LAST CALL! Pats – Iggles #SB52 Open Thread

Well well… WELL. This being a Sunday afternoon, Hate Week is no more.

Via reactiongifs.us

And yet, the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, again. No. 1 seed in the AFC against the Iggles, No. 1 seed in the NFC. Philadelphia is riding a weekend high, after the Hall of Fame selection of Brian Dawkins. And Terrell Owens; say what you will about T.O. (there’s plenty). The guy balled.

John Clayton, 2/6/05 via espn.com

That was back in Super Bowl XXwhatever. This time around, Philadelphia has a damn fine roster, notably better than New England’s—in most positions. The one really at stake, well…

Tron Brady: what has NOT being said about him? I heard talk about his career thoroughly eclipsing those of all-time NFL greats, to the point that Brady’s true peers are in other sports—like Gordie Howe, Michael Jordan, or Barry Bonds.

The coaching: what has not being said about Bill Belichick. His assistants have been living the life, getting the Pats to the Super Bowl while being the presumptive new head coaches of the Clots (Josh McDaniels) and Loins (Matt Patricia). Losing to this Eagles team will not hurt their bona fides.

On the Philly sideline, QB coach John DeFilippo has gotten interest from several teams. Super Bowl host Minnesota needs a new offensive coordinator, so DeFlip can’t ask for a better Pro Day. The way Foles stepped aside around the pocket against the Vikings D in the last game bodes well for the coach and QB.

The focus on the Eagles has been on making a game plan that Nick Foles would execute without difficulty, putting success in the hands of Agholor, Ajayi, Blount, Ertz, and Jeffrey. They good. Shit, even Torrey Smith can still force a defense to account for him. So Foles has options, but the question remains: what will he do when confronted with the chance to audible?

Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, this guy,

has also been updating his résumé. He’s got a dynamite roster too, including Chris Long—who won the Super Bowl last year with New England. With LeGarrette Blount providing the debriefing for the Pats offense, I’d say the Iggles got prettay, prettay good mojo going into the game. A shame it’s played in the Birdmurderdome.

So the NFC aviary has been owned in Super Bowls of late, with the Pats doing most of the damage. Big deal. I think the Eagles break the hex, 27-24, and the promise of a New Era will carry us through the goddamn offseason.

Then again, this is New England. Any HATAHs might wanna try something stronger than alcohol.

Last day of the season! Let it out.

Dinosaurs never existed. The Devil planted the fossils to test man.

Viva La Tabula Raza

I thought my paleontology exams were pretty difficult, and sometimes thought the professor was the Devil. So I guess you are right.

Romonobyl

Jurassic Park 5: Still Printing Money.

...

*snorts line of cocaine*

Why it on Mark Sanchez.

I see Bill is digging deep into his playbook.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Nice.

Iwo Jima vet was saving up all his saliva to spit in Brady’s face.

I nominate ‘Freebird’ as the song to play when the eagles score. I nominate ‘Mr. Crowley’ as the song to play when the pats score.

yeah right

Did Michelle say “Let’s go eat dick?”

Doktor Zymm

Alexa responded ‘I’m not sure how to help you with that’ so probably

Brocky

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again…

Patriots don’t deserve to take the field to crazy train

Spur

Die Eagles Die

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Fine, but they need to beat the fucking P*ts first.

^Unless you are speaking German for some reason.

Spur

These old men fought Fascism 70 years ago to watch their children embrace it.

...

Also great seeing those same children revere WWII vets anyway.

makeitsnowondem

Well, I think it’s a question of which WWII vets they revere.

Brocky

Don’t forget their grandchildren.

Mr. Ayo

Game over. Pats defer, score back to back around halftime.

LemonJello

That’s a big collection of badasses! And then there’s the Iggles and P*triots on the field, too.

Brick Meathook

Iwo Jima guy gets to kill a loser for old times sake. You know he wants to.

...

I approve of the jersey choices for this game. That’s the one nice thing I’ll say about this game.

Beerguyrob

Could one of those vets offer Gene Steratore his glasses to use during the game?

makeitsnowondem

None of them have a strong enough prescription.

Romonobyl

There is no way I can sit through an entire Owl game with Collinsworth slobbering over Brady at every opportunity.

King Hippo

green shirt ON, I am with the battery tossers in spirit, if not in teevee box

...
The Maestro

Beer is cracked, Brady jersey is on, poutine latke waffles and taco pizza are prepped and ready to go for the end of the first quarter. LET’S FUCKIN’ DO THIS.

