Congrats Aaron.

At very least the Eagles hit with the points:

Holy shit I could not be more excited for this game. It's great it's the last game of the weekend cause I got to enjoy all the other games. The Birds are an 8 point dog??? That's nuts. I took that bet all day. While I certainly think and hope and pray they will win, even if they don't I don't think this will be a 9 point differential.

I believe in Big Dick Nick!

I'm now rooting for a Saints/Chiefs Super Bowl and I'd like to see Andy finally get one.
 
Thanks Koop. Your team made us work hard to get that one.
Hope the Saints can beat the Rams. That one won't be easy either.
 
I think the game turned on the fake punt. I heard the announcers talking about how the Eagles should have taken the penalty. But they were correct in not taking it. They should have called timeout when they saw the Hill guy in the formation. By not doing that they let the fake succeed and that led to the first NO TD and changed the course of the game.
 
It was a successful season. Rough up until the last six weeks, but making the playoffs and getting a playoff win is a solid year.

How did your Browns or Bengals or whatever team you root for do this season?

Really, what team do you root for?

Anybody playing the Eagles????
 
You don't know it beacause I don't want you too.


Seriously, I don't have one, or really even follow football. That's why I don't post much in the football threads.
 
There will never be another Super Bowl where I don't think of LII.

This deserves to be posted here. I kinda poured my heart out in this post:

I have been an Eagles fan since I was like 11 or 12. I had to find them on my own since neither of my parents were/are sports fans so it's been 23 years of die hard Eagles fandom. Besides family, the Eagles have been the one constant, unending love in my life. Watching and loving the Eagles has been with me through everything. When I first moved to Florida from Philly it was under trying circumstances and having the Eagles make the Super Bowl that year was amazing. It was a painful loss in 2005 but an otherwise magical season that really helped with the rough transition.

Even the shitty years are still fun. There is always hope. Hope for a wild card berth, hope for that one player to develop into a star, hope for that better draft pick. Like Emily Dickinson said, "Hope is the thing with feathers". In my case those feathers are attached to an entire Eagles team.

This year was different. I was in jail for Super Bowl LI. The off season was rough and while the hope was there, I didn't imagine it would come to this. Then the season started. I missed week one and had to watch a torrent of the game due to losing TV and internet during the hurricane. By the end of week 3, at 2-1, it was already pretty clear we had something special going. Seeing this team become more and more special and formidable from week to week was a great way to distract me from all the bullshit community service and classes I was doing all year. FF to the end of the season and Wentz goes down. We had one of the best backups in the league but I still thought we would be 1 and done in the playoffs. Then we beat the Falcons and like in week 3, it was again pretty clear we had something special going with Foles. Football is by far my favorite sport and for the Philly team to finally win a championship is a magical feeling!

I know it's just a silly game with players I will never meet and it has no tangible affect on my life besides all the weight I arbitrarily give it in my head. But this is such a great way to start 2018. All the bullshit legal stuff from last year is now behind me and I start fresh with my Eagles as world champions. I couldn't be happier.

Fly Eagles Fly.

The Pats are very clearly a force the likes of which American professional sports have never seen.

But my Eagles were the immovable object that stopped that unstoppable force last year.

Forever the 2017-2018 Eagles will be known as one of the few teams that was able to look a sports dynasty in the eye and tell it to go fuck itself.

Fly Eagles Fly. On the Road to History.

The Giants did it twice, and frankly, several other Pats' SB wins (such as Seattle) could've gone either way. I understand it's a big thing for you, but it's already fading into history.
 
Thank God Carson didn't play. This is a nightmare scenario. Our 3rd and 4th string look like total trash. Time to go sign a new backup.

Sudfeld was having a pretty good half too. It was nice to see him finally coming into his own.
