Dean Jackson sinks the Giants

It's pretty easy to surmise they'll be talking about that one in New York for quite some time.

Maybe forever.

The Herman Edwards game remains on the mind of Giants fans, so why not this one on Sunday, a collapse worthy of the "epic" moniker? The Eagles scored 28 points in the final 7:28 to wipe out a 31-10 deficit and beat the Giants, 38-31. Worse, the Eagles won on a last-play punt return by DeSean Jackson, who fast is becoming one of the league's most dangerous players.

The whys will be discussed forever. Why the Giants weren't ready for an onside kick (they didn't think it was coming). Why the Giants punted to Jackson at all (rookie mistake). Why they lost contain on Mike Vick (hey ... he's Vick). Why they blew a game they had no business losing and Philadelphia had no business winning. Among the fallout:

o.Giants coach Tom Coughlin berated rookie punter Matt Dodge on the field after he failed to kick out of bounds and gave Jackson a chance to win the game, which of course Jackson did.
