Giants practice Thursday without middle linebackers

Beckham is in the same situation with Dallas (2-3) coming to the Meadowlands on Sunday to face the Giants (3-3) in an NFC East showdown. DeMarco Murray broke out of his slump, rushing for 110 yards and a touchdown.

“All the credit goes to them”, Bradford said of Philadelphia’s defense. The former Heisman victor did not have a ideal day against Seattle as he threw two interceptions, but he led his team down the field when he needed to.

The Eagles were 1-3 before a 39-17 win over the New Orleans Saints at home last week. “I don’t see him favor his leg or think about his leg in terms of anything we’re doing from a training standpoint or from a game standpoint”.

SERIES HISTORY: 9th regular-season meeting.

Sam Bradford was 24-of-38 for 280 yards and a touchdown.

That’s the second most in the league. Eagles offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur was asked if Bradford has mentally recovered from his back-to-back ACL injuries.

All my long time readers know how much I like watching golf on TV.

“I don’t know. I don’t call the plays”. “They played more two deep coverages, played a few man-to-man underneath, and we didn’t execute very well”. Well, on the scoresheet it says Philadelphia 27 New York 7, which doesn’t even seem right because, just to the naked eye, the Iggles were just as bad as the G-Men.

Only a better performance by Bradford can quiet the criticism from the fan base.

The quarterback, who was sacked just four times in the Giants’ first five games, was sacked four times on Monday and penalized twice for intentional grounding. While Chip Kelly understands Bradford and the rest of the offense can improve, he doesn’t think a fear of another injury is in the mind of his quarterback. They went on a seven-game losing streak in missing the playoffs for the third straight year. But that will change Sunday night when they go up against Carolina’s Cam Newton.

McAdoo said at the end of last season that one thing he had learned is that running an offense is about players, not plays. “You have to move him around, don’t make it easy for them”.

“That’s part of football, sometimes you have those games”, Manning said. He’s not making the mistakes.

After Nikita Whitlock ran into punter Donnie Jones to give Philadelphia a first down at its 28, Murray took over. Josh Brown has been great converting on all eleven of his field goal tries and Brad Wing has done a great job punting in his first year as the Giants punter.

The Philadelphia Eagles jumped out as the favorites in many people’s minds with their ugly but definitive victory over the New York Giants on Monday, emerging from the morass that is the NFC East.

Despite being listed as questionable for the Eagles game, there was little doubt Beckham would suit up, and he played 66 of 68 snaps.

Pugh acknowledges the Giants are wounded, but he points out that numerous wounds were self-inflicted. Last year, the Eagles allowed 3.1 points per turnover. Now Dallas is undefeated in the division however has a 2-3 record with week 6 being their bye week. They’re discussing the thought process of why he’s throwing where in a game. In four of those games, he’s thrown at least two interceptions. He’s going to make his plays.

-LB Kiko Alonso practiced for the first time Wednesday since injuring his knee in Week 2.

The problem for the Giants is the less talked about injured players. He is 30th in third-down passing with a 48.5 rating. With Sam Bradford struggling, the Eagles must be able to establish the run Sunday night and keep the Panthers defense guessing. And the way things are going, they’re going to need that.

-Eagles DL Fletcher Cox vs. Panthers LG Andrew Norwell.

No other quarterback has more than one on the season. Norwell has 14 career starts. Olsen finished with seven catches for 131 yards and the touchdown last week. Walter Thurmond and Malcolm Jenkins are playing better that any other safety duo in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus.
