    Heard someone bring up a good point, Eagles are better at basically every position except QB and TE...but of course QB is a pretty huge difference. Pats got the coaching and experience edge though of course.

    Yea as a sports fan, I feel like winning would never get old, but that first win would just mean everything.

    I think the biggest mismatch you guys have is obviously Gronk, but I think Jenkins is capable of matching up with him. Maybe throw some Mychal Kendricks at him every once in a while to throw him off. Like you, I also think the RBs are gonna have a big day, but I'd be ok with that. We just can't give up the big play.

    I'm not sure how our offense is gonna be run because Pederson likes to switch it up. I expect some RPOs because they have worked really well for Foles. A steady dose of Ajayi and Blount is to be expected. I think the key to the game though will be Corey Clement. For some reason I just see him making a big play(s).

    Special teams is also a thing to keep an eye out on. All it takes is one big return and that could flip the game.

    Officially 24 hours out. I can't wait

    This isn't to you, but I really hate those types of arguments, because it has nothing to do with anything lol. I agree though, Eagles have more talent, but I don't think that matters.

    For instance, if Eagles can't cover our backs, their pass rush won't matter vs our offensive line, because Brady uses the backs almost like they're Julian Edelman. If he's getting it out within 2 seconds, it's not gonna matter. As a pass rusher, it's demoralizing.

    Or, if the Pats secondary causes Foles to hold on to the ball, then it won't matter how good their offensive line is vs our defensive line, because they will have coverage sacks/pressure.

    if you can, should go. visiting the hall is very affordable and something a football fan shouldn’t miss out on.

    I'll say this though... Not into weird stats like this, but I'm PRETTY sure an NFL MVP hasn't won a Super Bowl since like 1999.

    I hate how they do that type of thing like only a certain amount of x position can make it a year. If they deserve it just put them in.
    definitely something I'll look into. Dawk is one of my favorite players of all time

    Dawkins deserves it more, although Law should be in the Hall of Fame.

    The only Patriot that SHOULD be more decorated is Richard Seymour. He's in my top 10 NFL players of all time. He'll never get the credit he deserves though. Such a shame.

    On our regional sports channel here the question was posed "who is the best player in the patriots run, outside of Brady," and the analyst said Seymour. He even went on to be solid with Oakland too

    He changed our defense. Best two gap defensive lineman in NFL history. I don't care what anyone says. He made Bruschi and our linebackers WAY better than what they were.

    He was a great player. And he doesn’t get enough credit because he was a 3-4 end

    But calling him a top 10 player of all time is definitely an unpopular opinion. I don’t even think your fellow ppl in Bawston would rank him that high

    What're your guys' plans for today/tonight? I'm bout to go try and run off all the beer calories I'm drinking tonight and then watch hoops most of the day before it starts. Having a get together at my crib for it later and eating a f--- ton of food as well. Super Bowl Sunday is the best man.

    About to go play a game of football with all my friends. Then play the game on madden. My friends and I were thinking about watching downtown but came to the conclusion that in ten years we'd hate ourselves for not watching with our dad's lol, so I'm headed home to watch it
