Game Notes:
"The Giants were 2-0 against the NFC East teams and really needed to win this one to stay ahead of the pack. Unfortunately they didn't perform even up to the most hopeful fans expectations. Without a Plaxico Burress on the team and with Philadelphia blitzing as much as they tend to do, it was up to Steve Smith, Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks to get open in coverage before the pocket collapsed on Eli Manning and he either scrambled or turned to mulch. Steve Smith did it the best and it was surprising that even with the Eagles keying in on him, he was still making catches late in the game.
Kevin Boss came up with the most receiving yards on just 3 catches and he caught the only touchdown pass that Manning had in this game. For the record, Eli scrambled (3 runs) more than he was mulched (2 sacks) and he picked up 34 yards running 3 times. Ahmad Bradshaw only gained 21 yards on his 9 carries. The only good news is that the Eagles, who by the way are undefeated in the division, host the Cowboys next week. So you can expect a loss to go somewhere good."

Game Notes:
"Well the Eagles were without Brian Westbrook this game, but no problem. Within the first minute and a half they were up 7-0. Before four minutes the score was 13-0 thanks to a blocked extra point attempt. Normally with the way things go between these two teams that block attempt could have been an ominous sign for the Eagles but not today. You knew everything was going their way when Justin Tuck knocked a Donovan McNabb pass up in the air and it was McNabb who got it back into his hands and ran it for a one yard gain.
You knew it was probably over when Domenik Hixon fumbled the second-half kickoff back into the Eagles hands and the score quickly became 33-7. The Giants were hardly playing a crisp game here. With three losses in a row, a losing streak becomes a slump, and that's very uncharacteristic of how the Giants have played under Tom Coughlin in recent years. The way the team played today, this is going to be a tough week for everyone, the coaches calling plays and the players, preparing for the Chargers while staring at the possibility of losing four in a row going into the bye week."

Eagles wins this season have all been by double-digit margins.

Eagles remain undefeated in the division.
