Featured Game Week 11 - New York Giants At
Philadelphia Eagles
|
Philadelphia comes into this game
as the hottest team in football. The question is can the Giants
come up with a game plan to stop Michael Vick. The way Vick is
playing it seems nobody can stop him. We will see tonight, the
winner of this takes control of the division. |

So far the Giants have appeared to be better able to contain
Vick than the Redskins last week. However the Giants offense has
not been able to do anything the first 2 times they got the
ball. The second time the Eagles got the ball they went on a 7
minute touchdown drive, that gave them 50 big PossessionPoints
to start. |

The Giants had a long time consuming drive of their own, it
ended in a field goal but still totaled 32 PossessionPoints. The
way this game is going it looks like a big mistake or two could
determine who wins this game. |

The Giants were the first to make a mistake, they fumbled the
ball on their own 20. The Giant defense did force the Eagles to
go 3 and out, but the out was a field goal. So the Eagles tack
on a few more PossessionPoints with their 1 minute 18 second
"drive". |

Well, the Giants made the second mistake of the game with an
interception deep in their own territory. The Giants have to
consider themselves lucky to only be down 10 points. |

A lot of times having drives end in field goals is a bad thing.
But when you are chewing up 7 and 8 minutes like the Eagles are
tonight it isn't all bad as PossessionPoints now indicates. The
Eagles now have a green 103 even though most of their scoring
drives have been field goal drives. |

Well, the Giant offense finally go on track, with the help of a
big 31 yard pass interference call. It was a no doubt call so it
isn't like the TD was undeserved. They took 6 minutes to score
and now have 88 PossessionPoints. This is an interesting game
now. |

We said a few frames earlier that mistakes might be the
difference in the game and the Giants then went on to make two
of them. Well the Eagles just made one, Vick was sacked and
fumbled for his first turnover of the season. The Giants took 40
seconds to convert that to a go ahead TD. This is by no means
over because the Eagles have dominated this game so far. |

Game of inches, the Giants jump offsides on a 3rd and 6, the
Eagles go on 4th and one, bobble the snap, make a pitch to McCoy
and he runs 50 yards for the go ahead TD. |

Well, Vick was nowhere near as dominant as he was against the
Redskins but the Giants made too many mistakes to win. The
Eagles ended with a score that matched their overall dominance
in this game. |
