Good articles on the Giants beating the Eagles in the Miracle at the Linc
Bob Glauber is focusing on the negative, “nine penalties, only one sack, eight sacks allowed, just 87 net yards in the first half, and a Plaxico Burress-Luke Petitgout shouting match on the sideline over the poor blocking. For three quarters, they absolutely stunk, and they knew it.” He does mention that the Giants have the right attitude to correct their errors.
Paul Schwartz wants to see more no huddle offense from the Giants. It does seem to work so it makes sense to me. I also like going 3 and 4 wide because the other teams have to take their best run stoppers off the field and very few teams have 3 or 4 decent corners.
Speaking of Plaxico Burress and Luke Petigout, that seems to be a non-issue.
Rick Cleveland has some nice things to say about Manning:
Critics, including NBC’s John Madden, have continued to compare Eli unfavorably to older brother Peyton. Madden kept stressing in the Colts-Giants broadcast that little brother is not as accurate a passer as big brother.You ask me, that’s like saying Mt. McKinley is not as high as Mt. Everest. True, but Mt. McKinley is still up there in the clouds. For the record, through two games, the two Mannings’ statistics are remarkably similar. Eli: 51-for-77 for 618 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions. Peyton: 51-for-77 for 676 yards, four TDs and one interception. Peyton’s passer rating is 103.1, ever so slightly higher than Eli’s 101.5.
Gary Myers also focuses on the positive, Eli Manning’s performance. Manning is clutch.
Mike Garafolo reminds us that our team sacrificed their bodies to fight for the victory over the Eagles.
I wonder if Eagles fans actually believe the lies their scumbag players tell, like when Akers says he didn’t mean to hit someone without pads on. Obviously it was an intended cheap shot but I’m sure he wishes he had tried to cheap shot an older, smaller coach. Of course, Eagles fans thought they’d start the season 4-0 which shows how they’ll believe just about anything, no matter how insane or obviously wrong.
Speaking of bastard Eagles, there’s a picture of McKenzie getting kicked in the nuts in the giants locker room. Luckily, the foot didn’t make solid contact. Jim Johnson is sticking up for Trent Cole, the assclown who kicked McKenzie in the nuts. I’m still waiting for the NFL to fine Cole – it sure didn’t take them long to fine Burress for throwing the ball into the stands after his TD reception.
Stay tuned – I’ll try switching my focus to the upcoming Seahawks game next.
