What was I thinking?
Hey Cowboys, where is our thanks for beating the Giants?Something you couldn't do.
Geeeezus Panda you guys really spanked the crap out of us yesterday. Eli Manning seems to be stuck on stupid again.
What was I thinking?Do we even have a chance against the Giants today?

He got that huge ass contract and look how he acts?
Getting ready for the big game tonight.
loading your guns up for Santa?
Enough with the Santa talk, getting old.
It'll never get old.Enough with the Santa talk, getting old.
But would you rather me talk about how the Philly fans cheered when Michael Irvin broke his neck and had to be carried off on a stretcher, standing on their feet cheering while the gurney was taken off?
Let the smack talking begin.........
We may or may not be done...but the beauty is, we can decide on that. If Philly had won, we'd be getting hung for the next week by half the people on this board...it's our turn.
Enjoy your win.We may or may not be done...but the beauty is, we can decide on that. If Philly had won, we'd be getting hung for the next week by half the people on this board...it's our turn.
Will do.Enjoy your win.
McCoy is a good back but only about half of what Westbrook used to bring. I'll be glad when Westbrook calls it a career and I never have to watch him play again.
Whew, didn't think we would pull off the win.

SAN DIEGO—The Eagles were forced to settle for a field goal against the Chargers Sunday after sustaining a 260-yard, 64-play drive that featured six separate red-zone appearances and took 52 minutes off the game clock. "It's disappointing not to score a touchdown when you keep a drive alive for more than three and a half quarters," said quarterback Donovan McNabb, who completed 32 of his 66 passes, converted 26 first downs, and was carted off the field for X-rays twice during the drive. "At least we came away with three points. Those 120 yards in penalties really hurt our field position, but those conversions on third and 21, third and 64, and the fake punt on fourth and 72 showed that this team never quits." Backup QB Michael Vick took one snap from center during the nearly hour-long drive, failing to complete a screen pass.
You're ing re ed. How do I miss a quote like this.Perhaps, and maybe that's what this team needs.
WE play the Giants on Sunday night.
The Giants had first place in their grasp Sunday night but they fumbled it away to the Philadelphia Eagles, who took advantage of numerous Giants mistakes and a porous Giants defense for a 45-38 victory in Giants Stadium.
Despite all their self-inflicted damage, despite trailing three times by two touchdowns, the Giants actually held a one-point lead, for all of 15 seconds, late in the third quarter.
But they could not hold it, just as they could not hold the football consistently on the slippery turf in a nationally televised affair that was as entertaining as it was ragged. The Eagles defeated the Giants for the fourth consecutive time.
Even in the final two minutes, with the clock nearing midnight and half the seats empty, the result of this drama stayed in doubt as the Giants got a 4-yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Kevin Boss to cut the Philadelphia lead to 7 points.
The Giants followed with an onside kick but the ball bounced out of bounds and the Eagles took possession on the Giants’ 44-yard line. And even after that, the Giants got the ball back in the waning seconds to try for an improbable tie.
But appropriately, their final offensive play was a fumble and turnover as Manning was stripped of the ball at his 11, a play that ended in a brief fight between the teams.
It was the second lost fumble of the game for Manning, who nevertheless completed 27 of 38 passes for 391 yards and 3 touchdowns. “We did a lot of really good things,” Manning said. “We fought back really hard. There were also some missed opportunities.”
One of them was a fumble by Brandon Jacobs on their first drive that resulted in a 60-yard touchdown run by the Philadelphia defense. A Giants fumble in the third quarter — by Manning, when he stumbled on a run — ended a Giants drive at the Eagles’ 14.
And an Eagles fumble in the second quarter by quarterback Donovan McNabb was not recognized as such because no one picked it up and an official blew his whistle. Because the play was inadvertently ruled an incomplete pass, the Eagles retained possession and drove on to score a touchdown.
Philadelphia improved to 9-4, good for first place in the N.F.C. East, a game ahead of second-place Dallas (8-5) and two games ahead of the third-place Giants (7-6). With three games left, the Giants’ playoff chances took a hit.
Had the Giants won, the Giants, the Eagles and the Cowboys would have been tied at 8-5, but the Giants would have had the inner lane for an automatic playoff berth because of the tie-breaker formula.
But now, with three games left, the Giants will struggle for even a wild-card berth. “The ship is rocky right now,” defensive end Justin Tuck said, “but there won’t be no quit.”
Mathias Kiwanuka, another defensive end, said that when the offense scores 38 points, the defense ought to perform well enough to win.
“We’ll take our share of the responsibility,” Kiwanuka said. “It’s sheer disappointment. It’s definitely a tough one to swallow. With that many points, there had to be a lot of mistakes out there.”
The worst of the mistakes were the fumbles, five of them by the Giants, four of them lost. Mention of them brought a sour look by Coach Tom Coughlin. “I was disappointed at the number of balls that were on the ground,” he said.
But the game’s pivotal moment was a pass, not a fumble. It came after the Giants took a 31-30 lead on a 61-yard pass-and-run play from Manning to Domenik Hixon.
The Eagles responded two plays later with a 60-yard pass-and-run play from McNabb to DeSean Jackson to take a 37-31 lead with 4:57 left in the third quarter.
Jackson got behind safety Aaron Ross, caught the ball at the 15 and ran backward and in slow motion over the goal line before performing a dance of celebration.
Referring to problems in his pass defense, Coughlin said there was more to it than just the secondary but added: “We didn’t cover well. We didn’t cover for very long.”
The Eagles’ lead was only 6 points because they had missed an extra point earlier. But they went up by 14 on a one-yard touchdown run by Leonard Weaver to cap a 91-yard drive. They added a 2-point conversion for a 45-31 lead with 5:48 left.
McNabb completed 17 of 26 passes for 275 yards and 2 touchdowns. Michael Vick, his backup, ran for a touchdown of one yard among his three carries and two passes. Both McNabb and Vick, with their differing styles, seemed to keep Giants defenders on the wrong foot much of the time.
One Eagles scoring drive could have been short-circuited by a strange play when Osi Umenyiora forced a fumble by McNabb. Because McNabb lost the ball while beginning his throwing motion, the Giants apparently thought it was an incomplete pass and, after failing to intercept it before it hit the ground, let it alone when it fell to the ground.
The officials ruled the play dead on what was announced later as an inadvertent whistle. The Eagles retained possession and marched behind McNabb’s passing down the field for a touchdown.
But their extra-point attempt was blocked by Fred Robbins. It was that kind of night, with balls bouncing all over the place in unplanned ways for both sides, especially the Giants, whose hopes for a successful season are dribbling away.
Extra Points
With seven catches, the Giants’ Steve Smith broke the team’s single-season reception record of 82, set by Amani Toomer in 2002. ... Giants right offensive tackle Kareem McKenzie left the game in the first half with a knee sprain and was replaced by William Beatty. Giants cornerback Corey Webster left the game in the second half with a knee injury.

Enjoy it. When we face you overrated s in the postseason, payback will be a . Still not impressed with the Eagles at all. I'm sorry but they aren't that good. Giants have at least proven themselves especially in the postseason.
We'll see what happens Jan 3rd.
