Homefield Baby!!
WOW, WOW, WOW!!!
I’m in absolute and complete shock still. I NEVER NEVER thought this was going to happen in a MILLION years. I had completely accepted the fact that the Eagles would have to play away from home at least once if they wanted to get to the Super Bowl in Houston. St. Louis Rams fans on the Eagles Message Board have been making fun of the Eagles all week because the Eagles lost a close game in overtime to a decent San Francisco team. But NOW… ooooooohhhhh … how the tables have turned. The Rams lost handily to the horrible Detroit Lions. They lost 30-20 and they looked like a high school football team. Marc Bulger saw the turf more than he saw any of his recievers. He had a fluke .. oops I mean forearm injury which sent blast from the past, Kurt Warner, onto the field. He didn’t have much more success against the swarming and seemingly hungry Lions defense.
Now it means that the Eagles have a first-round bye (which they had regardless of the outcome of this game) but also home-field advantage throughout the entire playoffs.
This was all made possible because of the romping the Redskins took at the hands of the Eagles, where Donovan McNabb played great as usual and Todd Pinkston had another slump breakout game.
Hopefully this year is the year where the Eagles finally win it all… Don’t want to get my hopes too high up because of what happened the last two years.. but I honestly believe that this is a much better football team than any of those teams, and perhaps ever.
