It does beg the question :
How will other teams attack the Patriots and Eagles?

Curious to see if there will be more 4th down attempts and aggressive play calling next season.
Or will teams still turtle up and play conservatively to protect a lead...
Looking at things the Eagles did struggle against: Just run hurry up go full Chip Kelly. Only half-way joking, the numbers against Hurry-Up for the Eagles D this year are pretty bad despite otherwise being pretty darn solid. Pats are a good example of this tempo, imo.

Im starting to root for the idea of a "We are Philly" movie in a few years.

I think they're lucky Keanu Neal tried to intercept a pass with his knees instead of his hands .

Someone had to win it.

2017 was the year of no great teams which is why I ended up picking the Eagles in the Super Bowl even with a backup QB.
The 2017 Eagles were a great team.

Really? You're going to back to the freaking second quarter of the Divisional Game to insinuate that the Eagles are not worthy champions?

I created this thread for that very reason. It's time people start ponying up and admit that the 2017 Eagles were one of the best Super Bowl winning teams in a long time. I'm not saying that their SB roster with Foles is one of the greatest, but the entire, top-to-bottom 52 man roster that played this year was amazing.

I've been going soft on you pussies. WE ARE THE GREATEST- WE ARE PHILADELPHIA!!!!!!!!

No. The Eagles are great team and deserved to win the SB. I'm simply stating that if Neal picks that pass the Eagles likely lose to Atlanta . Both things can be true

People underestimate how lucky a team has to be to even make the SB. The number of rookie starters on Atlantas defense in the SB two years ago was unprecedented for instance. The health of the team, relative to the rest of the league, was quite impressive as well.

Yeah and if I can read most of your posts and laugh and think you're a great guy, I'll do that. But if I read some retarded shit about the 2017 Super Bowl Champions and decide to fly out to Bumblefuck, Iowa and take a shit on your front porch, I'll do that too. Both things can be true.

If it's a 2 point game instead of a 5 point game then it wouldn't have been a "choke ". That's assuming Atlanta doesn't score after Neals pick , which they likely would have

Or win a Super Bowl.

That Eagles TD that was reviewed in the endzone with the feet going out of bounds is probably called incomplete 9 out of 10 times.

They don't all die before that one starts though.


There should be a Steegles movie. A lot of people don't even know the state of a Pennsylvania was so broke ass it had to join its teams.

I thought that was because of dubya-dubya-too and too many of their players getting drafted to fight the Nazis over in the Pacific.

Exactly what every Saints player was thinking right after the Eagles took the Vikings behind the wood shed in the NFC title game....And I'm sure a large sigh of "thank god" was added in as well!
