NFC Championship: Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals

EAGLES 24-17

 

I've picked the Eagles every year for the past 4 years. Hopefully this time I'm right lol

 

Cardinals at home.. assuming Boldin is back, I'll go Cards 31-30

 

How can you go against the Eagles at this point? Especially considering the fact that out of the Eagles last three playoff games (Giants, Vikings, Cowboys), this not only represents the easiest opponent (talent/experience-wise), but also the least hostile-environment.

That being said, you could say that for any Arizona opponent that they've clocked thus far. And they're actually winning playoff games with their defense/run-game.... something that did not happen in the regular season. If they continue that, they've got all the components necessary to be a truly elite team (we already know their passing game is one of the best).

 

let's not forget that Kurt Warner threw for a billion yards when he was with the Rams.

This Cardinal's receiving group is just as good.

 

I think the Eagles and Cardinals are both above average teams, but this is the worst NFC championship matchup ever.

The first time 2 9-7 teams will face each other for the conference championship...

I either want to say Eagles or Cardinals played over their heads, or the Giants, Panthers, and Falcons were all overrated.

I disagree...the Eagles have been playing some pretty great football in the latter stages of the season, while the Giants had been sleepwalking a bit. The Cardinals looked bad their last few games of the season, but by then they had already locked up the division. And the Panthers i was never quite sold on anyways...so you can't really look at regular season records; it's how you play in January...and every team that has won so far has, in this point in time, been the better team and has played inspired football.

I'm looking forward to this game; two underdogs everybody had written off playing for a spot in the Super Bowl.

 

LETS GO CARDS!




eagles win

 

If Bolden plays, they are better. Bruce was past his prime, and Holt wasn't quite at his prime yet. They still needed guys like Prohel to come up big. Also, lets not forget that Marshall Faulk was the best player in the NFL at the time... and was the biggest reason why those offenses were so dangerous.

Bolden+Fitzgerald may be one of the best WR tandems EVER. They're so equally athletic/talented that each alone makes the passing game dangerous. The real reason why the Cardinals have faltered this year was that their run game was so inconsistent. Now that it has come alive in the playoffs makes their passing game unstoppable.

 

This is a really good match up -- should be an excellent game especially with the Cards at home.

 

Fly eagles fly
On the road to victory
Fight eagles fight
Score those touchdowns 1,2,3
Hit em low, Hit em high
And watch our eagles fly
Fly eagles fly
On the road to victory!

E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!

 

when Bolden went down Steve Breaston picked up the slack and played really well. I know, he helped me big time in fantasy football.

 

Warner and McNabb have huge chips on their shoulders....this is going to be a great game.

 

Mobile QB vs Pocket Passer takes on ESPN starting tomorrow.(or maybe later on tonight)

 

The Eagles were my pick to win the Super Bowl before the playoffs began.

Looks like they're well on their way to doing that.

I'm picking the Ravens to come out of the AFC.

 

I don't know. My gut tells me the Eagles will win but then again I thought Carolina was going smother Arizona. Needless to say, I was way off on that one. The Eagles have that "look" but then again the Cardinals are playing with a chip on their shoulder too. So many weapons and Larry Fitzgerald will likely again be the best player on the field. Anything can happen.
