An Epic Upset in the Meadowlands! (Eagles vs. Giants, 2008 NFC Divisional Round) 

Shut up Michael you pipe

I get wish Donavan Mcnabb and Andy Reid has winning super bowl 39 because I think he desire to has a super bowl rings

Truth, McNabb and the Eagles blew it in Super Bowl XXXIX!

@@m.alexanderzagorski2438 we blew it a week later too against the Cardinals… thankfully 2017 happened and honestly could win another one these next few years

Yea they did, they missed the playoffs twice since Mcnabb was the starter,so they made the playoffs 7x’s in 10 years

Captain Nutsack lol!

@Jason Young The pass was thrown too high. Not the easiest pick to catch.

Asante Samuel has nightmares about losing a perfect season with an interception threw his hands from eli😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@conversekid8954 Agreed. The pass was too high and apparently the wrong route.

Converse Kid definitely could have caught it tho

The 9-7, 4th seeded Arizona Cardinals hosted the NFCCG and went to the super bowl. 2008 was clearly wacky.

Eagles got lucky. The guy who killed them for 4 seasons was out. Oh well at least a lot of eagles fans died between 1960-2017 and missed out on their charity super bowl lol

“Edward White” your a clown and foh with that charity bullshit we earned or ring in 2017 and the eagles have owned the giants in the manning era so rather than luck in this game the eagles just did what they usually do when they play the Giants and that’s win !

Edward White some one is bitter that their franchise is old news lmao it’s a shame your franchise is slowly turning into the laughing stock of the NFL

@@adrianh1375 What's there to be bitter about? Giants didn't have to wait 57 years for a championship as the Eagles did. I mean that is why you guys have a reputation for being "unhinged". Or, I guess that's just simply autistic kids watching football who never grew up 🤔

That's how I felt after my Vikings got revenge against the Packers in the Wild Card in 2004. The happiest I've ever felt after a win.

Giants turn this year

@@davidsearby6314 apparently not

@@davidsearby6314 bro really thought the giants had a chance lol

the giants won, because patriots choked and underperformed, eli and peyton are lucky to play supbar playoff patriots version teams, eagles at least beat patriots in their prime, smh, eagles are the only team I respect that beat patriots, and outplayed them, eagles nation

@@ArgentineFootballfan1978 For you to take the time to type all this bullshit tells me you’re still mad.

@@ArgentineFootballfan1978 U are a definitely an idiot…no doubt 😂

@@KBIbanez1989 what he say?😂

I couldn't agree more.

If Plaxico didn't shoot himself the Giants would have went back to back

You're right. I hate the Eagles but I'll give it to you guys you came in our house and utterly embarrassed us.

Well... I'm not over the events that had lead to this game. As for this game itself it's complicated. I remember fearing for this game even after the Giants had just barely got home field advantage.

@@BrendenNichols No shit

Phinal Flash #FireCleteBlakeman shut up

Eh. If you really think about it, it just goes to show that records and home field doesn't mean a thing. NYG went all the way the year prior at 10-6. Besides, Philly got bounced in the very next round and a short week later by a 9-7 Arizona Cardinals team with a QB who was, what? Going on 38 in early 2009? Lol. After this year, the Giants went and drafted Hakeem Nicks who helped them win a Super Bowl in 2011. It sucked he got injured and shouldve had a longer career with the team. Sure, at the time, it was lousy to see an undeserving Phildadelphia Eagles team end the historic Giants title run from 2007, while, not football related, it was certainly nice to see the Yankees win the world series vs the Phillies as defending champions in 2009. One hand washes the other, correct?

They had already beat them in the regular season that year

If you watch that play closely that was far from an easy interception. I wouldn't call it a drop. It happened quicker than a lot of football fans would like to admit.

@@edwardfights4900 it was a sailed pass that was thrown too high. The 49ers' dropped pick in 2011 was a bigger gaffe, IMO.

@@Phinal_Flash wrong, idiot. Tyree ran the wrong route. You could tell by the way that Eli responded to it "almost" being picked. Eli never reacts that way, and he even said it on a Q&A Tyree ran it wrong. But please tell us more about Super Bowls and Giants history, Eagle fan. Lol.

