As much as I like the Falcons to win, I think the Eagles are due. If they lose their 4th straight NFC Championship game, heads are going to roll. Also, New England may not be the same team that lost to the Steelers on Halloween, but the Steelers are a team of destiny this year. I think it's their time to go back to the Super Bowl. If the Falcons win, you know it will be loud in Jacksonville on Super Bowl Sunday because Atlanta is the closest city to Jacksonville.

You'd normally think, but they won't (God forbid that if becomes true).  BFA (Big Fat Andy) is signed through something like 2011, and the roster certainly isn't the problem so they won't even take the GM position from him.
Tom Heckert has done a solid job in the draft in the two or so years he's been here.  Neither of the coordinators are going anywhere, they're both considered top commodities.
Pretty much all of the key players are locked up long term.  Freddie ("The People's Champion") Mitchell and Cory Simon might both leave, but that's regular attrition.
 
One thing about the Eagles under Jeff Lurie is that they show a lot of loyalty to people (unless they perceive you as not being a team player- John Welborne, Trot at one time, etc.)  It may be a fatal flaw, but they're loyal none the less.
