A typical NFC East game where a 2-11 team gives an 11-2 team everything they have but in the end makes too many mistakes to win.
1. I thought Foles played pretty well. He missed some throws but that is to be expected he hasn't started in a year and hasn't played with these receivers (except for the Tight Ends). He needs to stop double pumping and just air it out, some of that is the familiarity with his receivers. He has to trust them. How can argue with 4 TD passes though.
2. Bringing back Bryan Brayman payed dividends quickly. He was in on both the punt block and the extra point block and I think it was him that the line shifted to that opened up Jenkins for the field goal block.
3. Whoo Nellie, excellent game from him. He had a bad drop but the difference between this year and last, they came back to him and he made a nice secure catch.
4. Alshon Jeffrey is playing like a number 1 wide out. Yes he had another TD, but he is making plays all over the field and he is drawing the double teams that is allowing the others to get theres.
5. Jim Schwartz was out coached big time in this game. Now I can't blame him for the missed tackles but every move he made Eli has an answer for. Just seems like some QB's and some teams always have a particular coaches number. The Giants have Schwartz number. Interesting enough we are 3-1 against them with Schwartz as the D coordinator but those wins haven't been pretty.
6. Ronald Darby had an up and down game, bit several times on double moves, but then made a great play on the INT and also had a good pass breakup later in the game. Got flagged for two ticky tacky calls that really could have been called every time the Giants had the ball.
7. The Giants were gifted 10 points in this game by the officials. This is becoming a theme. I find it rare when a broadcast points out just how much officials miss, but that pick play was so obvious it cost us 7 points. I thought the off sides on the punt team could have went either way, they moved almost at the same time, that almost always goes against the offense. One holding call all game against the Giants o line (one of the worst in football)but yet time after time you could see the holding. There spots on the football seemed off (for both teams BTW). The Eagles defense didn't play well but its magnified when the guys in the stripes are not on their game.
8. Bradham's penalty was a joke, I know the second guy usually gets the flag but there was nothing more than happens a lot in this game. That led to a bigger fight later. The Officials lost control of this game. How do they not throw a flag on the Giants receiver there for holding Jenkins and then throwing him to the ground after the play?
9. More Ayaji and Clement less Blount please, he has slowed down considerably.
10. Finally kudo's to the fans who invaded Giants stadium and gave us the home field advantage late in the game. When was the last time an offensive lineman jumped offsides because of noise in his own stadiuam. The Fans are going to will this team deep into the playoffs and maybe even the Super Bowl.
Overall three straight games on the road two on the West Coast followed up by a road game against a division rival. We come out of 2-1 despite losing our QB. Can't beat that. Best record in football. Can't beat that.
