The Eagles Falter Against the Giants

For a team to score 56 points then only score a paltry 3 points against a New York Giants defense that is ranked almost last in pass defense and points per game is astounding. But the Eagles found a way to do it. The Eagles lost to the Giants 16-3 yesterday in what can be described as nothing less than pathetic.

For once, people weren't screaming at their television wondering what was going wrong with McNabb. People were asking why we wasted a 2nd round draft pick on Winston Justice after seeing him get humiliated by Osi Umenyiora (6 sacks). I knew not having Brian Westbrook for this game was going to make it tough, but I never dreamed that the loss of William (Tra) Thomas was going to be so big.

In addition to not having Westbrook and Thomas, the Eagles defense was without Brian Dawkins and Lito Sheppard as well. The defense however still played well but were having trouble getting pressure on Eli Manning. So don't let the score fool you, this game was DOMINATED by the Giants.

The Eagles are 1-3 and 0-2 in the division. Unless something miraculous happens this season could be a wash, especially considering this part of the schedule was suppose to be the east part. Hopefully this bye week will give our players some rest and we can build off of that.
