Checkin' In
Just want to check in briefly today - getting ready to play an important game against the Giants.Last week's game in Minnesota was a good win. I think the key on offense was that we were able to move the ball, convert a few important third downs and were able to change field position. Ultimately, the 71-yard screen pass to Brian Westbrook broke the Vikings backs. That was a great...
EaglesFanCast 48 - Viking Stomp
Three Philadelphia Eagles fans, season ticket holders past and present. We get together each week and talk about our favorite football team in typical midnight green and silver style. Each has our own perspective on being a fan. Eric and Chuck live in South Jersey and have season tickets together, and Todd now lives in L.A. We talk about the normal ups and downs, being a fan wherever...
This is Why We Love Adrian Peterson…
?cause just when you?re starting to get down on the guy over fumbles and injuries - boom, 40 yards, touchdown, Vikings lead 7-6.? So far, Tarvaris Jackson is handling Philly?s pressure very well too and is delivering the ball.? And the defense has made some big plays to hold the Eagles to two ...
Eagles RB Brian Westbrook Still Dealing With Sore Knee
Eagles head coach Andy Reid insists that ?it?s no different than it has been all year,? but noted Giant killer Brian Westbrook is battling a sore...
Some Redemption for Reid and a Few Birds
If we're going to point the finger around here, we must also shower the deserving with praise when it's their time. Andy Reid's gameplan against the Vikings will likely linger in the shadows left by the many stellar performances that made the Eagles win possible, but it wouldn't be fair after all the criticism leveled upon the head coach.
Roller Coaster
Being a Vikings fan this year meant being on a roller coaster, not just from one game to the next but most of the time one play to the next.? And this has been no different today?except that the highs and lows feel even higher and lower because it?s a playoff game.? The lowest point so far was ...
Vikings blame weather for playoff loss
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Meeting the media after their disappointing 26-14 playoff loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, members of the Minnesota Vikings readily acknowledged the sloppiness of their game, but were unwilling to take the full blame for their collapse.
“Did we make mistakes? Sure we did, no question about it,” much-maligned Vikings quarterback Tarvaris Jackson said. [...]
Eagles OL Mike McGlynn Tears Hamstring Against Vikings
Reserve offensive lineman Mike McGlynn, who plays mainly on special teams, tore a hamstring against the Vikings. Reid sure wouldn't mind plugging...
Eagles Handle the Playoff Pressue in the Twin Cities Just Fine
The Eagles and the Vikings both came out of the tunnels raring to take each other on. Both squads had properly done their homework, as both teams were forced to punt on their opening possessions. It was obvious that this game would be a matter of who made the first mistake. The [...]

Eagles playoff victory leads way to the Meadowlands
McNabb didn't play his greatest, but it was good enough along with the Eagles D to move on to the divisional round. The last time we played the Giants, we won by a last second field goal. But that was before the Giants SB victory and their 12-4 season this year. We also beat the giants 20-14 the last time we met in the regular season as that was the beginning to this miraculous journey...
Here We Go Again
Eagles-Giants, part trois. It seems only fitting that for the Eagles to continue their unlikely late-season surge they must dispatch Big Blue for a second time in a month. For all the hype Eagles-Cowboys gets every year, in reality it’s the G-Men who have given the Eagles their most trouble during the Reid/McNabb era.
Reid is [...]
Why Do We Have to Play the Eagles Again?
This could have been so easy. Minnesota could have won, we could have smoked Arizona, and set up a show down with Carolina in the NFC championship game. Or maybe Minnesota could have shocked the world and beat Carolina! We could have had a pretty much free pass to the Super
But no. Brian ...
As Playoffs Begin, a Vote of Confidence for McNabb From His Boss
There's been a lot of speculation as to whether Donovan McNabb will be back with the Eagles for the 2009 season, most of which has been quieted by the team destroying the Cowboys and making the playoffs in surprising fashion. Now, a story on Jeffrey Lurie in today's Boston Globe tips the scales ...
