Giants’ QB Eli Manning named NFC Offensive Player of the Week

The result means the Eagles (3-3) have now won two successive games to move from last place in the NFC East into a tie for first with their opponents.

The Eagles (3-3) beat the New York Giants 27-7 in a sloppy game Monday night for their third win in four games after a 0-2 start. But when your team is mentally tough and can take a punch – with that first drive (for a touchdown by the Giants on Monday night), oh, my God, they’d fall apart. “There’s no excuse. Like I said, I’ve got to get my football IQ and awareness up and get a better understanding for the rules, so I can eliminate these penalties”. This team has an light switch for a few reason, they just can not put their best effort on the field every time.

So we had a Giant debacle in Philly, a wonderful chance for the Mets in Chicago, a sleep-deprived Blonde Bomber and all of the antics you’ve come to expect and love. And they were headed back down to score again.

During an appearance Tuesday on CBS Sports Radio’s 94WIP Morning Show in Philadalphia with Angelo Cataldi, Kelly said: “There’s times when you watch the tape and you’re like, ‘Wow that’s a helluva throw, helluva play.’ He’s just a little bit inconsistent right now, I think we can build upon it”. The Eagles would respond with a Sam Bradford TD pass to Riley Cooper later in the quarter, and we were all knotted up at seven after one.

“Honestly, I think it was just me having a poor football IQ and not being aware of the rules of dumping him, because I dumped him”, Moore said in an explanation nearly as mind-boggling as the play itself.

Beckham, who suffered a hamstring injury last week, became a non-factor during the second half.

Bradford threw for 280 yards in the game but had three interceptions.

But Bradford also threw three interceptions. On the other hand, Philadelphia was supposed to be a contender this season with a re-engineered defense and the addition of running back DeMarco Murray.

After Nikita Whitlock ran into punter Donnie Jones to give Philadelphia a first down at its 28, Murray took over. That came on third down and kept alive a drive that ended up in a Philadelphia touchdown. Caleb Sturgis’ two field goals completed the scoring for the Eagles. As impressive as those statistics may be, the pressure the Eagles were able to consistently apply to Manning is what should give the defense hope going forward.

Tom Coughlin was frustrated with the New York Giants after their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and nothing had changed a day later.

The Giants took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards in eight plays for a touchdown, and they made it look easy.

That was true in Manning’s rookie season of 2004, and it’s true today. “Sam’s our quarterback. So we’ve got full confidence in Sam”. After being shut out in Philadelphia a year ago, the Giants were on the board less than five minutes into the game and hunting for more at Lincoln Financial Field. Carroll cut in front of intended receiver Dwayne Harris, then picked off Manning’s pass and returned it 17 yards for a touchdown to put the Eagles ahead 14-7 with 12:26 left in the second quarter.

LB Devon Kennard sat out his second straight game with a hamstring injury and was replaced by Mark Herzlich in the starting lineup… Against the Eagles on Monday, Manning was sacked three times.

Two snaps later, on third-and-2, Bradford’s pass to Matthews fell incomplete, but it wouldn’t have mattered, since Josh Huff lined up incorrectly, covering up the tight end without making sure he was on the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped. A quick three-and-out nearly hurt the Eagles when the Giants drove into Eagles territory after a punt.
