This is it...if they wanna play in the Superbowl...
I am not underestimating the Cardinals..but from the other teams that made it in the beginning...they would have been everybodies choice..

Larry Fitz, scares the living daylight out of me though...(what could have been if he actually got traded to the Eagles ay)

I'd expect a relatively high scoring game in that dome with both offense unleashing the pass game.

We beat the Cards in Philly on Thanksgiving when they were down, Arizona is a completely different team from a few months ago.

Just a matter of Andy and D-Mac not playing conservative.

Lets make this happen. An eagles and steelers/ravens superbowl would be a spectacle for sure.

The one thing that worries me is that our secondary has not been tested much in the last two games and this game they are gonna be relied on.

If Donovan is on, and our defense plays how it has been all year we can go to the bowl baby!

That is true...but we are also able to (in theory) protect against the pass more..as the Cardinals run game cannot be compared to the G-Men and Vikings..

On Offense...even though there D is playing out of there minds in the last 2 games...I still think the Vikings and Giants D are better..

Larry FItz does scare the living daylights out of me though..

we'll have to see if boldin is playing as well. if not, i like our chances of winning. if he is, we better hope their run game doesn't get going. slowing down the pass attack in their home is the name of the game. i think we should also look to get westbrook involved early on, because their defense isn't able to stop a team that can both run and pass. in the first game of the playoffs, they beat the falcons who tried to win with the run. in the second round, the panthers threw themselves out of it (i think Jake had 6 or 7 picks). Keep control of the ball, keep westbrook in it, and slow their pass game a little and we should be in tampa for the 'bowl.

Crazy.
I didn't even think we had a chance to make the playoffs after the Baltimore game and here we are 1 game away from a possible Super Bowl.

The sickest thing is I predicted either a Philly/Pittsburgh or Carolina/Pittsburgh Super Bowl before the season started, no BS and now it has a very legitimate shot of happening.

If it's a high-scoring game, we're going to lose.

^^ no doubt. the defense will need to keep it close, and the offense will have to finish.

I think Akers could be the guy who makes or breaks this game for us. I mean yeah he's a kicker but I think he's the best in the league. The guy has Steve Austin's foot, I saw footage of him hitting 60 yarders in pregame warm up's that's insane.

I am so pumped for this game!!!!!!!! I can't wait I hope we crush the damn Cards.

I agree with you XBL..Before the last 8 or so games..he was on a downward spiral the last 18 months..and I wanted him out...
But he has been back to his best..
One thing about rackers (which I find)..he isnt that good when it counts..he is an overrated kicker (When you also consider the fact that he plays in a dome)..so..

Anyways..anybody excited?!?!less than 24 hours baby!

T-minus 30 minutes!
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

Donovan McNabb needs to be traded!

No matter what...

Be proud of what these guys accomplished.. to the last play of the game.

Arizona played one heck of a game.. good luck to them the rest of the way.

Dont hang your heads.. we showed we have heart. The most important thing you could ever ask for. Never short of effort.

Fly Eagles Fly

From a Redskin fan: The Eagles played hard, played well, and most of all were very gracious in defeat.

McNabb and the rest of those guys hugging Cardinal players after that game was awesome.

Philly came back strong. Arizona just had that long drive at the end, as Philly had done to them all second half.

One of the best football games I've ever seen.

One of the best games till the refs decided the outcome. While I don't think the Eagles should have been in a position to be screwed, if they had showed up to play in the 1st half, game is a blow out. And despite the obvious pass interference, Curtis should have still been able to catch that ball.

Same old, same old. Receivers drop balls.

Maybe this off season, the team will develop some intelligence and bring in a great receiver.

This was such a heartbreaking loss...
Hopefully we can get a reciever...Hopefully Q-Tip Esque
