NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION W6 Other Games: Thursday Night Football Edition: PHI v NYG

[Pape]

You got your 4-1 Eagles vs your 1-4 Giants ... game is on Prime... if you don't have prime, its streaming on Twitch...

Eagles have been winning, but their offense really hasn't gotten on track...

The Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart is without his best receiver WR Malik Nabers... can they actually score any points vs a mid Philly defense?

Good teams very rarely lose consecutive games.

I'm expecting Saquon Barkley to be a lot more involved in this game.
He only had six carries last week - only one in the second half - and just nine touches for the game.

Eagles have extra incentive after a loss; Barkley has even more, against the team that didn't attempt to re-sign him.

Denver has a really good defense; the Giants not so much.

Philadelphia should win this game easily.

 

[Pape]

agreed, the eagles should win this game...

but there is something wrong with their offense... in 3 of their 5 games they have had less than 300 yards of total yards... maybe its just a statistical anomaly based on field position etc... but overall its not a sign of a healthy offense

You can maybe explain their passing game woes (2nd worst yds/game in the league), but their rushing O is bottom 5 too and under 100 yds/game, that is very surprising.

with Smith, Brown, Goedert & Barkley thats quite the accomplishment, isn't it?

It is, but they are kinda built to run and Hurts came in a s a pretty raw passer. He can certainly throw the ball, and has weapons to do so, but if I recall they've gone through stretches the past 2-3 years where they struggled to throw the ball. So it is surprising, but I think their inability to run the ball has been more surprising, and really the main reason their O has struggled overall.

But trying to get an uber from Gillette to Boston after a Sunday night Pats/Pack game was the worst 4 hrs of my life.

I've been a few times. Got in a bad jam after one in the old stadium. The new stadium has decent highway access but I started staying at a hotel near by and they offer shuttles to and from.

[Pape]

nice catch by humphrey...

why cant we get guys like that?

 

[Pape]

Lol. no way. dart scoots in for 6...

Is it possible the eagles are gonna lose this game?

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

An uber? brutal

We got bad advice from the locals.
We were going to the train there/back, but wanted to get down to the stadium early, have drinks, watch games on the patio at CBS...etc.
We were told getting an uber there/back was not a problem.
There wasn't.....back was.

 

[Pape]

All the momentum is in the giants favor...

 

[Pape]

Eagles are flat... sloppy...

 

[DoubleDeluxe]
