Eagles 17, Giants 10: Vince Young Brings The Fourth Quarter Magic

The Eagles have choked up five fourth quarter leads this season and as they headed into the final frame of this one, it looked as though it was going to happen again. Eli Manning led the Giants on a 5 play, 73 yard drive to tie the game at 10 all and it looked like the weekly collapse was on. But then, something pretty amazing happened.
Vince Young led the Eagles on 18 play, 80 yard drive which ate nearly 9 minutes off the clock and culminated in a go ahead to TD pass to Riley Cooper.
"I just basically told the offense to stay focused." Young said after the game, "Don't try to do anything too big and just take it one play at a time. "
And they really did take it one play at a time. Young and the Eagles offense converted five third downs on the drive. It was a game and a drive that would Tim Tebow proud. Young wasn't very good for three quarters, but he finished in a way we haven't seen all year.
And just to make this night even more surreal. The Giants get the ball back with 1:41 left, quickly drive 64 yards and suddenly we're all thinking that epic drive was for naught... But as Eli Manning rolled out on a first down play from the Eagles 21, Jason Babin hit him from the blind side, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Derek Landri (who had a monter game BTW) sealing the victory.
And just to finish it off, LeSean McCoy, who had been frustrated by lack of running lanes all night broke off a 60 yard rush to put him over 1,000 yards on the season. He was unfortunately stopped just two yards shy of the end zone, which meant his streak of consecutive games with a TD ends at nine.
As fun as this game was, one thought has to be driving us all crazy. How bad does that Cardinals loss look now? Had the Eagles won that game, they'd be just a game back in the NFC East right now.

or keep the offense that averages 6~ points than we scored today, and group that with a defense that doesn’t fold like a piece of paper like the one we had today

bigggest thing
has to be the defense, they didnt let us down this time
Defense kept us in it until the offense decided to take the lead.
Then the defense FINALLY made a play FTW
Running the football too
Even though Shady was basically kept in check the whole game, they were keying on him and this left VY with open targets all game long.
Commitment to the running game is more about total carries than yardage, because it keeps the defense off balance.
I didn't expect the Eagles to win, I flicked on the TV...
At around the 3rd Quarter to see the Eagles up 10-3. Surprising win, but still not placing an emotional investment into this team.

Are you kidding me?
Vince Young wins one game, where the Giants don’t have Bradshaw and are dropping balls left and right and you want to have him replace Vick? He threw 3 picks, he looked awful until the last drive of the game. This is going to be annoying for the rest of the season, wish he would have lost.

While VY did play great tonight in the 4th, the fact remains he still needed the defenses best game they played this year to keep them in the game because he threw 3 INTs including one in the redzone.

Eagles would have probably beaten the 49ers, Bears, and Cardinals if they ran the ball in the second half
So yeah, I prefer Vick.
The question is will the Reid/Morni two-headed monster continue to run the football?
Probably not, if 12 years is any guide…
Teams where VY is a back up
Is like 3-15 or something ridiculous
I need a sig. Someone say something funny.
Since Eli is an elite QB are defense should handle brady similarly (giggle)
but their defense is totally different (worse) so it should be interesting
I've been waiting my whole life for an Eagles Championship

What a weird game
Marty/Andy did not abandon the run despite being stuffed at the line so many times.
The Linebackers played extremely well.
Riley Cooper had 5 receptions and a touchdown
On another note, how sick was Babin’s awareness when he turned to grab Eli. I thought that guy was doing so well because of Jenkins and Cole, but holy shit.
I felt that they didnt run enough
even though it was being stuffed. They put the game in the hands of Young and he pulled it out for us
Congrats on getting off the snide
Good game to watch. Good balance on offense. Defense was bringing it. In the 4th qt., VY as cool as the other side of the pillow.
yall dudes are bugging out.
The defense won this game. The DEFENSE. If Michael Vick had this defensive effort, we would be at least 7 and 3. We crushed them on defense. Remember, Young threw 3 picks. Our DEFENSE played with heart for the second time all year (Dallas).

well...
The coaching wasn’t as usually frustrating. I thought it was done well. No crazy trick plays, if I remember correctly. Stuck to the run well.
The defense played great. The linebackers played good. Saw a couple of missed tackles but we were swarming to the ball so it made up for it.
I think we may gave found something special with Brian rolle. The dudes been playing lights out. Just needs to work on his coverage a little better.
I’m just glad we beat the giants once this year. I hope this is the start of a massive losing streak for them.

