Eagles vs Patriots Super Bowl it looks like even without Wentz at the helm.

Yep. Even if the Vikings break their offense wide open, there's no outscoring the Eagles by 4 possessions.

That miracle finish for the Vikes last week was the last thing the NFL needed.


First drive was standard methodical Vikings O but Keenum's flaws came out when Eagles turned the heat up. Then Vikings lost their All-Pro corner and pass D fell apart. Right now, all Keenum can do is checkdown to his RB's. I don't think the Eagles can do much against NE though. They don't have the DB's who can make it work.

As I said earlier in the thread, the Pats won the Super Bowl today.

The good news is that I now have a whole Sunday free on the 4th.

Vikes D is gassed and done. The streak of teams not playing in their home stadium for the SB continues.

Yep. As the saying goes, the best team doesn't always win.

Wentz vs Brady would've been a nice headline for a Super Bowl....
Foles vs Brady....not so much...

Either way, I'm rooting NFC. Would've liked the Vikes as they'd be playing for the home fans but Eagles I guess I can do (McNabb was one of my fave QB's).

It's one game at a neutral place and anything can happen.

I hope it's a competitive game. If NE wins again, well so be it.

I didn't watch the Vikings game. How did the Eagle win in a blowout without their starting quarterback?

You're a better man than I am.

I just hope I get some good squares in the pool.

Nick Foles throwing long bombs for TDs put it out of reach.

If Brady wins his 6th Super Bowl obviously he’s the goat (after winning last year it basically solidified it). Would you say he’s the best ever in any sport? Awards and all included

If he's that good, why is he a backup?

Isn't it weird how he didn't win any championships for an entire decade, yet still has the most of all time?

Also weird how as of right now, he has as many rings as Kobe did in the NBA, but is seemingly considered as a higher tier player.

I'd say that Brady is a very fortunate guy who managed to end up playing for a franchise that helped him tremendously, by surrounding him with talent and getting away with shady (bleep) and help from the league.

Ecstatic that Philly is in SB. Not sure if Foles can play 3 straight great games, so not sure if they can win.

If you watch Carson Wentz play you would't be asking that question.

Yeah, not even close. Wentz is superstar material. Foles is a good backup or average starter.

I bet that the Pats are kicking themselves for trading Jimmy G. Rumor mill was that Brady wanted him traded but Kraft didn’t.

So much for the under on this one.
