Well, one thing's for sure: It won't happen again, the Eagles OUELLETTE continued from page 5 Treating Some Common fedica Problems with Alternative Medicii assured themselves of that fate, regardless of how they perform next year. Consider this: the Panthers threw 14 passes in the game. That's only 10 more attempts than the Eagles' QBs had interceptions. I was actually embarrassed for the NFC. When your championship game, ideally the pinnacle of your season, features a team like the Eagles for years, it brings your whole integrity into question. The fact that they lost all three years does, however, salvage some of that integrity. After all, they are still sending their best representative to the disappointing moments for me. The first was when Patriot QB Tom Brady threw an interception in the end zone, keeping the Colts in the game late. The second was when I found out the spread on the game was Pats by 3 and I hadn't wagered a dime. bet "Never a against ht 4.5-poi- However, at rimes, they can be your common medical problems?

They also have an explosive punt returner going against a suspect punter who often puts his coverage unit in bad situations by hitting short and low kicks that are easy to return. Another instinct of mine that likes the Panthers is the same one that liked the Patriots against the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVL This Panthers squad is incredibly similar to that New England squad: Delhomme is talented but unproven as Brady was two years ago. The Panthers have an excellent defense capable of shutting down just about anyone, and a head coach who is on the rise.
