Team hub Philadelphia Eagles

FanCom Home Of The 3X NFL Champions In 1948, 1949, 1960

Rogue ... are you biased? Probably, but that is what being a fan is all about. I respect that. I love die hards. You are a fan of your Eagles. They were the No. 1 seed in the NFL and deservedly so. When you lose an MVP-caliber QB and still keep the wheels churning, you know you have a great team.

I would dispute a couple of point. Yes, the Eagles have overcome a ton adversity but so too have these New England Patriots. Our IR-list looks like a who's who of Patriots stars. Look at last year's Super Bowl. Who made the two biggest plays of the game? Dont'a Hightower and Julian Edelman were missing in action all season. I am not arguing who has overcome more, because both teams have overcome adversity that would cripple others.

The other point I dispute is the Patriots were exposed. The Patriots gave up 6 points in the second half. This was the same Jags team that did whatever they wanted against the Steelers. This "bad" Patriots defense gave up 18.5 ppg in the regular season. The Eagles defense gave up 18.4 ppg. 

Listen, I honestly have no idea who is going to win. I respect the Eagles and think they will give the Patriots everything they have. I just wouldn't underestimate the Patriots experience factor. They've shown recently when they are down in the big games they have a knack for coming back.

As I said to start, I LOVE your passion. I would feel the same way if I watched my team beat the defending NFC Champions and the NFL's top ranked defense. I just think you may be brushing the Patriots off and I wouldn't do that.

Enjoy the build up! I will be the first to congratulate you btw.
