The Patriots will come out on fire, I think the Patriots will get a lead and Foles is going to press and have a horrid game. I see a big time blowout here, the Patriots vs America, everyone hates seeing this team. They are going to have at least two coordinators leaving and I'm not sure they will make it here again. My guy is telling me to bet the over with the Patriots absolutely destroying the Eagles. 

 

I was snooping around the boards of the Cowboys, Redskins and Giants.....The majority are rooting for New England...they REALLY hate the Eagles...

Well those NFC East fan bases are really nasty towards eachother. I bet if you check the rest of the league the majority is pulling for the birds.

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.

The 16-0 Patriots team that was blowing people off the field every week scoring 40+ like it was a 7 on 7 drill only scored 14 in the Super Bowl, and lost to a team that is not as strong as this Eagles team.

 

Anything can happen.

 

 

sure anything can happen, but what does a fan want to put $1,000 on a bet that something happens.

No way! LOL

 

But then again, I don't gamble.

 

i grew up around enough awesome degenerates who would put an immediate $100 bet offer on any silly whim-wish i blurted out

 

contemporaries less fortunate had a crumpled beer can thrown at their head and were told to ST*U by their father or older brothers

 

the internet has given rise to this type of beta-male pseudo-fan who refuses to back up public utterances

 

(not you FunPolice...)

To be the man, you have to beat the man, and this Super Bowl, the Eagles are going to be the new world champions!

 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

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.

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.

Last time NE faced a Schwartz D in a game that mattered:  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201410120buf.htm

 

The talent levels on the 2017 Eagles D and the 2014 Bills D are basically the same. 

 

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.

That game was pretty close until they blew it open in the 4th quarter.

 

Also, this Eagles defense is better than the Bills defense was. Bills defense as all the DL. And it was a great DL, but there were weaknesses on the back end. The Eagles are strong at all 3 levels.

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.

this tells me they have a chance.

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.
