It was absolutely the right decision. Who the gently caress cares if we win the game in overtime? You're just giving us more time to get injured and the skill level of the team is just not high enough to expect another sustained drive right after that one.

I repeat what I said before. Just let us be able to screw the Cowboys somehow, no matter how minor.

Wentz could use overtime experience. How else is he going to learn games can end in ties? :mcnabb:

lol we're playing on thursday? I actually have to go to get on the subway and go to a professional football game on thursday. I have made all of next week's plans based on this game occurring at 1 on a Sunday like a real football game. Well, team should be fresh for a quick turnaround thanks to that bye we had 15 eons ago on week 4. I would have sold these tickets to giants fans if i knew it was thursday, but i already invited family so i'm screwed and now have to actually attend thursday night "football."

Colts in 2008. They were 12-4 but the Titans started 10-0 and finished 13-3. 49ers were also 12-4 and a wildcard team in 1998 because Atlanta won the old NFC West at 14-2 (And were still the 2 seed cause the Vikings went 15-1).

And related to that, there's been a handful of 11-5 teams to miss the playoffs entirely (Patriots in 2008, one of Elway's teams in the late 80s) and a bunch of ten win teams to stay home (Cardinals, Bucs, and Giants have all done it in the last five or six years).

The Eagles/Giants is the oldest rivalry in the NFC East, going back to 1933.

The Giants currently lead the series 84-79.

Good for you. The Eagles have losing career records to all NFC East teams, but we're closest to the Giants.

Lane Johnson will return to the lineup for the Eagles this Thursday. He has a 5-1 career record against the Giants.

The Giants and Redskins started playing each other in 1932 :confused: Even if you don't count their 1 season as the Braves before they moved to Fenway and became the Boston Redskins, it's still the same start year as the Eagles/Giants rivalry, 1933.

(1932 results)
October 9 Boston Braves 14–6 Braves Field
October 23 Tie 0–0 Polo Grounds

The weird thing is the Eagles and Redskins first game against each other wasn't until 1934, even though in the Eagles inaugural season they were in the same division as the Redskins.

I just got that from the Giants' wiki page

quote:

The team's heated rivalry with the Philadelphia Eagles is the oldest of the NFC East rivalries, dating all the way back to 1933, and has been called the best rivalry in the NFL in the 21st century.[7][8]

The two citations are from the same article by an Eagles writer in 2008 so it's not outside the realm of possibility that the info is wrong.

Hah, the dangers of wiki. Here's what the Giants-Redskins Rivalry Wiki has to say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giants%E2%80%93Redskins_rivalry

quote:

The rivalry began in 1932 with the founding of the Washington Redskins, and is the oldest rivalry in the NFC East Division.

The records to seem to support that so I think this is correct

For the second season in a row the Redskins are playing a meaningful primetime game in the Christmas week. Is...is this real life? :ohdear:

Also, the 'Skins are a whopping 2-15 at home in FedEx Field on MNF. That's...insane. I've watched every single one of those 17 losses, I'd wager.

It's got to be weird to root for an NFL team that all time has more losses than wins to a divisional opponent.

Or in the case of the Eagles, a team with more losses than wins to all divisional opponents and the only reason it's close in some cases is because they used to win a lot before any of us were born.

Well, at least we have more wins than loses to the ex-NFC east whipping boy Cardinals.

Why do the Skins have 17 home games in that stretch while the Giants only got 8 and the Cowboys of all teams only got 12

I guess people really like watching the Redskins suffer

The Redskins have played the second-most home games on MNF (18) since the opening of FedEx Field (1997). The Broncos have played the most (19).

Records since 1997:

Broncos: 195-123 (4th best)
Redskins: 138-178-2 (27th best)

Something about the swinging gate of Monday night games always seems to slam the Redskins in the rear end.
