No.10

DeSean’s line from last night: 6 rec, 178 yds, 1 TD.  2 punt returns, 83 yds, 1 TD.  Ridiculous. 

With DeSean Jackson’s 72-yard punt return and 60-yard TD catch from Donovan, No.10 high-stepped his way into the record books with 8 TD’s of 50+ yards on the season, tying the NFL record.  Again, ridiculous. 

The only player in recent memory I can remember being this exciting in Philadelphia would have to be Brian Westbrook in his prime, but I have a feeling DeSean is on his way to surpassing B-West in the excitement catergory.  Every time the ball is in his hands you have to hold your breath – punt returns, open field receptions, end around runs – all oppurtunities for magic to happen.  I would compare the ball in Jackson’s hands to a Ryan Howard at-bat – you’re just waiting for the fireworks.  His burst of speed from a dead stop is unmatched, Chris Johnson’s got nothing on No.10. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more electrifying player in the NFL today, I honestly cannot think of anyone – I challenge you to name someone more dangerous right now. The future is bright for the offense in Philly, with D-Jax, Celek, Maclin and McCoy all barely legal, this squad should be lighting up scoreboards for years to come.

The offensive explosion last night, particularly DeSean’s performance, reignited my passion for the Eagles.  This season has been odd for me, in that I haven’t felt the excitement I typically associate with a Sunday game, but after last night I’m back.  I know it’s just one game, but I feel like maybe this is the spark the Eagles needed to finish out the season and head in to the playoffs on fire. How does everyone else feel about the season after last night’s show? How do you see the Birds finishing up this season? Let’s hear it.  GO BIRDS!