@@Phinal_Flash what dropped pick vs the 49ers are you talking about, moron? You want to talk about dropped picks, how about the one vs Atlanta? That God awful girl throw Foles threw that hit the Falcons DB in the knee?

@@edwardfights4900 Ok, so it didn't sail (whoop dee do). But it was thrown too high. And the dropped pick I'm talking about is when that dumb shit ran into Dashon Goldson about to make an easy pick on Eli in the NFC Championship. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CBoCi_l0AzM.html

Same with me. The loss to Arizona still irks me to this very day as an Eagles fan. I will admit that I don't follow football today nowhere near as close as I did in the 2000s and early 2010s. I couldn't even tell you the starting lineup today for Philly and didn't even care for their Superbowl 52 win against the Patriots. But during the McNabb era and even sometime after when it looked like Foles would be the next franchise QB, I stood by the Eagles during the good and bad. If they had a chance to win a Superbowl with McNabb, Dawkins and Westbrook on the team, I feel this would have been the year against the Steelers. Think about it, it would have been a Cinderella story had the Eagles won Superbowl 43. The 2008 Philadelphia Eagles started the season very average standing 3-3 by their bye week. During this season, they would tie against Cicinnati then the very next week get blown out by Baltimore, and McNabb would be benched. They would come back on a winning streak against Arizona, only to lose to the Redskins on week 16, but beat the Cowboys week 17 just making it in as the 6th seed with a 9-6-1 record. Had they won with everything they went through during the regular season, and win as the 6th seed, it would have made a great NFL documentary one day. But it is what it is. We can only dream about that scenario now. However, I still enjoyed the McNabb era. That era had some of my favorite players.

Our defensive coordinator was literally dying. If not for that we win the Super Bowl. Instead we got beat up by a 40 year old qb

Y’all should’ve beaten the Cardinals.

@@djeanpierre yeah that was a hell of a game. Both teams had a ton of momentum heading in. Once McNabb hit DJax for that long TD, I thought we were advancing

@@TJB270 I remember that too. I had just came home from the airport to catch the second half of that game and was disappointed because McNabb was a hometown boy. Jackson scored that TD and then they let AZ drive right down the field and score another one.

You can make the argument the game changed when the giants get a huge return to open up and only get 3. They get an early touchdown and who knows what happens

Those 2 defensive stops on 4th downs by 🦅 were huge as well.

Yeah it was the 9-7 Arizona Cardinals telling them they'd be eliminated the very next week lol

@@edwardfights4900 fu lololol

Came here just for that lol

@@edwardfights4900 I can't hear you over the sound of your putrid franchise putting shitty ass Daniel Jones on the field. How pathetic does it feel knowing your franchise will be shit for the next decade? Daniel Jones, lol. Fucking sucks. No doubt Saquon will leave that trash franchise in free agency.

Captain Nutsack he has like 15 tds in 8 games as a rookie he’s good

What crack you smoking , 1 super bowl in 60 years foh. Y’all barely beat the pats , and got a free chip since Bill Belicheck didn’t start Malcom Butler that Super Bowl which was his best defensive player. Do us all a favor and stop smoking dust

Hey dude don't worry about it I seen this division beat each other up all the time oh it's the Redskins oh it's a Giants oh it's a Cowboys and the Eagles who knows

@@spenddollarzent it’s 2023 and y’all still getting tapped by Philly

@@aariesharris7894 and y’all still gonna be 1 and done in the playoffs bozo

2024, eagles beat the giants in the divisional and almost won the Super Bowl vs the chiefs.

Forgive and forget?

He played a major role in their 2007 championship.

Hes black so...

Edward Fights whats that got to do with anything

Without Plaxico 2007 doesn't happen. Don't be stupid.

Scorigami

I remember them saying that at the end of the game. You can check pro football reference's website and choose a specific score, and it will tell you every game that ended with that result.

Automatic Akers

Which is why it stung so much when we lost to the damn Cardinals. A great opportunity lost. But we finally got a ring last season.

And the NFC CG featured two 9-win teams

@@Phinal_Flash LLLLLLLL Cardinals are awesome

@@nifty5799 yeah, congrats. That 08 win was your Super Bowl.

