Game Thread W2 - NY Giants V Philadelphia (1 Viewer)

WOW, What a game by the Giants.

This was a crazy game throughout and can't believe the Giants won.

This was a must win game for the Giants and they basically only showed up for the 4th quarter and overtime. Still a ton of mistakes by the giants but I am happy with the Results!!!

 
At the end of regulation, NYGiants complete a pass on the sidelines...the WR gets tackled out of bounds...clock keeps running (which I don't agree with...but I digress)...then the Giants line up and down the ball to stop the clock.

However...hold up...the refs review the last play...the one involving the catch and tackle out of bounds...what's the deal here? Why are they able to do this? The next play got off without a whistle...the announcers said the ref was buzzed before the play took place, but he didn't signal and didn't stop the play so how can they go back? i really don't have a problem with it...except for the fact that it smacks in the face of what the NFL was saying about the Miami/Pitt late red flag review. Even though the coach threw the replay flag before the snap of the ball...they told him...oh well...no one saw it...so too late because the next play had already taken place.

Can someone explain to me what's the difference here?

And why didn't they add some clock...even a few seconds when they reviewed that Giant's catch? Nevermind the coach having to argue to get the play set back to first down.

Sidenote: As a personal observation...sometimes it's a bit blatant how many calls the Eagles get during a game/season.

 
3rd and 21All out blitz. No offensive line. Eli dumps it to the yard number on the field.Giants are getting punched in the mouth. My sone just woke up from his nap. I'd rather play with him and put the race on. I'm out.
Did you ever tune back in?

This was more of a general question bro...no need to roll it up into the Philly/Giant thread and have it get buried. I also made mention of the Miami/Pitt game from Week 1...did this get copied and pasted to that official thread also?
 
i played against toomer

i didnt play lj smith since i have gates

i had to watch the lions game instead of this one.

yep not a good day

 
Unbelievable. Eagles completely imploded at the end. Eight sacks and kept Tiki to 51 rushing yards and still lost the game. Eli looked horrible in the beginning and really brought it on at the end. Eagles definitely deserved to lose that game due to their lack of discipline. Hope this is a wake up call for them to quit playing around and keep their mind in the game. I am truly sickened by that loss. Good job by the Giants taking advantage of their opportunities.

 
Woops...Super Genius "Skinny" Andy Reid strikes again.

Wonder what his record when winning by 17 at home?

If they punt that ball instead of going for it, they win. No doubt in my mind.

 
what the hell? can someone explain to me how the giants had a mutual catch that counted for them rather than dawkins, but when the eagles had one in the endzone to stallworth it counted as an incomplete?

The stallworth play was ruled not a catch because they players were ruled out of bounds. The mutual catch did not occur until both players were out of bounds.

Stallworth was OB.

From the silly use of replay column comes Coughlin's review of this play. If it had been overturned it would have been a TD for the Eagles. The shared catch goes to the O. It has for a couple of years now.
 
Carter made a real important catch to get to OT. Why don't they use him more?
He has never been able to stay on the field. I think they have always wanted him to be the homerun threat but injuries have really plagued him.The giants also have a ton of other options that limit what any third WR can get. I also just don't see him taking over for Toomer who played great today and while no longer much of deep threat still has great hands and is productive.
