It's not meant as an attack. But if the greatest win in franchise history is a week 15 victory, that's really the only conclusion you can draw. They just don't have the pedigree of more storied franchises. Great team in 2010, though. Could win a title.
They held when they had to, and it was a road game. The "awesome" Giants running game was held in check. If you can stop the run in the playoffs, you can win games.
I think he's turning into one of those guys who is a very talented jerk where people don't respect his antics. He backs it up, though. But as a person who doesn't really care about the Eagles one way or the other, he's pretty easy to root against. He's like the anti-Barry Sanders.
OK.
By his own words he was showboating. You need someone to hit you over the head with a brick for you to know it was a brick?
And by his own words wanted to make sure he ran out the clock. Like I said, he just had fun doing it.
So you're saying you need a brick...It's clear that running out the clock was not his primary motivation.
So you're going to dismiss that he also said the clock was a factor? Gotta love people getting worked up over Desean. By the looks of things, you should get used to it. He isn't going to change.
I'm not dismissing it at all. How is calling one thing his primary motivation dismissing another thing? It means that one thing was more primary than the other and he made it clear in his own words which one was primary. Like I said, when his showboating costs a game or injury we'll see how much fun fans are having.

Yeah, I hope it doesn't cost the Eagles a game. He ain't gonna change though. But if he showboats after all of his game winning TDs, I hope he showboats 5 more times this year.Even Andy Reid said last week, "yeah it bothers me, but that 91 yard TD was a thing of beauty".
:sehorn:
wow, too many of these to quote
You can read Coughlin's lips screaming "WHAT DID I TELL YOU TO DO?" to the kid right after DeSean ran by.
You missed me calling him a fat slob. I'll save you the trouble of qouting me. Just becuase they mounted a miracle comeback, it doesn't excuse Andy for tucking away the red flag. That cost them the game until Vick put the flag on his back. They won in spite of Andy today, and that happens too often for your head coach.
This is the type of win that could propel them to great things in the playoffs.
They don't know how to distinguish between an "important" win and a "great" win.An "important" win is the '60 NFL Championship or the '04 NFCC win. A "great" win is one like today.
You'll have to tell Mike Quick that.
I think everyone here can recognize a great win when they see it. "Greatest win in Eagles history?" If that's the case it says more about the Eagles. Maybe some fans got hyperbolic in the moment. But there isn't a football fan who wouldn't say it was a great win-- and, as someone said earlier, the kind that can propel a team to do great things in the playoffs. The Giants got a lot of momentum playing the Patriots in week 17 a few years back. And they LOST that game. Imagine what this could do.
Again, you seem to be muddling the term "great" with "important/significant". Apparently, no team IN THE HISTORY of the NFL has ever won a game on a punt return as the last play of the game. And no Eagles team has ever come back from that great a deficit in the 4th quarter. Saying that it's the greatest win in team history isn't that far off. Was it their most significant/important, no.
