Miracle at the New Meadowlands: A Giant Collapse

Eight and a half minutes left in the 4th quarter and the Eagles trail the Giants 31-10. This game is for all the marbles. The winner most likely will win the division and it seems like the Giants will win. There is no way the Eagles will score enough to make a comeback. WRONG WRONG! They did the impossible. They scored 28 points in half of one quarter. Some teams couldn't even score 28 in the whole game. The Giants defense shut down in the final quarter. The secondary gave up and Vick drove them down the field time after time. Vick played out of his mind running for 130 yards on 13 rushes. Suddenly the Eagles score two touchdowns in a row to cut the lead to 7. Then the Birds get the ball back and Vick ran right through the Giants defense. Now the game is tied and the Giants are in a state of shock. The Giants go three and out and there is 14 seconds left in regulation. Matt Dodge, the WORST punter in the history of the NFL tries so hard to kick it out of bounds, but since he STINKS, he couldn't do it. Okay, well at least he punted it away from DeSean Jackson. Oh no he didn't. He kicked it right to him. What happens when you kick it to the most explosive player in the NFL? Bad things! He bobbled the ball, picks it up, and runs right through the Giants punt team for a 65 yard touchdown to win the game. All I can say about this game is that miracles are possible and Matt Dodge should not show his face in New York for a very long time.

Eagles/Cowboys Sunday Night Football Preview

Alright sports fans, after the Eagles won on a Thursday night in Philly against the Texans, the Birds go on the road to face off against their divisional rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles lost 3 times to America's team last year (once including the playoffs) The Eagles are looking for revenge. The Cowboys are having an off year. Wade Phillips was fired in the middle of the season, Tony Romo breaks his collarbone against the Giants, and many untimely turnovers have killed Jerry Jones' dream of his team hosting the Super Bowl in his stadium. Now, Michael Vick has the team rolling and he gonna have his team ready. There explosive offense is ready to beat up on the Cowboy defense. The Eagles' defense has to get their act together, especially in the red zone. The Cowboys have re established their running game with the 3 headed monster of Barber, Jones, and Choice. Eagles shut down corner Asante Samuel will not be in uniform for tonight's game. It's going ti be tough stopping Austin and Bryant. In the end,I don't see why the Eagles shouldn't be able to beat the Cowboys. The Eagles' offense will be to much to handle. McCoy will have a big game as the Birds win 26-21.

To start or not to start: The Brett Favre Saga

Brett Favre has started 297 football games in a row. He has played through hand, foot, back, and shoulder injuries throughout his 20+ year career. Now, he is 41 years old and may be facing his biggest obstacle yet. Last week against Buffalo, he injured his right shoulder in the opening minutes of the first quarter. So the big decision is will Brett Favre start his 298th consecutive football game. Favre said in his press conference on Wednesday that putting on his shirt and socks have caused pain in his shoulder. What does this mean for Minnesota? Will Favre start? Will he give them the best chance to win if he plays with an sprained shoulder? Would he re injury his shoulder during the game? How is Favre going to throw a football 10 yards or hand the ball off to Peterson without hurting his shoulder? If he does play through the pain and they lose, the question will be... Is Favre playing for the streak or for the Vikings? In my opinion, Favre's streak will end at 297. All great things must come to an end but, it's time for the NFL Iron Man to take a day off.

Birds/ Giants SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

Alright sports fans, it's Sunday Night Football in South Philadelphia. Giants vs. Eagles and it's a NFC divisional matchup and this game is going to be a tough one.  The Giants are coming into the game with a 6-3 record and just of a loss at home to the Cowboys, now tied with the Eagles for 1st place.  The Michael Vick- led Eagles takes the team back to Philly in a crucial game after their smackdown over the Redskins on Monday night.  Now, the Eagles are going into the game on a short week against a very good football team and this may give a slight advantage to the Giants. Nevertheless, you can not count out the Eagles.  Michael Vick is flying high, setting record after record on Monday night. He is going to have his team ready to play. Their speedy offense will be the the reason why the Birds will prevail tomorrow night. Don't get me wrong, the Giants are still going to be ready to play them tough and try to win.  The running game is still a dominant force and the defense will do anything in its power to shut down Vick.  But, Vick, Jackson, Shady McCoy, and Maclin will be able to find a win and take control of the NFC East. 33-26 Eagles in a shoot out.
