broncosn05 Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Can someone just give me a straight answer instead of riddling on my thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I see that Joe Thiesman is picking the Falcons and Patriots. That makes me all the more confident in my picks the other way. I like the Eagles to frustrate Mike Vick, maybe pick a pass or two, and win handily 27-17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no need to inflict further public humiliation on myself. Plus, when you get right down to it, I don't care as much about who wins as much as I care about having a Superbowl that holds my interest past the first half.

Eagle2003 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 (edited) [Aren't the Lambs considered a "Passing" team? I think that particular "Passing" team got their butts handed to them by the Falcons, just this past weekend.] Quote Notice I said with a good offensive line. The "Lambs" have Orlando and that's it. Tra Thomas and John Runyun will handle the ends (which is the heart of ATL DEF) and the RB will help double, leaving McNabb enough time to pick ATl apart. ATL will struggle against a good defense this week. The Eagles have enough speed to contain Mr Vick.

SEC=UGA Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 The Eagles, Phlli, and Eagles' Fans suck. Atlanta 17 - The much maligned and marginally talented Eagles 3. You guys are becoming the Buffalo Bills of the NFC championship game. I cna't wait to watch the Eagles' Fans to have to wait another year before they lose in the NFC Championship game, for the FIFTH TIME. MAybe next year you guys can lose to the Saints, that way the whole NFC South will have kicked your d*icks into the dirt when it matters the most (second most, actually).

Tega Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I'll say the opposite of BigScore- PHILADELPHIA must break out in a big lead or they lose. In the close playoff games they choke. They know what the Buffalo Bills are to the SuperBowl they are to NFC Championship Game. The Bills are remembered more for their losses because it was during the SuperBowl. Believe me, the Eagles know their recent history. Maybe the fans throughout the country don't pay attention to it as much, but their local Philly fans sure do. There's a lot of pressure on them to get into the SuperBowl. I'm hoping they do get that big lead and get that adrenaline flowing like they did last week. GO EAGLES!

Big Score 1 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Tra Thomas and John Runyun will handle the ends (which is the heart of ATL DEF) 660489[/snapback] I think you are selling DT Rod Coleman and his 11.5 regular season sacks + 1 play off sack a little short aren't you? The entire Falcon front four is strong, not just the ends. If the Eagles concentrate solely on the DE's Kerney, Smith & Hall, then Coleman & Jasper will feast on McNabb. Throw in a blitz or two from Brookings and Williams and with Thomas & Runyan focusing on trying to contain and block the DE's, McNabb will be eating a lot of snow covered turf this weekend. You are probably not really famaliar with Atlanta's D, but their isn't a weakness amongst the front four or their linbackers. The way to beat the Falcons is through the air and even that isn't easy. Especially considering the predicted weather. The weather projected for this game, is the one thing the Eagles did NOT want. It definitely favors the Falcons for both their Offense & Defense.

If Philly jumps out to a big lead, turn out the lights, the party is over. Atlanta is NOT a team built or geared, to come from behind.
