Seriously, an eagle against a cardinal? That's like no contest. Eagles have talons and a sharp beak for killing and ripping flesh. Cardinals can't even defend the bird feeder from squirrels. Psssh!
Here's a thread to discuss the Eagles game. I'll throw up another thread for the Steelers game just before kickoff.

Eagles keys to victory
Offense:
1) McNabb off to a quick start—no deflections or short-hop throws
2) Westbrook early—last two playoff games, 21 carries on 1st and 10, 31 yds. Need more production on 1st down
3) Execute goal-to-go situations…no FGs in ths potential shoot-out
Defense:
1) Pass rush, pass rush, pass rush—Give Warner time, he’ll be successful against any defense.
2) Respect the run: james and Hightower have given the Cards’ running game new life. Pay too much attention to the pass and before you know it the RBs are getting 5, 6 yds per pop.
3) Hit the WRs…Fitzgerald and Boldin are going to get their catches. Hit them and restrict the YAC.
Prediction: Eagles get a key defensive turnover late in the game to preserve a 24-20 win.

FLY EAGLES FLY!

Let's go Cardinals...Lets go Cardinals
Levi Brown vs. the team that cut Tony Hunt.
Fall Eagles, Fall.
A tie
They would both be found laying in bloody pools. Each with an arm and a leg mysteriously missing.

"Andy Reid had a look of concern"
Yeah, he couldn’t find his chicken leg. Hahaha?

frightens me…
"From here on out, the Steelers are bird exterminators. It doesn't matter if it's the Ravens, Eagles, or Cardinals." ~random Steeler Fan!
i can't help but be amazed by him...
….some of the catches he’s made…it’s unstoppable.

Be happy that he’s the only star NFL player Pitt has produced in the last 20 years.

Yes, you should
He hated Pitt so much he left as soon as he possibly could. Hey, we all make mistakes.

That roughing the passer the penalty was crap

They are making this..
look easy. Take away that one penalty and its 21-3. State College avoids another riot due to the all PA Superbowl.

Why me?
First PSU gets blown out then the Eagles. If it weren’t for the Phillies being WFC, it would not be my postseason year.
This game is over
Nice run by the Iggles, but the same team that dropped inexcusable games to Cincy (yes, I know it was a tie) and Washington later showed up today. Andy Reid, again, has some serious questions to answer about the team’s inability to run the ball, stop the run or make a big play.

Spoke too soon...
Looks like we have a game.

I have confidence
They’re the Eagles. They’ll snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Here we go
The pressure is on McNabb now. Is there any doubt he’ll fail?
I betcha bucks he pukes in the huddle again.

I wanna hear some booing, baby!

Totally
But don’t feel bad for him. He’ll go back to the sideline, do his funny robot dance to cheer up his teammates, and everything will be ok.

Nice
An overthrow and a throw behind the reciever Morelli-style. Love ya, Donny.

Speaking of the chosen one...
The Cards signed him as an undrafted free agent…man, what could have been…if only he’d gotten a break, #14 could be leading the Cards to the SUPER BOWL!!
GO CARDS, GO! GO CARDS, GO!

Shucks
Would’ve liked to see an all-Pennsylvania Super Bowl.
But in the end, it’s really quite satisfying to see McNabb and the Eagles choke out again in the NFC Championship.

Thank you, sir

This game should have been in Phila
Rule chane: The higher seed gets home field. The Cardinals won 6 of their 9 games vs 3 teams that were awful. How the fuck are they hosting a conference championship game?
Eagles Hate
Reading this brought back too many memories at bars in State College.
As Penn State fans during away games, nothing but love.
Come Sunday, the intrastate war began.
I only wish Baltimore won. I will not root for the Cardinals, and there’s no way I’m being one of “yinz” rooting for the Steelers.
I suppose I’ve gained another weekend of skiing in the Poconos.
