Son of a .................. :furious well i guess it's back to drinking. Ok, I can see postponing the game if your balloon roof deflated. I guess philly fans can't be trusted in 5 inches of snow gezz..

To add a different perspective.
These are quite a few Eagles fans in NJ as well. Within an hours ride of the game some of those areas got almost 3 feet.
I can get to Philly in less then an hour and I had 16-18 inches. After the wind. I had drifts over 2 feet.
I also understand that even today, two days after the fact there are parts of the GSP that arent completely cleared and still don to one lane and in some areas those covered over lanes contain drifts upwards of 7 feet.

Also remember they were calling for alot more then Philly actually got.

I personally would have had them play the game anyway. From the NFLs standpoint. They probobly didnt want to loose out on all that concession money that could have been lost

They should have played the game at 1:00 like they were supposed to.  I hate the "8 O'clock" games (which actually start much later - to make more money I guess) because they end too late.  Who cares if the west coast can see a game they won't be watching.  Football should be on Sunday afternoon as God intended.

God's game is played under Friday Night Lights.

Dont think anyone saw that coming. As a Vikings fan...Joe Webb looked pretty good, and i hope Fraiser gets the job next year.

I know I sure as hell didnt. Neither the win nor Webbs play.
I know not one game does a players career make. But he put on a good showing tonight. Good accuracy,decision making,touch,range, and legs. and most importantly for a QB of his experience. which really is almost next to none in at the NFL level. He didnt get rattled. At least for this game anyway. I was particularly impressed with his TD run. Not with the score itself but how he went about it. He was looking to pass all the way until running was the only option left. Alot of rookie QBs would have panicked. He ddnt.

The kid has alot of potential.

One thing though. If Im an official for the Vikes. I send him off to take speaking lessons in the off season. LOL
