Well, as I previously posted, if there was one team the Giants should have been fearful about having to face in the post season, it would have been the Philadelphia Eagles.  The Giants and Eagles met today at Giants Stadium in a 1 pm show down in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.

 The Giants were handed a stunning defeat by the score of 23 - 11.  The game started off on a good note for the Giants, with Bradshaw’s 65 yard kick off return, and went down hill from there.  The Giants never really seemed able to get their offense going consistantly all day.  It was more like a stop and start all day.  One big play, followed by a foul up.  In the end, the Giants only managed to score 3 field goals, blew 2 more attempts, and their defense put up points with a safety.

The big question was, which Eli Manning was going to show up.  Was it going to be the Eli, who led the Giants to the Super Bowl last post season, and got the team off to a 11 and 1 start?  Or would it be the “shrug your shoulders, hang your head, and pout when things don’t go your way” Eli from basically before last season.  Well, it was the later that showed up.

Giants fans can at least take some satisfaction that the Eagles will probably go to the Super Bowl, so at least today’s game was more like the NFC Championship showdown.

That’s my 2 cents… I’d love to hear yours!
