Next season.

Malcolm Butler as he walked to the team bus: "I don't know what it was. I guess I wasn't playing good or they didn't feel comfortable. I don't know. But I could have changed that game."

Belichick was not very good last night. His "genius" was definitely in question at least for one game.

Brady almost overcame all the questionable coaching by himself, helping strengthen his side of the debate.

Pederson was a lot better than Belichick. And that was enough (barely) to overcome a great Brady effort.

Yeah lot of Belichick questioning this morning. The one blip on Pederson, as far as decision making, I felt was going for two to try to make up for the missed PAT early in the game. Don't think you chase points that early in the game and when they were down 33-32 late, it almost came back to bite him.

Ok, as a viewer of the sport can someone explain to me why Brady didn't just throw it to Gronk every play?

Forget about the Goat conversation but he is a great TE and the Eagles didn't cover him with the right player.

Congrats Eagles fans. Particularly to @ErkTheJerk, @Iggloo, @enut, and @mannyz.

Thank you. Now we can join the Lombardi Club. NFC East, all teams have won a SB Trophy. We might be the only Division that can claim that.

I posted this last night right after the game- the board was flying at that point, so I'll repeat:

Well, that was a great game.... right up to the fumble.
Enjoy your title, Super Bowl Champion Eagles.

Thank you. Now we can join the Lombardi Club. NFC East, all teams have won a SB Trophy. We might be the only Division that can claim that.

They are the only division. AFC East, AFC West, and NFC West have 3 (Patriots, Dolphins Jets; Chiefs, Broncos, Raiders; 49ers, Seahawks, Rams); AFC North, NFC North, and NFC South has 2 (Steelers, Ravens; Packers, Bears; Buccaneers, Saints); and AFC South has 1 (Colts).

And they are just the 2nd division in all the big 4 sports to have a championship by every team, joining the AL Central.

That's only including Super Bowls though, if we count NFL Championships pre-Super Bowl, then the NFC West would be included (but so would the NFC East even prior to this game)

Thanks, I did not feel like thinking or doing the research.

I tried to do both and can normally multi-task, but not when stressed. The nerves were up and racing heart rate a tad fast last night.

Overall, I found the game poor. Sure there were a ton of points and the QB's were bombing the shit outta each other, but most of that was due to biblically-poor pass defense - especially from the Eagles D. I can't recall so many blown assignments and bad tackling. Brady was pretty much off in the first half and the guy ends up with 500 yards?

At least it was close and came down to the last play....due to the fact that Nick Foles turned into Dan Marino or something.

And speaking of Brady.....fuck you. You helped cost Jimmy Garoppolo another ring.
