Elliott’s 61-yard field goal lifts Eagles over Giants, 27-24

Guard Chance Warmack signed a one-year contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles on September 2.

Before today’s home opener, Eagles players, coaches and front office executives locked arms in a demonstration of unity.

NFL executive and players are speaking out after Trump said that Americans should walk out of football games if they see a player kneeling during the national anthem. The Eagles were still well short of field-goal range with just sevens seconds left in regulation.

Such is the ongoing evidence that the conversation is not going away any time soon, that the injection by President Donald Trump that NFL players who choose to kneel should be fired immediately would in fact spawn more protests and deeper divides, bringing teams and players into a national conversation they had previously declined to join.

“Yeah, it was weird”, Warmack said after sitting out. But Manning always comes through when he’s needed the most, or at least you can say he usually does. “I learned a few things that day that I would have never gotten to experience”.

Entering the game, injuries had already cost the Eagles four defensive backs and their kicker, and by the end of the first half they had also lost running back Darren Sproles (wrist), middle linebacker Jordan Hicks (ankle) and defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (calf). Giants have a awful special teams unit and the Eagles should look to take advantage of that. “We’re professionals. We know we have a job to do”. “They need to fix that position now because he was a liability”. It’s just like riding a bike.

A 36-yard penalty for pass interference on Eli Apple put the ball at the 15 and rookie Corey Clement ran in on the next play for his first career TD to make it 21-all.

The Philadelphia Eagles appear to be moving towards elevating former first-round draft choice Chance Warmack to starting left guard. The Eagles have won the last two playoff match ups, 23-20 in 2007 and 23-11 in 2009. He’s going to make it interesting. “[I] just kind of keep it more situational with him”. They have one touchdown on 22 drives against the Cowboys and Lions.

“When somebody asked me, who is the team to beat, who else would I say but, the Philadelphia Eagles?”. The Giants and Eagles have faced off 168 times with NY holding an 85-81-2 advantage.

“It’s a good feeling”, Warmack said after practice.

It shouldn’t matter. At this point the Eagles are a better team – and should get the win. Yo, Doug, you’re the coach.

Buffalo Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula went after Trump more directly. That McAdoo went public was not a big deal to a player who is as good as there is when it comes to handling criticism. I’m not sure the Giants have a single positive thing going for them right now. He’s been getting reps since OTAs. “We can’t by any means overlook them because they’re 0-2”. He’s a big grinder.
