Well it's Monday morning and all is great. I hope some of you took my advice
I sure wish Sportsbet would respond to the 15 reasons why Philadelphia would win. I thought containing McNabb would get the win.
Damn, Carolina hit him so hard he couldn't even finish the game. Bet it was Cold on that bench.
Sportsbet, it was simple, find the other teams weakness then exploit it.
If ole W C buzzsaw tells you an ANT can pull a FREIGHT TRAIN you better HOOK him up.
I'll be back next week to give you fellows another winner.

. Philly's been there before...this is new to Carolina.
1a. Obviously being new to this didn't bother the Panthers. But Carolina had little to do with the victory.
2. McNabb is a better QB than Delhomme.
2a. He still is...Delhomme threw one wounded quail for a TD. That's all he did.
3. Staley and Buck will have a great day running on a Carolina D Line that is built for the pass rush. Ask the Packers about 9 yards a carry Staley.
3b. Averaged over 5 yards a carry vs Panthers only 3.9 per carry.
4. Carolina's secondary is not as good as Green Bay's...and McNabb torched GB. Pinkston, Thrash, Lewis, Smith, Mitchell and the backs will get open and make plays.
4b. I was partly wrong here as our receivers embarrassed the franchise. But tipped balls for INT's aren't anything exciting. The Panthers did well but Arizona could've done well the way they played.
5. Eagles were in the red zone 5 times against Carolina in Carolina. They will be in the red zone more than that at home.
5b. They were in the red zone enough times to win this game.
6. They have no answer for McNabb's scrambling.
6b. They didn't...they had to injure him on a dirty play to keep him contained.
7. Troy Vincent feels very, very good and can cover ANY of the Carolian wideouts one-on-one. The defense will have a field day blitzing the Panthers.
7b. He can..Vincent did a good job in coverage. He wasn't beaten for any big plays or any TD's.
8. Stephen Davis is questionable. Even if he plays he will not be 100 percent. Davis and Foster combined don't have the talent of Ahman Green. Green got his yards but was kept out of the end zone. Expect more of the same.
8b. Davis was average at best. Foster was ok but not great. Their offense was pretty anemic and vanilla.
9. The Eagles defense was worse off in the win at Carolina than they are now. Taylor struggled in his first game back after missing the previous 5 and 9 of the previous 10. He will not struggle Sunday with his partner in crime back in the secondary.
9b. The defense played well enough to win. One wounded duck for a TD and bad tackling in the 2nd half hurt them but they didn't lose this game.
10. Davis ran for 115 yds on 23 carries against the Birds. But when it counted Davis was stopped (4th and 1 at the 8 yard line right at the end of the first half). Eagles defense will continue to play that way...bend but don't break.
10b. They were bend but don't break. They broke on one wounded duck pass and one poor tackling play in the 2nd half but otherwise the D played good enough to win.
11. Dawkins is healthy. Enough said.
11b. He didn't play the wounded duck well but that's not his fault. Taylor admits he was the one to blame.
12. January 27th, 2002
12b. The first loss and their best effort in this game.
13. January 19th, 2003
13b. The second loss..a bad one but this one was worse.
14. David Akers will outkick Kasay any day of the week.
14b. He did...Akers 3 points Kasay 2.
15. Nobody has ever hosted back-to-back conference championship games and lost them both.
15b. Until now...it's a shame the way they played yesterday but nothing can be done now.
Hope this clears it up buzz.
