We're On To The Eagles

[fnordcircle]

The big problem for us is that we tend to come out and play tentatively the first few drives of the Super Bowl, probably because our coaching staff believes that keeping the game close favors us more than the other team because of who we have under center.

So I'm not convinced we'll get up on them big early as much as I'd love it. I think we play to keep it close to start and then adjust.

If only we had Edelman

Yup, i feel ‘fine’ as long as one of the two are in... like last year we managed fine w/o gronk, this year w/o edelman, when gronk was out against mia and tb (I think) offense really struggled. Today was an incredible performance by brady/cooks/amendola but really testing it if we need to beat Philadelphia too without em.

Patricia’s last game as pats DC will take care of Eagles high fly offense.

BTW.... Imagine all the Giants fans having to watch a Pats/Eagles superbowl.... I live in the middle of Giants land....

Monday morning in the office can't come soon enough!

Considering 2007 and 2011 I'm not sure why the Giants would hate us. Reddit Giants fans post about how they're gonna root for us no problem. They really hate the Eagles.

Collinsworthless will call game again. One of the greatest drives in SB history and instead of talking about what's going on he blabbed for like 3 minutes about taking to Brady about ball pressure.

He has the attention span of a squirrel.

Brady seems to have one or two WTF monuments in recent SB games. I predict Brady will be picked off at least once in this SB. But Pats will win regardless.

Mariota, Bortles, Foles. Unreal.

This was easily the best possible outcome for the Pats. I don’t see how we lose this one if Gronk is healthy.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

No chance it'll be " easy". Brady struggled in the first three quarters vs the Seahawks & Atlanta D.

Can he break the MVP curse? We will see. He likely will get the MVP. I just don't wanna see these slow starts.

 

[RIpats88]

so, i havent watched many eagles games this year. What are their weakness' on defense that brady can exploit?

It's going to be a long two weeks at work...A transplanted Bostonian in the heart of Eagles country.......

The steelers would have been tough but we know Brady's their daddy. We where the best team in the AFC.

 

[MoreBellhorn]

Thought this would be the matchup but with Wentz. Foles is 10x the QB Bortles is. I won't be sleeping on them.

 

[UGAPatsfan]

Saints are by far the best NFC team with Brees. It's not close

Saints defense is awful.

Foles looks friggin incredible tonight. They have a very good WR core, 2 good RB’s, and a serviceable TE. On D, they can pressure. Best team we have seen all year and that isn’t hyperbole

I would say that they have a far more than "serviceable" TE.

You live surrounded by Philly fans? Jesus, dude, win or lose I'd be moving ASAP. It doesn't end well for you either way.

I’ve seen this sentiment a few times on here recently. I think there is an approximately 0% chance that the game plan is something other than trying to score as early and as often as possible.

Lulz at all the idiot conspiracy theorists who actually thought the NFL accidentally leaked the rigged outcome of the championship games.

There are some salty Giants mother****ers fans in my offense who can't let go of the 'cheaters' ********.... you should see it... 40 years old men, acting like 5 year old girls.
