you believe that?

im not even saying im right about why the game is on there but there isnt a chance that the eagles didnt have some sort of input

If Lurie produced it, everything would have been from 1995 to now...

I'm guessing NFL Films asked them if the list was OK and they said yeah. I'm sure Jerry would've had issues if they tried to include the Bounty Bowl though...

i think heading into that game, the giants had beaten the eagles like 8 or 9 consecutive times, no? i'm not saying it was a great game overall but it was a pretty significant win for an upstart team like the eagles at the time and knocking off the defending nfc champs. not to mention that the defense played it's arse off that game. so maybe that's the logic behind it all.

if that was their logic then it was horrible thinking...the eagles won 11 games the year before and won a playoff game...they certainly werent upstarts

yes they had lost a bunch to the giants but most of that was because they sucked in the late 90's

and was the defense great that game...i seem to remember some goal line stands but didnt the giants move up and down the field quite a bit...we arent talking about the house of pain game

i dont see a single good reason that game makes their top 10 ALL TIME games...does it even make the top ten of the 2000's?...its not even the best giant game...the westbrook return is easily a better finish

overall, i agree that it's not one of the 10 greatest games in eagles history. but i disagree with the semantics. the eagles were upstarts....coming off one good year and a wildcard win.....which ended with a loss to the giants in the divisional round. 1 good year = upstarts. also, the giants didn't exactly walk up and down the field in that game. they only had 238 yards of total offense.

if you love defensive oriented games, this was exactly that.

so even though the game may not have been full of glamour, without that win the eagles season probably doesn't end with the 1st of 4 straight nfcc games. it was a very significant game for the most successful stretch of football in franchise history.

theres no way youve written that many words and been more wrong in your entire life....well you probably have but that was very impressive

Sgt PSN · May 13, 2009, 02:11:44 PM

and there's no way you've been so wrong with so few words. so i guess we're even.

but if you don't think that was a signficant game for that team, and a pretty big stepping stone for them, then i don't know what to say.

General_Failure · May 13, 2009, 02:11:57 PM

So it was one of the ten greatest games in Eagles history?

'pretty big' definitely equals top ten of all time

Sgt PSN · May 13, 2009, 02:17:00 PM

did you miss the part where i said i didn't think it was top 10 worthy?

overall, i agree that it's not one of the 10 greatest games in eagles history.

i'm just trying to get inside the head of whoever put the list together and figure out why they would include this particular game and so far, that's the best i can come up with. i still disagree with it, but if those are the reasons then i can understand why.

that's the difference between you and me though......even when i don't like something or disagree with it, i like to try and get an understanding of it. you just brush it off as wrong because it's not what igy likes.....which is a hilarious perspective coming from a person like you because it's the exact same way this country used to feel/feels about black people, or anyone/thing else that was "different."

Two changes for the better IMHO. The Steelers comeback was more impressive than the Giants comeback, and who doesn't want to relive last year's Cowboys romp?

QB Eagles · May 31, 2009, 10:43:24 PM

The 2006 and 2008 Cowboys games are out of chronological order on the box. I wonder if that's a packaging fargup or a symptom of the 2008 game being slapped in place of the Minnesota game last-second.

Feva · June 01, 2009, 05:11:56 AM

I don't give a shtein as long as they're both on there...

Eagaholic · June 01, 2009, 05:26:53 AM

08 dallas is probably my all time favorite (followed by RFK '89)

ice grillin you · June 01, 2009, 06:29:42 AM

thank god that giant game is off but i think dallas last year is not needed...it was just to get in the playoffs...maybe include it had they won the superbowl or had they beat dallas in a close tense last second win in some sort of amazing game...

pittsburgh game was so good...i had actually completely forgot about that game...still probably could have found a better choice but i cant really argue against it to hard
