LeSean McCoy talked about what his TD meant to his confidence
"In terms of my confidence, it definitely boosted it. Having the opportunity to make a play, even after a mistake, it was awesome. It's also on the shoulders of the line. There was some excellent blocking to make some room for us."
Donovan McNabb was asked what he said to Jay Cutler after the game
"I got a chance to talk to Jay a little bit. What we talked about, we are going to keep between us. It's a fraternity of the quarterbacks. I've been through a different situation, but somewhat similar to what he is going through right now. I will continue to provide confidence for him and let him know that he's not the only one who has been through a situation like this. Everyone's been through a situation where you struggle a little bit, but he will bounce back."
Andy Reid talked about what the win meant
"We haven't had a lot of luck in the close games. This time, the guys battled through. They really weren't worrying about what was happening, and just keep banging on. I am proud of them for that. The coaches never got down and they kept pushing. I thought the coordinators did a nice job. Ted Daisher (special teams) really had to deal with a tough card, having to deal with Devin Hester and Johnny Knox."
More after the jump
Jason Peters talked about re-injuring his ankle during the game
I rolled it," Peters said. "I just kept going. I tried not to think about it."
"Brown was getting off the rock," he said of Brown's quickness. "I was late off the ball. But man, when I'm healthy, nobody can beat me."
Sheldon Brown talked about his gutty performance playing with an injured hamstring
"Troy Vincent would be proud of me," Brown said. "I’ve seen him play with some wraps and bandages and all kinds of stuff. I looked up to Troy in a lot of ways and this was one of the ways he always taught me – sometimes you’re not going to feel 100 percent, but you have to put it in your mind that you can get it done and you just have to play smart, play to the defense’s strength. You can’t gamble as much as I would like to, but you play smart you can get through."

brown has got the right attitude. but peters could use a little PR help. yeah, it might be cockyness,which can be a good thing in pro ball, but it just rubbed me the wrong way.

What is up with the Peters 'haters?
Peters has been getting lumped in the same category with Stacy Andrews as a bust this year and getting brutally criticized today for 2 poor plays after he reinjured his ankle last night.
Yet another case of Eagles’ fans largely being dopes. What should the Eagles do instead? Start Dunlap out there (who has brutal in limited action including the Oakland game) or move Herremans out to LT and watch him struggle? This offense-line isn’t great but with Peters at LT/Herremans at LG, they have been at least credible. When either of these two guys go out, it has been largely a disaster especially when Peters has missed time. I would take Peter at 80-85% over Dunlap at 100%.
People also keep bringing up Peters’ toughness. The man is playing with a high ankle sprain including staying out there in a key game last night. Instead of getting credit for playing hurt and staying in, he gets criticized. Brown let up a couple of plays last night too but he was heralded as a “warrior” by the callers after the game. Clear double standard.

yeah, Peters is the best lineman we have
I’m still down on the Andrews brothers.

i dont think it's fair to call fans "dopes" cuz they don't like peters
I, for one, like the guy. I’m glad we have him. With that being said (anyone see the latest ‘curb’?), for paying what was believed to be a top 5 o-lineman 60 million bones, there is heaven’s gates of a doorway to for criticism. He has struggled in penalties, he is credited for at least one sack last night and several more throughout the season. He is a great run blocker, a good pass blocker, and a tough ass dude… just don’t be so shocked that people are going to criticize his play and penalties.
What should the Eagles do instead? Start Dunlap out there (who has brutal in limited action including the Oakland game) or move Herremans out to LT and watch him struggle?
I also don’t think anyone is saying “get rid of him!” The are saying, “for 60 million bucks, get your shit together and play like the top 5 lineman you said you were and are paid to be.” I would call someone a “dope” if they were calling for his head and wanting him to be benched. If those are the people you are referring to, disregard this entire post.
Eagles.

agree
My number one issue with Peters is that he gets a false start almost every game. It’s not a new team for him anymore. He’s played in numerous games and practices. He’s a professional and should know the cadence (sp?) and the snap count. For being a veteran and a “top” o-lineman something as simple as a false start is happening WAY too often.
Otherwise, I do like his toughness. He seems to be injured a lot but still gets himself on the field. I do respect that.

don't forget
about the big guy in the middle… jamaal jackson has been as steady as they come this year… i’m hoping a pro-bowl bid for him for a little recognition

McNabb came through in the clutch
….I can’t believe I just said that. I must be dreaming.

McCoy's fumblitis
he needs to learn how to carry the ball more securely. he carries the ball too far away from his body and he can’t do that in the nfl.
i am glad that he bounced back from his fumble but whenever i watch him run in between tackles, i get nervous. apparently, charles tillman’s been watching lots of film on mccoy and djax as well…

He actually wrapped the ball properly with 2 hands on his fumble. Just a really good strip attempted and the Bears got lucky.

i think it's a trend
moreno, nicks, beenie, mccoy, slaton, all young players, all have fumbling issues that i’ve noticed anyways. I think it’s just a case of lack of experience. I give tillman credit though.. he’s always been good at stripping the ball out
Representing CANADA eh?

Tillman
Tillman is just a ballhawk…He was punching out balls left and right…
I think they flashed a stat that he has like 24 career forced fumbles…McCoy actually had two arms around the ball and he still had it knocked loose…I’d say that was more of a play being made by Tillman rather than McCoy’s fault..
All his forced fumbes were him making plays…u’d think he was wearing #20 the way he was out there stripping people..

He was punching out balls left and right…
That just sounds painful

If we're going to get on somebody for how they carry the ball...
we need to teach Maclin that the football is not a loaf of bread. I cringe when I see him swinging the football back and forth when he runs.

McCoy was golden last night
A lot of good things happened, but also a lot to work on.

If McCoy can slowly trim away the dancing moves he does when he has the ball, he can really become an absolute monster for this offense. Although he tiptoed around a little last night, it was less than usual – and the results speak for themselves. He doesn’t seem like a particularly dangerous player in the way that Westbrook was, but right now he looks like a back that will give you consistent yardage ( roughly 80+ rushing?) each game.

I agree, sometimes he just needs to put his head down and get those 2 or three yards. I don’t like him running up to the line coming to a dead stop and makeing a couple of moves to get a total of zero yards or a loss of a yard or two. THe 15 yard run isn’t always going to be there. You make the money for getting the consistent 3 to 4 yards.