Phinal Flash yeah I just feel like the storylines would’ve been perfect if the cardinals won but honestly a battle of Pennsylvania would’ve been great that year

asante samuel doing something he should have done to giants last postseason in the super bowl

PipeGuy64Bit you can call it whatever you want.., it’s an upset.. thanks

This is such a lie. This 2008 Giants team biggest strengths were not the passing game. It was their rushing attack and monster defense. They still had weapons out there. This was when Steve Smith was pretty good. Hixon was a great deep threat and Toomer could still play. Burress wasn't even having that great of a season before he shot himself.

Captain Nutsack but yet the giants were 10-1 before he shot himself 🤔🤔

Captain Nutsack Plax’s presence alone is a game changer. He’ll draw two defenders a lot of times which leaves other receivers open.

@@L1KECLOCKWORK facts. They went hand in hand. I'm not a Giants fan but watching them at full strength that year was special.

The Eagles were the Giants kryptonite during the Eli Manning Era. Philly's team structure really exploited the Giants weaknesses in the same way the Giants could exploit the Patriots weaknesses.

Ace Solomon lol this day? Idk how old you are but these two teams have given each other’s fans plenty of reasons to hate the other

Eli alone?? Eli was horrible but the offensive game plan by gilbride was even worse. Why was the offense still playing like plax was still there?? Also the game was cold and windy and eli hasnt figured how to throw in a windy game just yet at that time. The main reason for losing was coaching and not adapting to the circumstances.

@@willsmooth1355 Eli SUCKED!!!!!! YOU HEAR ME?!!?!???!?!

Yep till 2021 with the Rams

MrBaddog7676 dude ur just triggered that u got smacked by my eagles. Also serious talk now, can you maybe tell Barkley to stop killing the eagles? His team is costing him the loss. He’s carrying. HES SO GOOD. WE CANT STOP HIM!!! Definitely something to be excited for if I were u

@@bobjoe2448 Not triggered at all. Epic upset means Philly wasn't a good team and had no chance. They had already beaten us. Minor upset, maybe, but not epic. And yes, Barkley has been amazing! So much talent! The only bright spot in another dark season for us.

No, it was definitely an "epic upset". The Eagles went from 5-4-1 with McNabb getting benched, to somehow sneaking in the playoffs on the final day of the season. This was a gigantic upset. The Giants were a much better team. This was not a very good Eagles team. A declining Westbrook and a rookie DeSean Jackson with McNabb on the tail end of his career.

@Blue Skeptic exactly. This was a massive upset. At the halfway point of this season the Eagles looked like they would be picking Top 10 in the upcoming draft.

WHERE YA HIDIN BADDOG!!?!!???!! hahahahaha

But the Eagles defense could not stop Larry Fitzgerald he torched them for three touchdowns that game

They defeated the Falcons 28 - 2 at home in the 2011 NFC Playoffs

@@yaahlabanyamyan144 24-2 not 28-2, don't secretly boost score to make giants look stronger

@@theonlygoodonehere2259 the Giants would go on to win the Super Bowl that season, with a score of 83-10 against the Patriots

Deal with it Xo jr We had a better offensive system back then to.

Except when Asante Samuel was on the field.

Not really...

Until Blake Martinez

Definitely all the suffering the eagles have caused us since the manning era I love a shot with no pressure

better then ELI on that day.... loser went home.

Facts. They could’ve easily won this game

I disagree

pita kafoa who doesn’t

He's a garbage announcer. He's like 7/11 Nachos.

Spero Dedes and Gus Johnson are worse, IMO.

Everybody hates Joe Buck.

Phinal Flash you’re tripping gus Johnson one of the best play by play broadcasters

Rite lol

@@Phillygoat1983 Trash will always be trash. You Philthy Birds should be scared now, the 2020s won't be pleasant for y'all, especially when the Giants come to town 👌💯🔥

@@AceSolomon94 How that work out

I think you guys still lose

😂😵

At least his dad didn't derp on out of his life like yours did lol

why should they?

Not sure who you mean by "we". If you're an Eagles fan, the Eagles beat the Browns in the MNF game they played it.

I remember that game. Eli had the shit face walking the sideline like “I can’t believe we lost to THESE mofos!”

giants just sucked, but their 2 rings were epic

1990 they were #2 seed when they knocked out Montana in the championship game
