Week 14 Eagles @ Giants Live Blog, 2nd Half

It's official. If the Eagles hang on to win this I am storming down the hall scraming "Go Eagles!" and shouting profanity that shall not be named here to the Giant fans. God, they're obnoxious.

Does Tony Siragusa know what it's like to stand still? Good lord, I feel like I'm watching the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Demps on the return takes it to the 30. Curtis will not return. Westbrook picks up a couple on 1st down. 2nd and 8, McNabb has it knocked away by Dockery. 3rd and 8, McNabb throws for Jason Avant who gets the first down and bent over like a pretzel. Damn, thank goodness he got right back up. Westbrook takes it to the 45 and picks up 4. 2nd and 6, McNabb from the shotgun fires incomplete. 3rd and 6, McNabb will scramble and pick up the first down with his legs! That's McNabb's biggest weapon right there, his legs.

McNabb throws incomplete to Lewis. 2nd and 10, McNabb fires to Baskett who makes the catch for 9, FUMBLES THE BALL!, but it lands out of bound and no harm is done. 3rd and 1, and McNabb on the keeper picks up the first. McNabb hands to Westbrook and he takes it to the Giant 32. 2nd and 8, McNabb to throw to Westbrook who picks up a first down with a pick up of 9. Flag down, but it's on the Giants. 1st and 10 from the 22 and Westbrook picks up 3.

2nd and 7, McNabb finds Smith for a gain of 4. 3rd and 3 and I'm loving this drive from the Eagles. What blocked field goal momentum?

3rd and 3, McNabb fires incomplete for Smith. And it's 4th down and on will come Akers. Akers, from 34-yards out, IT'S BLOCKED AGAIN! THREE BLOCKED FIELD GOALS IN THIS GAME, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? The ball went under the upright the Giants will take over at the 27.

Jacobs picks up 4 on 1st down. Jacobs on 2nd down gets a first down and Jacobs was limping before collapsing onto the field.

3rd and inches and Ward picks up the 1st down. 1st and 1o from the NYG 37, Ward tries to bounce it to the outside and gets stuffed at the line. 2nd and 9, and Ward gets 6 before being upended.

Update: Detroit 13, Minnesota 10

3rd and 3 for the Giants and Manning fires one deep and it's caught....by the waterboy on the sidelines. 4th and 3 and Jackson fair-catches the punt at the 14.
1st and 10 and Westbrook gets 7 on the carry. Why is the BCS computer at Giants Stadium? Westbrook picks up a first down by an inch. 1st and 10, McNabb hands to Westbrook who gets 3. Westbrook gets 6 on 2nd down and it's the ever-dreaded 3rd and 1 for the Eagles. McNabb hands it to Kyle Eckel who gets an Eagles first down! Gain of a couple. And the Eagles have actually converted their last 3rd and short rushing attempts!

1st down and Westbrook gets no gain. 2nd and 10 and McNabb fires complete to Hank Baskett for 6. Kendra's happy! 3rd and 4, McNabb fires over the middle by Westbrook for a first down. A personal foul face-mask by the Giants will give the Eagles 15 more yards.

That's the end of the 3rd quarter and the Eagles are dominating the clock, leading the Giants 10-7.

1st and 10 from the New York 39 and he gets 3. Brian Westbrook has officially outgained the entire Giants team this game. 2nd and 7, and McNabb stumbles and is sacked for a loss of 4. 3rd and 11, McNabb fires for WESTBROOK WHO MAKES THE CATCH AND WILL GO UNTOUCHED INTO THE ENDZONE! TOUCHDOWN EAGLES! The extra point is good and the Eagles now lead the Giants 17-7.

HELLZ YEAH!

Update: Atlanta 17, Nawlins 16

Damn. Akers booms the kick into the endzone where it's kneeled for the touchback. Giants ball at the 20.

More updates
Green Bay 14, Houston 13
Detroit 13, Minnesota 10
Chicago 20, Jacksonville 3

Jacobs gets the carry and picks up 5. 2nd and 5, Bradshaw gets 4 but there's a penalty flag down. Holding on the Eagles and that will give the Giants a first down. 1st and 10, Manning fires deep and it's NEARLY INTERCEPTED BY ASANTE SAMUEL! Oh man, there wasn't a blue jersey in sight. Bradshaw gets a couple.

