Dallas has beaten the Redskins in an OT thriller… so now let’s get down to business and let the smartest Eagles phans in the blogosphere hopefully describe for us blow-by-blow how the Eagles get up off the canvas and account for a lost season with a big performance on national TV.
Speaking of Livefyre, I am ashamed to admit the great T-Bone (aka Boner) is temporarily disabled with his Lifefyre module… but I’ve got the technicians working on him as we speak.
Eagles 3-6; Giants 6-3
Line: Giants by 5 points; Over/under: 45½
TV announcers: Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth, Michele Tafoya (NBC)
Gonna need a big game from the offfensive line and McCoy to even hope for a win in this one….
Vick and Maclin are OUT….as is DRC…
Last time met: The Giants scored 15 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to rally for a 29-16 victory over the Eagles on Sept. 25 at Lincoln Financial Field. Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw two of his four touchdown passes in the final period to lead the comeback. Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz caught two TD passes. Eagles running back LeSean McCoy rushed for 128 yards and a TD.
The dream—Eagles’ best-case scenario: They finally play up to their potential and earn a much-needed win against a division rival. Eagles backup quarterback Vince Young does his best Michael Vick impression and throws two touchdown passes. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson returns from a one-game benching with 100 receiving yards and also returns a punt for a touchdown. Manning throws three interceptions. Cornerback Joselio Hanson returns one for a touchdown.
Keep an eye on: Cruz (No. 80). He’s already burned the Eagles once this season. The Paterson Catholic High School graduate is tied for the team lead with 40 receptions for 672 yards and four touchdowns. His average of 16.8 yards per catch is third in the NFC.
Forecast: Mostly cloudy, high 54, chance of precipitation 20 percent, winds from west-south-west at 6 mph (weather.com)
Take it away, Smart Phans… and an all-out search by Livefyre goes out for Boner….
