maybe a fun idea for keeping this thread updating regularly...
how many ways in which the philly special was special can we list?
i'll start...
1) the name of the play
2) there's a video of foles running it in highschool

Man, McCourty got roasted on that Ertz TD. But if the play had been overturned, his lunge tackle at the end would have gone down in history

Old Friend Barkley ran it and caught it with the Bears.

god Kelce played out of his mind

that block where he grabbed two dudes at once and manhandled harrison is incredible

Yea, it looked like he was beat, and then he said fuck it I got two.

I was a big detractor of Kelce in the past but he was not only very good in the SB but was outstanding all season. Just an amazing job and one of the biggest reasons for the offensive line success this year.

There's a reason Stoutland was one of the coaches they retained from Chip's staff. He did an incredible job

if you don't have time for the full nfl network, here's a good summary version

Yes and Yes but who cares. In a year or two, no one will remember or care --

Me too.

Heck, I wanted them to get the first down and never let him touch the ball or even think he could pull off a miracle. To let the sack fumble - be the end.

If you get a chance to see the NFL Films version of the game - it's incredible. They showed it in two segments on the show with Simms, JB and Esiason - Brandon Marshall is a fun dude, nothing like what I imagined.

But they aired the first half then talked then the second half of the edits with NFL Films, it was better than NBC. You can hear some of the stuff Foles said in huddle and sideline - must see!

NFL Network is really good right now.

Was there ever any analysis on whether the Ertz TD ball truly ever hit the ground? I haven't looked frame by frame but it looks like he's clutching it with both hands which would mean he has some leeway to let it graze the turf, right?

It looked like it hit the ground, it popped into the air. If he wasn't a runner by the rule of the law that would be incomplete imo, but he took 3 steps.
