lot to catch up on in this thread but I’m thinking there will be some fun ones like this 
Weak sauce imo
Lol. I could have a field day going back and dragging out some of Icon's posts. But I won't be 'that guy'.

I'm just enjoying the fact that we are the best football team in the world and have a ring and have arrived about two years ahead of schedule. Oh, and that Cowboysfan is still sad and lurking. I would pay money to see his expression as the hail mary fell to the ground.
Huh. In Brady's Super Bowl appearances before this one, his performances ranked 20th, 32nd, 54th, 66th, 77th, 79th and 111th out of 135.Workhorse said:
Don't waste your time. He's.....different
In every post I made I said:
• These are both great teams and deserve to be there. It's anyones game
• My money was on Eagles +4.5
• Win or Lose, this dynasty run by the Patriots has been amazing to be a part of
Then again, I realize you've proven to be pretty delusional, so I'm not surprised this is lost on you.
FWIW, PFF disagrees. While an amazing game, Brady missed some easy ones and had a defender drop an easy INT that hit him in the hands that would have sealed the game before the hail mary attempt. I also don't think you should penalize Foles too much for that interception that Jeffrey flipped up in the air and the other Pats defender caught.Workhorse said:
Although Brady put up the yards and willed his team to one play from winning back to back.....I thought he was a tiny bit off last night.
Its amazing what foles accomplished in the super bowl. belichick bet that foles would make mistakes and so he dared foles to beat him. It was a perfectly sound game plan. Instead foles played a perfect game (and the patriots STILL almost won). I mean you cant say enough about foles and how he handled the pressure to playing in the super bowl vs tom brady and bill belichick. He had the game of his life. If they met again, foles would come back down to earth and the patriots would win pretty easily. But you get one game and what a game foles had.
What?! No love for me?!
Riversco was chanting that mantra since wild card weekend. At least he was consistent
ehh maybe. Foles played the #1 defense 2 weeks before that and didn't look to shabby. how many good games does he need to have where maybe it isn't a total fluke? i don't know myself, but i think his first 2-3 games where everyone freaked out were much more a QB coming in with almost no reps and diving right in. took some time to get acclimated
Only if Foles goes to Cleveland for 2 first rounders and leads the Browns to a Super Bowl will some people be convinced.
I think that that is the key. The Eagles, (IMO) are more like the Patriots than any other team in the NFL.*
The oddest part in all of this is that Doug Pederson ended up being what we thought we had in Chip Kelly.
PFF grades confuse me. I don't remember Flowers making one impactful play. Even when he pressured Foles it seemed liked Foles completed the pass more often than not.
You're out of your element here Thunderlips. Godzilla had tiny little arms, ill positioned to reach up. When Godzilla had an issue with fighter planes he burned them with his lazer/fire/atomic breath. King Kong was the one to grab them.
PFF basically grades if you're doing your job correctly. Are you in the right spot, did you run the right route, did you hit the right hole, did you throw the pass correctly. For a majority of plays, this works but there are some plays that just can't be measured that way.
If that's the case, then why the high grade on Eric Rowe? He got beat repeatedly by Jeffrey and missed a few big tackles. Rowe was a big reason why the Pats lost. He was utter garbage that game.
I think you get bonus points for giving up big plays and looking good in warm-ups...
I didn't think he looked like garbage, actually. He got beat because of beautiful pass placement by Foles. There were quite a few passes he did a good job of breaking up as well. Philly didn't have guys running free like NE did - Foles had to put most of those passes in there perfectly.
You know what the worst team to win the Super Bowl can call themselves?!! SUPER BOWL CHAMPS!!!!!!!!
I was especially amazed at how amazed Collingsworth was that the Eagels were going for it. It's like, Chris, did you even do any research on the Eagles for this game? Michaels at least acknowledged that the Eagles had done that a lot this season. It also sounded like Collingsworth disapproved of the decision before the play, but that could of been my Eagles bias kicking in.
Don`t think Rowe played bad. Hard to defend a perfect pass and a great catch. Eagles gave up over 500 yards passing to Brady so it was a tough game for the secondary's.
I never claimed it was perfect. Just their methodology.
