A Reversal of Fortune

Whoo-hoo we won one in Philly! Usually it’s the Eagles that come up with bizarre winning finishes against the Giants. This time the Giants came up with a wild one against the Eagles.

Let’s start with a lucky fumble recovery in the end zone, followed by a lucky fumble, followed by a fortuitous personal foul penalty that brought the Giants within field goal range and then a kick that just about scrapped the left upright and you had a 17 point 4th quarter comeback that tied the game at 24-24.

Then the topper came in overtime. After the Giants had penaltied their way back from a run to the 5 yard line to the 30 yard line, little brother Eli lofted one to Plaxico in the end zone to wrap up a totally improbable victory 30-24.

Good thing too. An 0-2 start coupled with a Philly 2-0 start would have been more than a little bit of trouble.

Now the guys head for Seattle, the scene of last year’s debacle by Jay Feely. Here’s hoping we do better this year.
