On Sunday, the Eagles completed the greatest comeback in franchise history with an ending that this team has seen twice before: the miracle at the Meadowlands. The three plays will be forever etched in Philadelphia Eagles lore. They are so similar, in fact, that I must compare them to see which was the greatest. First [...]

Asking My Eagles Fans (and NFL Fans): What Was Your Reaction to the Miracle at the New Meadowlands?

The Question: What was your reaction to the Miracle at the New Meadowlands? The Answers: Me: For most of the game, I was angry. I was furious. I was absolutely crushed. I was already planning out all the “We’re not a playoff team, let alone a Super Bowl team” articles I would write. Then it [...]

Coming off a very short week, the San Diego Chargers prepare to host the San Francisco 49er’s tonight in another must win game.

Why LeSean McCoy’s Fourth Quarter Running Against the Dallas Cowboys Was a Top 3 Highlight of the Season

In Sunday’s Eagles-Cowboys game, I saw something that as an Eagles fan, I really haven’t seen much throughout my lifetime. No, it wasn’t DeSean Jackson’s 91-yard touchdown reception, although I would argue that was the best play of the entire season (so far). It came in the fourth quarter, with the Eagles leading 30-27 and [...]
