The Giants, FedEx and New York Cares will host their 18th annual Coat Drive this Sunday, when the Giants host the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. Fans are encouraged to bring new or gently worn coats to any of the FedEx trucks or volunteers located at each stadium entrance.
The Eagles are firing on all cylinders right now and following the Cowboys lopsided loss to the New Orleans Saints are poised to make a run at the NFC East.
A week after tying the NFL record by passing for seven touchdown passes, quarterback Nick Foles threw for three long scores and the Birds (5-5) came out of Green Bay with a a 27-13 victory Sunday over the injury-plagued Green Bay Packers (5-4)
For Jim Cordle , his 2013 season has paralleled that of his team’s. The Giants got off to a forgettable start only to somehow find a way to win three straight games and keep their faint playoff hopes alive.
Eagles head coach Chip Kelly talks on Wednesday at the Nova Care Center and says he will keep DeSean Jackson as his punt returner and Brandon Boykin in as kick returner. He also said Nick Foles is the starter in practice this week but stopped short of naming him as the starter for Sunday against Green Bay
Giants game at Lincoln Financial Field yesterday started about the way you would expect from a 3-4 team taking on a 1-6 team at the end of October.
Ugly, sloppy and filled with turnovers and mistakes.
The Eagles lost 15-7 to the lowly Giants for the 10th consecutive time at Lincoln Financial Field where the Birds are now 49-41 since the Linc opened in 2003.
“It’s a huge game for us, a huge game for them,” Pugh said. “I am going to probably have 20-30 people there that I know of. And now after this win everyone’s going to want more tickets…” Pugh is laughing now…”and if we win, everyone will say ‘well you won with me there, can I come again?’…but I’ll see everyone next week, it’s going to be a good one.”
Giants fans must be used to losing to the Eagles. The Birds have now won nine of their last 11 games against the Giants, including a 6-1 mark in their last seven games in New York.
When former Eagles head coach Andy Reid and his new team, the Kansas City Chiefs, beat the Cowboys 17-16, it was his 18th career win over Dallas. No coach in NFL history has defeated the Cowboys that many times. Obviously 17 of those wins were earned while he was running the Birds’ sideline. Reid coached the Eagles from 1999 to 2012 posting a 17-11 mark against the Cowboys during his days in the NFC East.
Head Coach Chip Kelly Press Conference 10.9.13 Q. How much work was Michael Vick able to get yesterday and today? CHIP KELLY: He got individual work yesterday. Threw the ball around a little bit. Did not get any team or seven‑on‑seven reps, and we’ll see how he feels as we get going in practice today. […]
Chip Kelly met with the home media Monday afternoon to talk about his team’s win over Giants and answer a few questions about who will play quarterback against Tampa Bay this Sunday. Mike Vick missed the second half of the game against the Giants with a hamstring strain and is day-to-day for Sunday’s matchup in Tampa Bay.
The Giants fell to 0-5 for the first time since 1987, when replacement players were responsible for three of those defeats, and the first time in a non-strike season since 1979. From 1990-2012, 48 teams started 0-5. None of them made the playoffs.
