its clear as day these simpleton upper midwesterners were not prepared for a big city crowd full of druken maniacs

they were entering a different world and not remotely prepared for it. the team and the fans.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

What?!?

What's also amazing is, as Nick Wright said in the video igy posted, the first time the Eagles converted a 3rd and 10 (or more, presumably) was the TD to Jeffery.

DETROIT — Having sat together high in the end-zone seats during the Eagles' 38-7 wipeout of Minnesota in Sunday's NFC championship game at Lincoln Financial Field, the Flyers have added inspiration to reach a Stanley Cup Final.

"The atmosphere was unbelievable. If I hadn't been there to see it live, I probably wouldn't have believed it," goalie Michal Neuvirth said after the morning skate Tuesday in Detroit, where the Flyers were preparing to play the Red Wings.  "Even after the game, we went downtown for a little bit and I've never seen so many people. It was crazy, and it's great for the city."

Left winger Michael Raffl said he was "standing like a super fan until the end. It was unreal. I loved it."

"Best game I've ever been to, for sure," center Sean Couturier said. "Everybody stood the whole game. It was pretty crazy."

Most of the Flyers attended the game after taking a train from Washington, where they had defeated the Capitals earlier Sunday, 2-1, in overtime.

Several Flyers wore green jerseys to show their support for the Eagles, and Couturier even wore a hat that had a stuffed eagle atop it.

"It was probably the most fun event I've ever been to," defenseman Andrew MacDonald said. "When they got that pick-six, everyone went bonkers, and it seemed like the rest of the game, it continued that way."

"An awesome experience," captain Claude Giroux said.

MacDonald, who said there was a brief "Let's go, Flyers!" chant from the fans when the players were recognized, said it was "different being on the other side and being part of the fan experience. Everyone knows how passionate the Philly fans are, and to be part of it was really special. We had a blast."

Raffl said he got into Lincoln Financial Field a bit late, so he missed the Vikings' first drive, which produced a touchdown and a quick 7-0 lead.

"It was all Eagles from there," Raffl said. "They took off."

Giroux played in the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals and was asked which was louder, the Wells Fargo Center or the Linc.

"Both," he said, "were pretty crazy."

Neuvirth said he would like the chance to compare a Stanley Cup Final atmosphere in Philadelphia with what he experienced Sunday at the NFC championship game.

"Game 7. Wooooooooooo!" he said.

"I've never been part, as a sports fan, of an atmosphere like the other night," he said. "I think when that pick-six [by Patrick Robinson] happened in the first quarter, it was probably the loudest I've ever been a part of as a sports fan."

Someone asked him would he rather have an Eagles Superbowl win or an Angels World Series win and he said no comment.

I think the third down to Ertz on the second drive was 3rd and 10 but that was the first since Wentz, yeah.

i was already hugging people when it looked like Robinson was going to step out of bounds on that pick 6.  and then once he started crossing to the other side of the field i agree that was the loudest i've ever heard it there. i am just getting my voice back today.

Because Joe Banner was there, obviously.
