My Eagles fan friend just texted me that if the refs didn’t blow the whistle on the Lewis fumble, the SB would be different.Let's do this.
Text him back that he doesn't know the rules and to go to footballzebras.comMy Eagles fan friend just texted me that if the refs didn’t blow the whistle on the Lewis fumble, the SB would be different.

Well, whatever happened in Foxboro today the Eagles were losing the Super Bowl.My Eagles fan friend just texted me that if the refs didn’t blow the whistle on the Lewis fumble, the SB would be different.
Can’t wait to watch the Pats beat the Eagles.
“who is zed?”I joined this board during the week leading up to SB 39 and there was this insufferable blowhard Eagles fan yammering away all week. I wonder if he’s still around.
PHI is the best defense they have played all season by a fair margin. Neutral field against an offense comparable to JAX, I have a hard time seeing a blow out. Not to mention NE has never blown out a SB.If the defense can come up with a couple turnovers then I think it could be a blowout in the Patriots' favor...but this definitely has the feel of a slugfest where they let Foles drive the field on short passes and it drives everyone here insane.
PHI generates a bunch of turnovers, but are they really better than Jacksonville?PHI is the best defense they have played all season by a fair margin. Neutral field against an offense comparable to JAX, I have a hard time seeing a blow out. Not to mention NE has never blown out a SB.
Scar has his hands full next two weeks. Fletcher Cox is a rich mans Justin Tucker who has given NE fits in SB losses.
I dunno if Cox has the leg to match Tucker.PHI is the best defense they have played all season by a fair margin. Neutral field against an offense comparable to JAX, I have a hard time seeing a blow out. Not to mention NE has never blown out a SB.

Jacksonville is better than Philly defensively by nearly every defensive metric. The Chargers are also similar. Not to take away from Philly's defense, which is obviously good, just disputing the "best defense they have played all season by a fair margin"PHI is the best defense they have played all season by a fair margin.

By DVOA PHI was significantly better this season.PHI generates a bunch of turnovers, but are they really better than Jacksonville?
Edit - talking about the defense.
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdefBy DVOA PHI was significantly better this season.
What?PHI is the best defense they have played all season by a fair margin
I dunno about best defense by a fair margin. JAX was #1 against the pass this season and was actually top total defense in DVOA (though slightly lower than PHI when weighted). Philly might have been slightly better overall due to them being far superior against the rush...but JAX was going to be the hardest team to throw the ball against this playoffs. We know the Patriots aren't afraid to throw it 55-60 times.PHI is the best defense they have played all season by a fair margin.

Look at the weighted rank, PHI is 18% vs JAX 13%. Jax played the 31st softest offensive schedule this year.http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef
Just straight up false.
Jacksonville defensive DVOA -16.1%, first in the NFL
Philly -12.6%, 5th in the NFL
Beat recent champ (Rams one year removed, Seattle defending)Dynastic symmetry. Beat the Iggles for 3 in 4 years like ‘04.
The few Steele’s fans I know actually texted me and basically said ‘congrats, nice win, rooting for you guys but only because of James Harrison’. SSS tho.So Steeler fans are going to root for Philly right? Gotta protect their "Sixburgh" crap.
One of the story lines on Vikings radio this past week was awful Philly fans and cautioning Vikes fans traveling to Philly to look out. I expect the airwaves to be flooded with “Philly fans were obnoxious!” stories over the next few days from people coming back from the game.The few Steele’s fans I know actually texted me and basically said ‘congrats, nice win, rooting for you guys but only because of James Harrison’. SSS tho.
The hometown Viking fans are now likely in our favor though.
This will be quite a feat for Long if he pulls off back-to-back rings at this stage of his career.I was rooting for the Eagles to be the opponent. Historic franchise, loyal (if insane knucklehead) fan base, great story. And at least a few really likable players: Long, Blount, Jenkins, Foles, Kendricks...
Yes, game changer for Jax on that whistle. Too bad they didn’t have a 2 score lead in the 4th quarter or maybe they’d have had a shot.My Eagles fan friend just texted me that if the refs didn’t blow the whistle on the Lewis fumble, the SB would be different.
Can’t wait to watch the Pats beat the Eagles.
A lot of this relies on stats from when Wentz was QB. I think 65%, which is what the spread indicates, is more accurate.538 has us at 58% to win. don't think that adjusts for any injuries.
Where did that motherboffing SOB go to?I joined this board during the week leading up to SB 39 and there was this insufferable blowhard Eagles fan yammering away all week. I wonder if he’s still around.
Kim Jong UnHonestly wonder who Giants fans will root for in this game.
I’ll say Pats. Every Pats SB win makes their 2 SBs that much more valuable. Philly fans are obnoxious enough. Imagine them with a SB win over the Pats.Honestly wonder who Giants fans will root for in this game.
To show the players what kinda shit was going down when they were in middle school?What are the odds BB brings out the Super Bowl 39 parade speech for the pregame to this team on Super Bowl Sunday morning?
OK, I get most of you were in 7th grade, but get this, like 15 years ago they planned a parade! Can you believe the disrespect? I told Tedi Bruschi about it first...To show the players what kinda shit was going down when they were in middle school?
