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

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.

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.
Maybe that’s going to be the crazy catch to which I referred earlier.
.
That play was so awful I had to approve my own comment about it.
Double disappointment, that interception then Keanu not dying on that motorcycle
Touchdown, end of half, touchdown. Calling it now.
I called that right after the coin toss. Too obvious.
loves greased poles
Ooops
fucckkkk
BOUNCERCEPTION
Oh you lucky mother fuckers
Hail Satan
Well fucking hell.
Aj… Aja… A just gonna run past you, I guess.
Great job Foles
Well fuck.
WOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT A PICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky fucking break. There it is.
You know, I would really enjoy it if Ertz changed his name to Hertz, cause he makes plays with high frequency. The best shit talk is physics shit talk.

I’m very jealous of dat ass.
I was waiting for the rental car joke.
My dream in life is to get this guy’s jersey but replace the number with Fmax/2

Ajayi has an overwhelming abundance of diggity so far.
Faith in Satan: Restored.
Well, of course.
OH FUCK ME
Godfuckingdammit
Ajayi proof dolphins will do anything to see the patriots lose
This Pats defense is not good.*
* Does not apply to 4th quarter
They should fire every non-player in Miami
They already fired the cokehead tho.
Which defenses don’t have ‘setting the edge’ as a fundamental component?
/Remembers watching Packers for last 6 years
Oh.
Belicheck is a headband short of trying out for a background role in an 80s jazzercise movie.
I had no idea Ferris Bueller’s dad became an NFL referee.
“What would the quarterbacks look like if they tripped and fell down into the Uncanny Valley?”
Love too score two touchdowns and a field goal and have fifteen points.
That was either a post-modern commercial, or the NFL just missed out on about a million of ad revenue
or we all got brainwashed.
I thought it was a bold move to replay the ending of ‘The Sopranos’ right there.
Someone tweeted the 28-3 scorebox into my timeline and I’m enraged.
A concussion and a broken skull are two different things folks.
Why can’t we have both?!?!
15-6 is a stupid score. Both teams are stupid, just like we knew they were
Somewhere some undeserving idiot is winning Super Bowl Squares.
Three games in NFL history have ended 15-6. The last was in 2008 and the Eagles won it.
Dammit – I thought that blackout was the meteor.
From your lips to Xenu’s many ears.
I know we all hate Belichick and Brady, but for me, there’s no one as satisfying to see pissed off on television as Josh McDaniels.
I dunno, I’ve always been partial to the Tom Coughlin “looking at a menu in a foreign language” look.
This extended dead air is the best commercial of the night.
Indeed. What was that?
A very expensive fuckup in the production trailer.
I’m feeling good now, but I hear a lawn mower starting up.
*deep inhale*
SQQQQQQUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
So, another way to look at this, today we find out if the Power of the Giants to defeat the Pats in the SB and cause self-harm in Pats fans extends to other NFC East teams
She seems nice.
If I were Doug Pederson I’d be yelling for grounding.
I’d probably be wrong but I’d be yelling.
What the fuck was that?
Brady getting panicky. I’m sure they’ll reboot him at the half.
Right in the nutsack hopefully.
I’m sort of OK with these completions, since every one of them seems to involve Brady getting knocked on his ass.
Birds of the same feather.
J-Lo and A-Rod?
For a few months now. I’m fairly certain that their offspring will make that kid from ‘The Omen’ look like Dennis the Menace.
Ain’t enough mirrors in that house for those two.
