Giants come to Philly with losing streak
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
The Giants will come to Philadelphia next week on a two-game losing streak.
New York did not look good Sunday night, falling to the Cardinals, 24-17, at the Meadowlands.
The Giants turned it over four times, including three Eli Manning interceptions. After a hot start, Manning has completed less than 49 percent of his passes with two TDs and four interceptions in the last two weeks.
Down a touchdown, the Giants were driving with just over a minute left in the game when Manning was picked off by Antrel Rolle at the Cardinals' 21-yard line.
Earlier in the quarter, running back Ahmad Bradshaw fumbled in Arizona territory.
Overall, it was a sloppy performance for the Giants, who were also whistled for seven penalties.
Combine New York's loss with the Cowboys' win over the Falcons, and the landscape in the NFC East has changed. The Giants are still atop the division at 5-2, but Dallas is right behind them (4-2). With a win Monday against the Redskins, the Eagles would be tied with the Cowboys.
And so we're approaching that time of year when things start to get fun. Starting in Washington, the Birds begin a stretch of three straight against NFC East opponents.
Meanwhile, things do not get any easier for the Giants. Check out this stretch: at the Eagles, Chargers, Falcons, at the Broncos, Cowboys, Eagles.
But first things first. We'll be live chatting Monday night's Eagles-Redskins game. And in case you missed it, we did our weekly feature looking at who's picking the Eagles earlier this evening.
Good stuff...even tho we lost to oak everything can be resolved if we win these next three...and i got a feeling mac 5 will lead us to victory....haters are out in full force right now though on this site smh— The Blueprint- lonewolf lives in his mom's basement— mrgoeagles
- The NFC East is going to have a monster schedule coming up. It won't be easy for anyone.— trungy
Comment removed.- Let's table this discussion until we beat Redskins tonight, otherwise the division is a two-team race not including the Eagles. Jets murdered Raiders yesterday week after Sanchez threw five picks so Birds better hope they just sleptwalked last week— davi

- Get us a 'W' tonight Eagles!!!!! Start the NFC East slate off right!!!!— wondo40
- Haha- love how lonewolf just can't admit that Eli is not a great QB. He's decent, in that Trent Dilfer sort of way.— libertyof76
- Giants game is revenge for getting the raiders amped up to play us. We win tonight, then beat the Giants like its a scrimmage, then we're in the NFC East driver's seat.— dragoon6
Wow! How lame can you get wiff? I see that a number of the faithful have already called you out so no need for me to pile on but WOW again. Recovering from a hangnail is no excuse. According to you DM has a bad game it's because of him, not the pass rush or injury but your girlfriend has a bad game and it's injury when the reality is the rush made him throw the ball up for grabs like in the December game. Thanks though, nothing like a good chuckle on a Monday morning, wiffocrite. BTW, you really need to get that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder about DM under control or do we have to start calling you Monkwolf? I see you are now imitating my hahahahahahaha. Thanks for the complement.— tpizza- Comment removed.

- Agree completely 499. If Reid is going to use small backs all the more reason to use the FB to clear the way. From the little he has used Weaver it looks like he usually makes positive plays and why sign the guy for a year and NOT use him? Just another reason to be frustrated with AR. BTW, the wiffster IS funny, isn't he? One of his idols has a bad day and he can't play the excuse card fast enough but DM and the whole Eagle team spit the bit and it's all DM's fault. What a joke, no cred at all. Seed's point about losing to a SB team is well taken too. Good point by him.— tpizza

Less than 49% completion pct (avg) for consecutive weeks, 4 picks to 2 TDs? Eli must be benched. The future is now. Giants MUST sign Kolb immediately!!! Bwaaah haa haa haa...lonebarf...my man (or whatever you are) So, if there's no shame in losing to a SB team, McNabb is your new hero?— Mabus
