thunderingsquid Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Even if the refs get shipped in from the CFL they have a sowballs chance. The fix isn't just in , it never left. 2

It's all about their front 4 getting the pressure and them using a double team on Gronk. Thats all jacksonville had to do, lol. Eagles are gonna get flatlined in the one 1

In addition the CFL refs haven't been bought off by Kraft. The Eagles would have a great chance if by some chance occurrence, every single NFL ref came down with food poisoning right before the SB and they brought in some untainted officials!! 1

Big C Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Bigger concern is that the Pats will get Gronk back. The Jags knocked him out of the game with the lead and it didn't matter.
dave mcbride Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Brady has been in seven super bowls. Everyone has been a nail biter, more or less. I'm playing the (overwhelming) percentages at this point and assuming that this will be a close game too. Edited January 22, 2018 by dave mcbride

Pressure with four and plaster their receiving corps. . 1
H2o Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 If they can get pressure on Brady they have a shot. It has to be consistent though. Their Secondary is good enough to put up a fight. God knows I hope they win. I hate the Pats.

Happy Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I think the Eagles can win. Foles will need to have a similar game to what he had today, and the defense front four will need to pressure Brady. I'm optimistic that both can happen. Also, don't play zone defense. I don't know what Jax was thinking when they went into zone coverage when NE was driving to the end zone.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 Someone should have leaarned from Jalen Ramsey.
Success Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 They’re better in the trenches. They can win.

sullim4 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I went to the Bills game in San Diego. They got trounced. That demoralized me enough to book a trip to the Big Island over Super Bowl Sunday. Then the Bills made the playoffs. And I panicked a little bit that there was an infinitesimal chance that they might actually beat the Pats and make it. Nope, this script has already been written. NE* wins, if anything was proven this season, it's that the refs will ensure they win. And I'll be on a beach on an island in the middle of the Pacific, not bothering to watch a minute of it.

The Frankish Reich Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Absolutely they can win. fivethirtyeight's algorithm has it NE 58% chance of winning. That translates into about a 2.5 point favorite. Of course, that's based in part on the strength of performance over the season, and doesn't factor in the change from Wentz to Foles (well, it does to the extent that Foles has performed well in the last few games). But I'm in the camp that doesn't believe there's a big dropoff for Wentz to Foles. And the Eagles should be able to get some pressure on Brady, so I'm expecting a competitive game. I still doubt I'll watch it; Super Bowl Sunday is a great day to go skiing here in Colorado, and I don't know if I can stomach another Pats SB celebration ...
