The Pederson miracle

Really curious to see where our NFCE opponents rank on your list of disliked NFL teams. :laugh:

In the middle honestly...except WFT which is near the bottom just better than GB, PIT, maybe NE but I don't hate them as much as before the BB&B era ended. Ironically I don't hate Brady or the Bucs. KC is near the top of the teams I'd root for if the Cowboys don't win. I used to root for Seattle back in the legion of boom era (loved their defensive swagger and loved that they beat the Packers and rustled their jimmies in 2012 -- yes it was a catch), but they've grown stale on me the past few years. I also have a soft spot for the Bears and Lions because I hate GB.

I liked the Eagles with Wentz/Foles okay. Not really with McNabb, Vick, or Hurts.

Now that I think about it, at this moment I really don't have that much hate for the Team since they haven't won't jack since I started following football (97ish).

I can't stand the Giants but that it mostly due to me living in NYC and having to deal with their fans and media.

Philly I'm still salty at for winning a Super Bowl recently, and with a backup QB at that.

GB is actually probably my most hated team because I've never witnessed the Cowboys beat them in a playoff or otherwise meaningful game. They seem to have our number in recent years.

I hated GB even before 2014 though. The two strikes since have just added fuel to the fire. I hated Rodgers ever since he started and their evil smug fans booed Brett Favre because they shoved him out the door when he still wanted to play football and landed on the Vikings. I actually used to like GB okay when they had Favre. Favre was likeable and a pro's pro. Rodgers is a smugface and an arrogrant jerk. There's just something evil and conniving about that guy. He gives off a Saddam Hussein type of vibe. There's a reason he doesn't have a family and nobody likes him off the football field.

For me, growing up in the late 90s, 2000s and 2010s... I'm 28 now... the Three Musketeers of the NFC East are the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants. Always have been throughout my childhood and my life except for that odd RGIII year and a couple off years like last year and 2015 where the Deadskins only got in because of injuries to the rest of the division. But really the Skins to me are like that mentally challenged kid in a room of 4 kids... 3 intellectuals and 1 thumb-sucking idiot.

Rogers is one of my most disliked players in the league for the reasons you've just mentioned. I can't believe he was actually in the running to host Jeopardy! :omg:
 
The Patriots are 0-3 in Super Bowls I wanted them to win.
I hate the Patriots as much as anyone but I would rather see them win 20 Super Bowls before I see the Eagles win one.

I still haven't heard why the Patriots took their star CB out of that game.

Incorrect... he was stellar against the Vikings as well. Yes, the defense got 2 takeaways in the first half, but Foles was excellent as well. 38-7 doesn't happen by accident.

Foles was excellent throughout the 2013 and 2014 (before injury) season as well with the Eagles. He just hasn't been successful anywhere else.

He wasn't excellent in 2014. Completed less than 60% of his passes, 13 TDs to 10 interceptions, QB rating of 81.

..I thought everyone was hurt? Including OL members, all they had was scraps to input.

I remember them saying half team was hurt, basically.

The left side of their line was decimated that year, had to start a second and third-stringer. Their offensive line coach though, Jeff Stoutland, is fantastic. He has turned Jodan Mailata, a former rugby player with no American football experience, into a solid replacement for Jason Peters. Dude could be a Pro Bowler soon. Both starting guards this year are out. He took Landon Dickerson, their rookie, flipped his position, and now he is playing really good too as one of those guard replacements. Too bad Hurts can't take advantage of that O-line...Hurts leaves so many plays on the field. Eagles would have a winning record if they had a decent QB. But they don't, and I am happy.

Took a season for the NFL to figure out his offense.
Once they did, it was over.
But they got a super bowl victory out of it.

Nah, more like Wentz turned into a whining ***** and the o-line had to be rebuilt. Pederson was done dirty by the Eagles.

You must be a dyed in the wool Foles fan.

Timing and health is everything.........little luck also helps ( they learned their backup QB was actually better than the injured starter ).

That year Wentz was pretty great not sure what’s happened since then but Wentz wasn’t the issue that Super Bowl run

It was mainly just the Cheatriots losing making it a glorious moment. Just like when GB loses in the playoffs and Smugface #12 does his typical act of moping off the field by himself and not shaking anyone's hand.

Get it right: It's "Smirky McDBag".
 
It just depends on the season. The Eagles were lucky with how the NFC shaped out in 2017. They didn't have to play Rodgers or Brees in the playoffs and got lucky to play the #6 seed in the divisional round and then a Vikings team that overachieved in the regular season with Case Keenum.

The Cowboys are never lucky like that - this year they will have to deal with Brady, Rodgers, a hungry Rams team going all in to win, or a Cardinals team with a lot of talent.
 
Would’ve been cooler if you tilted it ‘The McCarthy Miracle’
 
I would prefer that the Patriots won that game.

If it came down to the Eagles or any AFC team it would be that AFC team.

I could never hate the Patriots enough to wish that a rival NFC East team beat them to win the Super Bowl.
 
That game ruined my favorite joke:

Did you hear? The Eagles front office was vandalized. They took off with the entire contents of their Super Bowl Trophy Room.

.....Police are still looking for two guys carrying around a green and white carpet.
