The Vikings are favored to beat the Birds this coming Sunday. Then again, the Falcons were favored to beat them last Sunday.

Go Vikes

The Eagles will have their hands full. It would be different if Wentz was healthy.

If Wentz was healthy, the Eagles would not only be favored to beat the Vikings, but Patriots too.

These NFL guys are p*u*s*s*i*e*s , tape him up and send him in.

I think he blew his knee out. He'd have to run on one leg. I guess at that, he might be better than some quarterbacks were this season.

SKOL Vikings

Come on birdies!

Fly Eagles

Takeaways were a big part of the Eagles’ defensive success this season. Philadelphia forced 31 turnovers this season, which ranked fourth in the league, and they registered a takeaway in all 13 of their regular-season wins (though they didn’t get one in the victory over Atlanta on Saturday). If the Eagles can intercept Keenum once or twice Sunday, they’ll put the Vikings in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable situation.

Vikings will fold like a cheap card table

3 No Name Quarterbacks backs left....and 2 of them play each other in this matchup. This will come down to turnovers and special teams....cus neither QB can move the ball. Vikings blew their lucky load last week....Philly moves on .....

Any team but Boston!

Eagles will get beat like a rented mule, Jags will beat up on the Pats offense something fierce. The Vikes game should have never come down to the end the way it did. Poor clock management by the coach. The Vikes learned they can get lucky and win the big game just like every other team has done. SKOL VIKES.

Hope the EASTERN side of the state can come through...

Go Eagles!

Sounds like you're a New Yorker

I'm curious to see how bad the Vikings will be humiliated.

LOL, Nope just don't want Boston to have 6 Super Bowls like my STEELERS do!!!!!!

i think they will be suprised how cordial the Eagles fans are.

The fans get to play too? The Vikes might get beat but not humiliated, 30 points would be humiliating. Anyone want to bet?

I preppy punk from Milwaukee of all places bashing New Yorkers

Talking heads say MN is a team of destiny. MN have been playing indoors all year because its too cold for their wittle handsies. It will be a long, miserable, silent plane ride back to the dark, cold waste land.

Ya Just like when they shut out Green Bay at lambeau in single digit temps. Going to be 50 and sunny on Sunday in Philly. That’s like summer time in Minnesota.

They won most of their road games this year, and it's sposed to be about 40-50 degrees Sunday, not very cold

They addressed that on the local news this morning about what poor losers the Philly fans were. They suggested any MN fans travelling to PA not wear any Vikings paraphernalia if the Eagles lose or they could be harmed physically outside the stadium. Wouldn't be the first time that's happen to visitors apparently.

Show me where a visiting fan was harmed.

Really. On the local sports talk radio shows yesterday they talked about Eagles fans. Lot's of calls and e-mails came in with experiences people had in Philly. One guy was badly cut. One guy had his purple clothes literally ripped off him. Really nice people in Philadelphia.

Why would you fly colors in a hostile territory.

I respect their fans passion.....think they have that much zeal despite no SB appearances.

research them,snowball incident,attacks in and outta the stadium and on and on.i know some good fans there and hang out during summer with a couple guys from their band they have but you couldn't pay me to go there.

Why would you fly colors in a hostile territory???


Maybe because it's a GAME and we are all liking the national pastime.

Good grief

They were throwing plastic beer bottles on the field when Atlanta was on the goal line at the end of the game. I went to a Packer game there I think in 2010 while I was in the area working. I was warned not to wear any Packer gear to the game. Being thick headed I wore it anyway. Started catching crap before I got the car door closed. Packers won and during the game I looked around for people that were also in the Packer gear. When I left I hooked up with 2 guys sitting a few rows behind me. We continued to to amass together as we went. Win or lose they dont want you there and they aren't afraid to get physical either. I have done alot of work in the Philly area over the last 20 yrs and they are great people but something changes in them when the game comes on.

Phillys D is going to get awful tired with all the 3 and outs that foles racks up due to the vikes pressure on him.. He has thrown for what? One Td in the last 4 weeks that he's played I believe.. Go vikes.

The Eagles defensive line is perhaps the deepest, nastiest, and burliest in the league— the Vikings will be overmatched up the gut and off the edges. This advantage will be especially obvious this week, in the din of the Linc in the NFC Championship; the Vikings won't be able to get the jump on the snap count because they won't hear it, so they'll be one step slower than usual.

I see MN is the favorite but I'm not sure that is the case. It will be interesting I am a fan of Wentz so if he was playing MN wouldn't be favored.

