Thoughts From Eagles-Patriots

Victory! A Championship Worth Waiting For

You certainly couldn’t ask for a Super Bowl Championship in a grander fashion than what the Eagles delivered on Sunday night.

A shootout with five-time Super Bowl Champ Tom Brady? A game that went back and worth and went right down to the wire? A fourth and goal touchdown pass from a backup tight end to the backup quarterback?

Doug Pederson, who began the season having to listen to certain writers describe him as the most unqualified coach in NFL history, and reports that defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz was looking to usurp his position.

Doug guided the Eagles franchise to do something it had never done before. His playcalling was absolutely masterful in the post season, and the Super Bowl was no exception.

Pederson had his trademark aggressiveness on display on Sunday night. The fourth and goal call to throw a touchdown pass to Nick Foles may be the one moment from this season that will forever be burned into my memory.

Not only was it a critical call to give the Eagles a 10-point lead going into the half, but it was an absolutely epic shot a Belichick and Brady, who failed to execute almost the identical play earlier in the quarter.

Doug Pederson wasn’t a popular hire when he got the job. But he’s now buried and obliterated the fear that he was simply here to be a puppet and Andy Reid-lite. He’s proven be a true leader, and an elite playcaller.

Nick Foles Shines As Super Bowl MVP

Nick Foles will go down with one of the most unusual careers you’ll ever see.

A guy who seriously considered retirement after his career was nearly ruined by Jeff Fisher comes back to the team that originally drafted him, spends most of the year on the bench, and winds up guiding the team through the playoffs with three performances that will likely get him another chance to be a starting quarterback somewhere.

Foles looked comfortable and confident in the Super Bowl, delivering some absolutely picture-perfect passes on his was to throwing for over 370 yards and three touchdowns.

Some of the throws Foles made were just jaw dropping. Among his best moments were threading the ball between two Patriot defenders to Nelson Agholor, floating the ball to hit Corey Clement in stride for a big gain, and delivering touchdown strikes to Alshon Jeffery and Clement.

Imagine next season, Carson Wentz, a franchise quarterback and MVP candidate, backed up by Foles, a Super Bowl MVP who has a career post season quarterback rating of over 100.

On a night where the Eagles’ defense could do very little to slow the opposing offense down, Foles needed to produce points on nearly every drive in order for the team to have a chance of winning, and number 9 delivered, big time.

Foles has secured his spot as an Eagles legend.

Quick Thoughts

Offense

  • Think LeGarrette Blount was ready for this game? Blount picked up 90 yard on 14 carries against the team that cast him aside, scoring a touchdown and ripping off a 36-yard run early in the game that set up another score. Blount was such an impactful addition to this team, here’s to hoping the Eagles considering giving him another go round next year.
  • Corey Clement picked up 100 yards on four receptions, including his key touchdown in the third quarter. Remember when it was a debate whether or not the Eagles would keep Clement or Donnell Pumphrey out of the preseason?
  • Nelson Agholor has become one of the best bounce-back stories in Eagles’ history. Agholor was left for dead by many (myself included) at the end of last season, and now he had nine catches for 84 yards in the Super Bowl.
  • Torrey Smith was frustrating at times this season, but Doug Pederson never gave up on trying to work him into the offense, and it really paid off in the post season. Smith had a huge hand in the win over the Vikings, and also chipped in five catches for 49 yards in the Super Bowl.
  • Zach Ertz finished his breakout year with seven catches for 67 yards, and the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter.
  • By the way, how laughable/disgusting was it that Ertz’s catch was under review for as long as it was?
  • Halapoulivaati Vaitai finished off an impressive post season with another solid performance in the Super Bowl. He had some large shoes to fill when Jason Peters went down, but he really came on down the stretch.

Defense

  • Jim Schwartz’s group really got torn apart in this game, getting shredded for over 600 yards by the New England offense. They offered very little resistance, and were burned by the deep ball consistently. They allowed Tom Brady to throw for over 500 yards, and allowed three different 100 yard receivers.
  • However, the defense still dished out some key plays that helped swing the game.
  • Malcolm Jenkins’ hit on Brandin Cooks is another image that’s forever burned into my memory. The hit, completely clean and legal, took the Pats’ top wideout out of the game early on.
  • Rodney McLeod’s pile-driving tackle on third down was such a key moment in the game. Forcing New England to settle for a field goal attempt instead of scoring a touchdown was a key moment.
  • Last but not least Brandon Graham was the only Eagle to get to Tom Brady on the night, and he sure made it count, forcing the Eagles’ only turnover that helped seal the win.

