EAGLES-GIANTS
- Thread starter Delco Lion
- Start date
That’s a guy from Nazareth. Buffet Parrothead on the Liar. Barkley scored 9 touchdowns in 2 games versus Nazareth. Bleep him.
I’m also of the belief that you can’t blame anyone in the front office for injuries.
Birds take the lead for the 1st time in the game, on a rushing TD by Josh Adams. That makes it 20-19, Birds. They go for a 2-point conversion, and Adams runs that in, so it's 22-19, Birds.
If they can get the run game going, then the season gets a lot more interesting.
Not sure if he stills does college but he’s knowledgeable fair and unbiased. Even for a OSU alum.
He is a meathead who is nearly impossible to listen to for any length of time. He is near the Glen Mason level of boring.
Game tied 22-22, with Birds on the move. They take a TO with 25 sec. left to kick a 43-yard FG for the lead. And the kick is good!
Fly, Eagles, Fly
Birds coverage on KOs has not been good today, which is a concern. Squibb kick?

Birds with a normal KO, and GMen return it to their 34 yard line.
Barkley only touched the ball 4 times in the 2nd half -- what's with that? (not that I'm complaining)

Boy, this loss is on Manning and the coaching staff. “You wouldn't know that Barkley was on the team in the second half.”
I was rooting for Saquon but to my Eagle fan friends on the McAndrew Board, “Fly, Eagles, Fly!”

Baffling. I suspect the Eagles injury-riddled secondary lulled the Giants into trying to throw the ball downfield.
I think there will be a hot seat for the coach, because this is a tough town and “what have you done for me lately” is the prevailing mood.
But, I think they have found a RB in Adams and a deep threat on the outside will make a big difference in offensive production next year.
If they get the running game going and find a vertical threat, then the offense will greatly improve. They’ll win some games too, which cures all.
Fantastic couple minutes as I watched Carolina go down and then that great "sweep the leg" tackle. Good day so far, now hope the Steelers can get the win.
Yes, two of which were on the final, futile drive, swing passes out of bounds to stop the clock.
And one other thing, there was nothing in the way Eli played in the first half which would lead one to believe that he'd be the one to carry the Giants in the second half. Missed a wide-open player for a two-point conversion to end their first drive; he checked down to a pass where the guy wouldn't even have made the goal line if he'd caught the ball. Then two bad interceptions, one in the second half, just boneheaded play overall. He's bad these days.
Few things with this.
#1: I really don't get the "pederson on the hot seat" talk. dude won the SB with backups all over the place last year, then was decimated by injury on the defensive backfield plus his book end OTs have been banged up and he lost his starting RB for the year. i mean.... hot seat??? "what have you done for me lately"??? gave the team and city the ability to call them selves defending super bowl champions for 364 days.
#2: I like Adams, and I hope you're right. Kid runs a little upright for my taste, but he's a haus. That said, remember what people said last year about Clemente? I'll admit that I even jumped on that bandwagon. Thought he was the answer at RB for the foreseeable future. What a difference a year makes. I'll hold my reservation on Adams until next year.
Thanks for the info Tom. I still think Wiz needs to be in there. I didn't see any of the game. I was stuck out on that line on the map between Ohio and Kentucky!!! Nice day!!!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.
They had Barkley and Robinson from McDevitt committed at RB and did not want to take a third RB in the class given the scholarship restrictions. They still wanted him, but he wanted a guarantee that he would be a RB and they could not give it.
