Not so far, but recall that the Eagles almost gave up a huge lead to St. Louis last week. So, long ways to go here.

News coming in from Philly:

If you allow the Eagles to run on you, you are dead before the game starts. Even if you are playing well. I really expected a Giants win tonight. I didn't think the Giants would be this poor at stopping the run.

If they don't get it under control quick, the yardage is going to really start racking up on play action bombs.

Eagles keep putting 9 in the box on 1st and 2nd and the Giants go "eh fuck it, just keep running it."

That's the Giants for you. Run it up the middle in first down. Never gets old.

Giants are averaging 15 yards to go in third down. Not really a recipe for success.

That play made me wonder if they picked up something in Eli's calls. Totally stacked the line.

Why didn't they just take a knee at that point. Only bad things could have happened and almost did with Eli under pressure.

Oh man. Cruz drops a wide open td and comes down grabbing his knee and writhing around. Doesn't look good

The leg he jumped off of is the one he hurt. I'd bet money he was in so much pain he wasn't worrying about the ball. The fact that will go down as a drop is sad. that doesn't look good at all.

Hope Sproles is okay. At least he is walking but the way his leg got twisted I thought it was going to be really bad.

After the first two games, I was thinking "Maybe 6-10 for the Giants". Then the next three games happened and made me rethink that, but after tonight and seeing who the next 5 opponents are....yeah, 6-10 looking like a real possibility.

Because you have no faith in your QB converting a 3rd and 9 so would rather run the clock down a bit and hand the ball over than stop the clock and hand the ball over (or even worse turn it over).

The Brown's next 3 opponents have a combined record of 1-16. So they could easily be 6-2 3 weeks from now.

I think they'll be 5-3 after that stretch.

Yeah, but the other divisions are crazy tight too, and the leaders have all shown signs of leakage. The Cardinals have fought through a crazy part of the schedule with ridiculous injury problems. They're a pretty damned good football team.

Didn't see ESPN last night or today. Has the network gone to the 24-7 Lebron, Favre, Manziel type coverage of "The Cowboys are back"?

The 49ers are close to having run 10 offensive plays. One of them has been a run. What. The. Fuck.

Much more like Derek Anderson vs Brady Quinn IMO. Fringe QB gets to play, does well and holds off highly touted rookie.

Took two quarters but the Niners finally showed up. Two plays changed this game: the brutal PI and the bomb to Lloyd.

I do not believe this to be the case. With Anderson, even in his monster year there were signs of major problems on the horizon. His accuracy was poor. He threw 19 INT's.

Hoyer is more accurate with the ball, seems to be more careful with it and it looks to me like his skills will hold up better. The amazing thing to me is he's doing this without Gordon. The running game has been massive (and Mack going down may hurt that a bit), but he's doing this without a clear cut #1 option. I think he'll only get better when he gets that back.

I'm not sure anyone would care if the Rams packed up and went back to LA. I love them.. but I've been so frustrated since the greatest show on turf.
