Eagles or Giants?
 

Hey guys, what would you rather see: a Giants loss or an Eagles loss this week? I give more respect to the Giants overall so I would rather them lose as much as possible now and then worry about the Eagles later in the season.

Thoughts?

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

I'm more worried about the Eagles. I don't think the Giants will go any better than 8-8 with the schedule they're facing. The Eagles are also a better team, mainly because they have a MUCH MUCH better QB.

I'd rather see the Eagles lose. But I also don't think that will happen.

Eagles 24 Giants 19

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

That's a good point. I didn't really give schedule strength any weight.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

I would rather see the Giants lose. I thought the Eagles were going to be pretty good this year anyway.

I want to see the Giants get in that two game hole and let us and the Eagles duke it out for the division title.

It's kind of a funny thing when people talk about schedule strength within the NFC East because each team plays 14 common opponents. There are 6 games against the NFC East teams, then 4 against the NFC South, and 4 against the AFC South. But the other two games do really make that much difference in my mind. The Giants have to play Chicago and Seattle. Meanwhile the Eagles get the Packers and the 49ers. Big difference there. Chicago and Seattle, in my mind, will both be NYG losses. Meanwhile the Packers and 49ers will be ridiculously easy wins for the Eagles.

Of course anything can happen and we don't have a crystal ball. But from where I sit, that's what I'm figuring.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

I hate to say this but i look for the giants to rebound against the beagles this weekend. This is almost a must win for the giants. They dont win they could possibly be 0-3 to start the season. If you look at what the eagles have after the giants we sure could use them losing this weekend.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

i want the giants to win because i fvcking hate the eagles, and im tired of the national media always blowing them even after a 6-10 season. they beat the fvcking texans week one, wow, guess they are going back to the nfc championship in espn's eyes

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

It's close. But Eagles win by 7. Dante Stallworth will have another good game. Giants still are weak in the secondary.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

I don't care, so long as McNabb goes for 300+ and at least 2 TDs. He's the lynchpin of my fantasy roster.

Frankly, I'd take a tie.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

I don't like either team but just for the fact that the Eagles haven't lost yet...I'll take them.

I'd hate to rely on a division rival for my fantasy team. I try not to get any Cowboys or Eagles on my teams. I do have Stallworth on one team (had him before the trade) and Julius Jones will ride the pine on one of my teams unless someone wants him in a trade.

I do have Tiki Barber too, but I like him (as a person and player) despite being on the Giants.

I could NEVER root for a Cowboy, for ANY reason.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

well, we need to beat the cowboys, and have the Giants win, so that there's a 3 way tie for first at 1-1...

this should be a good game, with the Giants coming of a game they could have won, and the Eagles looking like they did Pre-TO. I'll take the Eagles at home though...

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

Yeah, but McNabb has been money the last 3 years (even last year he put up serious points in the games he played). Plus, it's fantasy - you take what you can get, not who you like.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

Going 2 down to a division foe could be tough with a Eagles win and a Skins loss. I am pulling for the Gmen so things are even up with a win/win and only a game back with a loss.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

Yup, I want the Giants to win too. Not only that, I hate them substantially less than I hate the Cowboys or Eagles.

I agree with that - I despise the Egirls [B]far[/B] more than any other team out there. Actually, I despise Egirls [B]fans[/B] far more than any others, but I despise the Cowgirls [B]team[/B] the most.

That said, I will reiterate that McNabb needs 300+ yards and 2+ TDs in the loss.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

In my fantasy, we beat the cow-not-quite-men, 79-0, and a meteor hits the stadium during the e-girls, g-nomes game.

That sums up my take on the game. Pretty much a no-brainer to me.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

tmc, right on the money as usual. all redskin fans should be cheering for the giants this weekend. the eagles have a very soft schedule and could go 5-1 if they win this game

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

We don't want any part of the Eagles getting on a roll, no matter how soft the schedule gets. Our team is 100% proof of how you can dominate when you get on a roll. It all started with the Rams and snowballed from there. The same thing happens with any team, and that's what momentum is all about.

Speaking of momentum, it's time to start building some Sunday night.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

I'd like to see the Giants take this one to even things out in our division but I give Philly the home field advantage.

I agree, Id rather have a 3 way tie in the NFC East at 1-1 (with the Cowboys at 0-2 of course!) than the $#&%ing Eagles sitting on top at 2-0...

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

if we're 1-1 and the eagles are 1-1, that means we could get on top in week 3. so i'd rather the gnomes win, even though i've picked against them.

Are they playing this week?

I really hate the Eagles and need them to lose. I've seen the Skins play the Eagles several times in Philly and I've never almost not gotten into a fight. God I hate the Eagles!

Wouldn't that mean the Skins would have to win a game first ?:goodjob:

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

i just dont know who to pull for in this one. Cant support either team honestly...but leaning towards g-men for one single reason...the beagles schedule is alot easier than everyone else in the divison...so with that being said go giants? LOL

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

I want the Eagles to lose, I think they are the better team. Giants IMO are overrated and wont repeat what they did last year.

Damn - I should start handicapping this stuff!

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

Well, at 24-7, I texted my Eagles fan friend and wrote, "MY football season is over." Let that be a lesson to you boys and girls, the game is 60 minutes long, not 59. The Eagles handed us the game. Going ultra-conservative at 24-7 was the start. It was the same thing they did last week, but the Giants are a much better team than the Texans. Aside from that, the Plaxico fumble-TD, the Westbrook fumble, going for it on 4th down in the 4th quarter, that idiot Trent Coles personal foul for kicking Kareem MacKenzie.

Happy about the win, very pi$$ed at the D, the def coordinator, and the OLine. I am thinking of taking off work and driving out to the Meadowlands to see if they'll give me a try-out.

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

yeah coggs, im not sure who's offensive line is worse, the skins or the giants? but at least you guys score once in a while

Ya know I read my post and it sounds like I was being a smart ass,I apologize I really wasn't trying to take a shot .The East is such a tuff divison there is only gonna be a 2 game seperation from 1st to last IMHO .Gibbs has been there before once he makes adjustments he's gold!:food-smil

Re: Eagles or Giants?
 

Okay, I'm kinda of sensitive today. So I'll take back two of the dings?
