If you missed today’s Giants-Eagles game, aside from missing the best match-up of the week, you missed an unbelievable comeback for the ages.  For Giants fans, the loss ranks right up there with the Miracle in the Meadowlands and the 2002 playoff loss to the 49ers in terms of all-time monumental collapses.  Yep, this one is going to sting for a while.

The Giants dominated for most of the day and held a 31-10 lead with less than 8 minutes remaining. But the home team collapsed entirely in the final minutes and allowed the Eagles to claw their way back into the game and stun New York on the last play. The rally was largely engineered by Michael Vick, who had been contained by the Giants defense for three quarters, but came up huge once again when it mattered most. And the same could be said for WR DeSean Jackson, who was held in check for much of the the afternoon, but scored twice in the 4th quarter – once receiving and once on this incredible game winning 65-yard punt return with :00 remaining:

All rookie punter Matt Dodge had to do was kick the ball out of bounds.  Would that have been so hard? Tom Coughlin sure would like to know.

With the win, the Eagles have all but clinched the NFC East crown. Vick, the soon-to-be MVP, finished with 242 yards and three touchdowns passing plus 130 yards and another score through the air. But even though this loss is brutal right now, at 9-5, the Giants still have a very good chance at making the playoffs. So if this game doesn’t end up crippling them emotionally to the point of blowing the next two games, we could easily get a re-match of these two clubs in January.