Special Teams

  • Jake Elliot, drilled all three of his field goal attempts, and in true Jake Elliot fashion, missed an extra point.

Final Thoughts

It’s so hard to find the right words to really put this title into perspective.

As Eagle fans, we’ve all been through so much to get this point. Along the way, we’ve debated and bickered about everything from who the head coach should be, to whether or not certain guys were the answer at quarterback, to whether or not Howie Roseman could really build a Super Bowl winner.

But now, regardless of whether we’ve been right or wrong in the past, the goal has finally been reached. We can all come together and celebrate!

The 2017-18 Eagles will forever be remembered as a team that overcame so much and kept fighting. When key players went down, there was always someone to step up and carry on at a high level.

A season that began in Philadelphia with the 2017 NFL Draft will now come to a close with a parade, the likes of which the sporting world has never seen before.

Denny this team has shown an unbelievable level of focus and discipline all season. This Super Bowl is bittersweet for me mainly because I’ve recently “sent home” some very important people who were diabolical eagles fans. Wish the man upstairs could have given them a few more months.

Kudos to Doug Pederson the best head coach in the game. We’re set at qb for the next decade. We have a sb winning back up that now has a coach who knows how to use him. Best gm in the game. I smell a sick run coming.

Way to show sportsmanship Brady not shaking the SB MVP’S HAND.

Although Wentz didn’t play this postseason, you know he has learned off of this. Taking it all in, knowing what it’s like to go a Super Bowl and the pressure and media that comes with it etc

This team has the experience now. And that’s very very dangerous

Aweomse write up Denny! I appreciate you! Man i can’t stop thinking about nick. Just the insane guts, heady plays, money throws, wow!!! It’s like he was the goat last night. Just bananas how come he was and on point play after play. Clutch 3rd Downs and 4th Downs. Mannnn many would’ve choked multiple times that 4th and long on the wrong side of the 50 was the game and the man just hit the staples that was easy button. Many great qbs would’ve slipped up at some point. Shit the greatest to ever play Brady ended up making the mistake. Just wow

After Chip Kelly killed this team by trading away all our key players a few years ago I stopped coming to this site and couldn’t even get myself interested in the games enough to watch Sam Bradford or Sanchez.

Many of us were sick high on Foles and the possibilities this team could have been back then. It definitely has a sweetness to it seeing Foles get vindicated Sunday night.

Pederson has definitely proved to be the man we been looking for as a coach! Just hope we can turn this into a few more years.

Carson Wentz tore two ligaments ( MCL & LCL). Double trouble but both those ligaments are the outside ligaments. RG3 tore the interior ligaments and couldn’t recover competently. Start of the 2018 season is 9 months from injury date. Wentz is going to insist he start week one.
Jason Peters tore two ligaments ( MCL & ACL ) One on the inside and one outside. He will probably always be a better run blocker than Big V but we will see how he back pedals on passing downs. Training camp battle with 80 to 20 % edge to Peters.
Darren Sproles says he wants to return but he isn’t under contract. Neither is LaGarrette Blount. Finacially I don’t think both will be back maybe neither. Interested to see what happens here.
Jordon Hick Achilles tendon injury, he should be be ready for start of season but the LB spot will have at least 2 draft picks in camp possible a first rounder especially if Bradham doesn’t resign. If the Eagles sign a LB in free agent I doubt that player will sign without a promise to be the starter and a high draft pick will be given playing time. This is where change could occur. I think Bradham cashes in on a bigger FA deal.

Sixers on National TV ( TNT) tonight. 8:00 pm EST against Washington. Sixers have only committed 2nd round draft choices in trade talks not first rounders. Wonder if anything happens? This Markelle Fultz kid is really frustrating. Last game played was 10/23/2017. More than 3 and half months ago. (long enough to heal. ) Washington and Philly are the closest teams to Markelle’s childhood Maryland home. He should be playing in this game.

