If you thought the Eagles were in disarray against the Giants, you should have seen Mimi (my wife) and Poppy (me) at Uncle Bill's Pancake House in North Cape May earlier Sunday with our three grandsons.

Eagles' best play
Coach Nick Sirianni wisely benched quarterback Jalen Hurts and the rest of the starters in the second half after falling behind 24-0.
Eagles' worst play
Sirianni allowed Hurts to stay in the game for a series in the second quarter after the Giants took a 24-0 lead and Hurts suffered a finger injury to his throwing hand.
Turning point
The game was essentially over in the second quarter, when the Giants took a 24-0 lead on quarterback Tyrod Taylor's 19-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Darius Slayton. The Eagles played their backups for the entire second half.
