Please use this thread for pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the Eagles - Giants 1st game of the 2024 season.

I would prefer that the NFL not intrude on my Christmas. But they didn't ask me, so I'm going to watch the game.

Go Birds!!

Morrow and Cunningham out at LBer is not good. If Saquin's OL blocks for him (a big if), he could have a lot of yards.

Could you take the 5 yd offside on the xpt? I don’t know. It seems sometimes you can ( maybe that’s. Personal foul u can)

What else you do ? Play the rookie?? I don’t think so. But I almost wish they had kicked Jack Driscoll inside

yeah, it's not an easy answer. I thought the rookies did OK at RG. Driscoll is versatile, so he'd likely play better than Opeta. Perhaps they're more concerned about having a viable backup OT, and as such don't want to move Driscoll inside.

TD, D'Andre Swift

Play is under review, as Swift's knee may have hit the ground when he switched directions and scramble back to the opposite direction

The call is overturned; no TD

23-yard FG attempt by the Birds, as they can't punch it in from 1st & goal.

Birds with some trickery which results in a delay of game, so it's a 28-yard FG attempt.

Elliott makes it, so it's 10-3, Birds, with 14:53 left in the 2nd qtr

Giants shank the punt, and Covey fields it on a high bounce and gets a few yards on the return. A new of 23 yards for the GMen on the punt