What rule?
Are you talking about the dumb taunting that negated a big play BECAUSE the giants also committed a penalty
Yes
The fact that the Giants committed a penalty is irrelevant.
DeSean committed a dead ball foul, meaning the play stands and the penalty is enforced after.

Rule 14, Section 3, Article I:
“If there is a double foul, the penalties are offset and the down is replayed at the previous spot.” There is no exception for whether the penalties are dead-ball or otherwise. It may not make sense, but the refs got it right.

What needs to be brought to attention to the NFL is they actually interpreted the rule correctly.
According to Mike Pereira, even if it is a live ball foul and a dead ball foul, the penalties still offset and they place the ball at the original spot and repeat the down. The refs interpreted the rule correctly in this instance, the problem is the rule, because the Eagles got punished an extra 30-some yards because the Giants committed a penalty. If you think this is one of the dumbest rules the NFL has in play, you are not misinterpreting what the rule is.Editor at SB Nation's Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game.

I was wonderin,
That offensive PI call against Cooper early in the game. Why is that PI? The corner ran into him and he was being blocked by the cornerback into him. I felt the refs totally blew tonight.
I don't think it should have been.
If he’s engaged with another WR it shouldn’t be a PI. Collinsworth tried to explain why it was but I didn’t really understand it.

So, Young. Meh. Was very mediocre for first three quarters. He was under throwing lot of balls and just kept on missing guys. He also owes DeSean a medical bill for causing him to get injured on what should have been an easy throw. Plus, two really bad interception that easily could’ve put Giants right back into the game. (Yeah, yeah, there was a third pick – but that was a bullshit no PI call on Giants)
That epic 18 play drive? Really different. Keeping it nice and easy, slowly grinding yards while making sure to stay accurate. Did everything he needed to do and not screw it up. Good job.
So, basically, two good drives out of Young tonight. That’s not going to cut it for most games. I’d still rather have a healthy Vick than Young at the moment.
That said, THEY DIDN’T SCREW IT UP! Holy shit, that’s terrific. 4th quarter where shit didn’t go completely wrong. Good win.
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
"WHY IS THIS PINK-HAIRED BITCH A CAR?!"
GO look at VIck's stats
In 4 of the 6 losses he had more picks than ints, including one 4 pick performance. Lots of tipped balls, but still.. Just sayin, don’t act lilke VY is a major downgrade or somemthin
TO ALL THOSE BASHING YOUNG
Wasn’t he brought in to do what he did tonight? Might those of you talking about the first three quarters (and his previously 3 horrible plays in brief appearances this year) of bad throws and stats have an agenda or possibly not understand football? I get it, all of that is terrible, even if it is a small sample size. Why not use a bigger sample size like his second year in the league when he threw 9 td’s and 17 picks? That was horrible no? Or use his last year stats where he had a half season and had a passer rating of around 98? My point is how is any of this relevant in the hear in now? I’ll tell you, it’s not. But maybe 31-17 is good stat? I don’t care about flaws right now, we have a great qb whose prob even more banged up than we’ll ever know, all we needed was a capable back up for Vick this year. Vince seems to give us an opportunity to get our ultimate weapon Vick back healthy so we can make a long shot playoff run and knock some teams in the mouth who’ve been enjoying our rough start. The Giants were in sole first place in our division and have been playing great. Eli is the 4th quarter king this year. Vince just filled in well enough so that we could go in to their house and get the win, dominate with D, and stick the dagger in when it counted. Let’s not spoil one of our bright spots this year. We have a less than dominating D coming to our house and a reason to look forward to next week. Focus on that.
Did you just say last year's stats aren't relevant and then use his W-L stat as being relevant?
(A W-L record based almost entirely on his being on a different team with different coaches, teammates and defense I might add).
VY is fine as our backup and I would rather a healthy Young than a hurt Vick. I don’t see people bashing Young as much as their saying “pump the brakes” on the idea that Young should be starting now or something. As you said, he is capable backup to Vick. While Vick is hurt, Young gets to hold down the fort.
Clear eyes, full bologna sandwiches!
Also, McCoy is now the leading rusher in the NFL. Badass.
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
"WHY IS THIS PINK-HAIRED BITCH A CAR?!"

