New York Giants – Philadelphia Eagles Clash in NFC East Showdown
When the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants meet twice every year the records get thrown out and gloves are off. That works for the Eagles who enter this game with a 3-6 record, multiple key injuries and plenty of baggage.
Michael Vick suffered cracked ribs in his game against the Arizona Cardinals but his injury was not the only one Andy Reid concerned himself with this week. Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson are also struggling with injuries and they both may miss this game.
If Vince Young gets the start as everyone anticipates, it is a good thing for the Eagles who are on the verge of elimination from the NFL playoffs. The Eagles will ride their thoroughbred in this game. LeSean McCoy has been the first half MVP on this team and he will be the X-Factor against the Giants defense.
Speaking of the Giants defense, they will need to come back from a disappointing performance against the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants front line has played inconsistent this year but when they are on they can force a rusty quarterback like Young to make mistakes.
Look for the Giants to pressure Young early and often in this game with safety blitzes and linebackers moving up on the line. Young will see eight defenders in the box on most snaps until he proves he can heave the ball down field.
What about Eli Manning and the Giants offense? Manning has quietly become a top ten quarterback in the NFL. Many teams around the league now take him seriously when they game plan for games against he Giants. Manning will be the man who wins this game for Giants.
