Pigskin Zen 1.9.09

One Down, Three to Go
by Gary Zeidner

After experiencing a minor miracle in the form of the cosmic convergence that enabled the Eagles to get into the postseason this year, the Birds have never looked back.

After calling for Coach Reid’s head all season and burning Donnie in effigy every week, Eagles fans were munching some humble cheesesteak last week as they watched their team make it through the Wild Card round by beating the Vikings in the climate-controlled confines of the Metrodome.

Now with a ton of momentum and something to prove, the Birds head to Jersey to take on the Giants in the Divisional round. It’s a classic NFC East showdown that will determine who gets to vie for the Conference Title, and it can’t get here quickly enough. The defending Super Bowl Champ Giants are a formidable team, but I believe the Eagles will find a way to win. These two teams split wins in their earlier season meetings, so this one’s a rubber match of Herculean proportions.

IAWT. Go Donnie! Go Westy go! Crush, Kill, Destroy B’Dawk! Remember to take the ball all the way into the end zone before you drop it, D-Jax! It’s your time! Three wins to history!

E-A-G-L-E-S . . . EAGLES!!!
