Osi Umenyiora (one of the most underrated defenders of the 21st century) had 6 sacks in all of 2006. He had 6 sacks in this one game. That's incredible
This was 2 weeks removed from allowing 35 points to the Packers, and 3 weeks removed from allowing 45 to the Cowboys. After an awful 0-2 start where they looked like one of the worst teams in football, to say that the Giants turned it around would be an understatement

They went from inside the ten to missing a 45+ yd field goal. Jets went down scored a TD AND came back for I believe 23-20 win. Unfortunately we lost to Elway in Denver in the championship game.

The Giants had 4 sacks in the first 3 games of the season. Legitimately one of the worst defensive lines in football. To post 12 after that considering the circumstances is incredible
Let's not forget what they did to Brady in that years Super Bowl as well, they wasn't whoopin his ass like McNabbs' lol, but it still wasn't pretty throughout that game
And that defense would go on to face the nefarious Doctor Football (known as Bill Belichick before Spygate drove him mad) and stop him and his nigh-invincible army of Patriot-Bots from obtaining their perfect season. Heroes, all of them.
Big OSI one of my favorite Giants of all time. Along with Strahan and Tuck. It was this game that made me realize the Giants defense was going to be special. Osi single handedly destroyed Philly with 6 sacks as a D - lineman #BigBlueWreckingCrew 💪🏿🗽
Plaxico Burress was such an X-Factor for the Giants. They really should've had more deep run in the playoffs the year after they won the superbowl, if he didn't carried that DANG GUN!
Ask me, the NFC East was never that competitive, in comparison to other divisions The AFC and NFC East were always the weakest AFC North, NFC North, NFC South and AFC West were always the toughest AFC Central prior to the reshuffling of divisions though
@@fredleeland2464 I mean you're right as far as the regular season, they're not dominant, but they've won 3 of the 18 superbowls that have happened under the current alignment, and have appeared in 4. Their trend of 9-7 or worse teams consistently winning the division didn't start until 2011. But in the 2000s they were just as good as any other division, with consistent 11-5 or 13-3 division winners
It was 80 points they gave up Lost to Cowboys in season opener 45-35. Lost to Packers next week 35-13. But Giants beat both of them in the playoffs. Cowboys 21-17 in divisional and Packers in NFC Championship 23-20 in overtime.
The perfect metaphor for eli Manning is that he had a josh Beckett type career where he lived up to his potential usually I'm big games and won 2 rings but his career was wayyy to up and down and seemed like Eli played his best as the underdog, never with expectations except for 2008 imo
I'm a Giant's defense aficionado from way back. Nothing's more enjoyable than seeing some smarmy, smart ass Eagles quarterback taking a dozen or so solid hits to the frame. Give me a chubby.
12 sacks, 3-4 more within a nail and its still a ridiculously close game. That over the line TD was really really close and changes the ending. NYG v Eagles always played close games in those days
People forget just how bad Eli was back then, he wasn't awful, but by no means was he a top half QB in '07, so no one expected that amazing playoff run. That Giants defense did work, but Eli stepping up his game undoubtedly contributed just as much as that defense. I mean to go from 16 points after his defense had 12 sacks to being near flawless and passing for 1000 yards in a postseason? Amazing
Too bad he had a fraud coach around him named Andy Reid, and an organization who didn't get him any WR Help until TO which didn't mesh well. At least now we gave hurts help, and he's the 2nd coming of McNabb.
@@mariosnum1fan yeah he was. He was the reason we lost to 2 inferior teams in the NFCCG and the reason we lost SB 39. Buccaneers and Panthers weren't better than us. His Hyper conservative playcalling got us 3 points in 3 Quarters after opening up with a touchdown. McNabb wasn't perfect either, he did try and force some stuff and choked vs the Panthers. But when the org gave him T.O. he went to the Superbowl even though T.O. was hurt. And Reid Choked the SB away by wasting the playcall. He's done better in KC
@@stevenpineda397 Eagles are new money. That's why everybody hates us. 6 NFCCGs and 2 SBs since 2000. Giants 2 SBs since 2000, and they haven't won the division in 10 years

2007 is the last time the Giants swept the Eagles. Philadelphia is 21-5 against New York in the last 26 games. To say we've DOMINATED them after 2007 is an understatement. We cost them a playoff spot, and swiped Devonta Smith from them too. GO BIRDS!!!
@@jakebuchsbaum3348 Yet we've still won a Super Bowl more recently than you bums have.... Took away your distinction as the only team to beat Brady in a Super Bowl in the process too.
Great offensive line through this period. I think Eli relied on Tikki alot and took him 3/4 of the season to get ahold of the offense. The Defense well it was amazing rooks and vets one of the best in Giants history.
This was an Eagles team that dropped 42 points a week ago vs the sad sack Lions, couldn’t score a single TD vs a Defensive minded Giants in Jersey. McNabb was eaten for lunch 12x
"They're taking it to them every way you can" - John Madden. Eagles fans talk about the times their team beats us but you never hear them mention games like this...or in the 90s- 2000s....Giants won 9 straight. Last game the bad Giants beat the crap out of them. They knew their playoffs ended right there, the Bucs only threw the dirt on them. The Giants killed them & dug the hole.
What was the name the giants d line was called? Or it was what the package of the 4 dbs(pass rushers) forget... but they were DEEP on D that year...I don't think they had JPP yet either but pierce was a beast, osi, kiwi, Strahan obviously...kavika Mitchell and then had Webster and Ross who was coming into his own..gabril Wilson and James butler...RW and Sam Madison... they were savages...
Can't imagine the level of whiplash Eagles fans went through in that two week span. They put up 56 against Detroit the week prior (42 of which came in the first half as Al Michaels mentioned a couple times) and followed it up with an atrocious performance like this. The Giants had quadruple the number of sacks as Philadelphia had points. Yikes.

That whole Giants DLine from 2006 to 2011 was tops all time
This was the game where he took advantage of Winston Justice....Reid never sent help and let him get beat like a drum
