The Eagles in the Super Bowl is great for us Eagles haters

[Blue&Silver]

It's not great news for me. I'd love to win a championship, and go to a Super Bowl even if we didn't win. If you go to a Super Bowl you always have the opportunity to win, and sadly I just don't see the patriots winning not that I want them to win either. The only consolation prize is it keeps me interested where last year I didn't even watch the Super Bowl. At least I have a clear team I'll be rooting against. Other than that for us it's just another level of embarrassment.

There is nothing great about the Eagles making the Superbowl if you are a Cowboys fan

Damn my worst football nightmare. Most hated team (Eagles) versus the team I hate to see win the SB virtually every year.

This pretty much sums it up. I would love to watch Dallas make a Superbowl run but with the direction football in general is headed, and with so many other interests outside of football, I simply don't invest any time in watching football with the goal of hoping a hated team doesn't win, especially when there are two playing each other. I don't see Philly never winning a Superbowl or New England not reaching 6 helping with the fact that Dallas simply doesn't compete for championships anymore.

You aren't looking at the big picture of his career or any of the details. You just branded him. The fact is that Foles was a pro bowl QB before chip kelly arrived, got rid of his best wrs, and changed the offensive system. He then went to St louis which had no OL and no offensive weapons. He ended up back with his old coach in KC but Alex Smith was the entrenched starter. Go look at what he did in KC in the 2 starts he got. He won both games and played the kind of football that got him to the pro bowl. When Howie Roseman got the chance to bring Foles back to philly, he jumped. It just goes to show you how important an offensive system is in making a QB.

What is Nick Foles record with Kansas City and the Eagles?

This is the worst SB matchup of all time in the history of the WORLD. I wouldn't feel bad if the scoreboard fell on both teams. Ya, I said it.

Did Pederson and the Eagles sandbag in the Dallas game? They got good again....ALL OF A SUDDEN. Foles looks like an All-Pro. ALL OF A SUDDEN. Tearing up the best defense in the NFL like it was paper.

He's 16-6 when you subtract the lost chip kelly year and the 6-0 meaningless game philly lost to dallas this past year.

Eagles are built for the long haul. We’ve got Jerry, Stephen, and Jason trying to figure out how to catch them. Let that sink in.

Was there ever a question? We beat their pre-season squad 6-0.

I hate seeing the eaglets succeed too. But the silver lining may be that Jerry is forced to watch a division rival build a winner the right way.

Maybe he will learn something. Maybe on the 22nd straight year of “his way” giving us nothing more than hoping to get lucky, he will realize having a powerless puppet coach his team is a failing strategy.

Maybe....

Jerry and company are not trying to figure out how to catch them. When fans realize that the way they evaluate success is far different than other franchises who have GM's and coaches whose job is on the line with failure on the football field. Jerry made money and the money keeps coming in. That equals success in Jerry's world. The rest is just talk from the salesman to keep you buying his product.

The Eagles are clearly the better team up and down the roster, and it’s not even close. If the Patriots beat them, it solidifies Belichick and Brady as football gods.

They've solidified that already. In my years as a sports fan I've never seen anything like the Patriots. Maybe the 60-70's Lakers and Celtics, the 70's Edmonton Oilers in hockey when Gretzky was there, the very early Montreal Canadiens in hockey. The only sports team I've watched do anything similar to what the Patriots have done over the past 10-12 years is the Oilers. Not only do you have to have skill and talent across the team but the average have to be coached up to be above average and damned if the fire doesn't have to stay hot over the years. Keeping the desire and fire is a testament to the franchise.

Brady is one cool customer, he has seen everything. The only player in sports who I remember put the entire team on his shoulders like Brady does is MJ. In ways I'm blessed to have watched the three greatest players of my era... Gretzky, Jordan and Brady

If the Eagles win the SB it will be one of the biggest upsets in NFL history. They will be big underdogs and underdogs rarely win the SB. Karma catches up to them eventually. The Eagles may be more talented at some positions but they're lacking two things. A great QB who has seen it all and a coaching staff that prepares their team to play like none other. The Malcolm Butler interception against the Seahawks had been practiced over and over in the week leading up to the game until Butler got it right. They are incredibly well coached and rarely make mistakes

Dude, look at my join date. Re-evaluate what I could have said on this forum about the Cowboys, Dak, or anyone else last season.

Fair enough, why are you not sold on Wentz?

 

[cowboy_ron]

As long as they lose by 1 point.....just to rip their hearts out.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Rooting for New England. Them getting six is better than the Eagles getting one. That city and fan base doesn't deserve anything

 

[northerncowboynation]

I actually think the Eagles are going to win, as much as it pains me to say it.

I don't and it pains me as much to say the Patriots win. The Eagles bubble will collapse. The Pats have only lost one SB with Brady at QB and they've played much better teams than the 2017 Eagles. The last Eagles team they defeated in the SB was better than this one. I would never bet against Brady. The guy is amazing in his ability to rally the team around him, he bleeds self-confidence and his team accepts the transfusion

When the Eagles win, America will realize exactly how overhyped Wentz is

That’s funny, that’s a good one. Thanks for the laugh.

 

[River82]

He had a lot of problems last year, and suddenly he's a world beater this year. Way to early to make a call and he undeniably has a great team around him to help out, and a good coaching staff. He may have talent but so do most of the QBs in the league.

Also ACL tears are devastating to athletes (affects mobility) so I want to see how he recovers from that.

 

[condoin125]

I would rather Philly win than NE getting a 6th SB.
