ok... it is Sun about an hour after the Giants defeated the Eagles... the analyists all say Eli bounced back, and I suppose statistically he did... and the Giants did win... but... my view is that this Giants team isn't dominating and is going to struggle against the Cowboys... clearly the Cowboy game looms large... Giants barely defeat Eagles - imagine if McMahon and TO played
Avoiding key injuries will be key - Tabor is a big loss - William Joseph too (although not sure anyone notices) ... for a moment during Eagle game it appeared Strahan had reinjured his pectoral - then Tiki went gimp - turns out both returned - but center O'Hara did go down - at least there is a good backup in Jason Whittle - and Pettigut knocked out of game too and his potential loss is even more serious than O'Hara since his replacement is 34 yo Bob Whitfield who is both too old & too slow...
The secondary was exposed - perhaps it was exposed by the lack of a pass rush in the second half (the secondary has been ok past 3 games because of the healhy pass rush that was missing today)... and the offense should be dominating but instead struggles... the only consolation is that this team has the potential to break out at any moment... and it is always a good sign when a team plays poorly and wins...
Ok, so where does that leave my predictions for the balance of the season? ... here goes... loss to Seattle... loss to Cowboys... win over Eagles... win over KC... win over Redskins... loss to Raiders - final record 10-6 good enough for wildcard
