Eagles wrap up disappointing season with fun win

Coughlin explained the timing of the gathering as an annual affair where the whole family convenes near the Christmas holiday for the Giants’ final home game.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – The Philadelphia Eagles concluded a disappointing season with a victory by adding an element that had been missing most of the year. Neither Philly or the Giants has a chance at winning the NFC East this season, Washington has it wrapped up and will play a meaningless game in Dallas on Sunday at the same time.

Amnesty International criticised Nimr’s arrest for being part of a campaign by the Saudi authorities to quash all dissent. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was “deeply dismayed” by the executions and called again for an end to the death penalty.

It was a matchup of two teams out of the playoff picture, both facing coaching upheaval.

After all, Superman is not supposed to bleed, much less get knocked out in front of a sold-out crowd that was maybe 30% Canadian. Just when Team Canada thought they had one up, the goal was reviewed and it seemed inconclusive so it was waved off.

While Coughlin was manning the Jacksonville sidelines, they reached the postseason four times (1996-1999) and won division titles in 1998 and 1999. He offered a perfunctory wave to the fans who remained in the arena, where he enjoyed Super Bowl championship seasons in 2007 and 2011 followed by the past four straight seasons of failure to make the playoffs. “A lot of people are talking as if it’s an inevitability that on Monday he is going to resign”.

Sam Bradford, who Kelly acquired from the Rams, threw two short touchdown passes to Jordan Matthews, the last one a 3-yard with 9:19 to play to give the Eagles a 35-27 lead.

“It was tough but it would have been even tougher if we had to go into the offseason with a loss”, said Bradford, who was 30 of 38 for 320 yards. I thought they fought tremendously hard out there. “Sometimes they say, ‘Hey, you want to keep your job?”. Please see our terms of service for more information.

“I’m going to prepare myself and our team as best we can for this game, period”, he said. I was really proud of the guys.

For much of the first half of the season, the Giants’ running game struggled mightily, as they sought to find a balance between Jennings, second-year man Andre Williams and recent free agent acquisition Shane Vereen. Those failures have put Giants coach Tom Coughlin’s job in jeopardy. Josh Brown also made all three of his field goal attempts, including a 48-yarder to cut the deficit to one possession late in the fourth quarter. The Giants don’t get everything right, but I’m betting both sides know how this one will go down: With Coughlin and co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch announcing a mutual and amicable separation in the next few days. However, the Giants turned the ball over on downs at their own 42 with 28 seconds left.

It wasn’t for a lack of trying by the defense, which allowed 170 yards rushing to Rashad Jennings and 505 yards overall.

The Giants got their first lead when Rueben Randle beat Walt Thurmond for a 45-yard scoring reception with 9:11 left in the third quarter. And while Coughlin downplayed that and said everyone was in town for their annual holiday dinner, he spent a lot of time with them all in the back of the news conference room after he was done with the media, and there were many hugs shared and tears shed before the group broke up. The Giants also forced two turnovers – a Jonathan Casillas interception and a George Selvie fumble recovery – that the offense was able to turn into 14 points. Otherwise, though, Manning played well, throwing for 302 yards and two touchdowns on 23-for-43 passing. Meanwhile, the Eagles have the 29-ranked rush defense, yielding 129.7 yards a game.

“Let’s face it – our business is based on hope and things to think about for the future”, Coughlin said.
