Blahstoise Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 We are likely going to lose, we are Philadelphia for crying out loud. I accept it, and if we win then I'll go absolutely mental. But I expect the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to respond to your previous post a lot more aggressively but decided against it. You don't have to think it will be easy, but to be all doom and gloom is disrespectful to this team who's worked so hard to get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defeatism or Realism, we are starting Nick Foles out there and he's such a hot and cold QB against a coaching mastermind who almost always comes through. I'm not disrespecting the team.

WeaponX Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 That Vikings game showed me that this Eagles team can really play with any team in the NFL. And that Vikings defense was the best statistical defense in the league this year. They were so good that they were the best statistical defense on 3rd down in NFL history (since that started to get tracked). So if Nick Foles can play extremely well against that defense, he can do it against anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They honestly need to approach this game the same way they approached the Vikings. This Patriots aura is a silly storyline to me. This is a completely different Patriots team and Brady is 40 years old. We need to get after him. He looked uncomfortable against the Jags early on and then their lack of depth on the D line started to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaponX Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Apparently there are mostly Eagles fans in Minneapolis right now. Eagles reporters saying mostly Eagles fans flew in today and that it's mostly Eagles fans at the Mall of America (that's where most of the pre-Super Bowl events have been happening?)

WeaponX Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Quote For the season, the Patriots rank 31st in defensive DVOA, and that could ultimately be their undoing this week. Our study of Super Bowl winners has shown that no team since at least 1986 has won a Super Bowl with a defense ranked lower than 25th in this metric. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/sneaky-stats-that-could-decide-the-super-bowl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phire Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 If we lose this game, I'd be disappointed, but I wouldn't be mad. I guess it also depends on how we lose. But we're a team with a backup QB up against the Patriots. I don't really see myself that upset if we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because almost as much as I want this win, I want Carson to win one for us. I would be happier than any other moment in my life to date outside of marriage and my son’s birth. The next 50 years would give me a warm, fulfilled feeling deep down in my soul. Would love for Carson to recreate that joy, if given the opportunity. But we need that win this Sunday.