The eagles haven't won a super bowl either is that right??

If not it really wouldn't hurt my feelings who wins I just would like to see a team that hasn't won it and does well.

Supposed to be 40 to 50° on Sunday hasn't been that warm in Minnesota for three months pretty sure that's not going to bother them.. Scol Vikings !!

Heat wave coming here, up to forty! Skol!

Should be a rock fight..looking forward to watching it. Snot will be a flying !!

I wonder if the Vikings been practicing outside all this week....just to get ready for it. Being in a cushy dome...kinda takes a little toughness away.....like When the Pats played Manning and the Colts in Foxboro...........

Apparently you’ve never heard of Everson Griffen, Linval Joseph, Brian Robison, or Danielle Hunter?

nope,your right.

The Eagles are the best run defense in the NFL. Dependably-tackling defenders, along with impressive defensive gap discipline will make any offense one-dimensional. Taking away the run game forces Eagle opponents to the air— and Philadelphia won't have to send extra defenders to get pressure on the QB.

I feel bad your on this run without Wenz, but you have to admit things are much different without him. Foles doesn’t have what it takes to win a super bowl, he will be shaking in his socks. He’s a one look QB, coverage will be tight and the pressure will be on him.

Thats what they said about Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, and Jeff Hostetler. Foles has played at a high level in the NFL and played a better game statistically last week than Keenum.

Ya with 0 passing TD’s and 2 fumbles.

and yet, he didn't need any TD's, and the team he plays for negated the effect of those fumbles...football is a team sport, and the Eagles have a good one. People have been talking Foles down for weeks, and yet, here he is, 3-1 as a starter this year, and in the Conference Championship...

Same story for Keenum his first few games..... Maybe he’s got what it takes but I just don’t see it.

Don't get me wrong - I'm rooting for Keenum too!! His story is one you can't help but like! . I'm all for the underdogs...and I have three to root for this weekend .

The difference now is Keenum is good enough to take over the starting position for the Vikes, Foles ain’t taking Wenzs spot, in the end he’s still a back up QB.

I hope the Vikings win, but the Vegas odds makers have had every game wrong except the Pats game with the Titans.

It was interesting that the Saints kicker Thomas Morstead, was the only Saint who came out after the Vikings game winning touchdown since they still had to kick the extra point. He was injured during the game. The Vikings chose to take a knee instead of kicking. When the Viking fans heard about the Saints kicker and that he had a charity he sponsored, they started sending money to his charity. To date, it has reached over $100K. He has decided to bring it back to MN and donate it to a MN children's charity. Nice story.

Keenum basically played the season. Foles 8 quarters and in those 8 quarters prior to last week he threw for 5 tds. To say that either team has an advantage over the other is ridiculous. Both teams are going to play a much better defenses. Overall the #1 and #4 defenses in the league. Keenum V Foles is a ridiculous agrument as well. Both are backups and yes Keenum is a backup and will probably return to being a backup in the near future. Home field and the more big game experienced and PROVEN QB I give the edge to the Eagles. But dang straight I was to see a minnesota win. I will never forget 4th and 27

oh, definitely, GoneTrappin...There isnt a 2ndstringer in the league that comes close to Wentz when he is healthy. I think if Wentz was still healthy, my money's (figuratively) on the Eagles to win it all with the team they have this year, come the Patriots, or whoever.

I agree AK, the eagles were the team to beat before Wentz went down.

Trapper7, you wrote what I was going to, thanks, saved me time, Vikings fans ain't all that bad! Lol

Tactical.20, It's called Minnesota Nice.

Since you're from Iowa, have you ever been to that part of Iowa where American Pickers have their shop? I like that show, some interesting history there.

No, I think that's south east, I'm nwest, I grew up south of Rochester, in mn

This is the Guy to beat.....Youns must have mis-remembered

He sounds like a "Saint"

Not if he doesnt play. Hurt his little hand during practice.

Here are the best defenses for 2017 note that 4 out of the top 5 are still in the mix.

2017 offenses
http://www.oddsshark.com/nfl/offensive-stats Note 4 out of the top 10 are still in the mix with the Eagles maybe having the largest decline since Wentz's injury]

QB ratings for 2017 Note that the Eagles current QB is not in these stats.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/qbr

The team records and placings do reflect how well they played
I guess with most teams in the mix being very close in most areas QBs become a wild card or special teams as some have stated.

