Oh my god.....please don't remind me of him.......

I believe they held him to about 6 rushes for 30 yards. He took some hard hits in that game, the most famous being in my avatar when his TD run was called back due to a holding penalty.

If it ends up being Eagles-Steelers, the game should be moved from Jacksonvlle to Beaver Stadium at Penn State. Think about it, huge stadium in the middle of Pennsylvania(I think Philly and Pittsburgh are probably both halfway from it), split the tickets 50-50 between the two teams and play the game there. It'd be an awesome way to have the All-Pennsylvania Super Bowl.

Anyone calling for Reid's firing is a complete idiot, I mean do they REMEMBER Marion Campbell or Richie Kotite?

There is no way that last year's defense was better than this year's defense. The run defense is much improved, and dare I say the pass defense is better with Lito Sheppard and Sheldon Brown rather than the old(Troy Vincent) and injured(Bobby "The Blanket" Taylor) CBs and a much better pass rush with Kearse as a DE along with Trotter being much better than Simoneau at MLB.

I know you're a Bucs fan so I'll ask you a question about defense. Do you think we'll see Jim Johnson the Eagles' defensive coordinator copy a lot of what the Bucs did against Vick back in December when they shut out Atlanta? Simeon Rice has done extremely well against Vick in the past and Jevon Kearse is very similar to Rice, so I think Johnson will use Kearse in a lot of different positions against Vick.

Freddie was on NBC 10's Sports Final last night, and Eskin gave him a replica of the Big Gold Belt.

The key is the offensive line. If they give McNabb the same amount of time to sit back in the pocket as they did last week, he'll shred the Falcons secondary. It'll be much tougher this time as Kerney and Coleman are going to be quite a challenge to block.

Eagles-Patriots would be quite the matchup as well, pitting what are considered to be the two top organizations in the NFL(ownership, management, coaching-wise) in the NFL's top game. Think of the coaching matchups as well: Reid and Childress vs. Belichick and Crennel and Jim Johnson vs. Charlie Weis.

We don't need ESPN spending two weeks fighting amongst themselves to see who gets to blow Michael Vick next.

I saw his postgame press conference, he was being sarcastic.

Pats: 1) Belichick will definitley have a gameplan for Roethlisberger, especially the second time. 2) They're the defending champs and I think they have a huge advantage if its close. Eagles: 1)The run defense has proven itself to be in good shape. Never mind the fact that the Eagles historically have done extremely well against Warrick Dunn(look at the 2000 and 2001 games against him as proof. 2) I'm not worried about Vick. Jim Johnson will probably copy the Bucs game plan from the 27-0 shutout a month ago. Kearse is very similar to Simeon Rice, someone who has dominated Vick over the years. If they force Vick to throw most of the game, that'll shut down the Falcon offense. 3) The Eagles special teams are not the Rams special teams. I'll give Akers the edge over Feely since this game is being played outside. Weather reports are also calling for 30 degrees and snow, which might hurt the Falcons since they're a dome team.

January 15th: New York Jets at Pittsburgh Steelers St.Louis Rams at Atlanta Falcons January 16th: Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots Predict and discuss....

Belichick is just a great coach, plain and simple.

I guess now Peyton Manning has assumed the #1 spot in "Biggest Chokers" over Greg Norman, the Atlanta Braves, and the Minnesota Vikings.

Yeah I think the Eagles probably would've won that game had Vincent not been hurt in the week before. I think those 2 games(NFC Championship and Super Bowl) proved Martz to be extremely incompetent.

I remember watching that game and wondering why Reid wasn't running the ball more in the second half when Martz was in the middle of his brain fart refusing to run the ball with Faulk. However, Buckhalter was hurt in the second half and he had been gashing the Rams defense before his injury. I also wouldn't really call that a chokejob considering the Eagles were nearly 17 point underdogs in that game and still almost won considering Troy Vincent was hurt and they were in the dome, where the Rams were killing teams.

I'd say 2002 was more of a chokejob.

Manning must think he's playing Florida again.

Carolina was a much better team than people gave them credit for. Nevermind the fact that the recievers totally crapped out. All I know is now I can relax and watch the Colts-Pats game now that the Birds have won.

Especially next week would be a real stunner if they lose, because I really believe they can beat the Falcons. They've done really well against Dunn in the past and I think Vick is beatable in an environment that he'll be in next week. BTW Dama who's that in your avatar now? Rhett Bomar?

Dunno. It'd be a MAJOR heartbreaker.

Now you all can finally understand my avatar.

That was a stupid play by McNabb at the end, Eagles lost 3 points out of it. Kahran brought up a very good point about rust last week. I think its not affecting the Eagles here, but it very well could next week.

I won't be going, wasn't able to get the tickets. I'm thinking I might go scour EBay for tickets next week if they win tomorrow, I definitley need to go to a playoff game since I've never been to one before.
