Miracle at the Meadowlands: Part Dos (Two)

   One word, "WOW!"  The week of December 13th-19th will be remembered for ages by the city of Philadelphia.  This week will be known as "Let's crush New York's hopes and dreams week!"  Your asking why? Why New York?  Well duh, because Philly knows how to rise up in big time moments.  First, it was Cliff Lee being stolen from the New York Yankees fingertips in a bizarre, but sneaky signing by the Phillies.  Then, on to hockey, where the Flyers defeated rivals New York Rangers in a whooping 4-1 win Saturday night.  Lastly, Sunday arrived and the Eagles overcame a 21 point deficit TWICE to defeat the New York Giants in a thriller, as I stated in my previous post.  All of these events that had occurred were great for the city, but one has to stand out in this moment of time.  I selected the Eagles vs. Giants because of the magnitude of this game.  Playoff hopes were at stake producing a dramatic comeback win for the birds, putting this game above all of the other games that happened this week.
    I can still hear the echoes of Joe Buck's voice yelling "unbelievable" in my mind (even though I wish I had the Philadelphia Eagles radio announcers Merrill Reese and Mike Quick on) in the final 14 seconds of an epic game.  Before the punt was even played, I saw the confidence/swagger of Desean Jackson.  He looked so calm, while flaring his arms up in the air, signaling to the crowd that he was going to make something happen.  Desean Jackson rose to the challenge of being the star who would propel his team to victory.  In a blink of an eye, he returns it for a touchdown and the game is over.
    I can't leave this post without saying the leadership of Michael Vick.  This guy, I swear, is not human.  He brought his team back from a large deficit and never gave up once.  He is the ultimate player, definitely earning a spot as the MVP of the NFL this season.  A great example was the 3rd and 10 from the eagles 10 in the final 5 minutes of the game.  This man, single handedly, took over the game with his "madden" playmaking abilities (he will be rated 110 overall next year in Madden lol).  He got the key first down the Eagles needed when time was their enemy.  This, to me, was nothing new.            
    I can't say enough about the Philadelphia Eagles organization and their resiliency.  They have shown that they can win in any type of situation, no matter what factors have been thrown at them.  The Eagles showed their determination from plays like the Brent Celek TD and onside kick, to the Vick, Maclin, and Desean punt return TD.  This "never give up" attitude can and will be in their presence on their championship run.  This game, by far, is the best football game and comeback I have ever witnessed in my 20 years of living on this earth.  Never lose faith in these Eagles.  Enough said.
