I had a feeling there would be.. I am just having a tough time getting a flight that fits into my schedule & finding a flight for less than a grand

Its sad for them that they can't sell out the game...there will be a ton of eagle fans there... I remember last year when we played there, the eagle fans took over the city

Yeah its insane how many tickets available... On my other board i know we have at least 2,000 going many of which are bringing more fans so there may a ton of eagle fans there... Last year when I was there there had to be 20,000 eagle fans in the dome..it was wild...

Had Philly been playing in Arizona instead of Minnesota on Wild-Card Weekend, how many Eagle fans would have taken over in the desert?

The eagles fans travel well, most road games there are between 5 & 10,000 iggles fans in attendance..... Last year in minny we easily doubled that

I was in washington, baltimore & at the giants games on the road this year & in all 3 buildings there were estimated to be 5 to 10,000 of us on hand...

The year the eagles went to the superbowl there were 35,000 eagles fans there.. how they managed that was quite amazing with all the corporate BS that happens with the SB

Not unless a Radios and TV Stations chip in.

I know they do that for the Chargers who have some tickets left and need to be paid for so there would be no blackout..

I haven't checked but I don't know if the game is sold out yet.

Yeah I heard that mike..Solomon, you should buy a ticket and go to the game LOL

Wreckless · 12-31-2008, 12:05 PM

Yeah Mike, their were way more Eagles fans then Pats fans at the Superbowl a few years ago....

last time Vikings were in the playoffs, loss to the Eagles in '04 lol...that superbowl year

I do think it will be a good game, with a marquee matchup of McNabb vs Adrian Peterson.

What will the keys to the game be?

Wreckless · 12-31-2008, 12:16 PM

The Keys to the Game will be.

For The Vikings; to stop the Eagles pass and tremendously. The Vikings probably have the best running defense in the NFL, if not in the top 3 in defending the run. Eagles are a prominent passing threat and pass most of the plays, yet they still have Westbrook. Keys for them will be to defend the pass, get turnovers and play safe- Tavaris Jackson, cause he is an unexperienced, average, young QB in a playoff game- his FIRST playoff game, vs. an experienced defense, QB, RB & team.

For the Eagles- I see us stopping Adrian Peterson, we do so last season, he only had 20 some yards rushing and he had a better season last year. But we need to stop him and get pressure on Jackson. If we get 4/5 sacks, a couple rushes, knockdowns and more vs. Jackson, we will be fine. I see this kid fumbling and getting nervous like Romo does, if you put pressure on them.

I think the game will be won & lost in the trenches... Can the eagles contain Jared Allen... That man is an absolute beast... He is one of those rare defensive ends that you have to gameplan around. I am hoping TRA THOMAS can handle the job, because the thought of LJ smith trying to block him scares the heck out of me....rumor has it pat williams vows he is going to play sunday, I am not so sure thats a good idea for him..He may hurt the team more than help them... I admire his courage but......

The vikings have a difficult time stopping the pass, but they are very very good against the run... I have watched a few vikes games this year & they really have trouble when a team spreads them out & thats what I expect the eagles to do sunday.... Again I think the game will be won in the trenches... Peterson & westbrook will get their yards, mcnabb will throw the ball all over the place...

My feeling is this... If we can contain the front 4 of the vikings I feel the eagles will win the game, if we can't anything is possible.... Right now our defense is playing the kind of defense that wins championships... I need another effort like last sunday.....
