get through this week and then let it all hang out. If the line can keep #11 upright, anything can happen. Once again Doug has them fighting against the world. I've been excited for them for a while now and don't think they will go quietly. The line played well and we have a running game. Getting #10 back in the second round could be huge.

We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable. They're caring, their character, they do the right thing persistently, and they have a relentless playing style that you can see on tape. The motor, it burns hot. You see them finishing plays.

I’m with you MM.
It’s highly unlikely BUT we have seen this before.
The Giants were 9-7 in 2011 and won it all. The Eagles were 8-7-1 I think in 2008 and made that run and honestly should have beaten the Cardinals.
There is no reason why the Eagles can’t make a run. This defense is good enough and the offense will get better.
I’d like to see the 49ers get the top seed and I’d like to play either the Seahawks or Vikings. I’m not scared of playing in San Fran in round 2. That ain’t much of a home field advantage.
Just keep winning. It’s a long shot but why not us.You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window. -
Eagles should get DeSean Jackson back, if they can win next 2 games
By Reuben Frank December 23, 2019 12:30 PM
Will we see DeSean Jackson play football again this year?
It’s possible.
If the Eagles can get past the Giants Sunday and then win their home wild-card round playoff game at the Linc, they should get Jackson back for a conference semifinal round playoff game the weekend of Jan. 11-12.
Jackson popped in on John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia and all-time great Eagle Mike Quick, the team’s radio color commentator, during Eagles GameDay Final Sunday evening, and Clark reported that Jackson will be ready to play in a possible conference semifinal playoff game, which would be about two months after he underwent a core muscle surgery.

Players on Injured Reserve must miss eight games before they’re eligible to return. The Eagles placed Jackson on IR on Nov . 5, and he missed the Eagles' last six games. The Giants game Sunday will be his seventh, and the potential wild-card game would be his eighth. That would allow the Eagles to activate him in time for the conference semifinals.
Jackson had two 50-yard touchdown catches in the Eagles’ season opener against the Redskins, and those remain the only pass plays of 50 yards or more the Eagles have hit on this year.
The Eagles have also lost Nelson Agholor and Alshon Jeffery to injuries this year, and they released Mack Hollins.
For the first time in franchise history, the Eagles will finish a season without a receiver with 500 yards.
He suffered an abdominal injury in the opening minutes of the Eagles’ Week 2 game in Atlanta and elected not to have surgery. He returned for the Bears game in Week 9 but after a five-yard reception he left the game after aggravating the injury and suffering a complete tear of the abdominal muscle.
The Eagles issued a statement the next day saying Jackson had consulted a specialist, who recommended surgery. Noted sports hernia specialist William Meyers performed procedure place on Nov. 5.
Jackson is in his first season back with the Eagles after spending the 2008 through 2013 seasons here and making three Pro Bowls.
He has 365 catches for 6,276 yards and 34 touchdown catches as an Eagle. He trails only Harold Carmichael, Pete Retzlaff and Quick in Eagles history in receiving yards.
Including his years with the Redskins and Buccaneers, Jackson has 598 catches for 10,420 yards and 55 touchdowns.
He ranks 41st in NFL history in receiving yards and 10th with 17.4 yards per catch.
Including returns and running plays, Jackson has 31 career touchdowns of 50 yards or more, second-most in NFL history behind only Jerry Rice’s 36. Jackson’s 24 TDs of 60 yards or more are most ever.We're looking for people that are fundamentally different,” vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl said Saturday night. “The love and passion for football, it's non-negotiable.

2 thoughts here. If we win 2 games we don't need him. I also think at his age we should just let him heal.Originally posted by musicman View Post"Hey Giants, who's your Daddy?"Comment

What I find even crazier is that the Eagles we have not one WR over 500 yards? Could you even imagine that at the beginning of the year? And yet they may still go to the playoffs and play at home?Comment