WhyEaglesWhy

Best of luck, sort of!

It’s 10am here, so I am bowing to decorum by starting my drinking with a coffee stout.

yeah right

Greetings good sir. How’s the outback treating you?

WhyEaglesWhy

Quite well thanks, except it’s topping 100 degrees today and my AC is broken. Sorry about your Vikes, man. That’s a hard pill.

makeitsnowondem

This gets the Beer Barrel Wax Seal of Approval.

Fuck that dumb shit.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Last minute key decision: I am wearing a George Halas jersey in recognition of my true loyalties and the fact that I will root for this year’s Halas Trophy winner.

Beerguyrob

Be careful – if Virginia McCaskey finds out you might end up the Bears GM.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Sounds like a big win-win

Brocky

I’ve got bears butthead kicking the beavis packers “take that shirt ofd dumbass” one

Senor Weaselo

I’m wearing my HRTN shirt!

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I’m watching the end of Street Law on B-Movie TV.

Priorities, people!

Romonobyl

A-10 Warthogs Motherfuckers!!!!!!!!

Senor Weaselo

My favorite anecdote about the Warthog:

The GAU-8 Avenger fires up to sixty one-pound bullets a second. It produces almost five tons of recoil force, which is crazy considering that it’s mounted in a type of plane (the A-10 “Warthog”) whose two engines produce only four tons of thrust each. If you put two of them in one aircraft, and fired both guns forward while opening up the throttle, the guns would win and you’d accelerate backward.

Where’s the BBBRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT ?

...

Fuck this. Everyone knows the REAL anthem of the United States of America is Hail, Columbia.

WhyEaglesWhy

I thought it was All My Rowdy Friends.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

I thought it was the Animal House theme song.

Beerguyrob

I thought it was “Freebird”.

WhyEaglesWhy

Lots of people just lost money on Pink’s hair not being green.

makeitsnowondem

is anyone kneeling

Romonobyl

I am, but only because I dropped a contact.

Romonobyl

I’ll give Pink credit, she does have a voice.

Senor Weaselo

I look forward to the tweets about the people holding the flag kneeling.

herodotus450

Pretty sad that the “Kiss on the lips with a sponsor” prop bet went away with Peyton’s retirement…

The Maestro

America The Beautiful is an unquestionably better song than the Star-Spangled Banner.

Doktor Zymm

It also doesn’t help that people feel the need to get ‘creative’ the with anthem

makeitsnowondem

“This Land is Your Land” should be our national anthem, it’s easy as hell to sing and not racist at all.

Doktor Zymm

Nice of her to take her gum out of her mouth before singing

Brick Meathook

FIVE SERVICES??? Sorry, the Air Force doesn’t count, pal

herodotus450

Army, Navy, Marines, Bear Patrol, Coast Guard?

WhyEaglesWhy

Also Hell’s Angels. Oh wait, that’s only for Stones concerts.

Brick Meathook

WEBELOS

Senor Weaselo

Anthem in 4/4, come on people, get your shit together!

Senor Weaselo

That seemed like a pretty meh arrangement.

WhyEaglesWhy

How the fuck you doing boys? Go Eagles and fuck TO 🙂

Beerguyrob

Y’ellow!

rockingdog

whats good!!!!!!

Gratliff

No need to play the anthem now

Romonobyl

Well, musically it’s a better song than the Anthem at least.

...

Our anthem is a drinking song so CHUG CHUG CHUG

Spur

i think i have enough Heineken to last this shit show, good or bad.

Gratliff

Aaron Burr getting himself some Super Bowl TV time

Senor Weaselo

Well he couldn’t get the Presidency.

Petronel

Nice to see Erkel in the choir there

Claymaker

I wish this game were outside in the 3-degree air. I would love another round of IDEAL GAS LAW TAKES

JustStopDude

Fuck this weekend has been a brutal mess. I could really use a nice distraction from the chaos…so naturally this game is going to be shit, the half time show will be shit, and the fucking commercials will be shit.

Beerguyrob

Didn’t you read – don said Hate Week was over.

...

GET YOUR JINGOISM ON, MOTHERFUCKERS

Spur

Eli wants to go build a snowman but man is going to make a big red coat so he’s staying inside.

Beerguyrob

We all agree this is the closest Watt is getting to a Super Bowl until he joins the Patriots, right?

Spur

please no.

...

Well, thanks. Now this is happening. Hope you’re happy.

Doktor Zymm

Is it wrong to use pieces of cheese and sausage to dip in my spinach dip instead of crackers or chips? It’s low carb!
