I said when he missed the second field goal that Cower ought to send his payceck this week to Brien.

WOOOOO FALCONS!

What a great game. 320+ Rushing Yards?! Are you kidding me? WOW! Vick, Dunn, Duckett all looked amazing. Rossum was Rossum and the D clamped down in the 2nd half (the Safety was great

).

I can't imagine what Vick and Dunn's ypc numbers looked like on the night.

Yeah, it was fun heading out of the stadium and heading toward the train with people chanting "Let's go, Vikings!"

That was just simply the best game I've ever been to.

GrantDawg · 01-16-2005, 01:25 AM

Oh, and Bucc...when they showed the stat that the Falcons had 300+ yards on the ground and only 65 yards in the air, I told Ben that this game must be your nightmare. I called it "The Ben E. Lou memorial playoff game, sponsored by Ford."

Blowouts really are fun in person. I remember the Jets thrashing Green Bay in Week 17 two years ago to make the playoffs (after the Pats made their miracle comeback over the Dolphins to win that game and keep the Jets alive).

The atmosphere in the beginning of that game, when the Pats-Dolphins went final, was about the craziest thing ever.

I figured you and GrantDawg were at the game, since you weren't on here. Hate to crush your dream, but I'm feeling quite confident that the Eagles are going to win big today

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 12:09 PM

Good Tackling. Let's go EAGLES!

It's only a nightmare because the Falcons won (not that I wanted the Rams to win either).

By the way, I didn't put the money on the Rams because after I got back, I saw that the Rams' Rushing Defense sucks big time. Knew the Falcons would run all over them.

temley06 · 01-16-2005, 12:19 PM

Culpepper has had some pretty bad throws so far.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 12:27 PM

Very nice throw from McNabb to Westbrook.

temley06 · 01-16-2005, 12:30 PM

The Eagles didn't show much rust from their month long break on that drive.

TLK · 01-16-2005, 12:30 PM

The Vikings need to answer here....

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 12:31 PM

Touchdown McNabb to Mitchell!

SunDancer · 01-16-2005, 12:33 PM

Whats with TO sitting up at club level?

TroyF · 01-16-2005, 12:36 PM

OK, if you were a network executive, shouldn't you just fire Buck right now?

When Moss fakes dropping his pants, Buck acts as though he pulled a "Last Boyscout" move in a game and pulled a gun shooting players on the way to the end zone. Freddie Mitchell makes a similar move and he spends the next thirty seconds blowing him.

When you've lost your objectivity to that point, it's time to go. (and no, I'm not defending Moss, it's just that your reactions and criticism should be the same, no matter who the player)

As for the game, I think the announcers nailed my thoughts (think it was Aikman): Culpepper is just thinking too much right now. He makes that pass to Moss 99 out of 100 times. He needs to just start playing and stop worrying about the blitz. Just deal with the fact you are going to get sacked a couple of times. Drop back and do what you can do.

Of course, it's a coaches job to help tell him that. . . and we all know the Vikes coaches are idiots with headsets.

Oh. . . and what the hell was Moss doing there? Geez.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 12:44 PM

Excellent pass from McNabb to Lewis for 53 yards!

temley06 · 01-16-2005, 12:44 PM

Nice pass defense

cthomer5000 · 01-16-2005, 12:47 PM

wow, the line on the INDY/NE game is now EVEN.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 12:47 PM

McNabb to Westbrook! TD! Great route by Westbrook.

TroyF · 01-16-2005, 12:52 PM

Eagles look really sharp. Vikings need to take that kick off return and parlay it into a TD or this thing will be history. 3rd and long coming up here. A 3 and out ends this IMO.

TroyF · 01-16-2005, 12:53 PM

Ummm. . . Well, so much for that. What a great catch.

TLK · 01-16-2005, 12:53 PM

hell of a catch by Robinson...

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 12:53 PM

Darn, that was a nice catch by Robinson.

TroyF · 01-16-2005, 12:59 PM

Nice scramble from Culpepper there. That was a big drive for the Vikes. Announcers really lighting up Moss. I mean, it's OK to point out he has no catches, but it's not OK to point out that he was wide open on a 3rd and long early in the game and Culpepper one hopped it to him. Or that his carrying out the fake reverse helped Bennett go for 18 up the gut on an Eagle blitz.

The announcers can drive me nuts at times. Moss is a wack job, we all know it. But their constant fascination with shredding him repeatedly is baffling.

Great KO return from the Eagles there. The Vikes desperately need a defensive stop. They can't play from 14 down all game.

Yeah, I was just wondering. Usually players that are out, still stand on the sidelines with the teammates.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 01:03 PM

Whew. Lucky play there.

TLK · 01-16-2005, 01:03 PM

that was crazy....

Buccaneer · 01-16-2005, 01:08 PM

I'm liking how the Eagles are playing and their style. They can do the same thing next week, right? RIGHT?

TroyF · 01-16-2005, 01:08 PM

Wow, what a lucky break that was.

Vikings defense is just imploding here. No pressure on McNabb.He's just standing there thowing thos short crossing routes. One thing. . . you keep throwing those short crossing routes all game, there is a high likelihood one gets tipped in the air and ran back for a score.

Now, will the Vikings stay in this one long enough for that to matter? Doubtful at this point.

cthomer5000 · 01-16-2005, 01:09 PM

We will see that LJ Smith fumble play in playoff highlight reels for a long time.

I think so. Of course, Atlanta will be a much tougher foe.

Doubtful. The Vikes are playing defense horribly right now. Anyone could be running up and down the field on them. Odds are, the Eagles won't continue to do this all game even with this defense playing this badly.

The Eagles need to be careful here. As much as they've dominated this football game, the Vikings are driving again. With a slightly different bounce of the ball, the Vikes would be driving to tie the score. As it is, the Vikes can't stop them at all right now, and they might be down only 7 after this drive.

edit: Doesn't mean they won't beat the Falcons. . . I'm not saying that at all.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 01:17 PM

That was a really stupid play by Moss and/or the coaches. Lack of communication.

TroyF · 01-16-2005, 01:18 PM

What a huge play. Ubelievably poor coaching. Good lord. That was just horrible.

Eagles can put this game away with a drive here.

mckerney · 01-16-2005, 01:19 PM

I don't like that play call right there. Once again this year the Vikes try a special teams trick on 4th down instead of leaving their offense on the field.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 01:20 PM

Wow. Pinkston actually caught one.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 01:20 PM

Dola -

Levens has had some good hard runs this game.

kingfc22 · 01-16-2005, 01:21 PM

That Viking was out of bounds.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 01:22 PM

This should be an interesting challenge.

TroyF · 01-16-2005, 01:23 PM

Do you need two feet in to reestablish yourself here? If he need two feet, he didn't get it. If it's just a foot and your body, it's Vikings ball. If he needed two feet, Eagles hold on.

Amazing, I can't remember seeing 5 of these types of plays in the last ten years and then we see it in back to back playoff games?

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 01:25 PM

Whew. Good call by the refs.

TroyF · 01-16-2005, 01:27 PM

The Eagles, for all of their domination, are getting incredibly lucky this game. Amazingly lucky.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 01:27 PM

L.J. Smith's Speed is really surprising at times. Nice little play there.

mckerney · 01-16-2005, 01:30 PM

Tough for Johnson to get pressure on McNabb when he's being held from behind.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-16-2005, 01:32 PM

Lewis is really impressing today.
