vike daddy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Eagles QB Nick Foles is 0-2 against Mike Zimmer-coached defenses in his career. Foles, who earned his first playoff victory in Philadelphia’s 15-10 win over the Falcons on Saturday, lost to the Bengals in 2012 and to the Vikings in 2015 (as the Rams quarterback). Foles was ineffective with both the Eagles and Rams offenses in those games, completing 51.5 percent of his passes for 348 yards, a touchdown and an interception in two losses. Both were late-season outdoor games, like Sunday’s NFC title game in Philadelphia. http://www.startribune.com/vikings-vs-eagles-five-key-nfc-championship-matchups-to-watch/469287563/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurmur and Doug are the real matchup of who can do it better. Doug had a fantastic gameplan for the Falcons. Schwartz and Zimmer are both consistently great with their side of the ball, so it's not likely either calls a bad or even mediocre game at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The NFC will be decided by a time-of-possession battle. The Eagles and Vikings ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in time of possession during the regular season. Both offenses thrived off keeping their strong defenses fresh and keeping the ball away from their opponent with efficient, if not electric, offenses. Philadelphia’s average of 32 minutes and 41 seconds of possession per game barely edged Minnesota’s 32 minutes and 26 seconds per game this season. http://www.startribune.com/vikings-vs-eagles-five-key-nfc-championship-matchups-to-watch/469287563/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLick12 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 This would be an especially epic battle if Bradford was still playing QB for you guys. Regardless, this should be a great match up. I love how our d-line matches up against your front 5, but you guys have a ton of depth at receiver and backs like MacKinnon have given us problems this year. I think we will bottle up the run well, and you guys will too, so it i'll be on the QBs to make some plays or simply who makes less mistakes. I wasn't all that confident going into the Atlanta, but thought we'd compete well. My gut tells me the same thing this week. I like our chances since we are at home, but this will be a blood bath.

Guest Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 In 1979 the NFC Championship game was decided by 9 points. The LA Rams beat the TB Buccaneers for the right to play the Steelers in the Super Bowl. The Rams won by kicking 3 field goals. That's right. The Rams won the game 9 to 0, for the lowest score in a championship game since the merger. The Vikings vs. Eagles, with two tough defenses, will likely be a low scoring affair. However, I think the winner will actually score at least one touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a game which will be 17-13, which of course means it will be 24-21 at halftime. Eagles D-Line scares the crap out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENINCH Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 This will be the 4th NFC Championship Game I watched the Vikings play in. Should have won in 2009. I hope that we can win this one and advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
