Last nights came down to the last minute when the Eagles drove down the field but got stopped on two straight running plays. If the Eagles just converted just one of the two plays, they would have had a great shot at winning the game because of the momentum they would have gotten from the play. I would have to go against Andy Reid's coaching decisions in that situation to run the ball when the Eagles have a banged up running back, Brian Westbrook, and also they have an elite quarterback in Donavon McNabb. The Giants are one of the best defenses in the NFL and to go up against that and succeed would have been a great momentum booster, but it didn't go to well.
The Giants had a huge game on the ground and had over 200 yards, with Brandon Jacobs having over 120 yards alone. This just shows that the defending Super Bowl champions are still a power house and are favorites in this year's Super Bowl. The Eagles on the other hand are still a better than average team and still have a shot at the Wildcard spot for the playoffs. They have a strong defense and high potent offense that can put points on the board, so they aren't out just yet.