The tendency will be to keep the core players of a championship roster. So we need see where it’s both economically and a position of needed upgrade from the status quo. Will guys give a home team discount and will peters be an option. I’d assume Torrey Smith is gone with a cheaper version in our North Carolina pick. We need upgrade the back end and truly of all the holes ,none are pressing or obvious. That’s a hats off to Howie the fiscal warrior. He swallowed his pride and shit thunder and lightning

Then calling the Eagles an AVERAGE at best MEH team Funny, none of these clowns will dare come on to do a mea culpa or a simple congratulations to the Eagles. None of them were ever Eagles fans..just agitating Mike Vick following trolls. I read TS Johnson’s posts on cat scratch reader during the SB game. She said Foles is still not a good QB, did not want to hear anything about Wentz being good based on Foles’ performance and that Eagles fans are insufferable and will be even more so now that “THEY” have a championship.

Nah…we’ll just agree to disagree. EHL. Many of the problem posters are still here. The place has been turned into a graveyard not because of different opinions on players or staff, but caustic, trollish, juvenile antics of some who feel they can dictate how someone roots for their team.

Some of us have been here long enough to witness how disrespectful and negative these same posters were then. I’m happy my team won, but it ain’t in me to let bs and hypocrisy slide.
I often disagreed with these so called fake fans you call out, but I respected their right to have a countering opinion because they were eagle fans like me. I personally like many(not all) more than some of these simps acting like this is their personal fan club.
So congrats to my eagles and hopefully many of the old posters will come back to this place and bring some balance.

Doug pederson also ran a lot of what chip Kelly ran this season, especially when nick foles came in.

I like the ring idea , with a mocked up caricature of a foolish looking chipper on it , And not only did the Dougster win the 1 st philly super bowl, but without a doubt, he outcoached the Zen master of coaching, in Belichick . Would anyone have layed a bet in Vegas on that happening the day Mr lurie name Doug as H.C. ? I have been following Eagle football since I was round bout 12 years old, and must admit all of these years with no trophy, took a toll on my belief it would ever happen, Thank you Mr Lurie , Howie, and the best coaching staff in the nfl.

Bill Pollian just said that HIS asking price would be HIGH, VERY HIGH…. like multiple ones and twos. He thinks Foles contract situation would actually bring that down but come on…. how bout a one, third and future two or something…. he says guy is a SB MVP….every team wants a guy that can do that.

Chip Kelly was not who I wanted when Reid was fired. I liked what i saw during the first season as his play design was refreshing. However, the second year i soured on him once DJax was traded…hated that move and the way it all went down. I did not trust him and was out on him being a viable HC to lead this team. DC’s picked up on his play calling and figured him out. Kelly showed no ability or perhaps desire to adjust and was exposed as a joke of an over matched coach.
I was not sure about Coach P but I definitely was happily willing to give him a fair chance just because he was not Chip Kelly. He exceeded my expectation at this point. He’s everything LLCB was supposed to be and just out coached Bill Bellichick and ran circles around Matt Patricia making him look silly.

Further, people laughed at Jeff Lurie for the emotional intelligence saying..Lurie was right. Props to him too for seeing the mistake known as Chip Kelly and correcting it.

LLCB ruined any chance at having a good cultured locker room after allowing Riley Cooper to not only stay but extending him after his racist rant at the country music concert, then cutting DeSean Jackson. Jason peters had no desire to play hard for Chip Kelly and we all know why. The fact is there were plenty of players in the locker room who no longer cared for kelly after some of his personnel moves and the way he conducted himself as a non approachable stand offish person. Demarco Murray was Chip’s guy, and he could not stand Chip…complained to Lurie about him in less than a season. Chip couldn’t see the forest through the trees.

Here’s a few parting words Foles left for the stiff’s jock sniffers…….

Foles addressed the media for the first time since Week 9 and when asked about next year he said “I expect to be back here. I expect to be the quarterback. I love my teammates and I expect to be back out there leading them.” Expect another off-season of “Is Nick Foles the guy?”

Nick will now have new teammates to love along with a new team that he can “promise to get better”, after throwing off his back foot.

Anyways.

Guys, what are your thoughts on what team Chip is in talks with so the Eagles can swoop in and get Mariota?

