    Proved without a doubt that although defense can win games, you damn well better have an offense that can ball and a QB that is playing lights out to win the VLT.

    Ok guys ...what you witnessed yesterday was the EXACT OPPOSITE Of what we have here with this donkey show

    A HC WHO PUTS THE PEDAL TO THE METAL..NOT ONCE did D Pedderson let up e.g. Tremendous plays on 4th and long that resulted in TDS!!!!

    Doug P ic a brilliant Offensive Coach ...just remember that trick play right to Foles...the throws and clutch catches by Aghelohr ( who supposedly had the flu???) ..I mean imagine if he was healthy..

    It felt SUPERGOOD to see NE go down...and maybe Philly go on the rise

    Sorry guys if we continue to be the SOJs I am tempted to join the other Philly family members and honor mem of father in law by rooting for my other team in green

    FTMR Howie Roseman is a brilliant GM who can run circles around Macdoodling...got Wentz AND Foles ..can't get better than that

    The only issue I had with his coaching yesterday was going for 2 points in the 2nd quarter. Game would have been over after the Elliot FG if they just took the 1 point.

    Yeah, that was clearly the wrong move, and I’m sure the analytics boys in his ear were telling him so, too. He’s done the overaggressive thing a few times this year, and that could have cost them the game. Nobody is perfect, but I’ll bet he does things like that less next year.

    Great points. Watching the game last night I imagined what Todd Bowles would do in those crunch moments. Bowles isn't and will not be a good enough HC to bring us a Superbowl victory.

    Both coordinators gone. Gronk retiring. Father time is at Brady's neck. It's over for you guys. You will be back to half empty stadiums in a couple years

    And that run play right before the 2 minute warning at the end. He had a chance to pass and end the game there. Clock was stopping anyway. Those small mistakes can come back to haunt you

    Oh my god I forgot about that. My Eagles buddy who I was watching with was screaming about that.

    FYI, Foles has the best postseason passing stats for anyone with 4+ games.

    Teams will be calling the Eagles to inquire about him.

    5 seconds before Brady fumbled, I was thinking to myself "how crazy would it be if Brady threw an INT here. No one would see it coming."

    Turns out it was a fumble rather than an INT, but it was the only point in the game where it crossed my mind.


    The game set a record for the fewest punts in a Super Bowl (1). The defenses were terrible with blown coverage and missed tackles, and of course there were the two coaches being aggressive on 4th down. I thought Philly going for it in the 4th was a really questionable one.


    This was Timberlake's third Super Bowl. I didn't know he also performed in 2001 (then of course the famous 2004 halftime show).

    He probably thought about not wanting to take a sack like happened with Matt Ryan last year.

    A sack would have taken them out of FG range, even with the run it was a 46 yarder.

    I'd be pretty smug if we won a few Super Bowls.



    But that's just me.

    The one thing I would never wish upon even hated rivals is a franchise moving. What happened to the Browns was criminal. As was the way the Colts were stolen.

    However I would absolutely love to see the Patriots fall on such hard times again that they have to move. It won't happen but it would be nice

    The dynasty may be over, but it was one hell of a dynasty.

    Why are you so upset? The Pats lost and Philly won. I am not going to get into a stupid argument about the refs with you. No matter what logic I use it will go on deaf ears because you dislike me for being a Pats fan. Even though the Pats lost I am not angry, I realize how good it has been. I have no reason to be frustrated like you and I do have some empathy for you being a Jets fan because I am one myself. When it is all said and done we are talking about football entertainment so why be so hostile?

    Maybe we all have our priorities screwed up here? Instead of worrying about football stats and details; we should be more concerned with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) of the market which is tanking right now.

    Na football is King! Go Pats! Go Jets!

    You make some good points.

    Don't run and be a Philly fan. This is so easy and logical. Things can only improve with the Jets and when they do, people like you can tell the Jet Come Lately Fans to go you know what.
