Nobody is making excuses, the Giants did not deserve to win. Eli is the team leader and he did not do his job. Therefore it falls on him. Giants coaching staff also called some bad plays at critical points in the game so they are also to blame. Yes, the Eagles defense played well and they deserve credit without a doubt. If this turns into an Eagles/Baltimore SuperBowl, it might be the lowest scoring ever! It would also make for a nice cross-town type of rivalry as well. But the Eagles have to get past the old man to make it to the big game still!
