If they had better play calling in the redzone, the score wouldn't have been nearly as close.

Yeah, I'm usually their worst critic when they play like #### and win, which they did in the first two games, but they still played better than the Ravens and Browns in those two games. And I think they outclassed the Giants tonight.

They definitely need to be better, but it is week 4 so there is a good amount of time for them to find their stride. They have the tools to be a very good team.

You can't be hating on Castilla and his defence this year. Really once they swapped some line backers out last year that unit did improve a lot. Right now the Eagles could be winless if that defence hadn't played as well as it has.

They should have tried to gain some more yards with 15 seconds left on third down. Even if everyone is covered, it still gave Manning plenty of time to throw the ball out of bounds. That's a much better option in my mind then going for a 54 yarder, especially after Coughlin had just seen Tynes miss the field goal on the Reid timeout.

I think it is a bit unfair to say despite Vick turnovers considering he is a big part of the team and a big problem they have.

He was a big part of why they won tonight. If he plays like that going forward, they'll be fine.

What a horrible start to the day as Chuck Pagano has Lukemia (a treatable form). I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery.

On play and talent they should be 0-4.
On talent?

I think you can make your case for play, but not talent. Both sides of the ball they're top 5 in the NFL easily.

Thankfully it is a treatable form. Still horrible news though. OC Bruce Arians will be in the interim head coach, Pagano is expected to be back in 6 weeks.

Not sure why the Giants wernt running it at the 44 instead of trying a pass. Seems like a very odd thing unless you have 0 confidence in your kicker.
