Did you know?
Brad Childress' son works for the Eagles as a video assistant? Childress spent 4 seasons as the Eagles offensive coordinator before getting the Vikings head job. He and Raven's coach John Harbaugh are both former Andy Reid assistants and both have coached their teams to the postseason this year.
Matchup history
The Eagles have won seven of the last eight matchups between these two teams and have never lost to the Vikings in the playoffs. The last Eagles QB to start against the Vikings other than Donovan McNabb was Ty Detmer...

I know samuel is starting… what about pat williams?
Inactives for Both Teams
Philadelphia
DE Victor Abiamiri
G Shawn Andrews
RB Lorenzo Booker
LB Joe Mays
T Chris Patrick
DE Bryan Smith
TE L.J. Smith
L.J. Smith being out could be big for us, but we’ll have to watch the other Philly TEs anyway.
Minnesota
QB John David Booty (#3 QB)
DE Ray Edwards
DT Letroy Guion
OL Marcus Johnson
TE Garrett Mills
WR Darius Reynaud
LB Dontarrious Thomas
DT Pat Williams
Yep, no Phat Pat today. Here’s hoping Andy Reid forgets to run the football again.
Good luck to you guys today. . .I just hope you don’t have as much luck as we do.

I've heard Williams is out
And the guys on the Daily Norseman have an interesting thread about how Jackson’s better than McNabb. Yeah, well…they better hope they’re right
I don't know where you saw that thread
I don’t think too many people are thinking TJack is better than McNabb, but we like his potential. Let’s hope for a great game.
What do you guys figure is the key to the Eagles success
besides McNabb or Westbrook?
Mind if a neutral party joins you guys?

Hi, Mr NFL!
I guess I’m not the only Colts fan jonesing for more playoff goodness following our premature exit from the running (sniff).
The Eagles are going to pull out a win today, I am convinced.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
I'm just a sucker for NFL football
I’m still depressed from yesterday of course, but it’s just too hard to resist

The Baltimore Ravens and Joe Flacco look good

You should at least turn on the NFL.com field pass thingy
If you subscribe, you get play-by-play radio coverage of all the game, and if you don’t, you can at least listen to red-zone coverage.
The link won’t appear on nfl.com til after the game starts, though.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
Vikings radio guy reporting
That Eagles’ TE Greg Lewis hurt his left leg during pre-game warm-ups and had to be carted off the field.
Don’t know how big a blow that is to you guys.

My bad
I’ve got the Fox TV pre-game and the Vikings’ radio pre-game both going at once. Probably mis-heard what was said.

Oops. Sorry.
I put the same link up a little later down on this page. Seems they’re cracking down a bit on the streaming though, so the guy, patsfanuk, is accepting IMs for a separate video link. Dunno about the fishyness factor.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
OK, here's audio

Apparently, if you have an account there and message patsfanuk he will send you a separate link for video. But the audio should help keep you a little in touch.

As long as McNabb doesn't have the flu bug this time!

Psyched
We only had a 5% chance of making the playoffs before last week and here we are.
Hell, Vikes struggled to get here too, and only did so by eeking out a division win when the Bears fizzled.
I predict no blowout; it’s gonna be a fight, but eagles will win it.
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
4 of 5 FOX guys picks the Eagles
The fact that the entire national media is so confident makes me a little nervous.
What does it say that Minnesota fans, who honestly have little to do when it's 5 degrees F...
..don’t have the confidence to buy the freaking playoff tickets until a 3-day extension nearly runs out??
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
here goes nothin'
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
I have two wishes
An Eagles win and minimal Wendy’s commercials featuring that “uni-brow” dude!
I bleed green and I piss silver and blue
THat dude is also the designated Comcast internet foil.
His face apparently screams “Don’t choose the products I would buy, for the love of Pete!”
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
What's up guys!
I’m a Broncos fan but the Eagles are my second team (used to live in Philly).
Hopefully the Eagles can make it so this season isn’t a total wash.
GO EAGLES!!!
I am the eggman...they are the eggman...I am the Mermaid...Goo Goo Gajoob!!!
I'm seeing a big game from Avant today
that’s what the tea leaves tell me.
I bleed green and I piss silver and blue
OK, who are fans primarily of other teams who are here to cheer on the Eagles?
Please post your affiliation! (Just to satisfy curiosity!)
I’ll start:
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.
At least we can share our hatred for SD and the f'ing marmalard.

No doubt, no doubt.

Not much of a return

Even if this drive ends badly, the Eagles can't give up on the run

Nice first down

Eagles travel really well...
I saw them at Mile High a couple of years ago and there were lots of Eagles fans.
I am the eggman...they are the eggman...I am the Mermaid...Goo Goo Gajoob!!!
We need to take the crowd out of it
a good opening drive will help
I bleed green and I piss silver and blue
YIKES!
A Greg Lewis sighting! Thought he was out…
Another first down, at least it looked like it

Gotta punt here
You don’t give them that good of field position

lol...that's how a HC should look.
Like a gruff SOB that won’t hesitate to kill you if you cross him…lol.

No wind, no cold weather
Remember, Sav was good before weather shifted into winter on him. The dome might just bring back September Sav.
let's hope the Buck doesn't stop here. . .
i’d love to see Buck get 10-15 touches today. especially with he and BW lined up as splits. how can a defense possibly stop that?
Jim Johnson knows one thing
Blitz often

Being a Broncos fan...
I had forgot what happened after your defense stops a team for 3 downs…
What’d they call it? A puu…a puuuun….puuuuunnnnnn….
I am the eggman...they are the eggman...I am the Mermaid...Goo Goo Gajoob!!!
What a return!

Broncos fan,
Looks like you guys might get Tom Heckert and Spags as GM and HC
I'd definitely be okay with that.
I am the eggman...they are the eggman...I am the Mermaid...Goo Goo Gajoob!!!
although I really hated the decision to fire Shanahan.
I am the eggman...they are the eggman...I am the Mermaid...Goo Goo Gajoob!!!
stats!
help out a eagles fan and gambler at work, how many sacks so far? with celek on allen theres bound to be some, i need there to be less than 5!!!! also how many passes has DNAB made so far??
Running is fine
but we need to do more trapping instead of power vs power
I bleed green and I piss silver and blue
Maybe he figured Reid would be more likely to go for it on fourth down at that point on the field?

Those people all chose Whopper
because it tastes more like the cat that’s part of their everyday diet.

That’s twice they’ve sent a man to go stand in the right flat until Jackson gets bored enough to throw.
It's because MIN...
loves to send AP on a short hook out of the backfield…it will kill you if you don’t spy it.
I am the eggman...they are the eggman...I am the Mermaid...Goo Goo Gajoob!!!
I sure he is also looking for screens to either side.
I am the eggman...they are the eggman...I am the Mermaid...Goo Goo Gajoob!!!
Breathe now...
Was anyone else holding their breath on that one? That’s a long FG
this game
needs more commercial breaks.
thank god we have another set after the kickoff
World F#$king Champions
Which city?
Chicago? No. Minneapolis? I was there this morning and it was cold as hell.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Easy fella
Just want to see you whoop up on the Vikings. I’ll never root for the Eagles as hard or as loud as today.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
YIKES!
Where’d that gay pic of Donovan come from?
Jason
You could post that pic and ask for captions….
Bernard Berrian like big balls!!!
