Today

Only seven QBs have started in more playoff victories than McNabb’s nine. They are Joe Montana (15); Terry Bradshaw, Tom Brady, and John Elway (14); Brett Favre and Roger Staubach (12); and Troy Aikman (11). - Philly Daily News

And what leaps out at you, of course, is that Don's the only guy on that list who doesn't have a ring.

People have been writing about how McNabb and the Eagles have been playing loose, free and easy for the past six-plus weeks (ignoring, of course, The Washington Debacle). My worry for today's game, beyond the horror that is a full-power Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald, is that I'm not sure it's possible to play your fifth NFC Championship in eight years that way. Especially when you've been favored to win four out of five of those games. There's just too much on the table here.

Since making the move for the Eagles with my pick earlier this week, I've read any number of writers making the case for the Cardinals. Warner's experienced, the Cardinals are going to hold the home field in a big way, Brian Westbrook and Jon Runyan are limited, the Arizona defense has been making big plays. But when it comes to the trenches, I think the Eagles just have this one; I think they stop the run and get to Warner.

Which leaves the game in the hands of McNabb, who can't make mistakes. Of course, he usually doesn't. Except in the multiple NFC Championship losses.

(Oh, and the late game will also be live blogged, assuming anyone attends the early one, and I haven't offed myself. Place your bets.)
