WTF wasn't his arm hit when he threw?

 

[Bri]

great play by the Gmen DL

 

[msommer]

Great ST play by Thomas. Nothing like awareness!

He was fighting off a block and still had the awareness to locate teh ball, stay out of the endzone, and bat it backwards. Very nice.

And it got them a safety

 

[fred_1_15301]

Great effort by McNabb there but good call. I don't care how well the Eagles defense plays. The can't win this game without any offense can they?

Doesn't look like it Not a big an of the play call there.

 

[modogg]

great play by the Gmen DL

it was a great play, but terrible call by the refs. He was hit when he threw.

 

[Bri]

Isn't there a Patriots offseason thread somewhere other than in this one?

good point sorry 'bout that

I thought the same thing - looked like Tuck was grabbing him as he threw - thought that would negate the penalty because his throw could obviously be effected. Is there a rule on this? Seems weird.

Only if Samuel and Co. keep getting picks.Thsi game is going exactly the way most of us thought it would. Low scoring and close.

he was hit before he threw too, by TuckI don't think you can claim that once in the grasp

Not sure that they really take this into account as much as they should.Can't blame the refs here, it was a bad playcall by Philly to put them in that situation.

Kind of a slow-devloping play from the 2.Next possession time for Andy to dust off his pages of TE screens, WR screens, front porch screens...

 

[fred_1_15301]

Eagles aren't getting much pressure yet but i'm sure it's just a matter of time. fortunately for them, Eli isn't hot yet.

 

[Yenrub]

Am I the only Giants fan that gets nervous every time Eli drops back to pass?

 

[JaxBill]

Hey Troy, wouldn't you oversell on the run after watching Eli's passes wobble even WITH the wind?

 

[fred_1_15301]

The majority of teams would love to have Eli as their starting qb. Not sure why you get nervous. He made one really bad pass this game. Other than that, he's playing ok (not great but not terrible).

Good post.J

Does Domenik Hixon look less special than we thought? I think so.

Carney gives Philly a break there.

Birds need to mount some kind of drive here.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Big stand by the Philly D and fortunate miss on the FG try.

That said, Philly better find some offense. Two first downs????

 

[awesomeness]

Carney misses the FG.

Still 7-5 Phillies over Mets.

 

[dotman]

Damn I thought it was obvious McNabb was going to throw downfield and he got turned as he was throwing. The refs need to be better than that.

 

[JaxBill]

At the very least they need a couple first downs and give the defense some rest/ field poisition.How about Rocca's post-safety punt? That was huge.

I don't know, i don't watch Eli enough but i haven't seen too many spirals. Seems like quite a bit are looking a little "duckish"

 

[bollocks28]

Anyone have a good link to the game? I'm stuck away from a tv.

TIA

Absolutely. People have to ralize that these guys are playing in cold and extremely windy conditions. Weather teh wind is at your back or in your face, it still makes passing very difficult.Anyone looking for a 300 yard performance by either of these guys is going to be sadly mistaken.QBs and kickers are going to have a tough time today. Not turning it over is going to determine who wins this one.

Wonder who is more nervous with their QB right now, Philly fans or Giant fans...

Both

LJ Smith makes a catch in traffic. Colour me surprised.

 

[JuniorNB]

First good run by Westbrook.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

The Philly O-Line is starting to getting a bit more push here

Don't think OP meant that Eli was bad, just that he looks a little "off" today, which I agree with. I'm not saying there aren't reasons, and I'm not saying he's a bad QB, but based on what we've seen so far, I'd be a nervous Giants fan today as well.Of course, I'd be a nervous Eagles fan as well based on what we've seen out of McNabb, so it probably doesn't matter.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

What's going on???

LJ Smith for a first down, and now a 3rd-and-1 conversion?

 

[T Bell]

Nice sunburn, Andy.

That's exactly my point. Their 'offness' isnot just a coincidence.

 

[fred_1_15301]

It works like a bad punt. Not too much harm for PHilly there. Unlike Eli's pick..........

 

[fred_1_15301]

What a tackle by Brown to save 7 there!!!

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Not that I like the INT, but I like that McNabb threw that pass.

Not throwing it is a sack and a punt. The throw gave them a shot and wound up NYG ball at the 20 - not much difference.

 

[fred_1_15301]

The Giants really look the better and more prepared team here. Philly is not wining the battle in the trenches at all.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

seems to have been a big momentum change...

 

[awesomeness]

Giants seem to be doing a lot of misdirections this drive, as they've noticed the eagles overpursuing. Its working pretty well for them

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Eli with ALL DAY to throw.

 

[JuniorNB]

Very important for the Eagles D to hold them to a FG here. A touchdown right before the half tends to be a big momentum swinger. Down 8-7, after playing so poorly, wouldn't be so bad.

 

[modogg]

the Eagles get the ball in the second half so yes a FG would be better, but a TD won't kill them too much

 

[awesomeness]

#### you gotta get that ball defense!

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

So 1st and 5 and the 21 is better than 1st and 10 at the 16?

 

[Yenrub]

This is what I am talking about

They run all the way down here now Eli throwing the ball and almost gets picked WTF ?

Turn around and hand the damn ball off

 

[fred_1_15301]

So 1st and 5 and the 21 is better than 1st and 10 at the 16?

I was thinking the same thing. The announcers totally missed that one..........
