Nick,
Congratulations on the victory. I imagine that you really enjoyed it. Hope that you do, because your ride will once again end at the NFC Championship.
I was certain, before the weekend, that the Rams were going to beat the Panthers (I live in the Charlotte area - and have been following them closely all year). I never thought that they really had a chance to get to the Big Game this year.
After watching the Panthers on Saturday, and then the Eagles/Packers game on Sunday, I was convinced of the following. The Panthers have better coaching than the Packers; a better offense/defense and special teams than the Packers - a far better team than the Packers. Much better.
I believe that Delhomme and Company, backed up by the best Defensive line in the NFL, will beat Philly on Sunday night. They've already extracted revenge on one NFC East Opponent this playoff, they will now extract revenge on number 2.
