View Full Version : EAGLES are going to the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 06:21 PM 23-11 win over the Giants today. We stopped the run overall, stopped Eli and only held their offense to around 6-9 points, with 2 more points for the Giants on a defensive safety.
Great game defensively. SAMUELS had a pick, almost took it to the house, 2 yards short, then gave us the TD.
Buckhalter, Kevin Curtis & Jackson had a nice game. Great game by Stewart Bradley, Akim Jordan and the defensive line.
Sheldon Brown had a couple nice, big hits in the cold weather.
I'm so impressed with the play and kicking of David Akers recently. He kicked a couple FGs and extra points into the wind for a good amount of time in the game today. Hey, it wasn't pretty, and I don't have much to say, but we're in the NFC Championship game, vs. the Cardinals in Arizona!
Normally I would congratulate the opponent on a well fought game, but well, hell, I HATE THE GIANTS, so screw them, their stadium, their pink ass coach & their franchise. WE WON today. Looks like that NFC East title didn't mean **** for you, Midgets.
Anyways, great game for the Birds today. Next Sunday, the Championship game at Arizona, for a trip to the Super Bowl!
I'm pumped. Let's Go Eagles. Anybody else think this game was rather odd? A lot of penalties, weird plays. Plus, 23-11 is a weird score for a game anyway.
GARFIELDKOOL 01-11-2009, 06:22 PM It's possible. I don't know if I should take the Cardinals seriously, but they are still alive, and they knocked off a good Panthers team in their house.
Big C 01-11-2009, 06:24 PM Couple of things to say, and I won't say any stupid stuff:
1. This will be only the second time ever the Eagles play an NFC Title game on the road. To my knowledge, they played in 4 NFC Title games at home (1981, 2003-2005).
2. This will be the second year in a row the NFC Title game is a rematch of a regular-season game
Also:
Which of Philly's pass-catchers is the most important player? In other words, who is the one guy who you would say, "McNabb MUST get him the ball."
Big C 01-11-2009, 06:25 PM Anybody else think this game was rather odd? A lot of penalties, weird plays.
Don't forget the wind and field-goal follies for the Giants.
If anything, it reminds me of their December game- low-scoring, cold, lots of toughness.
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 06:28 PM Yeah Chris, the 4 games we had at home, we lost 3 of them LOL. I am fine with going on the road for an NFC Championship game lol, think about it.
And Mike, I agree. Cardinals are a great team that no one took seriously, and they ended up beating the Cardinals, by a lot. But I will also say we beat the number 1 seed. They beat the number 2 seed. Not taking anything away from them or talking crap, just pointing out. I think the next game could go either way.
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 06:30 PM Which of Philly's pass-catchers is the most important player? In other words, who is the one guy who you would say, "McNabb MUST get him the ball."
I don't know how Arizona offense operates. From the Carolina game, I will say that D has to get it to Jason Avant. He is a short yardage, maneuvering, good WR.
Big C 01-11-2009, 06:35 PM I'm going to talk about a few key matches on both sides:
1. Both teams have some very good offensive lives, which can be tested by some defensive players that are a threat to make sacks (Trent Cole, Carlos Dansby). Also, there are big-play defensive players (Asante Samuel, Antrel Rolle, Dominique Rogers-Cromartie) that have the ability to change a game's outcome. How important is O-Line protection and big-play defensive stars going to be?
2. Both teams are not well-known for having superstar tight ends. How important will it be for them to get the ball?
3. Both teams have superb kickers- Akers and Rackers. Could the kicking game decide the winner?
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 06:36 PM We have no superstar tight ends lol.
LJ is horrible and Celek dropped like 100 balls today.
But yeah, I agree with your assessment of next week's game.
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 06:37 PM Another important factor is if Boldin plays next week. I doubt he will, especially since he didn't play one minute of last night's divisional game.
Big C 01-11-2009, 06:47 PM BTW, you need to make a signature change. It still says "Go Eagles- vs. Vikings."
Obviously, that needs to be changed to Cardinals
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 06:48 PM Yeah, it will be changed and fixed. I changed my avatar to Donovan.
DVDFreaker 01-11-2009, 07:31 PM Congrations Eagle fans!!!!!! The Eagles will make it to the Superbowl, it would be cool to see the Eagles win the Superbowl the same year that the Philles won the World Series, just like Boston Celtics and Red Sox won last year and at least I could say, at least the Vikings gotten defeated by a Superbowl Championship team, hopefully it's the Vikings turn next year...the Vikings just need a franchise Quarterback...

