EAGLES....to win.
- Thread starter Stalker
- Start date
I think if Hurts plays like he has been playing in the postseason, that balances out the perceived invincibility of Mahomes. Obviously neither side can afford turnovers and penalties especially in their own territory. But if all that evens out, I'm on the Eagles winning comfortably.
Hopefully it's an entertaining game although I'm still grieving the Ravens losing after thinking this was their year.
he has a long way to go to catch Brady, on top of that Brady will always have the AFC title game and Super Bowl win against them
i would say Mahomes needs at least 8 Super Bowls and he has to get one of them with another team too to have any argument over Brady
I think KC will win, they just always seem to find a way
hoping for Philly even though I hate them

Eagles win tomorrow would give Whitehall a third alum with a Super Bowl ring, and a seventh ring for a Zephyr alum, with Saquon Barkley joining linebacker Matt Millen (two with the Raiders, one with the 49ers, one with the Redskins) and center Dan Koppen (one with the Patriots and one with the Broncos) as Super Bowl champions. Not bad.
True, although I predict he’s probably going to make multiple more Super Bowl trips. The AFC seems incapable of beating them and he’s only 29
If Mahomes is going to make multiple more super bowl appearances he better get a better team around him as that's the worst SB team I've seen. Gutty, Gritty and well coached but that group is wearing out or worn out. You saw it often thru the season. But to their credit, Reed's coaching, the D and Mahomes, they pulled those games out. I don't think they get past Buffalo or Baltimore next year.
Plenty of teams that could push the Chiefs out of the Super Bowl next year, but they have to figure out a way to finish the game against Mahomes in the playoffs. Bills, Ravens, Bengals, Broncos, or Texans are the easy ones to spot, but maybe some other AFC team figures it out first.
he has 2 mvp's, Brady and Favre have 3, Rodgers has 4 and Manning has 5
mvp's should matter but most people seem to only care about super bowls
Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette had Roethlisberger as a top 10 quarterback of all time, which is beyond insane and stupid, he never got a single mvp vote
Regular season success needs to carry less weight than postseason success, especially in the free agency era. Winners win more than they lose in the postseason.
That was one of the more thorough beat downs you'll likely see in a SB. Wow. But, they were overrated and I imagine Vegas may have been 'sided' on this one. I had them by three TDs (21, not 18) and just missed a big pool. Still fun.
The NFC looks very exciting next year with Phl, DC, Was, Det, Min, GB and especially LA fielding exciting teams. That is if they can hold them together.
And I don't know what to think of the Ravens with great teams the last two years shooting themselves in the foot, again. Their window is closing and may be closed.
shfoot, were you in Philly today? We couldn't get past Penrose/Pattison (20th?) per HUGE crowds and went a little too late. Crowds estimated at 700K to a Mil !
I've got ties in LA and they predicted Eagles by 2 TD's. They weren't too far off.
We went to our favorite watering hole yesterday to watch. Our daughter took her two oldest.
I don't like the Eagles, but i have all the respect in the world for the organization
they fired their super bowl winning coach 2 years after he won the game, they even threatened to fire Sirianni
they are the opposite of the Steelers, they demand excellence and don't care what you did for them yesterday
pro sports are supposed to be cutthroat, not loyal to a fault
I would've fired Tomlin after the 2013 season when they had two straight 8-8 seasons, a playoff embarrassment to Tim Tebow and Tomlin trying to trip Jacoby Jones... let alone after the complete irrelevancy they have been under Tomlin since that decade+ ago

It's asshame they can't fire Jerry Jones, but then again, keep it up Jerry, all the money you make can't get you a championship.
debate I had at my local gym today, who’s on your Mt Rushmore of Pittsburgh sports players?
Guys from the Pittsburgh area or guys who played for Pittsburgh-based teams (the pro teams and Pitt football)?
Steelers' records since Tomlin wandered on the field to impede Jones in 2013.

Not too bad - karma didn't really get him with win-loss, but it damaged his character which I thought was pretty solid until that game. We all have flaws, maybe he made up for the karma hit in other ways.
Aside from that, I'm not sure consistency at the HC/OC/DC spots is required for success in the NFL in these days. The Birds have been somewhat of a revolving door and have been to 3 Super Bowls in the last 8 years. Crazy.

I had Lemieux and Crosby aswell, but then I added Clemente and mean Joe Greene
From the hip....wouldn't any All-Everything list have to include Roberto Clemente and The Rooney Family for starters?
The logic behind my 4 is that they were all at one time the greatest player in their leagues regardless of position.
Mario, Sid, and Jagr are arguably top 10 of all time in NHL history.
Jagr doesn't get enough credit imo because he didn't get it done after Mario got sick but he was the flagship player of NHL for quite sometime.
Maybe Arnold Palmer gets on that Mountain too..
My all-time Pittsburgh Mt Rushmore in terms of city importance would go like this
Joe Greene
Roberto Clemente
Mario Lemieux
Sidney Crosby
I would probably add a #5 to that list and it would be Big Ben...
Right, how did we get here. So........I have the Eagles continuing their recent domination of the NFC (L?) so long as they keep that line together.
Det is a monster in waiting
LA is scary looking for next year
Wash....ditto LA
GB is a BIG over rate, Qb needs A LOT of work
Minn, TB, Sea....trouble but a little short minus big move in the off season
Full confession; I watch/follow the pros but don't know them like I use to know college ball before NLI.
