Go Eagles beat the Giants
Posting my reply from the other thread:
Again its been only 2 weeks and the Giants lost to two good teams. Its not like they are the Bengals or Jets. And the rest of the division is only 1 game ahead. Plenty time to correct their issues.
The line was an issue all last season and they still won. They need to scheme for better protection, which they can do with keeping a TE in to block and the back chipping.
I bet this adjustment takes place this coming weekend. Now if they lose to Philly and then have to go to TB at 0-3, I'd say they are close to done.
Right now as an Eagles fan I am worried the Giants are going to go all out and destroy the Eagles. Early prediction is Giants 34, Eagles 13
Look I'm usually there with you but I can't agree here. First, it's the Giants. They're 1-5 against Philly in the past 3 years, the 1 loss when Wentz threw two early picks and they still almost won that game. Second, it's in Philly, where the Giants get absolutely
demolished every year. And those were better Giants teams than this.
Going on to their issues. Why do you think it's so fixable? OL play around the league in general is bad, and the Giants look like they have one of the worst situations. Those don't magically become better. Honestly, how does that OL improve enough to where the Giants offense is any bit of a threat? And while the Giants OL has gotten worse, the Eagles DL has become exponentially better. The hot and cold Eagles pass rush last year still got to Eli, and now the pass rush is even better. The Chiefs and Skins have two top OLs in the league and the Eagles got sacks against them.
Eli is also regressing pretty hard, although part of that is due to the OL. Marshall has been a big disappointment. They still have no running game. Odell still isn't 100%. And for however much you hate Doug, McAdoo is worse. He's a coward who got the ball back before halftime with 3 timeouts left and ran the clock out instead of trying to score. That's soft. That's the coach you're afraid of? The one that's suddenly going to draw up better protections and come up with a good offensive game plan?
And finally that score prediction. The Giants haven't put up 20 or more points in what, 8 games now? And against the bad Dallas defense they only managed 3? I get being an Eagles fan means you've seen your team blow games they should've won. But I don't see it here. I get that their defense is elite, but I'd be shocked if the offense even puts up 10 points. Maybe Wentz throws 3 TAINTs and suddenly Eli figures it out. But I'm pretty comfortable predicting the Eagles beat the Giants. I don't even think the Eagles are a top team in the league, they have serious flaws. But the Giants are just bad
