Eagles survive an ugly game vs. Giants | Eagles Postgame Live

>> THAT IS WHAT THEY CALL IT. LET’S BEGIN WITH THE POSITIVE. ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL. LET’S BEGIN WITH THE GOOD NEWS. THE EAGLES DEFEATING THE NEW YORK GIANTS. THEY NOW HAVE A RECORD OF 11-4 WITH TWO GAMES REMAINING.

NEXT WEEK THEY CAN CLINCH THE NFC EAST WITH A WIN OVER ARIZONA AND THE COWBOYS LOST TO DETROIT. DID THEY PLAY THE WAY THAT WE HOPED? AT TIMES. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS THE PLACE WHERE THEY WERE NOT THINKING. THE 69 YARD PASS.

YOU WOULD’VE THOUGHT THE EAGLES WERE PLAYING, AS WE WATCH JALEN HURTS WALK-OFFS, THEY WERE PLAYING A MUCH BETTER TEAM THAN THE NEW YORK GIANTS. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE DOWN LIKE THAT. THE EAGLES STILL HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS BUT THEY ARE POISED TO

WIN THE DIVISION ONE WEEK FROM NOW OR BY THE END OF THE SEASON , DEPENDING ON DALLAS. WE ARE REMINDING YOU WE DO HAVE JALEN HURTS AND WE WILL HEAR FROM JASON KELSEY. THIS WAS AN INTERESTING GAME. WE THOUGHT THE GIANTS OULD BE

THUMPED BY THE EAGLES. THOUGHTS AS WE WATCH THE WINNERS COME OFF THE FIELD?>> 11-4. IN THE PLAYOFFS. WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GET BETTER. WE WON. >> THEY DID NOT PLAY THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE PLAYING. THE TIGHT AND SLIPS. THEY

SHOULD’VE PUT THIS TEAM AWAY. GOING BACK TO OPENING DAY, THE INABILITY TO PUT TEAMS AWAY, THE GIANTS ARE NON-TEAM — YOU CANNOT DO THAT AND THEY KEEP DOING IT. >> MERRY CHRISTMAS. >> THIS WAS A NICE PRESENT TO US. THE GIANTS ARE AWFUL.

THAT IS A BUSINESS PRESENT. BUT HE SAID IT BEST. WE FOUND A WAY TO WIN. BUT WE ARE CAN GO TO SAN FRANCISCO AND WHEN. WE CAN ENJOY A TURKEY DINNER TOMORROW AND ENJOY THIS ONE. >> 14 POINTS ON TWO PLACE THAT

HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COACHING. THE TIGHT END >> YOU TAKE THOSE 15 POINTS AWAY AND IT’S AN EASY WIN. >> SLOPPY. FIND A WAY TO WIN, BUT SLOPPY. THEY HAVE TWO GAMES LEFT. >> WE HAVE TO PLAY BETTER. AND EACH WEEK THAT THEY DON’T

PUT A FULL 60 MINUTES TOGETHER, I WONDER IF THEY ARE CAPABLE OF DOING IT.>> DO THEY HAVE THE ABILITY? BECAUSE THIS IS THE SAME ROSTER WITH MORE PEOPLE COMING BACK. WE HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE COMING THAT CAN PLAY. >> THEY HAD NOT PLAYED A

COMPLETE GAME ALL YEAR. >> I THINK THEY WILL GET A WILDCARD. ON THE ROAD IT WILL BE TOUGH FOR THEM. >> LET ME WELCOME EVERYBODY TO EAGLES POSTGAME LIVE THE EAGLES WITH A BIG WIN BECAUSE ANY ONE IS BIG. THEY COULD CLINCH THE NFC EAST

NEXT WEEK. THE GIANTS HAVE TO HAVE CONFIDENCE. >> THEY WERE RIGHT THERE AND AT THE END THAT BALL IS CAUGHT IN THE ENSIGN AND WE ARE STILL PLAYING. >> WE BE AN AWFUL FOOTBALL TEAM. I HATE TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST,

BUT WE ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS BUT WE ARE NOT SUPER BOWL CONTENDERS. THOSE SAME PROBLEMS STILL PERSIST. >> I WAS VERY CONCERNED COMING INTO THIS GAME. >> I SAW A DIFFERENCE IN HOW THEY PLAYED THE LINEBACKERS. THEY WERE MORE AGGRESSIVE. THE

SECOND PLATE OF THE GAME, I SAW LINEBACKERS ATTACKING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. I THOUGHT IT WAS MORE AGGRESSIVE SECONDARY. I AM SEEING SOME IMPROVEMENT. I THINK THE DEFENSIVE LINE HAS TO PLAY BETTER. THEY HAVE TO PLAY BETTER. YOU ARE TO GET TYROD TAYLOR.

>> I AGREE WITH YOU. THEY HAD SOME CHANCES FOR SAXON DID NOT GET THEM. THAT IS THE STORY OF THE WHOLE YEAR. >> THEY ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS. I’M LOOKING FOR WHY THIS HAS PLAGUED THEM. THEY’VE CLINCHED THE NUMBER 3 SEED.

THEY NEED TO WIN. TO BE NUMBER TWO THEY NEED TWO WINS IN DETROIT DULUTH AT DALLAS. AND TO CLINCH NUMBER ONE, IT’S STILL POSSIBLE AND WE HAVE SEEN STRANGER THINGS HAPPENED. THEY NEED THOSE WINS AND THEY NEED THE LIONS TO LOSE.