Thank you sir. That would be awesome if we won it all. Yeah I was thinking the same thing, as far as the Vikings-Eagles are concerned. 2 rings in one year would be amazing. You have a great team. Just take care of your QB situation and you're good. Good luck to the Vikings next year DVDFreaker!! Hope to see you guys in the playoffs in 2010 as well.
Big C 01-11-2009, 07:38 PM the Vikings just need a franchise Quarterback
The Vikings will regret not signing Pennington.
If he could play that well on Miami, imagine what he could have done with Adrian Peterson!
DVDFreaker 01-11-2009, 07:40 PM Thank you sir. That would be awesome if we won it all.

Thanks dude, good luck next week!!!
DVDFreaker 01-11-2009, 07:42 PM The Vikings will regret not signing Pennington.

I don't think the Vikings were even interested in Pennington, even I thought Pennington is overrated, I rather have a rookie quarterback starting than Pennington starting for the Vikings but that is just me
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 07:42 PM Thanks dude, good luck next week!!!
Thanks brother. I appreciate it.
TVFactFan 01-11-2009, 08:01 PM Another Interesting Stat is the Last playoff Game that Mcnabb lost on the Road was to a kurt warner QB Team
jan 19, 2002
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 08:13 PM I forgot about that Rams-Eagles NFC Champs. game. Great game btw.
TVFactFan 01-11-2009, 08:33 PM I forgot about that Rams-Eagles NFC Champs. game. Great game btw.
I remember being confused at that time becauase I thought the Rams were so much better than the Eagles and expected a ROUT, 34-10 but the Eagles almost beat them.
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 08:36 PM Yeah. Remember Marshall Faulk? lol.
Seems like he hasn't been around for 10 years, since he retired.
TVFactFan 01-11-2009, 08:51 PM Yeah. Remember Marshall Faulk? lol.
Seems like he hasn't been around for 10 years, since he retired.
I remember the Rams not PASSING at all in the 3rd quarter and gave it to Marshall on every down-lol
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 08:52 PM Yeah. I wonder who they're QB was before Kurt Warner in 1998-1999. I remember his name but can't put my finger on it.
catlover79 01-11-2009, 08:56 PM It'll be fun watching John Melendez (Tonight Show announcer) have his head shaved tomorrow on camera because he lost the bet he and Kevin Eubanks had going. (If the Giants had one, Kevin would've had to shave his mustacehe). :lol:
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 08:58 PM Yay for the Eagles winning...
TVFactFan 01-11-2009, 08:59 PM Yeah. I wonder who they're QB was before Kurt Warner in 1998-1999. I remember his name but can't put my finger on it.
Trent Green
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 09:04 PM Trent Green
Really? I didn't know he was a Ram before KC, yet alone a starter before 2002-2003 lol.
TVFactFan 01-11-2009, 09:07 PM Really? I didn't know he was a Ram before KC, yet alone a starter before 2002-2003 lol.
Yeah that's how kurt got his opportunity because trent green was hurt in preseason before the start of 99 season
Wreckless 01-11-2009, 09:09 PM Yeah that's how kurt got his opportunity because trent green was hurt in preseason before the start of 99 season
Oh ok. Interesting :crazy:. Thanks for the info Solomon.
Big C 01-11-2009, 09:14 PM I remember Trent Green in K.C.
In 2003, the Chiefs were AWESOME.
As strange as it sounds today, they had a legit shot to make the Super Bowl.
Hell, I predicted the Eagles would play the Chiefs in that year's Super Bowl!
