Vegas prop bettors on 2.5 for over/under on number of passers were already happy anyway.
Not to mention the two "catches" for TDs, the blatant pass interference (2x) on the final play, etc., etc. It will probably come out over the next month why NFL wanted Eagles to win. My guess is Goodell is going anti-Trump with his kneelers.
As Tom Brady dropped back for a last-ditch hail mary, NE WR Chris Hogan was leveled by an Eagles defender in what should have been a clear illegal contact downfield call, leaving only TE Rob Gronkowski as the only primary receiver left to catch the pass.

Brady is a goat....
Bye Tommie
Lotsa people think Brady is the best to ever play....Amazing stats last night...But Philly deserved it....
The goat is the fat phuck lineman who didn't block his Man and allowed the ball to be stripped from Brady...
The officials called only one penalty for five yards against the Patriots the whole game.
That was an obvious false start - not a subjective penalty. And they got a first down after that and scored on that drive anyway.
They called 6 penalties against the Eagles for a total of 35 yards.
The Eagles stopped the Patriots on 3rd and 6 that would have forced the Patriots to punt from there 14.
But they called defensive holding on a slight grab (that happens almost every play ) by the Eagles DB inside of 5 yards.
That gave the Patriots an automatic fist down and they scored a touchdown on that drive.
They called a block in the back on one of the Eagles kick off returns. That happens every kick and is subjective.
The Eagles did score on that drive anyway.
Another Patriots scoring drive included another defensive holding call on the Eagles. This time on a linebacker.
The other three Eagles penalties were two false starts and a too many men on the field call.
The Patriots were not called for a single offensive holding, defensive holding, offensive pass interference (looking at you, Gronk), defense interference or block in the back the whole game.
In other words, no subjective calls were made against the Patriots.
The Eagles overcame a 6-1 penalty disadvantage (including 3-0 subjective penalties) in that game.
Eagles fan stoops to new low, even for Philly

One Philadelphia Eagles fan’s celebration of the team’s first Super Bowl victory turned downright nasty — as he ate from a pile of horse dung in the street as revelers cheered him on, new video shows.
505 passing yards, 3 TDs, no interceptions. Yeah Brady played awful

Lot's of worthless yards.
Also, dropped an easy pass and fumbled late to end the drive....

Brady's play was insane.
But those receivers were wide open all game. He didn't really have to thread the needle. I don't know what was up with the Eagles coverage.
Foles was fitting the ball into pretty tight windows most of the game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqGTjWcla3UIf you are going to nit pick about the formation on the Foles catch than do a screen shot of every single play.
The end receivers are often not exactly on the line.
They look at the ball and at the sideline official to check if they are OK.
The official nods to the receiver and the formation is deemed good enough.
They had two offensive lineman to the right of the center and then a receiver split wide who was the end receiver.
There was no tight end on that side, so intent to deceive the defense as to who was eligible.
It's a petty rule anyway.
You have 5 interior linemen who are not eligible and 6 offensive players who are eligible, including the QB or whoever takes the snap.
A couple years back, the Patriots absolutely tried to deceive the Ravens with a strange formation in the playoffs.
They took out their left tackle and replaced him with a running back (with an eligible receiver number) and split him a bit wide form the line and then put a wide receiver outside of that running back.
The running back was not eligible but the Ravens covered him anyway, meaning they thought they had to cover an extra receiver above the legal amount.

The Russians fixed the game
The Russians ordered Belichik to bench their best CB, Malcolm Butler last night, haha. Seriously, that was a major blunder by a so-called coaching genius. Butler was benched because he got exiled to Belichik's doghouse, not because of a lack of talent. Belichik isn't talking and the truth will eventually come out.
Waaaaaaa. Waaaaaaaaaa.
Best part is they took the idea that Brady botched and executed perfectly. LOL watching Ole Man Brady try to catch up to a floater was..... a happy moment.

Let's not forget, none of the players are from the Philly area. In order for Philly to feel like a winner, they need guys from the rest of the country to get them there.
Yes, because track/xc teams like Oregon, NAU, Stanford, etc definitely thrive off of in state talent, even when there's a big difference between in state and out state tuition in a lot of cases
Throw millions of dollars at these NFL guys and you think they're worried about representing their home state?

So, who gives a crap about college track teams. How much does it cost to run a commercial when they televise a college track meet?
And WTF does that have to do with the Philly fans?

Hey retard, Corey Clement is from Glassboro, NJ (which is near Philly). Try again.
That comment was aimed at cheese steak.
