If you're gonna be swinging from Marty's nuts, at least get how many years he coached SD right.

I couldn't care less about Marty Schottenheimer or his nuts. I guess I was thinking of another coach

Getting closer to The Big Game cant really say its easy to relax the offensive play of the Cardinals in the Carolina game looked very impressive its hard to tell how well their Defense played considering the dismal performance of Delhomme at any rate should be a terrific game with of course an eventual EAGLES Victory...LETS GO BIRDS... E A G L E S WIN.

I wouldn't be too worried if I were an Eagles fan. Their secondary is superb and the Cardinlas rely heavily on the pass. There D matches up very well to their offense. There is no doubt in my mind the Eagles D can stop their run. Jim Johnson will blitz Warner a lot with a lot of different schemes (confusing him) in attempt to stop the pass. Warner likes to fumble and make really poor decisions when he is constantly under pressure.

I'm not so sure he likes it, but he sure seems to.

I watched 3 games with the Cardinals this year against Buffalo, New England, and NY Jets. New England and the NY Jets got pressure on Warner and that whole offense self destructed. Most notably Warners performance against the Jets. It was one of the worst quarterback performances I watched all year. I have no doubts Philly can apply that kind of pressure on Zona and force Warner out of his comfort zone.

That's exactly why I would be worried if I were an Eagles fan... b/c the Cardinals are easy to overlook. On paper, it's easy to pick the Eagles... but the Cardinals are a team riding a ton of momentum, playing at home in a dome (where they are 7-2 now including the playoffs), who just beat two teams they were "guaranteed" to lose to. I think it's going to be a fun game to watch, and as long as Boldin is playing alongside Fitz any 3 yard dink pass can turn into a 75 yard TD run.

NO doubt the Eagles secondary is in the midst of their best play,Asante,Sheldon and Mikell"Q" are outstanding defenders and although Consadine is not the best at bringing down a guy he is always around the ball he just has that knack,and last but not least B DAWK should shine against this type of O Dawkins is playing damn good ball the Giants game didnt really show his HUGE play but I look forward to seeing it on Sunday.....GO EAGLES

Yup. They are the hottest defense in the in league right now and Jim Johnson is really on game calling the defense and has put together some brilliant gameplans. Watching what they did to Dallas, Minnesota and the Giants was mighty impressive. The Eagles now have the benefit of a shut down corner in Asante Samuel that can play one on one with any receiver in the league which opens up a defense more, especially against a pass happy one that plays a lot of spread formations. Their safteys are playing amongst the best in the league and is one of the big reasons why they have been so successful as well. Oh yeah they are turnover machines too.

Kurt Warner is not mobile and strictly a pocket passer, I have a feeling he is going to be in for a very long and painful day.

Painful is the meaning of EAGLES DEFENSE..I'm really gettin pumped,I'm actually leaving the dreary cold spell of South Jersey Friday morning for a week long trip to Key West any suggestions on a good spot to watch the game I know theres gotta be some decent sports bars there I have never been so I wouldnt know. No Matter What I'll Be Watchen The Birds GO EAGLES

Don't get me wrong I am not a fan of the Eagles and at the beginning of the year I said the Redskins and the Eagles would be the odd teams out in that division. But what I have seen from them since Donovan McNabb's benching has me very intrigued, like a bunch of veterans "coming of age" once again. Something happened to the team in that moment and it is something special.

As a football fan I have been enjoying watching them play and hopefully it will be Eagles Vs. Ravens come superbowl time.

Listening to some sports talk radio today and there are reports surfacing that Brian Westbrook is around 70% healthy right now. He will play but most likely will not be 100% for the game on Sunday. Not the greatest news considering everything they do so well on offense centers around him.

I just saw the the Lions hired a coach, and it wasn't Rivera.

WHEW

The last 4 aren't really available.... And I wouldn't call Barry Switzer a proven NFL coach. He was a great college coach he took over a proven team.

I'm not the biggest fan of Switzer either but he did take a good team with a lot of egos and won it all. Not the easiest coaching gig. Can't say that for a lot of headcoaches out there. We can trade him for Steve Marinucci.

Either way there is a lot of good coaches available right now.

Looking forward to the battle of the birds (Cards vs Eagles) tomorrow...

Yea Westbrook isn't as heathy as I would like but he is almost never 100% and from what I've been hearing he's a just a little more nicked up than normal.

Can't wait for the game!

So I don't really care who wins any of the games today...But I'm sorta pulling for the Cards...I will say that I don't really like the Steelers.
