The Philadelphia Eagles will reign victorious over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today! The Eagles will get back to the superbowl for the first time since 1980...for a rematch with the Black and Silver. Tampa Bay is just too weak offensively to put up any points against the Eagles incredible defense. While Tampa Bay has an amazing defense of their own, the Eagles have a more capable offense, especially with McNabb back. McNabb wont be hampered by the fact that he is "rusty" after the 7 weeks he was sidelined because he played last week and beat Michael Vick and the Falcons.



I say Eagles 24 Bucs 16.



The Oakland Raiders will stomp the Tennessee Titans simply because the Raiders are more talented and have less key player injuries. Steve McNair is being held together with duct-tape and cihicken wire as he tries to lead his team to victory in a Rocky Balboa underdog way. The Raiders (although old) are a veteran group of amazing players. They have the MVP Rich Gannon, whom I predict will throw for 400 yards (To Jerry Rice, Jerry Porter, and Tim Brown) and at least 2 TD's.



The Raiders 34 Titans 17

    i'm guessing the cold won't kill the Bucs, and they'll pull one out their ass today. but i agree that the Raiders win.

    You have it backwards. Titans will advance to the Superbowl and lose at the half yard line next week.

    Eagles and Raiders. Some of the most ferocious fans and they're on opposite coasts! This will make for an exciting SuperBowl!

    I'm surprised, and kinda pleased, but the Bucs are puttin up one hell of a fight!!, its 2nd quarter and tied up and they got the momentum . . and the ball . . .



    I thought I liked Philly but I can't help for rootin for an underdog with a crowd like that nad such a heavy expectation that the Eagles will win . . .

    The Eagles haven't done anything on offense other than one kickoff return for a touchdown and a field goal, whereas the Bucs have marched downfield twice.



    Oh how sweet it would be to watch a Gruden vs Raiders Super Bowl.

    Bucs and Raiders in the Superbowl... going to be a great game.



    Eagles have nothing today... they're done.



    It would take a miracle for the Titans to beat the Raiders, I don't think it'll happen.



    Go Chucky.

    Too bad my division champ couldn't represent. Not an Eagles fan anyway.



    Cowboys will win the Super Bowl in 2009.

    Talked to a friend of mind in Philly about halftime. He was laughing because he went out to a 'gentlemans' club last night (lapdances, backrooms, classy up front, etc. ...you boys know the drill) and no less than ten of the STARTING Eagles line were there whooping it up. Big. He thought it was kind of strange, but, whatever, he was sitting next to their table so kind of 'hung out' all night with them.



    Anyways, shows what a little over-confindence can do to your manhood (or dick in these losers cases).

    ^ I bet that's not true.



    Anyway, the offense failed yet again. They were too conservative defensively. I have a serious problem with Reid's play calling on offense. (or his coordinator's). It was so predictible. McNabb played badly.

    Guys were dropping balls. It was horrible.



    Uggghhh.

    I can assure you it is true. My friend is not really a football fan and only offered it to me as a laughable sideline as to how shitty the Eagles were playing. They played terribly, yes. Was it because they were out the night before? Probably not. These guys probably do this in every town they get to, not just their own. I'm just passing this along FYI. Believe it or don't, no skin off my back.

    There are only nine starters combined on both the defensive and offensive lines. RT, RG, C, LG, LT...WDE, SDE, NT, NG. Unless you opened in a max protect or with a non-eligible TE which I highly doubt that you or your friend knows a thing about. Or alternatively if you went out without your SAM linebacker and threw another WDE out there.



    But I shouldnt worry about the details since the whole thing is a bullshit story anyway. No offense of course.

    It's the Pirate Bowl!!!



    Saw the end of the Raiders-Titans tilt. They had it close for a while...but some silly penalties by TN kept the Raiders alive on the drive where they pulled away.



    This will be a VERY interesting match-up. League's best D vs. best O. Gruden vs. his old team. Al Davis vs. the NFL (lol). The storylines are plentiful. You know what THAT means. Six days of hype and a blow-out game. Or perhaps not. Parity has made for some wacky seasons the last few years, AND some very good Super Bowls. We shall see. I will probably root for Tampa Bay...if only to see the Raiders disappointed again. I'm SOOO tired about hearing about "We got screwed by the Tuck Rule" (yes, I am a Patriots fan). Bring on the beer and party food!! Here's hoping for a cool Apple commercial too .

    Yeah, forget the Super Bowl. They should be fighting for the Lombardi trophy at sea on two 100 foot galleons. Cannons, broadsides, boarding parties, swashbuckling, and squawking parrots in striped jerseys messing up everything.



    Janikowski even looks like a pirate. He looks like how I'd imagine Long John Silver. Jurevicius is kinda pirate sounding...nah, seems more like he should be chariot racing or something...

    Any time the Eagles were in a 3rd and long situation they would throw a screen pass...pathetic!

    Uhm, shutup. There could easily be 10 linesman starting. On offense there is the Center, 2 Guards, 2 Tackles. On defense there could be 2 Ends, 2 Tackles, and a Nose Tackle.



    Not everybody calls the Strong side linebacker SAM.And WDE? Wide Defensive End??? Football terminology is different for everyone I guess.
