It's Over.
Listen, I'm just as big of a Giants fan as anybody out there, but I am also a realist. I see there being a 10% chance we make the playoffs and I will tell you why.
Michael Vick and Andy Reid's last game as Eagles.
You are gonna sit there and think Vick isn't gonna go off? Guy is gonna be a free agent. Playing for a handful of other teams that need a QB. He says he won't restructure his contract, so he will have to prove to everyone that he still has some left in the tank. You need to look at what our front 4 has done thus far on defense. Vick is going to have a field day breaking contain. Oh and if he doesn't have to break contain, he has nobody covering his guys. Prince and Hosley are doubtful. So there's Webster, Tryon, and Frederick, two of them being just signed off practice squad. Not to mention a banged up Kenny, if he even plays. Guy won't even say if he is coming back next year off his expiring rookie contract. Want pressure from the inside? Canty is doubtful too.
Andy Reid wants to end his Eagles tenure on a good note. What better way to do that than eliminate the Giants chances at a playoff birth. Eagles have won 8 of the last 9 in the series. This is much more than a rivalry game to Andy Reid.
Shady McCoy and Bryce Brown.
Giants run defense is awful. 25th in the league. Shady put up 123 against the Giants in September. Giants haven't even seen all of Bryce Brown, just 4 carries. Although he has been bottled up in the last 3 games hes played, but if there is a game to go off, this is it. Only shot Giants have at stopping him is to strip the ball, something Bryce has trouble with.
Eli Manning and Co.
Last two games Eli has put up 311 yards with 1 TD and 2 Ints combined. Blame it on the play calling, blame it on the receivers, something just isn't right. Nicks is still hurt, may need off season surgery. The Eagles have to be sick of getting embarrassed by Cruz who had 109 and 1 against them last meeting. If Eli and the WRs haven't broken out of the slump yet, what have they shown to make us believe they will Sunday?
Bottom line is the Giants just don't have what it takes this year. Antrel Rolle said himself on WFAN that he doesn't know how the rest of the team will come out on Sunday. That is the most concerning thing. Tuck is done. Webster sucks. Bradshaw is getting too many carries. Fewell says he puts the defense in the position to make plays, Coughlin doesn't even agree 100%. There is a lot more going on in the locker room that we don't know about.
By the way, I see the Skins, Packers, and Lions all winning their games too. Alfred Morris is going to run the ball down the Cowboys throats (Owls Up). Packers want that 1st round bye regardless of what happened last year. Stafford needs 300 to break 5,000 for the 2nd consecutive year, not to mention Megatron only needing 108 for 2,000 on the season. So really, it is all going to be up to the Giants, and they will lose.
P.S. If the Giants make the playoffs - I'll be happy
