"David Akers hits right upright" game 2007

Route 9 : 7/25/2020 12:27 am

This game doesn't get a whole lot of mention on here but I thought this was an underrated win in the 2007 run. A road win vs Philly? What?

I was at this game and remember it clear as day.

Another underrated moment in time was when the Giants forced a fumble on Westbrook. He never ever fumbled (especially against the Giants) and I remember having to do a double take.

Plaxico was a complete monster in this game. I just remember him finding open spaces all over the field against the Philly defense and they still couldn't figure him out. He had a nice YAC (think it went for 40 yards) and he had one touchdown.

On the last drive (lol) Madison was like wrestling with Westbrook and the refs didn't see it. Wasted so much time. 57 yard FG attempt. Looked like he had the distance but BONG!

Philly fans are such losers. 13 years ago and that was the last year the Giants got 2 wins in one season against those boners. I can't believe it.

Plax really was the difference.

Philly couldn't matchup with him.

I remember that day

A bunch of us went over to a mutual friend of theirs. He made us food and we all got smashed. He was a cool guy. Seemed genuinely happy we were over. He was an Eagles fan, so there was fun drunken banter all that that day. I don't remember how I got home and was eating Taco Bell. That guy passed away a few months later. I was very saddened to hear and still to this day. Definitely one the highlights of my younger life.

That was a solid game, too.

Two division rivals late in the year. Defensive battle but still interesting. Low scoring.

Yep. His height. His speed. Even when they blitzed, he got his hands on the ball. The touchdown in this game Jim Johnson sent his guys and it was a nice slant across the middle.

Nice recall Route 9

I now remember that game. Philly had really taken over the division in the early part of the decade. Then Parcells, Coughlin and Gibbs all came in and the East was once again a pretty good division though not like the 80's.

Those were the days

beating Philly, playoff games, opponents 60 yard FGs that missed, and winning more often than losing.

This is why it’s so hard to get to a SB..

Things like this can make or derail a season. So many, many variables..

Plax just owned the Eagles during his run

The previous week was a tough game on the road vs the always redoubtable Rex Grossman, who was the Bears QB at the time.

That comeback showed a lot to me. I thought wow, usually in these predicaments the Giants would blow this but they kept winning close games. Two quiet, early December, road wins helped spring the Giants to the playoffs in 2007.

Yes. It started because he decided to launch himself into Charles Way who was standing on the sideline. Didn't like him before that. Guy was a true Eagle.

Lol. That always reminds me of a woman at a bar stirring shit.

Then she gets beat up right away.

Or that guy who starts shit and then you hold him back and he does the "I'm just an innocent, little, cuddly, panda bear. Don't hurt me."

Then he's immediately throwing fists around again

"I'm just a harmless kicker."

Plax was the Eagle Killer