Its addition by way of subtraction

He agreed: Nick Foles is a bum and not a Franchise QB

I’m not a wimpy,spineless flip-flopper that hides and wimps out anytime something does not go the way I predicted….like you do E
My predictions followed a logical and reasonable pattern…the Eagles forked over a massive $36 million dollar contract with $22 million guaranteed…
Anyone with half a brain would call that Franchise QB money
Then through a series of lucky breaks and dumb moves-that Eagles Management have made on the fly- the Eagles found themselves with the second pick of the draft where they will now make what I am calling a dumb and stupid move…they will draft Carson Wentz…who I predict will be a bust!
EHL, you are a complete fraud and idiot..the end of the day hasn’t come yet…the end of the day will be when Wentz is carrying a Super Bowl trophy at the parade down Broad St…until that day…you and your idiot crew haven’t proven a thing…and as I said…If we see that day…I will eat my crow in joyous celebration…I will say..”pass the mustard for my crow to eat about Wentz”…

You and I both were fed up with Kelce earlier because his play wasn’t becoming of a quality starting center. Thankfully his play improved tremendously and my suspicion is Pederson’s leadership, coaching/direction has much to do with it. Kelce’s poor play the last 2 years wasn’t a figment of any knowledgeable fans imagination. But we’re all glad that it improved. Just like sb mvp Foles play his last stint here didn’t help his prospects as a starter. He was rightfully replaced by Vick, but as we see know pop warner offense of llcb was as much to blame. Foles also looked horrible when given the reigns in St Louis. But in his defense, he was under the idiot Fisher.
I’m happy he’s resurrected his career. Always liked him. He always (as I’ve stated numerous times) passed the eye test. Apparently he just needed the right coach and system to flourish.

You’re more of troll than any of the other posters you bark about constantly. And I acknowledge my mistake with the Foles and Vick comment. Vick beat Foles out fair and square before the season started. Vick actually replaced the sacred cow Kolb that you and many that still post here elevated to deity status until he flamed out of the league.
But carry on with your revisionist history and selective criteria to what makes a legitimate fan.

I really wonder what Andy Reid thinks and feels about being a head coach for 18 years and not winning the super bowl. Yet, his understudy and OC at KC wins a SB in his second year with a bevy of injuries to starting players. I believe Reid is happy for Doug, however, the human nature aspect of it makes me wonder what else Andy is thinking and feeling. I know the people on Arrowhead Pride do not feel good about it.

In hindsight Foles always starts this way. The knock on him was durability with his first stint in Philly. 2013 He had a pro bowl season ( 27-2). In 2014 Foles had a 6-2 record as a starter for the Eagles then was injured. 2015 is a toss out year, that team was so bad and Jeff Fisher is inept as an offensive leader. 2016 He was very competent as Alex Smith’s backup for 2 starts both wins. 2017 competent again and wins the super bowl. The only seasons Nick Foles was questionable was his Rookie year and that St Louis Ram season. The other 4 years of his career he was an above average NFL QB.

The dude is 19-5 in philly outside his rookie year. Keep in mind we didn’t beat the Redskins for 3 years after we lost
Nick foles.

Skins beat Sanchez, Bradford(2) Wentz (2). Nick foles was our franchise qb before chip Kelly sent him away after going 29-2 including playoffs. Then came back and went 7-2

At least I thought foles was gonna be the franchise guy!! When we got Bradford I was optimistic chip could work wonders with him since he was with the shitty ass Rams also!!

He is championship ready right now. Jerry West or Pat Riley would have the best record in the NBA right now if Joel Embiid was their player with all the assets Colangelo had at his disposal before he blew it. ABJECT FAILURE. He squandered 5 first round draft picks and 80 million in cap space and doesn’t have a point guard capable of crediting space for Joel Embiid.

Dude moves just like a more athletic Brady. He got the chance to learn off the best, and Bill B was IN LOVE with him. That tells u something.

49ers with a few good FA signings (2-3 max) and a solid draft and they are set!!

I proved you wrong with an Article by Ruben Frank documenting Sudfeld coping with his “decision” to leave Washington for Philadelphia. In the article by Ruben Frank he clearly writes Washington was expected to add him to their practice squad. Sudfeld had a choice which practice squad he wished to continue his NFL career.Which leads us back to my comment written today.

