The Jets and the Eagles have plenty in common. They both made the playoffs last year and had expectations of returning. Slow starts have made those aspirations appear less likely. The Jets' season, without a bye to arrest its fall, has taken the sharper downward turn. They're 1-4 and have not looked good the past two weeks in losses at Buffalo and "at" the Giants. more ›

If you didn’t see any Giants games this year and tuned in to yesterday’s 23-20 loss, you were treated to a microcosm of the season. Dumb penalties, inconsistent quarterbacking, tough running and a defense that can’t make a key stop, plagued the Giants all year and cost them the game Sunday. more ›

The playoffs have arrived and somehow the Giants have made it into them. It’s hard to believe that a team that went 2-6 down the stretch could make it to the playoffs, but that is reflective of the mediocre NFC and a reason for the Giants to hope. more ›

How many more shots to the gut can this team take? With seven minutes left, the Giants took a 22-21 lead and were a solid defensive stand away from winning a huge game. But, the Eagles marched down the field in only 8 plays and took the lead. With just less than three minutes left, the Giants came onto the field needing to go 80 yards for the win. more ›

Their three best offensive players, Donovan McNabb Brian Westbrook and Terrell Owens are all out for the season. They are starting a former Rutgers player at quarterback and they just got destroyed by the Seahawks 42-0 on national television. more ›

Swayzak and Matthew Dear are at the Canal Room tonight with their dance music so forward-thinking that the bridge-and-tunnel crowd would never bother to listen. Yes, blips and beeps keep away the "party time" riff raff, so feel safe to bob your head along to some great music while in the midst of a sea of vingtage, ironic T-shirts and button-covered messenger bags. more ›

The Eagles have yet to lose a game to an N.F.C. opponent and their defense is tied for the fourth most sacks in the league with 29. Jevon Kearse has a team high seven quarterback takedowns on the year and you can bet that he and his mates are licking their chops at the thought of going up against the Giants’ brutal offensive line. The Giants have given up 41 sacks – that’s second most in the league. The Bears have given up 43, but have played one more game. more ›
