BloodyChamp Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Eagles fans I’d relax. I didn’t see the whole game but what I did see was a scrappy team finally catching a break this week after missing so many all year in the Jets. That wasn’t some game the Eagles weren’t ready to play. That throw on the first drive when Hurts was tackled by 3 guys was 1 of the best throws I’ve ever seen that will be forgotten only because it happened at the start of a game. The run he had to score on that drive was no gimmie either. The 49ers game wasn’t the same after that screen pass that went haywire on their second drive. This will sound far fetched but hear me out. They went right down the field on that first drive without attempting 1 pass except the shovel pass at the goal line. Then they get the ball again off of a turnover down there and what Kyle Shanahan thought was best was not only to call a pass, but a pass that was behind the LoS which made the fact that the OL was controlling the LoS irrelevant. The pass also took forever to develop by design. It wasn’t just the opposite of what was working before, it was the opposite Xs 1000. I mean they might as well be coached by Jimbo Fisher I swear to gosh sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The Bills playing another Barnburner with the Giants. No, I'm not saying it's a great game, I'm saying I want to lock both teams in a barn and burn it down. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I only tuned into this game after the ALCS ended... so... it was 9-7 and is now 14-9 without any crappy weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 That touchdown pass Allen just threw was a pass that no coach would coach, and no quarterback named Rodgers, Manning or Brady would attempt. That’s why I’ll take Allen ftw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants absolutely do not have a functional offense (outside of that bizarre second half against the Cardinals) but the defense played great for three quarters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 so with the uniforms and the quality of play, the only way this game could get more retro is to have really awful astroturf in this stadium instead of what they have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 So, is the Giants offensive line playing way better, or are a lot of those hits and sacks he took more on Daniel Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 at least the Giants didn't settle for a field goal down 5 with 22 seconds left on 4th down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 The throw since by Allen wasn’t the best throw but it wasn’t the duck that it looked like if you saw the replay. He had to lob it over that pursuing guy’s head and hands and that guy made the play more than Allen blew it. Where the Bills blew it was by not punting.

BloodyChamp Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 They couldn’t cal 2 PIs in a row to end a dang game. The first one was definitely PI though. It’s about impossible not to commit PI by rule when you actually defend the TE over the dog like throw. That usually works because the TE gets back there free.

Cobra Commander Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 not sure what the success percentage is for the "hope the refs call Defensive Pass Interference" play, but the Giants kinda ran that play multiple times down the stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be real tough to throw it twice in a row, but it definitely wouldn't have been a "wrong" call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) i'm sure that DPI has been called on back to back plays several times before, but it's gotta be pretty rare at any point of the game, much less two plays with so little time left you know there's some 1980s Big 8 football enthusiast insisting the Giants should have just run the option at the goal line Edited October 16, 2023 by Cobra Commander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't likely be a smart decision, but I would love it even more then I do watching Penn State run base power out of the T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyChamp Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 It’s definitely been called twice before…to my rage lol! Especially at the ends of games when it hadn’t been called all game in a chippy game where shit happened everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
