The Eagles arrive Sunday at MetLife Stadium, and this is probably not the best time and place to expect the Giants to make a stand.
It was lurking behind every corner for the Giants, because they are what they are, and that they were 6-1 after seven games or 7-2 after nine games into Brian Daboll’s first year as a head coach was not going to transform this team into something it is not.
“And really, you can’t focus too much on that. You appreciate it. I think we’re all thankful for the support you get, but you just get back to work. There’s adversity after every loss, sometimes there’s adversity after a win. We’ve talked about that since probably April. There’s going to be ups and downs, and to stay mentally strong and focused on the task at hand, that’s not an easy thing to do all the time. But you need to do it.
Daboll always heaps praise on the opponent but it sounded as if he laid it on a bit thick this past week, all-but canonizing Eagles general manager Howie Roseman for the job he did putting together a “star-studded roster,” gushing about quarterback Jalen Hurts — Daboll was Hurts’ offensive coordinator for one year at Alabama — and repeatedly identifying the Eagles as the NFL’s best team.
“They’re a good team … they usually have a good team,” Nick Gates, expected to start again at left guard, told The Post. “Their D-line is always going to be good, I’ll tell you that. They’ve been good the last four years I’ve been here and they’re probably the best they’ve been this year. Their whole room is stacked. They just keep bringing guys in, I don’t know how they’re doing it.
