    I don't give a crap who wins, but I need Culpepper and Westbrook to combine for just 2 points to take my fantasy matchup this week.

    I need Westbrook to score twice and have about 120 yards rushing. That and Moss to do ****.

    IOW, I'm screwed.

    Good match. But basically you have a superbowl contender up against a team that has done nothing. So the smart pick would be on Philly.

    I have a 10 point lead, facing Akers + Philly D tonight.

    I need Minny's offense to step up. Philly can score a couple TDs, but NO field goals, damnit!

    I am down 8 points with Westbrook playing for me and Owens playing for my opponent.

    The bad thing is that I am a HUGE Eagles fan so this is tough for me.

    I want the Eagles to win, I'd take a loss in fantasy football any day rather than to see the Eagles lose. Most people have been choosing the Vikes by a couple though.

    I'm worried. I'm up by 16 points, but my opponent has T.O. going for him tonight. Hopefully they can hold him to just one TD and about 60 yards.

    Has the NFL ever been more unpredictable from week to week? I don't think so. Certainly not in my lifetime.

    Never ever ever. It's completely ridiculous. It's great for excitement and the average fan around the league. Not so good for fans of former dynastic teams like the 49ers. :(

    I like Minny.

    Both teams should be moving up and down the field, but Minny has a better and more oppertunistic defense.

    The only think that concerns me is it is at Phily. Sometimes Minny can be a jekel and hyde team with hyde showing up on the road.

    I voted for the Iggles.

    just a feeling, no specific reason.

    I have McNabb. My opponent (rimbaud) has Moss and a Minny defender. I need the Eagles' air attack to come up big.

    damn the vikings offensive and defensive lines were completely inept tonight...... they got there butts completely kicked

    that Duante fumble really hurt, as did the decision not to challenge the TO catch

    The Duante fumble was a bad one but the T.O. catch ;) and not challenging it was even bigger in my opinion. That was clearly not even a catch but either one put the Vikings down a TD so it could go to either one. The Eagles D was good though, those goaline stops were simply great and they put the pressure on Culpepper all night and while the Vikings did a good job at putting the pressure on McNabb, is it just me or does McNabb seem A LOT more agile than Culpepper? I guess that could also be due to Culpepper's size.


    Oh well, victory is the Eagles...on to Detroit.

    The Iggles played real well. Minny's offensive players and coaching staff were just in one big 60 minute brain fart.

    2 main themes to take from yesterday: 1) Same ole Vikes, when things get tough and the stake rise, the Vikes go run and hide. 2) Looks like this NFL year shaping up as another classic where the Iggles get to collapse in the NFC championship game in front of their home buffoons.
