NO CONTEST:
The Giants-Eagles
rivalry is filled with
bad blood, but
lately it’s been all
Philadelphia. The
Eagles have won
eight consecutive
meetings against
the Giants,
including a 22-21
victory on Oct. 22
at Lincoln Financial
Field.
N.Y. Post: Charles
WenzelbergGiants have lost 8
By Ryan DunleavyThe Eagles can’t lose to the
Giants.
It’s an impossibility — like
counting all the stars in the sky or
staying dry in the front seat on
Splash Mountain.
Or at least it feels like that after
the Eagles have tried every which
way to lose to the Giants and still
manufactured enough crazy
comebacks to win eight straight,
12 of the last 13 and 20 of the last- So while the Giants (2-7) have
every reason to dread Sunday’s
matchup, the Eagles (3-4-1) own
the psychological advantage of
any neighborhood bully.
“A lot of times in these rivalries
you possibly could think that you
own someone,” Eagles great
Brian Westbrook told The Post,
“but when both teams are under
.500 and have been underper-
forming and have had some of
the inconsistencies that they’ve
had all season long, there is re-
ally no room to talk or think that
you own anything.”
Westbrook’s Eagles were 9-7 in
the regular season plus two play-
off wins against the Giants from
2002-09. He is an Eagles pre-
game show radio analyst and a
sports talk co-host on 97.5 The
Fanatic, so he understands the
pulse of Philadelphia.
“They were our biggest rival,”
Westbrook said. “The Giants had
a bunch of really good players and
you would see them during the
offseason and there would be
some healthy trash talk during the
game, but they always had our re-
spect and we had theirs. When
you play opponents you respect,
it’s always a good rivalry. That’s
what the Giants were for us.”Sunday
