BigJoe Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 After I saw what happened last night to a team with a high powered offense and no defense (Rams) to a team with a very good defense (Falcons), I see the Eagles winning this game. People like to talk about offense, but this time of year it's usually about who has the better D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chet06 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I have some V Chips on the Vikings baby...Unless the refs cause the Vikings to lose due to a league mandate (I am a big believer in NFL conspiracies, heck look at the calls we got this season) the Vikes will win. The Eagles will have a let down without TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating the Pack in Lambeau is hardly the feat it used to be. The Eagles team two years ago is a worse team than the team they have now, so I don't see the relevance.

pr11fan Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Originally posted by Westbrook36 Minn will be tougher tomorrow than Atlanta. Philly really lucked out getting these two pansy dome teams coming to the Linc. I'm pumped. Kinda like how they lucked out having that pansy team from Florida who couldn't win in the cold having to come up to Philly. :laugh: Atl will be a tough test for Philly whether you want to admit it or not, especially without TO. And Kearse will not keep up with Vick, guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Just tuned in. Vikes seem to be getting some nice runs. Could help open things up for the pass, later. (And might help keep the Eagles sitting down.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Vikes suck. NO DF at all. Hopefully, the Falcs can give them a game. It should be alot closer than this one. This game is history and the 2nd Q just started. Gezzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballhenry Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 its amazing how lucky the eagles are...and its amazing at how much preferential treatment they get by the refs....sorry but you CANT convince me that they get the benefit of the doubt all the time.

EagleSteve Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Originally posted by footballhenry its amazing how lucky the eagles are Yup. 14 wins = luck. I think overall the Vikes got some of the better calls - such as Culpeper's obvious fumble. True, the Eagles got a bounce in the endzone, but then they got a bad bounce later on in the game that cost a TD. Seems like things evened out to me. And as far as holding goes, a lot of it wasn't called on the Vikes throughout the game. They held early and often and were only called a couple of times. I guess that's how the refs are letting them play this year, since mugging receivers is no longer allowed. The Vikings were "lucky" to be within 13. If the Eagles make as many mistakes next week, they will probably lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousB15 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I just want to say in general, I think that the rule that a fumble in the endzone that goes to the other team is terrible. Turnovers are only second to td's in their importance, and whenever I've seen that rule be used, it always seems wrong. It doesn't seem right that a team that didn't actually recover a fumble, still gets the ball. As for the Rams/Vikings game. Its amazing how poor tacklers, the Rams are. Thats why I wanted them initially instead of the Vikings, although the Vikings didn't scare me either. Warrick Dunn should have never had those long gains, I can't see that happening again. That being said the Falcons are a much better team, but I think the eagles will be able to keep Vick within check. The only mobile quarterback thats really had success against the eagles this year was.... Jeff Garcia. I'd be really excited if they could make Mike Vick play quarterback. Overall, Culpepper is scarier then him. Its just those one time situations.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 For all his faults, Westbrook36 does talk big "before" a game.... not just after a win.... and he didn't disappear from sight the last couple weeks when Philly lost, only to return now.
