Pats coughed it up on a trick play but not otherwise.... disciplined football, minimal bad turnovers and penalties... and an 18 yard run on 3rd and 9 is good to put over on an opponent that is already wetting the bed....

atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The Eagles most certainly have a shot. The Suckwars just came within 50 yds of beating the Pats in NE. Foles is better than Bortles. Philly is a great D. I don’t see Marcel Dareus on there team to go out with a boo boo late in the fourth quarter at a critical juncture.

billsfan1960 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Eagles have to play the full 60 minutes and then when they have the lead in the 4th qtr, don't play the prevent D or/and get conservative with the offense, keep the pedal to the metal.

Iron Maiden Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I just this on another forum...... 2001, 2003 and 2004 SB wins capped off vs the Eagles before Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel left. 2014, 2016 and 2017 SB wins capped off vs the Eagles before Josh McDaniels and Matt Patricia leave ?.... That's a bit freaky...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdjr85 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Lol i still love the picture floating around of westbrook (i think) and it shows the pats db/lb brining him down and the ball by his hands. And people wondering why thier was no flag for PI. The answer is : the ball had already been touched by westbrook. It was on its way to the ground.

njbuff Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The Eagles can hand it to the Pats the way the Falcons did it for 43 minutes last year. But, we all know how this movie ends.............. So, I can assure that I will not watch a second of the SB. I cannot stand to see another Trophy raising by the Pats. Best thing that can happen for the NFL is an Eagles blowout. It might be bad for the city of Philadelphia itself though as the people will DESTROY that city if the Eagles win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Has anyone taken a look at the Eagles Defense home/road splits? I remember reading some commentary earlier in the year that their rush benefited from it. A quick glance and their PA looks much better at home.

TheFunPolice Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Patriots also lost 2 of their 3 games at home, but being at home certainly didn't seem like a disadvantage to them... You have to throw the season out once the playoffs start for the most part. I only included the stats to show that this Eagles team was a real powerhouse all season and should be taken seriously. They have gotten better in the playoffs, against stronger opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theAteam Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Completely depends on Foles The Eagles have a good defense for Tom Brady. They get pressure rushing 4 and have a decent secondary that can cover long enough for that 4 to get to the QB. The offense should do better than the Jags did. Theoretically they should be able to win but with Bill Belichick able to plan for 2 weeks, it's on Foles to perform. If he lays an egg, they will get destroyed.

Doc Brown Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I know a lot of people don't like this Superbowl because the Pats are in it, but I think this is going to be a really good one. Did we quickly write off Foles's 2013 season as a fluke because he went to the Rams and performed terribly there (like Goff and Keenum did under Fisher))? Will being underdogs in three straight games give the Eagles a motivational edge over the Patriots? Can the Eagles stellar defensive line get enough pressure with only 4 rushers which is the key in stopping the Pats offense? Can Gilmore and Butler keep up with Jeffrey and Agholor? Will the one two three punch of Ajaya, Blount, and Clement overpower the Patriots giving Foles a chance to stretch the defense? Is the NFL so worried about showing Patriots bias that all the close calls will go to the Eagles? Will Darby end Brady's career on a corner blitz? Should be an entertaining game.

They’re talking about that on NY sports radio - how no true Giants fan can root for the Eagles. Makes sense. Plus Belichick helped them to 2 Lombardi’s as dc, and they also own the Pats in big games.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 3 hours ago, Iron Maiden said: I was snooping around the boards of the Cowboys, Redskins and Giants.....The majority are rooting for New England...they REALLY hate the Eagles... I actually liked Brady's response when asked about how people were sick of NE being in the SB and the NY papers calling it the worst matchup possible... He pretty much said "we earned it" but then also said Giants fans especially ought to not worry about it, given how they ruined 2 NE SBs and were 2-0 against them.

row_33 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 the Bills ran into this by the 3rd SB, and everyone knew it was going to be a massacre, so the Bills went with "deal with it" but it was fans sick and tired of the AFC getting curbstomped again with the same sacrificial victim.

Worth noting: the Bills held the Pats to 50 rushing yards on 27 carries. I looked at the stats and the Bills had 3 turnovers: 2 fumbles and 1 interception. That will usually result in a loss against most teams, let alone the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Personally I think St Doug and the Jags defense was better, but the Eagles will certainly have a chance with Jim Schartz's defense if they can get pressure on Brady with just the front four which is the classic Tom Coughlin/Giants gameplan that handed Hoodie and Brady their only two superbowl losses. But I still think at the end of the day the Pats will rise to the occasion and not have to come back from a 25 point deficit like last year, or even a 10 point deficit like they did against the Jags.

Livinginthepast Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I think that this is going to be Schwartz's masterpiece game. If he can stay aggressive vs Brady and not blink like St.Doug did the Eagles will win this. The only other big ? is the refs. If memory serves do the Pats get BS calls from the refs in the SB? regular season and other playoff games of course but in the actual big game have the refs helped the Pats out? I think the SB games have been decently officiated but the Pats have been in so many I cannot remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
