Also the failed reverse on the kickoff to the pats really helped the eagles. I think if the pats had held onto to Chandler Jones a long time ago it could of been a different story, there pas rush was poor. the eagles pass rush was better than their stats showed a lesser QB would of been sacked more. Yeah special teams is important. Punting just wasn't a thing in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a QB threw one deep INT per game it wouldn't be awful. Yeah, you would prefer that "punt" not happen on 1st down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither QB has anything to feel bad about. If anything Brady’s defense should be committing seppuku in front of him right now. And Foles defense should be offering to spot him for every meal in the off season for bailing them out. I honestly thought Brady was gonna march down the field and score on us really easy before that fumble. I was thinking how upset I was gonna be that we put up 32 pts at that point and probably lose. So glad, it didn't turn out that way. But, I can understand what you're feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I haven't seen every Pats game and I'm not specialist on the state of their team, but I've seen their FG kicker miss some kicks in the regular season that he should have made and obviously he missed some kicks tonight as well (granted the botch snap is not his fault). Is this a situation where the Patriots might be looking to upgrade or will they stay with what they have? That FG he missed tonight was so huge and he missed it so badly. If I recall, it wasn't that far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonu62882 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 On a side note, it's crazy to think Big Balls Doug was just a HS Coach 9/10 yrs ago, and now he just won a SB in his 2nd year with a back-up QB against the GOAT of coaches. He just out-Belichecked Belicheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to be one of the best kickers in the league and now he's really not all that great. He's been like that for a while now.

showtime Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 According to Malcolm Butler, he has no idea why he was benched. Nobody on the team knew Butler wasn't going to play until right before the game... Eric Rowe didn't even know. Dude, what the hell is going on?
