Eagles/Giants game is extremely pivotal

[Who Del]

If Philadelphia can beat the Giants that would mean two divisional teams would be 0-2. One would stand at 1-1. And the Eagles would be atop at 2-0. Still very early in the season. But any chance you can get to get up on the division is important.

I think Reid needs to play this card. This could be a chance for the Eagles to put a stamp on the division to let everyone know they're back. I think it will be a very close game. The Giants looked good against a strong Colts team.

Should be a great game and a good appetizer for the Skins-Boys......too bad its a 1 pm start and not a 4 (I don't see much worth tuning into at 4 next week). Hate to say it, Who Del, but.......Go G-Men!!!

[Warhead36]

This week and Week 5(when the Skins play at New York and the Cowboys play at Philly)are going to be two HUGE weeks of early season NFC East ball.

[Ellis]

Sorry Who_Del... but the Giants are gonna beat you guys.
Good Luck though!!

[moondog]

As much as I would rather side with the eagles, I think I have to cheer for the Giants in this one. They face a tougher schedule anyway therefore they need to beat the Eagles to help out the skins in this one....the lesser of two evils i guess?

If it makes you feel any better, the Eagles are my least hated team in this division...I really don't "hate" them at all...but I'm still obligated to be a Giants fan in this one, as long as McNabb puts up big numbers in a loss (haha he's my fantasy qb)

It's going to take more than a win this week to put a stamp on the division!

Since I can never support the Giants, I'll be routing for your Eagles Who Del. Actually a tie would be okay! :gaintsuck

Week 2 is not too early. The Eagles were 0-6 last year against the division. This is ample time to lay the smack.

[skinfan2k]

i think eagles start off 4-1.. i called it earlier and i think could be 5-0

Lay the smack on the Giants, yes. Lay the smack on the division, no. Just off to a nice start! Good luck this week.

If you say so. Maybe the Eagles will decide to make an appearance anyway just in case they have a chance.

[eagles78]

I'm nervous as hell.:laugh: This is gonna be one long week.

This game is huge. If the Giants win, both the eagles and Giants will be 1-1. Making the winner of the skins/boys game even bigger. One of us will either be 0-2, or tied for first place.

Both games should make for some great drama

As a Giants fan, this might sound crazy, but I don't think this is a "MUST WIN". I admit the Giants must win 1 of the next 2 games, but I think they have a great shot to beat Seattle. They're probably more pissed off about that loss than any other they had in 2005. Even though the Giants lost a home game, the 'Skins showed in 2005 losing AFC games isn't the end of the world if you handle your business in the conference. I don't really expect (I hope) to win games on the road in the division, especially one as tough as the NFC East.

I think the 'Skins game (@ DAL) is more of a must win because they're already down a tiebreaker to the Vikings and you don't want to lose another conference game.

Either way, going down 0-2 isn't the end of the world or the season.

I agree with your first point about, but slightly disagree with your second. I think the Eagles and Cowboys need to win this weekend. In order to have a chance to win this division, I think you have to go at least 3-3, which is most easily done by winning your home games.

Seeing the debacles called games between the Giants and Eagles last year, I honestly do believe the Eagles can beat them this week, unless Eli has made huge leaps/bounds in his development. I will be most interested to watch the DL/LBs and if they can stop Tiki. God knows we've seen him reel off enough runs against us in his career - we should be able to by now.

NO DUH.

NO DUH.

You're so full of angst lately? You ok?

[Phixius]

This situation sounds too familiar

LOL! No. :twitch:

Actually, Who Del, my only point was that of COURSE this game is pivotal. It's as obvious as the noses on our faces. You are a big contributor to this section and better than this thread, Homey!

You're right I am better than this thread. I'm better than this entire message board. :D

[Eagle091]

it's not a must win, but it could be a statement game. "announce your presence with fraking authority". the gints go 0-2 after winning the division last year, and everybody in the media will be talking how about philly's back{they never left imo}, and the giants got in by default. 0-2 and the ny media will be all over eli.

[Number5]

Just checking in.....


I will be at the game....

I turn 30 on Tuesday so it's an early gift.....

Drunk by 10:30 am...sober by National Anthem...then drunk again by kickoff....

Ohhh my....the life of an Eagles fan! :)
