Victory, Bets Edition...

“When Chris [Long] came [to Philadelphia], we were just talking,” Flajole said. “And I think it was probably training camp, and I probably told him something to the extent of, ‘Hey, nothing would be better than to raise the Lombardi Trophy with you.’ And he said, ‘Hey, if we go to the Super Bowl and win, I’ll put a tattoo of your face on my body,'” Flajole recalled. “I said, ‘OK, Chris, you better be careful now, because you never know how these things turn sometimes.'”

Sorry if this has been posted. It's the fumble call by 13 different announcers from around the world. I think my fav was from australian radio (starts around 1:55). "The script is flipped. Tom Brady, bereft on the turf. It literally has been ripped from his grasp."

That's just so great.

Two things I have been telling non-Eagles fans that weren't thrilled that the Eagles won.

1 - This season shows one of the greatest things about the NFL. A last place team with a losing record the previous season can win the SB in one season making all the right moves.

2 - You don't need a Tom Brady, Peyton Manning type QB or even an all time great defense to win a SB. In the past it was you could win a SB if you had either one of those in many SBs.

Foles was great but I guess I mean you don't need a HOF caliber QB to win a SB. I guess Flacco is another great example of that.

They had the defense and a high-scoring offense though. They just had that period at the end of the season where Foles needed practice. I went back and watched the NFL highlight recaps on YouTube and this team looked unstoppable at times

Has anyone done what Foles did between the conference championship game and Super Bowl?

Right, so it should give other teams hope that if you have good play calling and play makers that you don't necessarily need a Rodgers or Brady to win it all. The defense was very good at home but I wouldn't consider them a historic defense like the Ravens, Seahawks or Bears defenses that carried their teams to the SB wins.

I know Flacco had 11 TDS 0 picks in his run but don't remember the breakdown of when they happened.

Edit

SB - 287 yds and 3 TDs
Conf Champ - 240 and 3TDs

He was the only one that came to mind since I can remember.