About Vince Young
He threw one interception where it was a bad throw, one where it was tipped, and one where Cooper slipped and the throw wasnt that great. He does need to get on the same page as his receivers, but why is everyone acting like VIck isn’t averaging 2 picks per game himself? In general, VY made great decisions all game, just gotta bring his arm next game.
YES
Agreed ! And Vince can actually look over the o-linemen and he wasn’t scared at all in the pocket… it helps that he’s pretty big and harder to take down.

Vick has 10 ( I dont count the one dropped in Atlanta) in 9 games. Vince has thrown 4 in 5 quarters. Vick was leading a top ranked offense, while Vince scored 10 points in 3 Quarters, despite the defense repeatedly getting the ball back in his hands. And he made great decisions all game?

THat Sounds about right, Considering
The fact that VY has taken 0 practice snaps all season. 0!!! Plus, VY only has a 5 quarter sample size to work with. Vick had 4 picks in one game (Buffalo) in which he threw a pick 6. I’[m not bashing Vick though, just saying VY made good decision.
The pick to desean was the right decision, bad throw. THe pick that was tipped was a P.I. but still right decision. The pick to Cooper was the right decision, but didn’t throw it close enough to the sideline and Cooper slipped. All good decisons, so why do you disagree?
So you’re saying all of Vicks picks were bad decisions? Vick had 0 practice snaps last year when he came in for Kolb, and didn’t throw a pick for how many games? That doesn’t give Young a get out of jail free card. And even with Vicks 4 pick game, if the Bills were held to 10 points its a W. Young may have had that 4th quarter drive, but his inability to put points on the board is what made it a necessity. And yeah, McCoy may have been bottled up, but Atleast the runs were being called. The offensive game plan was a lot more balanced this week. When Vick is in teams play the pass and we don’t run. The Giants sold out to stop the run tonight, and Vincent had plenty of time to throw to open receivers. Vick puts up 30 on this Giants defense, easily.

NOT TO MENTION
No running game all night. Mccoy was bottled up all night, that’s never happened to Vick. Add that and DJacks stupid taunting penalty and lots of points came off the board for VY
at least they stuck with the run game
It’s about attempts, not yards.
When Vick is in Andy tries to run play action when teams have no fear of us running. Attempts keep the defense honest.

Right
but for the play action to work, you have to be at least mildly effective running the ball when you do attempt it. It’s not gonna scare people when you run 20 times for 11 yards; hence, yards matter, not juts attempts.
Nope.
Those fans that relentlessly scream "run the ball" no matter what drive me nuts.
They really think running the ball twice for 1 yard and then completing a 3rd and 9 pass means that the run “set up the pass”, “kept the D honest” or “wore down the D”.
Yea right.
It’s a passing league. I hate to see downs get wasted with the run when they’re not getting anywhere. It was great to see the run game dominate vs. Dallas… but I’m a fan of whatever works. And in today’s NFL, it’s usually the pass that makes or breaks the game. Today it was the pass that accounted for practically all of the meaningful plays for both teams.
It was nice to finally be on the winning end of a nailbiter.
Didnt win one like that since last season
That said
I don’t think there should be a QB controversy. VY didn’t play well enough. There was 5-8 plays where he seemed to be throwing a different route than what was run. Be interesting to see who’s to blame there.
I would blame it on a lack of reps / inexperience.

