Tom may be at the game or out enjoying this great weather. 7-0 Giants Saquon being Saquon on the opening drive. Several nice runs and a 10 yd screen pass for a TD.

And blatant holding on the Giants OLineman Saquon's TD NOT called....one sided officiating so far!
Meh. As an Eagles fan, I can’t argue with the call. It was literally right where Adams cut through the line on the run.
This game will be over soon enough.
Yeah. Weird. Manning had a wide open receiver in the end zone and checked down, incomplete. Something’s going on in Eli’s head nowadays that is holding him back.
Thanks. Interesting choice to throw there. And then Eli missed an open receiver per LionJim. That could come back to hurt the Giants.
Two runs by Barkley stuffed and 3rd down incomplete to Barkley could have been PI on Jenkins, but prob a good no call.
Lol, Saquon was tackled on that pass route there. In fairness to the ref, it wasn’t in the open field and thus maybe understandable that it was missed.
and some serious lack of talent at CB for the Birds, due to all the injuries they've suffered at that position this season.
Nice to see Tim Jernigan finally off of IR and playing for the Birds at DT.
I haven't a clue why the Birds went with their black uniforms today. They've only worn them one game this season -- their debacle against Dallas. I'm not superstitious, and I'll always prefer the kelly green unis, but why wear something that brought you absolutely no luck in a prior game?
@sluggo72, it appears that Wiz did not start for the Birds. smh
Sorry I wasn't around to start my traditional Birds thread. A few tasks and errands needed to be completed by me to maintain domestic bliss.
It’s funny how the refs are always against the team a person wants to win. Weird how that works.
Saquon is an ad executive’s dream. Just saw him in a credit card commercial. Couldn’t happen to a better person.
No way. They waited nearly 60 years for a championship. They would be insane to let him go. The fans might call for it because they are morons, but the team won’t panic.
I’m more speaking to the Philly media putting him on the hot seat. Lurie’s too patient to do anything rash. Roseman deserves some heat too, as his personnel moves didn’t work out (not resigning Robinson, trading Torrey Smith for Wallace, etc).
Sure the Philly media will always look to manufacture controversy. They are dumber than the fans. The organization appears to be well run for the first time in a long time.
Robinson not being with the team hurts, especially with all the injuries the Birds have suffered at CB this season. Reportedly, Howie offered Robinson more $$ than did the Saints, but the Saints offered more guaranteed $$, and that was the difference. Robinson got something like $10 mill guaranteed, with a lot of it upfront/1st year. The Birds were up near the cap limits, so they didn't have the option of front loading the contract. (Basically, the Birds had to choose between Robinson and Bradham. At the time, I thought they made the better decision in signing Bradham.) I'd also add that I think Robinson made the correct choice. The Birds signed him in 2017 for a 1-year veteran minimum. He's 31, and has a history of injuries. The Birds elected to go younger. Minus the injuries, it made have been a win-win for Robinson and for the Birds.
As for Torrey Smith, I'll give Howie a pass on that. Smith was overpaid, and while he was a speed threat, he consistently dropped balls that should have been caught all last season. Wallace had no injury problems in the past in the NFL. He suffered a broken fibula in the 2nd game of this season, which is not something anyone could have anticipated. Last I read, there was speculation that he could return in December. I'm not sure who would have to be cut/which starter or backup wouldn't play at WR if they wanted to make room for Wallace. The Birds have lacked a deep threat this season, but that hardly seems to be their biggest problem on offense.

A coach with a statue outside the stadium tends to not be fired impulsively. Wait, huh?
