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

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...

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.
Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.

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.

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.