Down with the Vikings

I’m rooting for anybody but New England. Hope they don’t make it to the Super Bowl but they will.

The Eagles haven't scored more than 20 points in their past three games as Foles continues to find his footing in the wake of MVP candidate Carson Wentz's Dec. 10 ACL tear. They haven't allowed more than 20 points in that span, either.

You know your fans are touched when the chief of police puts out a notice for businesses to make sure their stores are locked up pretty tight in case the fans go off the hook win or lose.

The Vikings have told fans not to wear their jerseys outside the stadium. Wait until the get inside, the uncover, then cover back up when you leave.

That's pretty sad, like when my son's went to Vikings game in Chicago, bears fans spit on them

I heard that there is a storm forecast for Sunday in Philadelphia.

So.....any Drama for Vikings or Philly ??......there is plenty in New England ..

None other than the Viking fans are worried about the Philly fans before, during and after the game at the Linc.

I went to school in Philly 1965 ...4th grade...lived on the Navy Base.....When in school there, I was taught that Philly was the "City of Brotherly Love " ..........

DILLY DILLY

You were taught well. "Fly Eagles Fly."

69,000 fans are expected tomorrow and it is estimated that at least 30,000 of them will be wearing dog masks. Philly has some of the most passionate fans in football.

That would suck to wear a mask

Why don't they just put a bag over their head?

They are not ashamed mskrtman, they are mocking the fact they are underdogs, that is why it is a dog mask. But I would have thought you would know that.

so they can't be identified,they know how many camera's are on them.joking aside i believe it will be a good game.

Fly Eagles Fly.

How can they fly on one knee???

Viking fans have entered the city of brotherly love.

Word has it that the Vikings might just have a secret weapon:

Well....the Flyers just won in overtime.

So who's calling the Eagles game tonight.....be thankful it ain't Romo

Patriots vs who in the big one??

I think it will be Troy and Joe

What's the score ? I been watching the Patriots 5 th quarter .....and having a few pops !

Philly moving the ball ...!

Go Flyers!!!

Nittany......you still awake ??..Philly is laying the wood to em

I have unexpectedly found myself pulling for the Eagles in this one. Sometimes I don't know until the game starts...

24-7

My computer is in a different room than the TV, you bet I am still awake. I hope they play a great second half.

silence from the Viking contingent...crickets.......

You needs an I-Pad.....take it to the bathroom....the living room..and Nevah miss a thing....lol

Their Looking Good

Fly eagles fly...


That was the annexation of Puerto Rico play from the little giants

lookin like a good thing they put all that crisco on the telephone poles.never thought they would blow em outthough.

So the fishing was bad too ?

Do you guys know the army national guard is moving towards philly as we speak. Just sayin

great if ya like 5-6 in perch.nice day though.

Starting to look like it was a good idea for the "crisco cops" to lube all the street poles up this morning.

Sad but..I'd bet its true.....I hope not

[quote=wetdog]Do you guys know the army national guard is moving towards philly as we speak. Just sayin [/quote

i'm as far north as you can go in PA. and still don't feel safe.

The eagles cheerleaders just went full retard. Fight going on, on the field and they run out there into the middle of it and start cheering.

My nephew said they go to the super bowl he can't watch the game because he'll getting ready to straighten out the riots that will happen. Take that to the bank

Is this because of the philly fans or because of MN fans?

What do you think philly fans are the worst winners. But they have the most loyal fans in the nfl

I really have no clue. haha Was just a question.

I died when I seen that pic

I'll bet they are dogs in the Super Bowl as well.

You Eagle fans should put some of these points in the bank for the Super Bowl.....but you can't...lol ...And get ready for this Guy ^^^^

Lol

How ironic is it that the four teams in the championship games were all in the top 9 for the easiest schedules. New England #1, Minnesota #3, Philly #4, and the Jags at #9

nail in the coffin right there. DILLY DILLY

This game was ovah at the 1/2

Your .....Owen - 2 .........:)

Wow, the defence totally failed, nothing like previous games

All you losers cry in your beer
It is what it is
LOL

I have nothing to say, Viking did what they always have done.

Nessmuck, I was rooting for the Patriots today. But as you most likely know, I will be rooting for the Eagles in the Super Bowl. One question for you, Did Tom Brady ever play a game in his life where he had a higher rating than Foles did tonight (141.4)? The Patriots open as 5.5 point favorites. The Eagles will love that.

Someone's gotta help the naysayers eat all the crow...
