CFL refs are far , far superior to NFL refs. Less teams of them because of a smaller league = leads to much higher quality of officiating. In addition the CFL refs haven't been bought off by Kraft. The Eagles would have a great chance if by some chance occurrence, every single NFL ref came down with food poisoning right before the SB and they brought in some untainted officials!!

The Eagles pass rush is the biggest factor on D and Foles is still a huge ? on the offense. Foles played the best game of his career tonight. Can he ever hope to repeat that? Can the Eagles stay calm in the game? The Patriots NEVER get rattled, they never get nervous and that seems to trump so many things when they come up against a solid D. They have so much big game experience now they just wait for the opposition to choke. If the Eagles can get to Brady and rough him up early and Foles can keep the magic going, its going to be a hell of a game.

And Nick Foles of all people is the shredder!!! I can only hope he can do it in 2 weeks. He has a lot of poise tonight but we'll see when the pressure is on!

I think the clock struck twelve for Case Keenum. He looks like a career backup today. Making bad decisions and turning it over. Sad end for the fairy tale!

I think one of these was on the drive right after the Pats TD that made it 20-17 3rd down. The Pats DB was early and seemed to impede the Jags player. No call and no replay despite how huge the incompletion was. The Pats got away with a bunch of key holds on some big plays that were instrumental in their plays working. The refs just don't believe that the Pats O line even come close to holding apparently even when its obvious. The only PI call I object to was the one at the end of the half. All these people saying it was obvious PI must be kidding. Both players were battling, the Pats receiver even has some of Bouye's jersey for a second, then he veers out of bounds and appears to end the play by batting Bouyes in the head with his forearm. Bouyes turned and faced the ball. I think it was textbook great coverage and a perfect place for a non call. The official who called it was on the wrong side and made the wrong call. What was so weird to me on that play was the official who threw the flag's "excitement" at throwing the flag, He acted like "heres my big moment!!!" then he proceeds to visibly demonstrate what the call is and who its against before the ref does!! I cannot ever remember seeing that before. It was such a strange moment. Isnt it the ref's discretion on what actual penalties are called and if they stand?? But no this official decided it already!! The bottom line for me is that the refs didn't win this game for NE. They just made it slightly easier when things were looking bad. Yes the superstar Pats won it by themselves aided and abetted by some key bad calls by Hacket and some crucial poor plays by the Jags. That last Jags punt for instance. Of all the times to kick it just 41 yards that was not it. Then a 20 yard return by Amendola. It was just so sickening, so familiar. The Pats get all the breaks, they know how to do it when the pressure's on and the script plays out as usual.

of course its a great throw, of course its a catch, of course its the Pats. So sick of this !!!

I honestly feel like vomiting right now. So undeserved for the Pats

OMG did hell just freeze over???

Bortles was replaced by his twin in an alternate universe where the Jags are threepeat SB champions already!!

Flea Flicker!!!!! New respect for Hackett!!

That was a very poorly called series by Hackett. Run the damn ball.

Jags need to score here. Ground and pound please!!

full holding on that completion

Actually I think it makes you look blind. They both had their hands up against each other and the Pats player shoves Bouye's helmet. No PI at all or at worst offsetting PIs.

Totally ridiculous call!! And the official that called it looked a little too excited about the penalty, even telling the ref and the stadium who it was against. When was the last time you saw an official do that who wasn't the ref, before the ref called it on the mike!!!? Hilarious how crooked this appears!!

On the PI call in the red zone, the Pats receiver hits the jags defenders helmet with his arm and they call PI on the Jags??? Huh?

TOTALLY BOGUS PI

why does Nantz keep expecting the flag on missed passes? Are we off script here??

OMG can it be?? a repeat of the Pats /Ravens playoffs from 2009??!!!

big first D, Jags Oline is pretty good

Me too! AS long as the refs stay out of it and let them play!!

That should have been picked!!! bad throw

Now if we can get at least 6 more of those?? like vs the Steelers!!

I cannot think of any reason why I would want to pose for a pic near a guy who murdered his own kids mother and another innocent human being. These guys in the pic are just some of many people who even now are adding to OJ's sense of invincibility re his celebrity. I think AH had the same sense that he too could get away with anything as well. Would Pats fans be so desperate that they would have their photos taken with AH if he had gotten away with it too? Pathetic!!

Yeah I bet he was dismissive when Marcel offered his excuses for being late or doing whatever dumb thing he had just done and probably only offered up " because I was high?" as an explanation.