AND THEN HOME AGAINST THE RAMS TO FINISH UP THE REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE. IT IS UNLIKELY BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. >> AFTER 2008, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. >> WHAT I DID NOT LIKE IS WHETHER IT WAS 15 POINTS OR A BAD SNAP, JALEN HURTS —

>> I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT. >> GIANTS GET A NEW SET OF DOWNS AND END UP WITH A FIELD GOAL. AND YOU TELL ME, A PATHETIC PLAY WITH REGARD TO THIS EAGLES TEAM TO START THE FIRST HALF. THE KICKOFF — THE SECOND HALF.

GETS BLOCKED AND THE GIANTS GET A TOUCHDOWN. COME ON. >> THAT HAPPENS. >> WE ARE 11-4. >> THAT IS THE EXPECTATION. THERE’S STILL A GOOD TEAM. WE ARE TALKING HONESTLY IF THEY CAN GET TO A SUPER BOWL, I DON’T SEE THAT.>> HOW MANY

TEAMS BESIDE THE GIANTS WITH THEY HAVE BEEN TODAY? >> WASHINGTON. >> CAROLINA. >> I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT I THOUGHT HE HAD A ROCK SOLID GAME. >> HE MADE A MISTAKE NOT GOING OUT OF BOUNDS, BUT THE THIRD AND 20 PLAY TO A.J.

BROWN, THAT WAS PHENOMENAL. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> I THOUGHT HE DID A GOOD JOB NOT FORCING THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD. HE TOOK A STEP UP AND DO NOT HAVE TO BREAK STRIDE. AND IT WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY. I THOUGHT HE PLAYED A ROCK SOLID GAME.

>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS MOST ENCOURAGING THING TO COME OUT OF THIS. AND IT WAS NOT PERFECT. BUT THAT IS THIRD AND 20. THEY JUST COMMITTED TWO PENALTIES. AND NOT KIND OF GAVE THEM SOME BREATHING ROOM. >> AND HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT BACK.

>> YOU SEE HOW DYNAMIC HE IS. HE IS A DYNAMIC PLAYER. AND IT’S AN ATTITUDE RUNNING THE BALL. THEY TOOK THE ATTITUDE AND RAN WITH IT.>> I LIKE THE COMBINATION OF THEM. I THINK IT’S TOUGHER TO DEFEND. THEY COME AT YOU DIFFERENTLY.

>> HOW SURPRISED WERE YOU THAT HE GOT ONE CARRY? >> ALL YEAR HE HAS BEEN THE THIRD AND HE’S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THAT. HE HAS BEEN A BACKUP FOR MILES SANDERS. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THE PRODUCTION THEY GOT.>> FOUR

POINTS 6 YARDS PER CARRY. AND 4.3 AND HE CARRIED THE BALL EIGHT TIMES. I THOUGHT THAT WAS FIVE TIMES TOO MANY. A FEW TIMES HE PUT HIMSELF IN HARMS WAY. >> IT HAS TO HAPPEN. IT IS WHAT MAKES THINGS RUN.

YOU GET HIM OUT AND HE WILL GET THREE CATCHES. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT 32 POINTS BY THE EAGLES OFFENSE, AND THEN THERE WAS A PICK 6 >> THE DEFENSE GAVE UP ONE BIG PLAY. I THOUGHT CONSIDERING WHO IS OUT THERE YOUR DOWN TO YOUR

FOURTH AND FIFTH LINEBACKERS. YOU HAVE RINGO AND SYDNEY BROWN AND YOU HAVE A LOT YOUNG KIDS. CONSIDERING EVERYTHING, I WILL TAKE IT. >> I WILL SAY THE FIRST — ALMOST A MONTH. TOMORROW IS ONE MONTH WHEN YOU POINTED OUT LIKE THAT AND YOU REALIZE —

>> THEY CANNOT PUT IT ALL TOGETHER. THEY HAVE PLAYMAKERS AND HAVE THE POTENTIAL BUT THEY HAVE NOT SHOWN IT >> GODDARD HAD 10 YARDS A CATCH. THE LITTLE THINGS. WORKING THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND RUNNING THE BALL ARE THINGS THAT HELPED THE OFFENSE LAST

YEAR. AND ONCE IT STARTS TICKING IT’S HARD FOR DEFENSE TO STOP JALEN HURTS WHEN THEY’RE RUNNING THE BALL BECAUSE YOUR OFFKILTER WHEN THE DEFENSE –>> THEY CANNOT STOP ANYBODY. >> I GIVE RON JOHNSON CREDIT. >> THEY PLAYED INCONSISTENTLY. HOW MUCH DOES THAT GET THEM

STARTED AND RESET EVERYTHING? >> IT’S WHAT THEY NEEDED. THEY WERE PLAYING SICKLY. IT TURNS THINGS AROUND AND YOU START BELIEVING IN YOURSELF. IT’S NOT LIKE HERE WE GO AGAIN.>> IN THE LOCKER ROOM, SOME OF YOU MAY BE SAYING THEY DID THIS WRONG AND THAT WRONG

AND THEY’RE LUCKY TO GET AWAY WITH A WIN. IF YOU ARE IN THAT LOCKER ROOM, IT IS AN NFL WHEN. >> IT IS HARD TO WIN IN THE NFL. SOME DAYS YOU DON’T THINK YOU CAN MAKE A FIRST DOWN. I THINK WE ARE QUESTIONING HOW

FAR THEY CAN GO,
