After monumental win, Eagles ready for playoff push

"THE GAME on Sunday was the most dramatic comeback win I've ever been a part of in all my years playing football. It was like living a scene from a movie where Michael Vick played the starring role. It is unbelievable how Michael almost singlehandedly brought the team back to victory. Even when I watched the film on Monday, I still can't believe his athleticism. I think Michael is the only quarterback in the NFL who could have executed a comeback like that. And, yes, I'm including Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in that statement. Neither one of them could have done what Vick did. Both would have dropped back, seen no one open, and the drive would have stalled. Nobody in the NFL can make the plays that seem to be instinctual to Michael Vick.

There was a downside to the Giants game; we cannot play three quarters of below-average football and expect to win in the last 7 minutes. We did not execute offensively or defensively in the first three quarters. Sunday was kind of a sweet blessing because even though we ultimately won the game, we also gained the knowledge that we can't win when we start slow and play mistake-prone football like we did against the Giants.

This past Sunday, as we were on the team bus driving from the hotel to the stadium before the game, one thing that stuck out in my mind was how all the fans were giving us the bird and how much they looked like they sincerely hated us. There's nothing like playing a division rival in their territory - the emotion and intensity carries over to the fans, too. In fact, my family was at the game and watched DeSean Jackson's mom get pushed by a Giants fan in retaliation for her zealous cheering after the big win. It's unfortunate that fans take it that far. The only pushing and shoving should be done on the field."
