they called holding on Lane Johnson on that? I did not see holding on the replay
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!! Birds - Giants (game 1) game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
That’s why they were cheering on that handoff. The TV crew should’ve picked up on that it was obvious that’s why the crowd erupted.
It is too hard to give up on this team because they have so much skill. If they can eliminate the mistakes they can play with anybody.
The problem is their persistent and very similar problems. #1 can’t handle pressure. You saw it on 3rd and 6. Rather than stand in the pocket and hit the wide open cross underneath, he panicked, rolled out and threw incomplete.
He’s done that all year long. Want to beat the Eagles, just blitz Hurts all game. He’ll toss picks galore.
Just when I thought the Iggles responded well and took control of the game, the Giants score on an EXPLOSIVE. PLAY. 
. Taylor to Slayton. 70 yards. 30-25, Iggles, 5:22 to go in the 4th.

Good grief. Giants with a 70-yard bomb for a TD to Slayton. Reed Blankenship with terrible coverage allowing Slayton to get behind him for the TD.
With the PAT, it's 30-25, Birds, with 5:22 left in the game

Welcome to the dark side.
Blankenship is a huuuuuge liability in pass coverage. Why this has not been addressed is a puzzle to me
Good player when you feed him. Kind of like AJ Brown. Amazing how things go well when you give your stars the ball.
Football might “evolve” and go through periods with gimmick offensive philosophies, but line play (OL and DL) still matters.
It’s amazing how such a simple concept can escape so many teams…NFL and NCAA.
Eagles have the weapons and bodies to win it all.

Elliott with his fourth field goal today. That could be considered a problem.
Shanahan is a great example of feeding his stars. McCarthy does it with Lamb too. And McVay with Kupp and Nacua. There’s a reason these guys command top $.
BS on the roughing the passer call against Reddick
They need #1 to get right. And to field a defense that threatens to be league average.
Birds with an INT in the endzone on the last play of the game.
33-25, Birds
Not always pretty, but a win is nice after the last 3 games.

Very entertaining game. One take away for me was that Saquon played well. But his injuries have left him a shadow of the player he was in his rookie year. Tough to be a RB in the NFL.
The Eagles did take a couple tough calls, but overall the refs looked to be on their payroll.A closer game than I expected. I thought the non-call on obvious Pass Interference on the next to last play was interesting.
What is he going to find?? Ask Miles SandersA closer game than I expected. I thought the non-call on obvious Pass Interference on the next to last play was interesting.
I’m hoping Saquon emphasizes a team with a good OL when he goes team shopping as a free agent
