Pretty good game. A bit of a chess game. Philly takes it and has earned it.
Brady had an incredible game yardage-wise...
...I'm a Patriot Nation man, but all respect and Congratulations to Philadelphia for a hard-earned and very smart, well-played, well-deserved, win.

Are you having a flashback to 2012? She congratulated Eagles fans that she met:Quote

Patriots go down in flames. Brady the sore loser running off the field at the end. His wife Giselle bitching at the elevator. Malcolm Butler crying during anthem and never steps foot on the field for the defense. Brandin Cooks TKO'd after a catch. Brady strip-sacked, no comeback, game over.
Eagles win. This was the most humble win I've seen. Good for them and thanks for beating Brady and the Patriots.

Sometimes running the ball 3 times and kicking a field goal is a good idea.
The Eagles obviously knew this. Last year,the Falcons did not and it most likely cost them the championship.
Philadelphia ran the ball 3 times and kicked a field goal to extend their lead to 8 points with 1:05 remaining in the game.
Atlanta could have done the same last year and extended their lead to 10 points with about four minutes to play in that game ..... but decided to call a passing play which resulted in disaster.

Maybe it's just that the there are no posters from the Philly area on this thread, but I have been surprised about how little respect the Eagles get, even after dominating the so-called best defense (Vikes) with a so-called backup quarterback (Foles).
The Pats are vulnerable and not invincible. We saw that during the regular season. They've lost SBs when favored before and barely won the last two (Seattle and Atlanta totally choked). Eagles are not a fluke.
So I think 5-6 point underdog is about right, but beware of the intangibles. I may be back to gloat 2 weeks from today.

Tom not shaking Foles' hand is a supremely dick move.

Here I am to gloat. Just saying . . . I think I called it. Great game for the entirety. Both teams great. Eagles greater this time.

Good call.
My team lost. I admire Foles a lot; he totally earned that win.
Tom threw for 505 yards; and has not a thing to be ashamed of in that regard.
It's a historic record.
I'm disappointed to hear that Brady wouldn't shake Foles hand and give him an 'attaboy.'
If that's true, and there weren't extenuating security concerns with the crowds or something, it shows a lack of sportsmanship I regret.
HBK, what should the Pats have done w Philly to secure a win yesterday in your opinion? Did they make a critical strategic mistake somewhere along the way?
Was it just the proverbial 'breaks.' They were obviously vulnerable but also Tom had a brilliant day and the best receivers were there for him.
We just got out-classed and out-played I guess.
Some of those Philly receptions on long throws with close coverage were beyond skillful and disciplined.
They really shone. Not so much the Jerks in Philly who equate looting and rioting with millionaires winning a ball game.
It was a great game. As a Sports fan I'm very happy with that game; it held me all the way through...
honestly, no dis-respect intended, I totally skipped the half-time show.
We've had many days in the sun; our Five NE states....
and many days of heart-ache cause Sox...lol...
I feel great about Philly and Foles coming to the fore; seems like a great guy.
Was Brady interviewed after the game?
I'm looking for that now, if anybody knows what he said or has a link, thank you.

But Brady isn't a receiver and the pass was outside his fingertips. Put the ball on his chest and move on.

He makes Drew Brees look like a 20 year old.
And how many championships would Karl Malone or Patrick Ewing have if Michael Jordan had never existed?Quote

You do know if Brees had gotten to more Super Bowls he would've set so many records Brady wouldn't have any of that.

Brees probably has more natural passing gifts. He has 4000 more yards and is tied with Brady for TDs (488) despite having one less year in the league.
Brady benefits from being in Belichick's system, but I'd still take Brady's mental edge in high-pressure situations any day.

It's just a fact that Brees is a better QB than Brady. His stats prove that he would've set various Super Bowl records.

Facts are verifiable. Lots of also rans in the GOAT category.
Hate him, but Brady has the receipts that matter.

As a lifetime fan of football, I enjoyed the game immensely. Though my teams weren't in it (Rams, Seahawks), it was very entertaining to watch.
I enjoyed all the interaction on this thread throughout the season and I'm looking forward to next season already! But first, baseball!
See you all on this thread later in the year.
