Fly EAGLES Fly

Props to Brady and the Patriots for one helluva good game.

Whoop!
Not much of a follower any more but always have been an Eagles fan - Fly Eagles, fly!

Not a fan of either team but enjoyed the game... lots of offense. I was happy the Eagles won.
When not a fan it's my nature to root for the underdog. Glad to see Nick get the MVP. Definitely a twist of fate. He seems a great guy and I was rooting for him.

I'm bummed out that the Patriots didn't win but it was a really exciting game for a change.

Hey what match is that the Patriots and the Eagles?

Sounds cool!

Are the Eagles considered the underdogs?

 

[Unforgiven]

It was a hell of a game and congrats to Philly if it hasn't been completely burned to the ground by now. Rooting interests aside, it was a great game to watch. Now I'm going to google "open field tackle" and send video links to the Patriots.

All the pre game hype was about the defense on both sides. It looked like neither sides defense showed up last night. Except for two plays. Only one punt the entire game?

They had never won a Super Bowl before and they struggled this season and kind of “back doored” their way to the Super Bowl.

Only in the minds of the media.

While the pundits and sages always put them as the underdog -- even though they dominated the NFL this year -- if you actually watched the games they were confident, skilled and motivated. There really weren't a lot of lucky wins. A lot of close, high scoring games. Only three losses all year and the last game against Dallas was a throw-away.

Statistically they had top numbers across the board. The thing is that they lost a lot of players due to injury. Sproles, Peters, Wentz , etc. but each time they had a back up and the rest of the team backed-up the back ups. It was a team effort and team win. Let's hope it can stay that way.

and their rabid fans

Geez, throw snowballs at Santa Clause ONE TIME! ....

I think they would have won with Wentz, too, but there probably wouldn't have been so much underdog talk. I'm glad Foles was able to get his ring in Philly. He deserved it not only for his performance but because of the way Chip Kelly jerked him around..

Oh my WORD!

Whooaaa! xD

Heeeectic!

Reminds me of Schnoogy!

She loved eating her own poo!

I didn't say "all of the Eagles fans are rabid."

You've obviously never been to Philadelphia!

My first experience with Philly Phanticism was the Flyers Stanley Cup parades in the '70s. They won a hat trick of championships in '74, '75 and '76. That was some riotous and raucous revelry. In the '80s the flyers did a threepeat but not consecutively. Plus there was a Phillies World Series Win in 1980 and a Sixers Championship in '83.

We'd have to wait 25 years for our next championship in 2008 (Phillies again) and then there's now.

Philly isn't a sports dynasty like NY or the Patriots, but when we do win one, we savor it.

This is the Ritz Carlton and what used to be it's entrance.

Foxboro/Boston has been spoiled lately. But then there's the former West End area and
"whoever's sponsoring it now" Boston Garden plus Fenway Park and even the least sports adept Boston resident knows being gracious is a good thing when you lose.

I wonder if that "Revolution" thing will dominate?

Boston Garden plus Fenway Park and even the least sports adept Boston resident knows being gracious is a good thing when you lose.

And then there is UMass having a self pity riot.

I specifically didn't mention colleges.
I do not want to be seen as a braggart.
Oliver Wendell Holmes did call it "The Hub" first.
