Didn't seem that Carolina could do anything right last night. Here's to hoping that Big Blue comes out doing EVERYTHING right!!

Here is a good article involving NJ and its sports loyalties. I tend to agree with the notion that the Philly area embraces NJ as one, while NY tolerates NJ.North Jersey you should consider jumping on board with your southern comrades and become Philly fans.

Jersey's split sports personality
By Frank Fitzpatrick

Philadelphia Inquirer Staff Writer

GROVERS MILL, N.J. - As he stood along Quaker Bridge Road Thursday morning, gripping a stop sign like a football yardage-marker, an orange-vested highway worker wearing a blue-knit New York Giants cap chatted with a co-worker in a green Eagles hat.
Welcome to New Jersey's demilitarized zone, a no-fan's land between the hostile North-South empires of Giants and Eagles supporters, a place where geography, history and the media have combined to create a civic schizophrenia – particularly when it comes to sports loyalties...........continued

I have NO IDEA!!!!

Come on Giants, take the 2nd half back.....

BTW, what is up with the wobbly Manning passes?? If this were baseball, the second pitcher would have already been put in....

I'm writing this at halftime, so, if something changes....

Congrats to Calico and to all the Eagle fans, you deserved this win.

Just like my earlier post in this thread that I just felt the Eagles were going to win this game even though I wanted the Giants to win.

IMO: The Giants played miserably and the Eagles just played a bit better and most importantly looked like they "wanted it more and hungrier" than the Giants.

Good luck against the Cardinals.
