REPORT CARD

- — Paul Schwartz

OFFENSE

Some big moments for Hakeem Nicks (9-142) and Rueben

Randle (6-96, 2 TDs), but nothing doing again on the ground — long gain was seven yards. As for Eli Manning, the less said the better. Three fourthquar­ter INTs and some brutal decisions. Three intentiona­l grounding penalties? You kidding? F

DEFENSE

Michael Vick (7-79) killed them with his legs. When Vick got hurt, Nick Foles (16 of 25, 197, 2 TDs) killed them with his arm. If Eagles needed a third QB he would have killed them with another body part. Good job vs. LeSean McCoy (20-46) and forced field goals in some spots, but coverage fell apart after halftime and one lone sack. D

SPECIAL TEAMS

Trumaine McBride failed to keep a punt out of the end zone. Steve Weatherfor­d much better moving the ball around and all four of

Josh Brown’s kickoffs were touchbacks. Jerrel

Jernigan should not have taken one kickoff out of end zone, as he only got to 14-yard line. B

COACHING

Tremendous lack of poise in second half when game was very much undecided, as

Kevin Gilbride’s offense looked as if it was a wing and a prayer.

Tom Coughlin should not have accepted penalty in first quarter and calling time out before throwing challenge flag was weird. Perry Fewell’s defense did not adjust well to change from Vick to Foles. F
