Our analyst Wonder outlines the script for a Giants win over the Eagles..
The Giants, in my opinion, are are the lesser team. That being said, they CAN win as they have MORE OFFENSIVE POTENTIAL, albeit unrecognized at the moment! And they WILL DETERMINE who wins, not the Eagles.
Jints win IF:
- They play CLEAN…one non-disastrous turnover is ok.. BUT, they MUST protect Eli… 2-3 non disastrous sacks ok..NO MORE…and give him TIME, max protect
- Even if mostly unproductive, they must run a LITTLE..that can also be in form of short swings and flares, WR screens, etc…
- Can they get ANYTHING out of TE? Eagles blitz, SLIP OUT for EASY DUMPOFF to TE,etc..!
- Eagles will have a hard time “grinding it out” as they’re really not an explosive offensive club…so NO HUGE plays for them, and STOP THE RUN…this will put all the pressure on Wentz to “air it out”..and despite early success, he’s starting to show a few chinks in the armor
- Do NOT let Sproles “loose” !!! or a Matthews bomb
- Giants D must mix it up with a lot of different looks..force Wentz to check off to a running play, and THEN get back in position…OR disguise normal defense and then blitz him…in short, make him uncomfortable and push them into the wrong audibled plays…
- Jints can win even if they’re -1 turnovers but NOT -2… and if EVEN and no ridiculous returns, Def td’s etc.., I think Jints can win…but MUST PLAY SMART.. that includes the coach…hence, my doubts!!
Sadly, I think the Gmen lose by a FG in close game..hope I’m wrong..!! If they execute they can pull it out.
