You get to erase one of the four teams left in the NFL playoffs -- |
|
Which one is it?
It can't be the Eagles. They're the team of DESTINY!
Therefore, I'll eliminate the Panthers.

Why would you eliminate your home team?

5. An understandable choice, then -- |

Of course, I hope you don't root for the Ravens. If that's the case, it's far less understandable.

10. No, I am a Redskins Fan |
|
I was a Colts Fan that was happy to see the 'Skins do well when Balt. didn't. Never got very excited about the Ravens, even when they won the Super Bowl. I was pretty pissed off about Cleveland losing the Browns, I was afraid that the Packers were next. Although, aren't the Packers actually owned by the town of Green Bay?

It's a nonprofit org, I believe. And the papers forming it state that it can't leave Green Bay.

8. Eagles are not the "team of destiny" |
|
The "Team of Destiny" is heading back to Wisconsin to catch the rest of the playoffs.
We're just a scrappy team of fighers who know how to pull out the victory each time!!! We have a great coach, a class-act for a QB, a great tandem of rushers and receivers and one of the top kickers in the league.

23. Dream on, Mrs. Grumpy |
|
I'm not saying it's impossible for the Eagles to lose, nor am I saying they have the NFC Championship locked up. Certainly a repeat of last year is not impossible, but I think it is very unlikely that Carolina will win.
Not impossible, just very unlikely.
Though I can certainly understand why you are so grumpy today, Mrs. Grumpy.

going to surprise everyone and be a match up between the Colts and the Panthers. No room for Philly. They have had an extremely lucky season.

Destiny doesn't need believers. It's self-esteem is intact. It knows it's power, and it will carry the Eagles upward and onward!

Nothing can stop Destiny's Eagles. NOTHING!
Nobody named DelHomme (or whatever) will ever quarterback in the Super Bowl. I'm sure there's some Patriot Act passage that forbids it.

37. Wow, you sound bitter MrsGrumpy. |
|
We're better than Carolina, we already beat them once, just as we beat you guys twice. I would have rooted for the Packers had they beat us yesterday. You always want the team that defeats you in the playoffs to go all the way (Except the Cowgirls), it's sort of a moral victory. "At least we lost to the champs." Now you're going to be upset again next week. Come on board, fly with us. Carolina has no history and their fans don't even care about their team.

Sounds bitter to me. We went 12-4 and got the number one seed for a reason. We are the best team in the NFC. It just sickens me that people don't give us the respect we deserve.

12. Sorry, you don't convert a 4th and 26 unless you've got DESTINY! |
|
The Eagles are all about DESTINY. Just because a couple of goofy sports writers misplaced things upon the Packers, doesn't change that. The Eagles have been chosen by the universe. You can deny it, but you can't change it. Destiny sings on Eagles wings.

16. No, you convert 4th & 26th because you have McNabb |
|
Who is our leader.
Destiny sucks big ones. I had to listen to that dumb phrase all last week when the critics said that Green Bay would win because they are a "Team of Destiny".
As an Eagle fan, we would prefer that dumb phrase NOT be used describing our team. It's a term used for LOSERS - which the Eagles are not!!!!

McNabb or not, 4th and 26 conversions don't happen to teams that don't have DESTINY on their side.
Sorry to say it, but the Eagles are true team of Destiny. They are the epitome of DESTINY!
Destiny, it is an Eagle.

I'd like to see the Eagles win the Super Bowl, but it's a purely emotional reaction to Rush Lamebrain's comments about Donovan McNabb.

20. Anyone see "Destiny turns on the radio"? |
|
Seahawk fan here. (thanks packers for killing us TWICE :()
I'd Say remove the Eagles, however they seem to do a good job of removing themselves every NFC champ. game. :) Plus McNabb killed me in fantasy football(had to go with Kitna mostly, you know it's bad when to go to the Bengals).
All that said, I'd remove the Pats cuz they are just boring to watch.
Destiny??? Destiny in not a fourth down pass, if anything it's the Panthers 8 super close wins. With my Seachickens out, go underdogs so go Panthers to the SUPERBOWL!!!!
Fantasy advice for next year...don't get McNabb unless they get him some WR's to throw to. Matt Hasselbeck anyone :)

However, as long as Bob Whitsitt is involved with the Seahawks, I hope they stay away from all championship games.
