Giants vs. Eagles 2013, Week 8: Live coverage, score updates and more

Vick said he heard a pop in his hamstring on a first quarter scramble. He returned for a series before giving way to Matt Barkley. Vick missed the Eagles’ prior two games with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 5.

Kelly again:

Ed Valentine of Big Blue View is pleased with the improvement of the offense over the last two weeks:

Brandon Gowton of Bleeding Green Nation believes this loss sums up the expectations for the Eagles moving forward:

While healthy, Vick led the Eagles to one of the top-scoring offenses in the league, but the team has struggled to do anything when he went down. They have scored just 10 points in the past two games.

Here is an updated look at the NFC East standings after Sunday’s results. Keep in mind the results of Washington’s game are still up in the air, hence the asterisk.

1. Dallas Cowboys (4-4)

The issue with Philadelphia’s offense extends beyond just points and yards. Kelly’s decision-making has also been suspect over the last two weeks. Offensively, the team has completed just 7-of-30 on third down (23 percent), and averaged 3.6 yards per play.

Every phase of the offense is failing. Quarterback switches have caused the passing game to be inconsistent, and the Eagles will hope Foles is able to return quickly. He’s not perfect, but Foles has shown he’s the most capable of running Kelly’s offense and taking care of the football.

Eagles’ quarterback Michael Vick left in the first half and was unable to return.

LeSean McCoy was a fantasy dud, finishing with just 48 yards.

It’s a high snap that sails about 10 yards over his head, that much can’t be blamed on Weatherford -- but why in the world didn’t he just dive on the ball or kick it out of the end zone for a safety? Instead he elects to try the under-utilized “crab walk over the ball” method, which results in an Eagles touchdown.

Suddenly an easy victory doesn’t look quite so easy. The Giants currently lead 15-7 with just over three minutes left in the game, and another touchdown might be enough to flip this game on its head.

Update: Victor Cruz has returned from the locker room and is back on the field.

Cruz made a catch and was slammed to the ground by cornerback Bradley Fletcher. He fell hard on his neck and shoulders, remaining down on the field for some time before walking to the sideline. Cruz was taken to the locker room for further evaluation, and is currently undergoing x-rays to determine if he broke a bone-- according to Zach Schonbrun.

It’s hard to know what’s funnier here, the play or the fact Barkley thought he could out run Thomas.

Vick attempted to run during the first quarter before leaving to the sideline and speaking with team doctors. He tried to stretch his leg on a stationary bike, but was unable to return. Sunday’s game marked Vick’s return from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for two weeks. There is no confirmation that his exit from the game is related to his prior injury.

This is the next in a long line of records Manning is sure to break or has broken with the Giants. He already holds the team record for touchdown passes and the longest pass in team history, but somewhat less ceremoniously also needs eight interceptions to tie the team record.

Brandon Gowton of Bleeding Green Nation is concerned about the Eagles’ quarterback situation heading into Week 8:

Ed Valentine of Big Blue View has been impressed with the Giants’ defense as of late:

• NFL Week 8 picks: Good picks for bad games | Watchability

• Hot Seat Watch: Is Schiano still here?

Pundits at CBS still believe that Chip Kelly’s offense is potent enough to handle a middling defense. Six of their eight experts are siding with the Eagles.
