E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!! Birds - Giants (game 1) game thread

Great play! Beautiful pass Hurts to DeVonta, and no safety in sight!
Beautiful play design and execution. Where has that been all year?
I’ll worry if that happens on back to back possessions. The Swift 5 yard loss on first killed them. The Giants are all out blitzing now. Time to see if Hurts can adjust. He hasn’t handled pressure well recently.
Reddick nails Barkley in the backfield on 4th & short. Birds take over on downs

Great individual effort by Reddick. The Eagles O is now dialing up screens to make NY pay for the blitzing. It’s the prefect counter and they got 2 passes for like 35 yards.
It’s not that particular bump in the road. It’s the persistent self-inflicted wounds this season. Penalties that extend opponent drives and take points off the board for the Eagles.
I was just taking that at face value but true, they absolutely killed themselves the last 3 weeks. At least that comes with the benefit of being something they can fix before the playoffs.
Birds kick a 21-yard FG to make it 20-3, Birds, at the end of the half.
Why the heck Hurts didn't step OOB on the preceding play is an unanswerable question (and a dumb decision)

That ended up costing them having to kick a field goal on third down at the 2 yard line.
edit, I mean wasting the time before the TO.
wtf was that on the opening KO return by Boston Scott? Zaccheus was running backwards and ran into him, causing a fumble, which the Giants recover on the Birds 14.
Good grief

This game is far from over with how the Eagles are playing. And now the Giants have the backup QB bump with Taylor.
Looked like a bad call. Should’ve been another critical Eagles penalty. In the long run, it’s better for the Giants to lose.
Pick 6 by Hurts. It appeared Goedert fell down, which resulted in the INT -- not really a mistake by Hurts.
76-yard INT reception by the Giants.
GMen go for 2, and he converts (it was close). 20-18, Birds, with 0:09 left in the 3rd qtr

Both of their coordinators they lost were outstanding. Their replacements don’t appear to be.
