IT HAS BEEN SAID that those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. Thus, as the Eagles prepare to wind their way through the swamps of New Jersey toward an NFC Divisional Playoff at the Meadowlands, we must remember the last time they made this trek at this time of year. The temperature hovered around freezing; the turf was hard; in the background, above the rim of the stadium, the Twin Towers rose into a slate-gray sky.

Hugh Douglas was there that day - the seventh of January, the year 2001 - and even now, his voice rises in agitation as he recounts its events. The pregame video clip on the giant scoreboard that showed an animated Giant squashing Rocky Balboa with his foot. The long-forgotten specialist who returned the opening kickoff for a Giants touchdown (Ron Dixon). The interception by Jason Sehorn that sealed the Eagles' fate in their first divisional playoff game - and their first road playoff game - under Andy Reid.
