BTW anyone hear bout Roy laying blame on Romo? TO has got him trained already. TO's successor indeed.

No, what'd he say?

Give them the November treatment... run the ball down their fucking throats.

Their max protect on offense is going to allow them to score a lot of points. Gotta get into the mid 20s to win IMO.

It looks like it wont be as windy as december's game.

That dude is soft. Soft as anyone can be.

He's good at making one circus catch a game.

That's it.

Oh and that Roy E. Williams.

 

I sure would trade a 1st, 3rd and 5th round picks for him.

We'll have to hear all off-season that it's because he was just learning the playbook and him and TO are gonna be dominant with the best two-back running combo in the league.

I can't wait to watch this ceremony.

Watched most of the game with a cowboy fan. Epic

the mets bullpen should be very good next season. If I were a Mets fans, Id be on the Manny bandwagon. If they could get him, the mets will be very tough to beat next year. They might have to add a SP too.

I like him for a year but the Mets have zero interest.

I liked John Maine's quote today. It displayed my thoughts in a more respectful way then I wouldve said it.

Thats the problem. We WOULDN'T get the bye (assuming Minnesota wins this weekend). If Minnesota wins this weekend and we lose and Minnesota beats us the following week then they get the bye. That would be a Mets-like choke

But if Minny lost this weekend and we lose out then we get the bye. So would we be the first?

I wrote something like this a few weeks ago.

Obviously Plax is a dumbass but he didn't grow up as priveleged as some of us...

There's going to be 40,000 there on sunday night. This is going to be the Redskins game from last year, part two.

it'll just make our first round bye that much more helpul.

if we dont get that then were fucked.

Would we be the first team ever to lose four straight games to finish the season and still get a bye?

Sounds like he has a power arm.

Out of curiousity, who IS a very good OC? Who are the play-calling virtuosos around the league that Gilbride should aspire to emulate?

The only guy that comes to mind is McDaniels.

I guess people always think there can be a lot better. I'm hard pressed to think of a guy who would run our offense more effectively and have the amount of continuity he has with his players. That part of him is really underrated. Whatever the players see they have no problem going over to him and explaining it. Not call a private meeting excluding the QB and TE...

Those crybabies are just pissed that we got a closer that will finish games AND rub it right in their faces.

I'm defniitely interested to see how that unfolds.

The Phillies players are really going to be bitching now :lol:

His celebrations after saves make Joba look like Eli.

Chad Bradford is a free agent. If we dealt Smith then we'd sign Bradford.

If Omar has a chance to pull that off he shouldn't wait another second. Unless he thinks he can keep Chavez.

lmao dude if if's and buts were candy and nuts.....

 

FG are forced you know. No one says fuck the TD let's go for a fg unless they have to. And even FG's inside the 30 are not gimme's. Any Giants fan should be well aware of this. I did not try to give the defense credit for the blocks. I was talking strictly first four possesions. How many does it take to score 14 pts?

 

If you want to talk about the blocks fine. Our special teams pitched in along with the defense to give us an opportunity to win. What did the O do with those chances?

 

You don't have a freaking leg to stand on here. The defense definately did not play good, but sure as hell played good enough to give our O a chance to win. No question.

The conditions were bad indeed but it didn't keep the Eagles from scoring 20, and both our offense and defense are better than theirs. The problem, if you'd take five to forget about defending Gil, was the play calling. They called smart plays per the conditions and we did not.

Did I not say Gilbride called a bad game? Quote me where I said he called a good game. Quote me where I said the offense played well and deserves no blame.

I commented on how it was tough for our O to get in a rhythm based on the fact our D played like shit especially in the second half and you've somehow spun it into me saying our D was the only bad thing about the game.

A 30 yard field goal is considered an easy kick. The defense allowed Akers to get into position to get two easy kicks. Kudos for stopping them in the red zone, that still does not mean they did their job on those drives.

you're right, b. that opening drive was a killer. but once we did get the ball in that Q we showed no urgency. probably should have been in a hurry up at that point. all in all though, you got to give the eagles credit for playing a very smart game. it was vintage mcnabb doing the things that eli can't do. crisp short passing and occasionally keeping a drive alive with his legs

Honestly I didn't expect a hurry up when it was still 10-7 because that would go against what the Giants have been doing the last three years. I was pretty pissed about how we came out after the 40 yard TD pass to Westy. We needed to pick up the tempo because a) we were down by two scores b) we had no offensive momentum at all. That was the time for the hurry up.

Like I said, we forced 3 punts and a fg in their first four possesions. All we needed from the O was 14 pts.

 

And yes 20 pts allowed. I didn't realize blocked fg's equated to poor defense. Are there some mystery pts somewhere I've missed?

If they made the two FGs then it's 26 points. In reality that has nothing to do with the defense. The defense failed to do its job by letting the Eagles drive to our 15. The two blocked FGs has to do with special teams.

How about to open the second half? We get a shot in the arm to end the first half from the Dockery return, the Eagles get the ball against the wind. They drove down to our 14 and took 7 minutes off the clock. We eventually blocked the field goal, but did the D do its job? No. If they got a three and out against the wind we would've started the drive at our own 40 with the wind. Instead they wasted half the quarter.

14 points against a tough defense in those conditions isn't very likely. This offense is good but not THAT good.

Why crucify the defense? Last time we gave up 31 points to this same team. This time we held them to 20, and thanks to a ST td our offense only needed to score 14 points. We would not have even gotten the late TD if not for prevent mode.

 

Yeah there was poor execution from the offense, but to say it's just that and not playcalling as well is a stretch. The wind was so bad it was a miracle there weren't at least two picks. The smart move would've been to utilize the league's number one running game when we were still in it.

Held them to 20? They were within distance of two 30 yard field goals that we blocked. They imposed their will on us with the running game and dump offs all game long.

The D played like shit yesterday.

I think you've got it backwards. We forced 3 punts and a FG on their first four possesions, with a blocked fg to show for our own offensive efforts. Our defense got tired cause they were on the field all day. We earned about 9 first downs, and 4 or 5 of those were gimmes against prevent defense. Our offense stank up the joint. No excuses.

Maybe one reason they were on the field all game was because they couldn't stop them on third down.

Obviously the O wasn't going to be as great as they've been all year with the conditions and playing a good defense, but the D gave them zero chance to get going.

Anyone else going?

First road game

This was Gilbride's first BAD game in a while. He'd been very good for most of the season despite everyone bitching about him.

And like GG said it's hard to call a solid offensive game when the defense was giving up 3rd down conversions 66% of the time. Their D was fresh, our O couldn't get into a rhythm.

Apparently Plax's lawyer is a legend:
