Touch Down

If things looked bad for the Eagles on TV, they were even worse at the stadium.  They just looked terrible in the first half.  Now that’s not bad being they are a NFC East division foe, but when you have McNabb (aka “throw too low”) and LJ Smith on your fantasy football team, you can’t help for a little offense.  They almost made it a game, but that INT as Philly was moving in for a possible tying TD or mayabe a FG really cost them the game….and for some reason also caused it to rain.  So I got the best of both, some points from Philly and a win from Denver.

36-0 in a Giants/Redskins game? Typically these teams mean a 13-10 type of score IF their offenses are clicking, 6-3 if they are not, but 36 points…..well done.

Here is an interesting clip from espn.com—Giants’ fans knew Pierce would be a good asset, but here was a bonus

“The opening play, Barber revealed, came off a suggestion by middle linebacker Antonio Pierce, who defected from the Redskins after a standout 2004 season to sign with the Giants as an unrestricted free agent. Pierce told the coaches that the Redskins’ defense likes to choose five frequently-run plays it feels the opposition will start the game with, and will over-defend them. The run by Barber, on which he got solid downfield blocks from his wide receivers, was one the Giants had not used much in 2005.”

Giants/Redskins, easy…Giants

Eagles/Denver…hummm, Denver is my adopted team by location so I should route for them.  The Eagles are from the NFC East which I prefer of the AFC, BUT an Eagles lost is good for the Giants.

Best case scenario: Giants and Denver win.
