I hope Philly can somehow scrounge out a win in the SB.
Kruddler, shame the Vikings chose today to put in their worst performance.
Worst performance and by a fair margin.
As i just got through saying, 3rd down conversions was pathetic and never gave us a chance.
Still, we ended the season with a QB who was 3rd string at the start of the year, and our running back duo were #2+#3 also. Exceeded expectations, and the fairytale home superbowl was not to be.
Looks like we'll lose our OC to the Giants head coaching position, so good be tough to repeat next year.

Yes it was surprising how many deep plays the Eagles completed, but Rhodes'injury early on didnt help.
Lets hope between Foles and Alshon Jeffrey they can do it for one more game.

To have lost Sproules, Hicks, Peters and Wenz and still make the Super Bowl is remarkable. Still no one rates the Eagles, the "D" will be the difference, the Pats are vulnerable to a four man rush and then throw Fletcher Cox at Brady. Two highly rated offences only scored 17 points against Philly in the two play off games. Foles just has to repeat his last two performances, run the ball, and let Chris Long and Jenkins monster the Pat's Offence.

See, i saw the big 'poor philly' injuries piece they did during the game...and....well....i know its a philly home game, but it pissed me off.
Oh, so you lost your QB after you are quaranteed playoffs?
We, lost our #1 QB Teddy Bridgewater 2 years ago...still recovering. We lost our #2 QB after week 1 when he was NFC player of the week.
We, lost our best ever RB and future hall of famer Adrian Peterson in the off-season...we started with a rookie RB who was breaking all kinds of records that even AP couldn't get near. Yeah, we lost him to a knee in about week 5. Gone for the year.
Already gone through CB and safety issues going into the game.
Had pro-bowler WR Thielen who hurt his back last week. Then 1st quarter our other WR Diggs hurt his back too.
Former pro-bowl MVP TE Rudolph has been playing injured as well.
We've had 8 different starting setups in our OL due to injuries too.
But yeah, poor Philly.
Every team has injuries, but playing the 'injuries' card coming up against us is a bit much given what we went through this year.
As for coming up against a good offence....vikes don't have a good offence. They have an average one, partly due to all of the above.
Good on Philly for getting there, but the 'underdog' card they keep playing is BS.
Re: The NFL thread - hanwell - 01-24-2018
Yeah Krudler but the Eagles are in the Super Bowl, they crushed the Vikings.... 8) 8) 8)

Hence, why i don't buy the 'poor eagles underdogs' BS
Re: The NFL thread - hanwell - 01-27-2018
You wont find any eagles supporter crying "poor us", we didn't set the odds, eagles have been the least favoured team in every playoff, hence "under-dogs"..... It's over for the Vikes Krud, be gracious.......

Note my issues was the commentators during the coverage of the game, not the result.
You guys finished atop the NFC and although you had a shaky period during the QB transition, you deserve to be there.
However, every team has injuries and i don't think you had anymore than your fair share. You should've started favourites @home vs Vikes, but didn't. I don't set the odds either.
Re: The NFL thread - Jofo - 01-28-2018
It's all irrelevant. The Pats are favoured to win and win, they will. Number 6 is 8 days away.
Re: The NFL thread - hanwell - 01-29-2018
Join the queue Jofo, this Eagles team is all about the "team", no matter who gets injured, bring it on, the Pats (as I have said) super vulnerable to a four man rush defence, that is exactly how the Eagles play, Brady has to depend entirely on his front line to give him time meantime Young and Jenkins swarm him around the side, and then there is always Fletcher Cox.......
