In the first half of a high-stakes football-baseball doubleheader in Philly, the Eagles are all over the Giants.
It's 13-0 with fewer than four minutes gone in the game.
The first score came on a 41-yard run (we think he was running) by fullback Leonard Weaver.
Then, the man who dropped an interception that would have sealed a Super Bowl win and a 19-0 season for the Patriots in 2007 with a pickoff of Eli Manning didn't drop the ball this time around, making the pick and returning it inside the ten.
Three plays later, Donovan McNabb found Brent Celek down the middle for a touchdown pass. The extra point was blocked, by the damage already is done.
Eagles all over the Giants early

Florio your precious Giants!!!!!!!
Fun Fact - Eagles are 22-2 when Asante makes an INT
:D
I wonder if the Giants feel like they are playing a scrimmage!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
30-7 at the half.......
Can you hear that? That's the sound of the power changing in the NFC East.
Fly, Eagles, Fly! Damn I didn't expect this! Eagles- Giants game are always close, but this is a total ass whooping
Noodle arm Manning to the rescue...
just like i said last week, eagles roll over the giants this week
A FORTY BURGER !
remember that time the giants got fucked up by the eagles in week 8? yeah that was some game
wow. after an incredible game in which the Eagles made the Giants look like a scrimmage team, Florio decides that 1 post about this game will suffice. at 4 minutes into the game.
And yet, there are quite possible 10 posts about the packers-vikings game.
what a hack.
That's fine! We Philly fans have YET ANOTHER big game to watch tonight!!
I can't wait to see Rom-O-Choke next week! Our Defense will be waiting! Was the trade for Witherspoon a gem or what!! I like this guy!
Well, it is proved yet again that the Eagles are MUCH better than the Giants and McNabb is much better than Eli.
I cannot wait to hear the excuses. Osi was there and the defense was rebuilt. They looked so damn slow. I am not sure how it played on tv but from the stands you could see Leonard Weaver running away from their linebackers and d-backs. Leonard Weaver! A Fullback!!! Man, they are slow.
Haha Marc F you know if the Giants had won this game Florio would have like 9 posts about great the Giants are, about how the Giants are back etc etc etc.
I've been saying it for how long, since like Week 2 - the Giants are overrated, they don't matchup well against the Eagles (injuries or no injuries). Bring on Tony Ohno and the terrible Dallas secondary.
And I told you I could hear it already .."and it is INTERCEPTED BY ASANTE SAMUEL". Oh and apparently Diehl is allowed to do blatent holds on Trent Cole all day long; I just hope Cole isn't injured next week when Falsestart Adams starts tripping him since he has no chance of blocking the Beast that is Trent Cole.
Prediction - Florio still takes a jab at the Eagles in his Power Rankings on Tuesday.
WOW! AMAZING HOW MUCH LACK OF COVERAGE THERE IS WHEN THE G-MEN STINK IT UP!
3 STRAIGHT LOSSES!? WTF OVER? IT'S NOT JUST THE DEFENSE, ELI MANNING IS PLAYING LIKE HE IS A BUST!
WHERE IS ALL THE ROMO IS A BUST TALK AND ELI IS THE SECOND COMING OF PEYTON NOW?!
SHOW SOME CLASS AND BE A FAIR AND UN-BIASED WEBSITE - HAD THE GMEN BEEN THE COWBOYS,
YOU GUYS WOULD BE ALL OVER IT LIKE RABID DOGS! AND YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE...
dezertdweller....EXACTLY! Florio is such a Gaymen homer its pathetic.
Smush, you're right, i had the pleasure of watching their D on TV and in person. They need to calm down with the pierce loyalty, he is a mutt, he has been slow for the last 3 seasons but now he is taking it to a whole new level. CC brown has new business being in the NFL and they did a horrid job at wrapping guys up. They have 4 starters out on D and no one is getting more abused than brown is replaced phillips after he went down for the yr. There hasnt been one mention of that until finally yesterday Johnston said something. Mike boley is their best LB and fastest, but w pierce in the mix, it really doesnt make a diff. As a giant fan it frustrates me bc people still think he's good, and he is garbage. You guys knew all the weak points and executed, the quick drives attacking where the coverage was lacking. Anyone on this post could have made samuels pick. Travis Beckum comes out for one play a game, that dumb route, as soon as he got out there you guys knew it was coming and jumped the route. atrocious play calling and you guys capitalized. Years past that would have ruined my day, it did until 8pm, id trade in a ws win for a regular season win any day of the week, our next game vs you guys i dont have that luxury.