THERE WAS NO TAKING (TOOK- your word) THERE WAS A DECISION WHICH SUDFELD MADE !!!!!!!!!!! To sign a practice squad contract with the Eagles over the expected practice squad contract Washington was to make. Again NO TOOK YES DECISION MADE by Sudfeld. I recommend you stop conjured up nonsense in your head.

Here is the article by Ruben Frank of CSNPHILLY.
“QB Nate Sudfeld makes ‘very tough call’ to join Eagles, leave Redskins”
That is literally the title of the Ruben Frank’s article. You are welcome to read it and apologize to me.

Every expert analyst before the playoffs ranked foles 12 out of 12 of qbs in the playoffs… losing to Bortles, Marriotta, etc….. I wonder how that would go now. I guess you’d rank Brady and Ben have won more SB. Breeze and Foles each one… hmmm

Sixers played well tonight in an easy home victory of the Pelicans. Embiid is special. He so dominate. Saric is playing great basketball. Happy to see the 2nd team hold onto that 28 point 4th quarter lead to enable Brett Brown to sit his starters in the 4th quarter for tomorrow’s back to back New Orleans/LA Clipper games. Last week Brett Brown was forced to reinsert his starters in the first leg of back to back games because they coughed up a twenty point lead in the 4th.

Sixers should be 28-25 after tomorrow!! It’s vital they end off on a great note right before the Allstar break! Give them great momentum for the next 25-26 games

Markelle not getting on the court is huge and sets the process back. Would be nice to give him experience so they can get some
Growing pains out of the way heading into
Next season with playoff experience

The two coaching losses will be tough. They obviously were in sync with each other. I have to assume Duece will be OC? They guy has had HC interviews… seems like his time.
As for who to keep… offensively 5hey committed to Alshon and Ertz…. there is only so much money… and they seem to be a plug and play team… I dunno bout smith, not sure what his number is.

Eagles at least got to keep Frank R and coach Flip for two years during Carson’s rookie and sophomore years.

Those are probably the most vital years in a young pros career.

We will be fine. As long as we have Doug Pederson and that DC Jim Schwartz, there will be no problems

Promote Duce Staley and right off the bat u have another familiar face in the offense.

We won’t lose a beat

Carson is a big boy now– he can coach himself-
interesting to see if flip brings foles– he obviously knows how to coach him, won a SB with him, got a promotion because of him (partly)… with their defense…. foles etc… dunno.

Its interesting, cause the Atlanta falcons lost there qb coach and OC the following season after there Super Bowl collapse

It was noticeable for sure.

I think we have a better team then Atlanta. And QB. Not
To mention our HC is a offensive guy and a play caller. Dan Quinn is not

It’s funny. How many people laughed at me when I said nick foles is better then :

Winston
Newton
Mariota
Alex smith
Ryan tannheill
Matt Ryan
Case Keenum
Dak
Kirk cousins
Eli manning
Carson palmer
Derek Carr
Trevor S
Joe flacco
Andy dalton

I remember that… remember that the experts and the dummies rated him 12 out of 12 in playoff qbs …
Right now if you compare body of work he is a lot better than cousins

He shits on Third Cousins in so many ways

What makes Nick Foles so special is that he is Tom Brady poise.

The dude never gets rattled and stays poised. The moment never is too big for him.

He looks at football like a game. Nothing more nothing less. Some guys choke up in the big moment and the hype becomes to overwhelming.

Carson is the same exact way. Those two being in the same locker room with all these ex Qbs (pederson, Reich, Flip) paid off big time!

Thank god Howie blocked Flip last season!

wonder who the Eagles will hire to replace Reich & DeFilippo? I’ve read articles that indicate Jeff Stoutland organizes the Eagle run game for Pederson. Duce Staley received a head coaching interview by the eagles. Seems logical that one of them get a bump in pay.

Marco Belinelli to the Sixers? TLC and Bayless can’t be happy about that.
TJ McConnell is getting the most minutes off the bench so he is officially their sixth man. Wonder who will get more bench minutes between Marco and TJ in a few weeks. It looks like Brett Brown is giving Anderson minutes as Covington’s backup. Rotation is set. Brett Brown is giving his starters 33 minutes a game & 15 minutes to reserves ( TJ, Amir, Anderson, Booker, now Belinelli).
NY Knicks next tonight without an injured Porzingis.
