EAGLES AND PATROITS SUPER BOWL THREAD

I didn't think the Eagles were touring until much later this year. Fuck 'em, who wants to see them after they kicked me out of the band anyway. I f***ing wrote Hotel California for Christ's sake.

Never heard of the Patriots, ...are they opening for them?..do they need a guitarist?

Well.. we now know who is in it. Post your winner and final score.

Patriots 28

Eagles 13

But hoping the eagles somehow pull it off.

Pats 34

Eagles 10

iggles 31, pats 20

Da' Birds 27, Pats 24

34-14 pats. you could tell who's going to win the super bowl just by how the teams reacted after their conference championship wins. eagles were crying and running around the field with their trophy like they won the stanley cup. pats were shaking hands and walking off the field like any other week.

No way do the "just happy to be theres" score two touchdowns on the Pats.

Again, it's borderline unfair giving Belichick 2 weeks to prepare for a big game.

The reason the Eagles were so happy that they won was because THEY HAD LOST THAT GAME THE PAST 3 YEARS. If they would have lost Philadelphia would have been burnt down. However, believe me the players and the fans are not satisfied with just going to the big show. We have been teased since 93' by the Sixers, Flyers, and Phillies who got to finals/world series but didn't win it. We want to be world champions and this is our year. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

17-14 Eagles OT (Akers 50+ field goal)

First, I am an Eagles fan from birth (1970).

I am not foolish with my money so I wouldn't bet on them to win. And of course I would never bet on them to lose.

Since we have two weeks to disect this game let's go for it.

Any one hear updates on Akers and his possible broken nose?

Actually...I'll exercise my option NOT to believe you on that one. They're just happy to be there. You will see next Sunday, when all of a sudden they look worse than they've looked all season, and you can't understand why.

This thread can't die this soon. 12 more days!

Who is the fastest guy on the Eagles and the Patriots?

Coach B gets 2 weeks to prepare for one of the most explosive offenses in league history and the Pats hold them to 3 points. The next week the Pats go on the road against the #1 scoring defense in the NFL and hang 41 points on them. I don't see how the Eagles will find a way to win. Did you see how poorly Atlanta tackled in the NFC title game? I doubt the Patriots do that.

Go Pats! I don't like them but God help us if Philly wins. Can you imagine the havoc those Africans would create in the streets? How big would that riot be with the car burnings and looting?

Don't discount the eagle's coaching staff, Reid, Johnson, and the rest of them are miles ahead of tony dungy and bill cowher in terms of game planning and prep. I've already bought plane tickets to watch the game with my family back in philly, and plan to be rioting on broad street when the game is over. On the other hand, the Pats are kind of terrifying. If the eagle's D can shut them down in the first half then it'll be a game, if the pats go quick strike and uup 14 in the first quarter we're in trouble.

Eagles 17 Pats 14

did you see how poorly roethlisberger played and how many interceptions he threw? i doubt donovan mcnabb will do that. the steelers played like shit, the eagles won't.

That's the thing about the Patriots. It always seems like their opponents play their worst possible game against them. So, people always say "Well, Manning played like crap...if he had played well, the Colts would have won." Or.."Roethlisberger threw 3 pics...no wonder the Steelers lost".

The thing is - the Patriots force their opponents into bad games. In other words, they don't win with flash, they win by making good players look terrible.

If Peyton Manning can't figure out the Pats schemes, I highly doubt that Donovan McNabb will.

At the end of the game, you won't beleive that the Eagles played so poorly - wondering why they couldn't bring their A-game to the Super Bowl - and will say "if only McNabb hadn't thrown those 3 INTs, we wouldn't have lost by 3 touchdowns." The Patriots dominance is deceptive.

Kohlberg is completely right. The Patriots make teams look bad.

I am just hoping that some big plays, luck and destiny land on the Eagles side.
