12 penalties for 103 yards, 3 turnovers.

And what makes it worse is that the Eagles had more penalties and dumb ones, too, and we still lost by double digits somehow.

IF Eli didn't throw the popup interception, we probably would've scored, went into overtime, and had a shot to win. That interception score was the one that really killed us.

It's his fault if a defender hits him from behind as he's throwing.

We were in position to have to score a TD and a 2 point conversion. Penalties factored in to that position. End of discussion.

We didn't need a TD and a TWO point conversion. We were down 7. And let's not even get into Choke-lin's baffling, idiotic run call on the 2 pt.

Well, the penalties factored in the position that we needed a TD. I was surprised by that run call. The formation of the Giants did not look like they were going to run.

To be fair, even up to the point where the Giants were up 22-21, the Eagles had outplayed them. Philly compensated for their penalties by making the big plays when they had to (although at times with a LOT of help from the non-existent Giants D).
