Winner goes on to play New England in the Superbowl.Please post your game thoughts and comments here
Yeah me too, I love how the kid runs. Its exciting and I'm looking to get a solid sleeper in my re-draft next year.As a neutral observer I'd like to see D Foster have a big game (keeper league owner). However I'm not optimistic, and I've got a feeling he'll rush for something like 55 yards on 16 carries.
Under. I'm going with 8 unless McNabb really screws up.O/U on the amount of pages to this thread: 11 pages
Geesh, what does the loser get? TWO weeks in Cleveland?!?Winner goes on to play New England in the Superbowl.
I thought they were saying RUUUUUBEN...Booing the singer of the national anthem.Really classy, Philly, real classy. You've outdone yourself this time.
He just gained 9 yards.Any news on Stephen Davis?

If somebody searches last week's Colts - Chiefs game thread, will they find any comments by you saying something like "these playoff teams just can't play defense"? Your opinions change as fast as a windstocking in a tornado.The NFL is going downhill. TOO. MUCH. DEFENSE.![]()
So? We're down to the final three teams and they all are defensive in nature with decent to mediocre offenses. Don't forget, this is a copycat league. GMs will be looking at the trends and ALL want to build teams like this. The NFL could start to suck really fast.If somebody searches last week's Colts - Chiefs game thread, will they find any comments by you saying something like "these playoff teams just can't play defense"?

How bout those Philly pro-bowlers!Man, that coverage was ugly.
Building great defenses to do really well in the playoffs is nothing new. The saying in pretty much every sport is defense wins championships.So?

No crying or whining in football.Nice of that guy to dive in and headbutt McNabb in the sack after he was down.
That's a nice saying, but hardly true. Offense won championships in the 1990s in the NFL. But that's definitely changed now. The other side of that phrase that IS true is offense sells tickets. Casual fans don't typically look at a good defense and appreciate it - they interpret it as poor offense. If this trend continues, I would NOT be surprised at all to see the NFL's popularity begin to slump. edit: Fans don't get excited to see a duel of punters, nor Jake Delhomme vs Quincy Carter.Building great defenses to do really well in the playoffs is nothing new.

Might have been nice for the refs to blow the play dead, too. Not sure what the Panther LB was supposed to do when McNabb is sitting there and nobody's whistling the play down.Nice of that guy to dive in and headbutt McNabb in the sack after he was down.
I was hoping he'd at least throw a TD pass so we could see that dance.The bad iggles just got worse. Detmer in the game.
Exactly, it wasn't blown dead until he was just about on top of him. Collinsworth is a moron for saying he jumped on him 3 seconds after the whistle.......Might have been nice for the refs to blow the play dead, too.

I think the biggest problem with the team is they don't have any playmakers BESIDES McNabb. Now he's hobbled, and they have very little life remaining.I like the gameplan by the Panthers. Contain McNabb and let him try to beat you with his arm. He simply isn't an accomplished passer and is kinda being exposed in this game. But we'll see if he steps up in the second half.
