Eagles-Giants 5 Things: A Must-win Game Already?

Eagles-Giants 5 Things: A Must-win Game Already? Eagles-Giants 5 Things: A Must-win Game Already? It's been an unpleasant week for the Eagles, yet the show must go on. They make a beeline for the Meadowlands to reestablish their division contention with the Giants in a urgent matchup of 4-3 clubs. Things haven't enhanced much for the Eagles since blowing a 10-point final quarter lead in Dallas on Sunday. Days after Josh Huff was captured and discharged by the club, you need to ponder where everyone's heads are at this moment. That is not a decent sign considering what may remain in a precarious situation this week. Must-win amusement? Birds head mentor Doug Pederson called this an "absolute necessity win diversion," which usually may sound senseless in Week 9 of the NFL season. On the other hand, one take a gander at how conceivably harming a misfortune would be for their playoff trusts may make you rethink. With misfortunes to Washington and Dallas effectively, dropping yet another division amusement would drop the Eagles to 0-3 in the NFC East standings. Seeing as every one of the four groups have winning records right now, and the Cowboys sitting beautiful at 6-1, tumbling to the Giants would pulverize. Difficult, no, however the Eagles would require a great deal of assistance from their opponents — basically a fall. A triumph keeps them in the chase at any rate, keeping in mind it may be somewhat untimely to begin thinking playoffs, this is one they likely need to keep that fantasy alive. Falcons claim the Giants In the event that there is any comfort to take in the thought of an absolute necessity win against the Giants at MetLife Stadium, it's that the Eagles have done astoundingly well both against their divisional enemy and in that specific building. Since the new stadium opened in East Rutherford, New Jersey in 2010, the Eagles were crushed only one time in seven tries, incorporating tilts with the Jets, who share the office. That solitary misfortune went to the Giants in 2012, by a last of 42-7. The Eagles have been prevailing against the Giants when all is said in done as of late, with a 13-4 record going back to 2008. They've likewise won five of the last six, including four straight Obviously, these patterns are inclined to invert whenever as we saw a week ago in Dallas, where the Eagles had been exceptionally fruitful, especially in primetime recreations. It may resemble a home far from home, yet in all actuality, these records tend to mean practically nothing. Victor's arrival Welcome back to the contention, Victor Cruz. The seventh-year veteran hasn't showed up in an amusement against the Eagles since October 2014 after wounds abbreviated his season and wiped out the greater part of his 2015 battle. Now that he's back, that may very well be the start the Giants need to invert their fortunes in this arrangement. Cruz has been an Eagles executioner previously. His 36 vocation gets for 549 yards and five touchdowns in seven amusements are the most he has versus any group. Obviously, his initial four times against the Eagles were his best, representing 22 of those gets, 399 yards and four touchdowns. Is Cruz even a similar player that went to a Pro Bowl in 2012? Possibly not, but rather he's as yet demonstrating gainful with 24 gets, 331 yards and a touchdown. Odell Beckham Jr. may be the man in enormous blue now, however Cruz is the person who dependably appeared to explode against the Eagles. Wentz's relapse It wouldn't be reasonable for lay the fault for the Eagles' abruptly unremarkable flying assault at the feet of Carson Wentz, however there's no denying the offense has relapsed here. You could likely tell that just from viewing, however the insights don't paint any prettier of a photo. In the wake of posting some record-shattering numbers for a new kid on the block quarterback, Wentz all of a sudden leads a passing diversion that positions among the most noticeably awful in the NFL. The Eagles are 29th in the class, tossing for a normal of 208.3 yards for every week. The main offenses that are more regrettable are Houston, Buffalo and San Francisco. In the interim, the Giants resistance is fourth as far as yards per pass endeavor permitted at 6.3, so dislike Wentz is relied upon to go in a simply toss all over of this group. Tantamount to the No. 2 general pick might be, he is not driving a productive offense at this moment.
