I never thought this Giants fan would want to see the Eagles win. I must have lost my mind.

Yup, bad start for the Falcons, excellent start for the Eagles. Not fearing Vick is the key to beating him, oh and not overpersuing him.

[Mo1]

Pretty rude of the announcers not to tell us who the kid was

I agree !

Well off to shovel some more of that bleeping snow we got ..

GO EAGLES!!

[winodog]

Seemed the only ones that had tears were those in the military

Well we are talking about Philly fans here so what do you expect?

Just kidding philly fans : )

[fatima]

Don't know the story.We love him and he loves the Eagles.I know his uncle who is a priest.

[discostu]

I think the on field announcer (the Eagles on field guy, not Fox's) told us who he was, along with introducing members of all 4 branches. Problem is nobody ever listens to on the field guys.

Thanks for the info - I was guessing that his dad had been killed in Iraq as some of the soldiers were noticeably teary. Thanks again! :-)

Go Eagles!

I'd like to see an "All-American" Superbowl: Patriots vs. Eagles.

[JeffAtlanta]

This game might get ugly real fast. If the Eagles punch it in and the Falcons have another 3 and out, I'm off to the gym.

[discostu]

Remember the Eagles scored first last year.

I'd like to see an All-Pennsylvania superbowl.

Just saw his story - what an amazing boy!! God bless him and his family.

[BIGLOOK]

Giants fan pulling for Philly?

2 time outs in the first quarter; what's the temperature there?

[TFine80]

Well, first they have to win the All-Bird Championship Game. :)

[fatima]

That was his father holding him,he seemed to be off balance,maybe the wind.

[JeffAtlanta]

Figured they would fake kick - good for the falcons.

[discostu]

We need a good name for the AFC Championship. NFC is the Chickenbowl, if the Eagles and Stillers win that'll be the Steaglebowl.

[bootless]

That would be cool, too. :-) My high school counselor (OK, from back in the olden days) is a HUGE Steelers fan. BTW, her husband was Steve Young's math HS teacher - they work in the same high school - and Steve recommended Mr. Lowe for some sort of Teacher of the Year award, which he won, in addition to some dollars as well.

[JohnnyZ]

The Eagles totally screw a 4th down trick play.

Announcers: "BRILLIANT!"

[bootless]

Well, first they have to win the All-Bird Championship Game. :)

Well, there is that! :-)
