WHAT!?!? Some fan. They got what they deserve today? The last quarter cost them for starters....not the second half. What about that stupid fumble, recovered, fumbled again in the endzone play? Real great drive by NYG, huge fluke. Tiki Barber had an amazing 52 YDS on 20+ carries, Philly really dropped the ball there. Philly had two receivers at the 100 YD mark and their D was solid. What about Dawkins INT in OT that mysteriously wasn't reviewed or anything?

Eagles safety Brian Dawkins appeared to outfight Visanthe Shiancoe for the ball on a second-down pass by Manning to make an interception during the winning drive. But the play was ruled a catch for New York's tight end. Manning quickly ran off a play before the officials could replay it. From what I saw that should have been counted an INT.

Either way, not trying to be hard on you as a fan. This, however, was not one of those they got what they deserved type games. Giants got lucky on the INT that wasn't reviewed, got lucky on the fumble in the endzone and got very lucky on that play by Manning to win it. Philly's luck and momentum ran out in the 4th quarter and Giants got the right bounces at the right time, simple as that.

agreed. people around hea in NY are bragging about this win which makes me sick. that was the first time i saw a 17 pt 4th quarter comeback and wasnt the least bit impressed by the comeback. every1 is gettin all big on shelie wut do u expect when ur losing for about 85 percent of ur first 2 games hes gonna get alot of passing yds.he still makes alot of ''rookie'' mistakes in my opinion.

The two were fighting for possession as Shiancoe went down. Unless I'm mistaken, any "ties" in a reception always go to the offense. The play you're talking about is a perfect example of that rule. Sorry, but it was no pick.
