0 McNabb Rallies the Eagles to 27-24 win against the Redskins... Posted by DieHardFans | at 5:00 AM

While the Indianapolis Colts quarterback, Peyton Manning is the undisputed king of comebacks, Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb isn’t too shabby either. Sunday’s game between the Eagles and Washington Redskins at Lincoln Financial Field saw McNabb performing well.

He drove a 24-all score and kicker David Akers converted the game-winning field goal, allowing Philadelphia to rally and defeat Washington 27-24. The Redskins would strike first however, as they needed only four plays to score as Jason Campbell ran in from a yard out. The Eagles fought back, scoring ten points on a 6-minute span, capped by a 35-yard McNabb to DeSean Jackson TD pass, giving Philadelphia a 10-7 lead. However, the Eagles would lose Jackson later in the second quarter with a concussion.

Washington would also enter the second quarter scoring first on a 4-yard TD pass from Campbell to Santana Moss with 11:44 left in the half, allowing the Redskins to regain the lead. An additional pair of Akers field goals 46 seconds apart would help the Eagles take a 16-14 lead.

This was short lived however as Washington went ahead 21-16 on their first possession of the second half, driving 80 yards on nine plays, capped by a 10-yard TD pass from Campbell to Fred Davis. This is all academic though, given that the Redskins would up their lead to 24-16 on a Shaun Suisham FG. But then McNabb would drive the Eagles 90 yards, capped by a 1-yard run by Eldra Buckley and a two-point conversion, tying the game at 24-all.

Akers would put the icing on the cake for Philadelphia Eagles when he kicked a 32-yard FG with 1:48 left in the game!

0 Eagles fly late as they top Bears 24-20... Posted by DieHardFans | at 1:20 AM

The Eagles needed a big late effort against the Bears on Sunday night to move to 6-4, and got just that with a late drive from Donovan McNabb as the team topped Chicago 24-20. The Bears were up 20-17 when Antonio Dixon blocked a 48-yard field goal with 11 minutes left. That block opened the door for the Eagles offense, as McNabb led the team on a 62-yard touchdown drive that LeSean McCoy capped with a nice 10-yard run, sending Chicago to its fifth loss in six games and delivering another big hit to its playoff hopes. The Eagles built a 10-0 lead in the first quarter on a David Akers 25-yard field goal then a McNabb 13-yard pass to Jason Avant with 2:48 left in the first quarter.

The Bears clawed their way back though, as they scored three times in the second quarter, but all three were field goals, but it made it 10-9 at the half. The Bears got another field goal in the third quarter to take a 12-10 lead, but then the Eagles were able to score quickly as after a 16-yard pass to Jeremy Maclin, McNabb found DeSean Jackson for a 48-yard score down the middle of the field to make it 17-12. Jay Cutler, who was held in check all night, came right back as well, going six plays and 55 yards as Cutler found Kellen Davis with a 15-yard score. They also got the two-point conversion to make it a 20-17 Bears lead. Then the tide turned after the blocked field goal and then the long drive that ended with the McCoy 10-yard score.

The defense sealed the win as the Bears got the ball back at their own 21 with 1:51 left, but six plays into the drive Sean Jones picked him off, ending the final Bears threat. McNabb was 23-for-32 for 244 yards with two scores and a pick. McCoy ran for 99 yards on 20 carries with the game-winning score.

0 Giants beaten 40-17 as the Giants climb the ranks... Posted by DieHardFans | at 10:15 PM

The recent performance by the NY Giants has prompted a number of critics to question whether they are going downhill. After suffering a beating at the hands of the Eagles (40-17), the offense looked weak. The defense couldn’t get a single stop, and kick-off coverage was atrocious. The Giants truly need to get their act together and it’s safe to say they need to do it fast. The Eagles started off the scoring a minute and a half in, with a 41 yard run by fullback Leonard Weaver.

They did appear to pick up the pace later on in the half, and got a touchdown on an 18 yard pass to Kevin Boss. This only ruffled some feathers for a brief moment, and the Philadelphia Eagles scored on a 54 yard bomb to DeSean Jackson just 14 seconds later.

The Eagles led 30-7 at the end of the half but started off scoring in the third quarter, as the Giants gave away a fumble which turned in to a 35 yard field goal. The Giants added a touchdown late in the 3rd quarter, off the back of a 1 yard run from Ahmad Bradshaw. The Eagles started off the 4th quarter with another touchdown, this time on a 66 yard run by LeSean McCoy.

The defense was just as bad, if not worse. The tackling was horrible. Downfield coverage was worse. Eli looked a shadow of himself. There was no running game whatsoever and it’s fair to say that the Giants are a team in trouble. Both defense and offense are struggling. The Giants have been exposed in their three straight losses, all of which were against the bigger teams. Their wins, save for the Dallas Cowboys, were against the worst of the worst. We’re now wondering, can this Giants team beat the good teams? Or are they a mediocre team, capable of beating the bad teams, but not beating the good teams. The Giants will be debating that all week. And so will all the fans.