Update: New Orleans 22, Atlanta 17.

Manning on 3rd down fires over the middle for Hixon who gets 17 and a Giant first down! 1st and 10, Bradshaw is wrapped up in the backfield for a loss. 2nd and 13, Manning fires incomplete, looking for Toomer. 3rd and13. Manning gets it off for Steve Smith who makes the catch and breaks free, only to be stopped a yard short of the marker. Let's see what the Giants do here from the Eagle 37. They're going for it! Manning, under pressure! Gets it off, but it's INCOMPLETE! Eagles take over on downs! Another great defensive stop by the Philadelphia Eagles!

Update: Minnesota 17, Detroit 13 with 8:32 left.

1st down and Westbrook explodes up the middle for a gain of 13 into Giant territory! 1st and 10, McNabb hands to Westbrook for 5.

Update: Houston 21, Green Bay 14 with 10:05 left.

Westbrook gets nothing on 2nd down and it's 3rd and 5. McNabb fakes to Westbrook, rolls out right, and finds L.J. Smith for another Eagles 1st down! The Eagles are 9 for 14 today on 4th down, unbelieveable! Gain of 3 on 1st down.

Update: Atlanta 25, New Orleans 22

Damn. No gain on 2nd down it's now 3rd and 5. McNabb scrambles and he will pick up another 1st down! The Eagles have converted 11 of their last 12 3rd downs! Incredible!

Awww, McNabb's wife just gave birth to twins. Congrats to Donny Mac and his family! 2nd and 9 after a minimal 1st down gain by Westbrook and this one will go for 3 by Westbrook. Timeout New York. 3rd and 5, McNabb hands to Westbrook who gets yet another first down! 3:30 to go and this is a clinic right now. From the NYG 16, Westbrook gets a couple. Timeout New York.

Update: Minnesota 17, Detroit 16 with 5:44 left.

2nd and 8, Westbrook gets swallowed in the backfield for a loss of a couple. Timeout New York, that's their last. 3rd and 10, Westbrook gets the carry for only a couple. The Eagles will take this clock all the way down and take a timeout with 2:14 to before sending out David Akers.

From 34 yards out, IT'S UP....AND GOOD! 20-7 Eagles.

2:09 left and the Giants are out of timeouts down by 13. Moss on the kickoff return takes it to the 29.

Update: New Orleans 29, Atlanta 25 with 3:58 left.

Yay! Manning ocmpletes to Ward for a couple and that's the 2-minute warning.

"Disappointing afternoon after the New York Giants..."- Kenny Albert

And what about the fantastic afternoon for the Eagles, asswipe. 2nd and 8 and Manning finds Smith at midfield for the first down. Manning to Toomer and that gets 8. 1:25 to go. Manning from the shot gun, rolls out and finds Toomer who takes it all the way to the Eagle 25. 58 seconds left. Manning to Smith for a first down at the 14. And why are the Eagles in a prevent defense? Manning fires incomplete, but there's a penalty down. Illegal touching on the Giants. 1st and 15 from the 19, Manning fires incomplete but there are penalties galore.

Offsides and defensive pass interference. 1st and goal for the Giants at the 2 with 20 seconds left. Manning throws to the endzone for DARCY JOHNSON WHO MAKES THE CATCH IN THE ENDZONE! TOUCHDOWN GIANTS! The extra point is good and it's 20-14 Eagles.

Here comes the onside kick. LOOSE BALL! RECOVERED BY SHELDON BROWN! AND THAT'S IT! THE EAGLES GO INTO NEW YORK AND UPSET THE GIANTS! E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

McNabb takes a knee and this one is history. The Eagles beat the Giants 20-14! Thank you for joining me for this live blog. Hopefully you'll join me tomorrow as I live blog my last Monday night game of the year.

Update: The Saints beat the Falcons 29-25!

  2. Dallas is really happy now, your Eagles just let the Cowboys get back in the division race.

  3. But the Eagles are still in the playoff race if they hang on to win. The Eagles will deal with Dallas in Week 17.

  4. And Gus Ferotten is out of the Lying Downs' game with an injury.

  5. Discard what I just said, a Cowboys loss means the Giants clinch anyway.


    Big win for the Iggles though, be there next week when I live blog Browns/Eagles.
