Super Bowl Predictions?

[soccerdad72]

I heard Arizona and Cleveland could use a QB.

We'll take him (we = Cleveland )

I doubt he'd come here - I would think he would retire first.

Duck, I have to ask you as an Eagles fan. What do you want the team to do about QB now? Do you bench a Super Bowl winning QB and go back to Wentz, or do you stick with Foles? What a predicament.

It's a great predicament to have though. I think most teams will now see you do need to have a quality backup QB (look at what happened last year to the Raiders and in prior years to other teams who didn't have that security). Foles as repeatedly said he is fine backing up Carson when he returns next year (which could be October for all we know). That's what has been great about this Eagles team - it truly is a team mentality. Running backs don't complain about getting their "touches", our best WR (Alshon) is the least diva WR you'll ever see and doesn't worry about his numbers, and every one steps up when a man goes down.
Now I'm sure some teams will come knocking with trade offers for Foles, but since he's only under contract one more year and you don't know when Carson will come back, I'd think you can't trade him yet. And honestly, trading Carson isn't even an option. He is the Eagles QB for the next 10-15 years.

And FINALLY!!! Super Bowl Champs!!!!!

See, that's the thing I see about Nick. He was a seminary student. He wants to be a pastor after his football career is over. I honestly don't think he has the ego to feel like he can't be happy as a backup for a little while. And then he'll retire and go preach somewhere.

Hey, the Browns could be the next long-tortured fan base to get a title. You never know. Look at all the tortured fan bases who've gotten titles in the past 15 years.....the Eagles, Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros, the Angels, Seahawks, Saints, Buccaneers, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Kings and of course - the Cleveland Cavaliers. You never know when it's the Browns year (although I'd wager the Indians would win it before the Browns).

My point is how would you like it if I said the Eagles victory was tainted by the refs? I wouldn't because I credit the opposition when the win.

. You do know that 2 of the Eagles TD's shouldn't have counted don't you?

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

Nope, they'll always remember this as the day Belichick's ego cost the team a title by not playing their best defensive player.

FUUUUUMBLEEE!!!!!

 

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

Right because "fans" like you are so classy that you can't think of anything better to say when the Pats have success, then to throw insults at them by saying they cheat. Nice...

Sincerely, Lance Armstrong.

That's all I'm saying. You do know that 2 of the Eagles TD's shouldn't have counted don't you? On the TD that Foles caught the Eagles should have been penalized for illegal formation. It was even tweeted out at the time with a picture of the wide receiver who wasn't lined up correctly. Then on the TD catch were the running back goes out of the back of the end zone everyone in the world could see he never had possession on the ball. It was moving the entire time he was in bounds with it, but the replay official didn't see it that way. I haven't heard 1 talking head today say that they thought it was a catch. If the Pats got those 2 breaks the entire country would be in an uproar, but when it goes against the Pats it's all good. My point is how would you like it if I said the Eagles victory was tainted by the refs? I wouldn't because I credit the opposition when the win. Sometimes your team gets the breaks sometimes they don't.

Dang refs. And they forgot to call some made up rule like the tuck rule on Brady's Fumble too!!!!

Why would you want to subject the poor guy to that torture?

Seriously, I wonder if he'd consider something like that. He already went down that road. Was with a team that he was very successful with coming off the bench....the Eagles. That team had talent. Then went to the Rams to be the starter. That team had zero talent, and he floundered. It nearly made him quit the game. He returned to KC as a back up because he loved Andy Reid. He came back to Philly, which as displayed yesterday, has a very talented roster. Would he really want to go back to a 2-14 team or 0-16 in the Browns case. Teams like that are usually not just a QB away from being contenders...they're "rebuilding". He may be happier just staying in Philly and being a back up.

I know - I seriously doubt if he'd bother with something like the Browns. I assume he'll stay another year or two as Wentz's backup and then retire with his Super Bowl MVP trophy.

We're holding out hope right now on destroying Kirk Cousins' career next.

Well the Pats gave the niners their QB of the future for a second round pick. It only holds fair that the Eagles should do the same and give you Wentz for a second round pick.

You're going to get the Chosen Rosen. And he'll be banged out of the league within 2 years. Or you could take Darnold, who had more turnovers than like 85 FBS teams just by himself.

Thanks for letting me relive this era. This morning I told my 7 year old about the two times the Pats were penalized for cheating (Spygate and Deflategate).

What evidence?

The evidence some Pats fans keep denying exists.

Indisputable facts: prior to the investigation, McNally referred to himself as 'the deflator' in text message between him and another Pats employee. McNally received valuable memorabilia from TB. McNally insinuated he has a scandalous story to tell ESPN. There is video of McNally inappropriately taking the game balls into a locked room *after* the referees had inspected them (there was a restroom in the officials' locker room).

Anyone with common sense knows what really happened.

What really happened? I lost my common sense a long time ago...

Do the Pats really run such a dis-organised ship that a game-day-only employee took it upon himself to tamper with the GOATs footballs? Without any direction from the Pats or TB? He just took it upon himself? Astounding!!!!

Super Bowl prediction? Lions - Super Bowl LIII champs.



Okay, so I'll show myself out.

God you’re boring...... why don’t you tell us about your first date!

 

[GAN]

So what is the New England press saying about that? What was the story there?
- Philly girl who hadn't even heard of the guy until the super bowl, but is intrigued by what is clearly a big story

Pretty sure it was something he did/said ...Rowe was his replacement and he said he found out he was starting at kickoff. Butler was clearly crying during the opening ceremony. You do it Belichicks way or you’re out ...there have been dozens of “good” players that Belichick let walk for principle alone -he doesn’t care how good players are. It’s kind of hard to dispute when he basically takes his team to the Super Bowl every other year.

Yep, and now apparently Butler may be "On to Cincinnati". Sorry, I couldn't resist.

We don’t care where he goes ....if Belichick says it must be, it must be. Being the best, consistently, requires sacrifice. Whether it’s football or something else.

That kind of talk makes me think being a Lions fan definitely has its perks.

Just saw the 2019 Super Bowl odds posted in Vegas - 100:1 for the Browns.
