The Eagles are what they are, but that does not mean the Giants have to call them what they are.
It is accurate to call the Giants’ next opponent the Super Bowl champion Eagles, a designation that is difficult for the Giants to utter aloud.
“I haven’t referred to them as that, I don’t think,’’ Eli Manning said, and laughter ensued.
Good line by Manning, who always tries to put a positive spin on the most negative reality.
This is no time for levity around the Giants. There are only so many opportunities a team can have to save its season, and time has run out here.