FInally, STOP Calling him TEBOW!!!
He is waaaaaaay more advanced that Tebow and he actually throws accurate passes, especially over the freaking middle!. Notice how many times VY ran on our last drive too. THere is probably only one throw that Vick can make that VY can’t, and thatas the 60 yd bomb to Jackson. VY putting too much air

I almost forgot,
Awesome play by DJack on the final drive to get the 3+ yards on third down where he slipped the tackle. That was definately Huge
Btw
The Patriots are going to be coming off a short week (playing on Monday night this week). The big question is if Brady can take advantage of the sometimes confused defense who showed up in a big way against the Giants. They’re definitely beatable…

vick
Was talking to my friend yesterday about vick and he was telling me that while vick was with the falcons, white had chronic dropping tendencies. Then he leaves and white is a superstar and doesn’t drop anymore. Supposedly it was bc vick throws so hard. Just thought it was interesting

Roddy White is leading the NFL in drops this season
He has 9 of them…
DJax taunting penalty
Was stupid but I don’t see how you can take away the catch in that situation. Sure fine him 15 yards for a 1st and 10 fro the 35. But I’ve never seen a TD taken away by a taunting. After he’s made the catch you are going to reward the defense for committing an offsetting penalty? Really, after he made the catch? Either the refs screwed it up or the rule has to change.
It’s the rule.

Not trying to defend DJax
But that should have been 1st and 10 from the 35. Instead, because the defense committed a penalty it got moved back to the 2 with offsetting. It makes no sense to reward the defense for committing a penalty.
This changes nothing. Fire Andy Reid.

Well I had to work so I’m only in the third quarter but so far:

2. The DeSean Jackson punt return
3. Any play where we fought Brandon Jacobs’ punk ass

Yeah I’m in the 4th quarter (watching it again), but:
I like the Jackson return as my first, and then the Jenkins hit and 3rd overall improvement and comfort level for VY as the game went on. You’re being a little harsh on VY on some of your comments.

I bet you thought Mike Tomlin wasn’t good either. How good was Jon Fox as a defensive coordinator? What about Lovie Smith? How about Jim Scwhartz?
Romeo Crennel is a pretty good DC, right? Steve Spagnuolo was awesome. Dick LeBeau is the best, right? Dom Capers is pretty good, right? Marvin Lewis ran one of the greatest defenses of all time. Jack Del Rio was good. And yet all of them failed as head coaches.
Some people are schemers, some people are teachers and motivators who get the best out of players, Fewell is the latter. Leave the scheming for the coordinators. Go ask Bills fans what they thought of Fewell as a head coach, they’ll tell you that the best football that team played was under Fewell and he got the best out of that team.

And this is why I hate the Eagles...
last week they lost and their season was over.
This week they win and suck us all back in. Despite their season still probably being over, baring collapses by NYG and Dallas. Which, would be fantastic mind you.
“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.”
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."
I’ve always thought it as funny that what may be the most well-known Godfather quote (or is at least among the very well known quotes) is from the definite worst of the three movies.
Clear eyes, full bologna sandwiches!
True that.
Though I am also partial to “Leave the gun, take the cannoli.”
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
So many quotes from those movies really.
I’m not sure I could even pick a favorite.
Clear eyes, full bologna sandwiches!
my take
vince young played great. he was calm and poised. he got better throughout the game. his ints were not terrible. one was a punt. one hit clay harbor in the chest while he was being pass interfered with. one was a jump ball to riley cooper. so that was the bad one. he has great pocket presence. he reminded me of big ben. it was only one good drive but it TOOK FOREVER. his drives are slow and methodical. it is a different pace than vick. and it worked in this game in which the d decided to get their shit together.
vick is the qb. he is more dynamic. but he is injury prone. and this win is the reason why vince was hired. not to coin monikers for the sheep herd media.
by andyfrombrooklyn on Nov 21, 2011 7:28 AM EST reply actions
Vince played great
In the first half, Young was 8 for 18 for 89 yards with one TD and two INTs and a 38.7 passer rating.
In the second half, he was 15 for 18 for 169 yards, with one TD and one INT and a 103.2 passer rating.
Got the win, showed improvement, case closed as far as if Vince did what was needed and whether or not we are lucky to have him as our backup.
even in victory you guys hate each other.
what a great weekend.
I don't trust this team.
Yay! We beat the Giants. I’m happy for that, but I’m really not that over-the-top about it. I still don’t see us making the playoffs anyway. I’m just going to go along for an unemotional, uninvolved ride this season. If they make the playoffs, I’ll reinvest, but this team has been waaay too schizophrenic for me to allow myself hope for this year.
Clear eyes, full bologna sandwiches!
