As an Eagles fan I am very pleased by today’s victory over the Giants. Oh hell, I’m ecstatic, as is Helaine, as is Stef down in Florida (but watching with my Giants fan dad).
As the Eagles swooned mid-season none of us thought this was in the offing. Up until the last day of the season we didn’t think they’d make it. They peaked at the right time and everything else magically fell into place.
The Eagles will not be favored the rest of the way, but I think a convincing case can be made they should be.
One of the Fox announcers said the Eagles were currently “playing with house money.” That’s a good place to be.
As a Cowboys fan I was incapable of rooting for either team; I despise them both.
However I will take joy in listening to WFAN tomorrow and hearing the sorrow of Giants fans.
Next week I will be rooting hard for the Cardinals.
It was a great game! The only thing better than beating the Giants was that the Patriots didn’t make the playoffs. Listening to Boomer and Carton this morning on The Fan was pretty interesting.
As for the Eagles not being favored the rest of the way, the last I heard they were 3 1/2 point favorites for Sunday against the Cardinals.
As a season ticket holder we were disappointed there were no home playoff games but as long as they’re winning we are content to watch on tv.
