2024 Philadelphia Eagles - First one was for the fans. This one was for the team. Next one is for the legacy. (9 Viewers)

[modogg]

It’ll come down to coaching and
QB play. We’ll see

Not considering Saquan a factor? Hasn’t panned out well for a lot of teams, but I guess we will see

 

[The Noid]

Jalen Hurts is the only starting QB in NFL history to return to the SB after losing the first time.

Wait, Elway? Kelly as well. That can't be right at all.

Corrected: The last 19 QBs didn’t ever make it back.

 

[Snotbubbles]

Admittedly, I haven't watched much of Kansas City this season so I don't yet have an opinion on the game score. I'll be following the line movements and injury reports as I spend this week off watching Chiefs games this season.

The one thing that concerns me is that if the Eagles have a weakness on defense, it's defending TEs.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Please beat the annoying team.
Thank you.

[Snotbubbles]

I can't believe, for the next two weeks, we have to hear about 3-peat, over and over and over. Already annoyed with it.

 

[Snotbubbles]

The Eagles had more rushing TDs (7) in yesterdays NFCCG than the Dallas Cowboys had all season (6). Ouch.

We did good after hearing nothing but Jayden Daniels hype for a week. I’m good not getting the attention.

 

[Terpman22]

In 2017 I attended a Rams game out here with my wife where a major player got injured in the Eagles win. We went on a vacation together to Costa Rica and later the Eagles ended destroying our opponent in the NFC Title game befopre we beat a GOAT in the Super Bowl.

We went to the Rams game this year and we fly out to Costa Rica on Friday.

Nah, KC is not good enough this time.

I'm not going to the game, just going down to party and watch the game in a bar on Bourbon Street. My son does work down there so he's handling the travel arrangements with some of his contacts, so I'm waiting on him.

I think we're going to rent like a 2br house for like $6000 and get nicer flights. Probably cost us around $8000 for two people. Then just spend gameday on Bourbon Street.

Details on the “Don’t make me come down there” rule:

Rule 12, Section 3, Article 2 of the NFL Rulebook, dubbed “Fouls to Prevent a Score.” The rule, which has yet to be implemented in the modern NFL, states that “The defense shall not commit successive or repeated fouls to prevent a score.” The penalty states that if the violation occurs following a warning, the score involved is awarded to the offensive team.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Saquon Barkley in the first quarter against the Commanders this season (3 games):

* 16 carries
* 200 rushing yards
* 12.5 ypc
* 4 TD

Its not as if its unwarranted. Just had another 3-loss season, where two of those L's could have been W's had Saquon and Devonta not both dropped a key 3rd down at the end of 2 separate games, and we just set the conference title game record in points scored in NFL history against the "best rookie QB in NFL history"

The talk had been "How can Jalen Hurts pass the ball/he looks like trash" and we see what the team looks like finally when its all clicking. The "All You Have to do is stop Saquon" talk is funny b/c, no one has done it yet.

You guys should know confidence, I peeped in that Lions thread a few times this year. Just we are that team instead you guys thought you were.

#1 defense in the NFL all year - yeah I like my chances against a team with the limited weapons the Chiefs have, even if being lead by Sir Patrick Mahomes.

This Eagles team is WAY better than that 2022 team and the Chiefs are not as good as that team in 2022.

IMO.

Go Birds!

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Nolan Smith has 4 playoff sacks.

Most in franchise history.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

The Commanders committed just 20 giveaways in 20 games this season, and nine came to the Eagles in two games (10 in three games).

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Quinyon Mitchell in the playoffs:

- 12 targets
- 4 catches for 21 yards
- 2 INT
- 1 PBU
- 2.7 passer rating allowed

[Bigboy10182000]

Cool view of Saquon’s long TD

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Tom Brady on Nick Foles

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Based on EPA per drive, that's the best Eagles offensive performance since... their Super Bowl win over the Patriots.

The 11th-best offensive performance by any team in a game this season.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Jalen Hurts in the pocket in the NFC Championship Game

[Bigboy10182000]

Jalen Hurts postseason stats -- since 2022

[Bigboy10182000]

Zack Baun is the 1st player with 10+ tackles, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in the conference championship or the Super Bowl since Peanut Tillman in 2006.

 

[popeye]

Second on the nick praise. Give this man his flowers. Guys love him. They play hard. Hes a little crazy but he fits. Nice job

This describes about 85% of the people who've posted in this thread

Where is Q as far as CB ranks already in the league? He's gotta be a top 20 min guy right? Already.

 

[Snotbubbles]

Cool view of Saquon’s long TD

Gives me chills.

 

[renesauz]

KC is the worst #1 seed of all time according to some statistics, and very few team have won a Super Bowl with an average rank below 10 in offense/defense. Eagles should probably be heavily favored, not lightly favored.

Eagles are underdogs in this game. I think a lot of people think Patrick Mahomes can't lose.

 

[DJackson10]

SB is on 2/9

That's Saquon's birthday

Cooper DeJean turns 22 that day

Yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of Kobe passing too.

And thats why the betting lines are what they are. Its based on the reality of people's opinions' not really how the game is going to play out. Lot of Eagles fans are going to make money off of this.

Honestly KC might be the only I’d like a 3peat outside of the Eagles. It’ll put an end to all the Brady and bill are amazing despite the fact they have all those cheating over their heads that’s been conviently left out in conversations because the nfl Commissoner is good friends with the patriots owner.

I’ve always said just give me one Eagles SB while I’m alive and I can die happy.

So you're cheering for KC then.

I mean, I know having to eat a lot of crow if Hurts won a SB would be incredibly tough for ya, but damn!

Gotta hand it to the Commanders fans though, not nearly as whiny as the Vikings and 49ers fans when they lost.

No matter how many SB's the Eagles may win......it will never be enough.

I am not talking about pacifying Eagles haters. That will never happen.

What I am talking about is being a fan of the Eagles. Yes, they finally won a SB that I got to enjoy, while still alive to see it happen. Satisfied? Hell no. I want another. And another. And another. As many as we can get.

I've had tix since they moved into the Linc and that's a top-5 moment in the stadium for me.
A crazy mix of cheering and just jaw dropped disbelief, unbelievable start to the game for the offense.

Well, the Commanders fans really have nothing to whine about. The Vikings and 49ers fans felt they had something legitimate to whine about. They did not but, thought they did. Blinder Effect. It is real folks.

 

[Terpman22]

I can't believe as a young man I saw the Eagles lose 3 straight NFC title games, mainly due to a crappy offense. Then finally get over the hump just to lose to Tom Brady.

The last 3 NFC title game finals are like a dream:

38-7
31-7
55-23
