As a Philadelphia fan who watched the Eagles do much the same thing in most of their 6 losses this year, I can only speculate that John Fox was channeling his inner Andy Reid. But hat's off to the Cards - they really played surprisingly well considering their regular season record on the East Coast.

Being a loyal and rabid Eagles fan I'd respectfully disagree with the first prediction. However, I find it also a bit out of the ordinary that the home field is having so little effect in the playoffs this year. I can only hope this trend continues!
