CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY THOUGHTS

I truly believe we have reached a critical point for the Eagles...these next two games will write the story for this team under both Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb. If they win both...they will become legends...lose either game, and they go into the category of 'Can't Win The Big Game' like Marty Schottenheimer, the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings. 5 title games in 8 years is quite a feat, losing all but one is not.
That being said...I'd like to see an all PA Super Bowl in 2 weeks...I think the Eagles can and should win, but it will be alot closer than Thanksgiving Night. The key is getting out of the box...Whichever team can jump to a lead will put alot of pressure on the other...and the defense will tee off.
In the AFC, defense wins championship - Pittsburgh's and Baltimore's are awesome...home field hasn't worked out well for the Steelers in the last 5 title games - just 1-4 when it's in the friendly confines of home...but I think Big Ben and the O will ne able to generate enough to win the game.

The one thing about this weekend I look forward to...not having to get up for work on Monday and just enjoying the game...
