Nick Foles' play will be the x factor - the Pats have a big advantage at QB but Philly is superior at most other positions, particularly the O-Line and on defense. If Foles plays the way he did in the NFC championship game the Eagles will be nearly impossible to beat.

Go Pats!!! Brady needs one for the other hand

The Cheatriots don't need anymore rings, people are sick of seeing the same teams in the championships.

@Celli please do not troll people who are rooting for the Patriots.

I don't believe you can call his opinion trolling when said opinion is the more popular opinion in the US right now. Hard to define something as provocative when it's posted in a thread than generally represents the majority view and the prevailing attitude of those that have picked a team to root for. 

Gentle ribbing is fun and comes with the turf. I'm hoping for a fun game (with a favorable outcome), but I'm not going to get all upset if someone comes in here and says, "I can't stand Philly .... they suck because they beat my team."

I'm not trolling? This is standard sports banter.

Well, at least you don't have the displeasure of supporting Buffalo. 

Sigh

Maybe someday we'll win a Super Bowl.

Which coin are they going to toss in tomorrow's Super Bowl? Because I think they should use a quarter, as each side of the quarter coincidentally symbolizes one of the teams that are playing.

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on becoming the 20th team to win a Super Bowl!

You now join the Packers, Jets, Chiefs, Colts, Cowboys, Dolphins, Steelers, Raiders, 49ers, Redskins, Bears, Giants, Broncos, Rams, Ravens, Patriots, Buccaneers, Saints, and Seahawks!

Only 12 teams remain!

All 4 NFC East teams have a Super Bowl title.

Also, All 4 Philadelphia teams now have a still existing championship!

Despite of losing the bet on Engle 38 and Patriot 33, nothing's better than having to see the  former underdog won the Super bowl! They deserve it and has made it to become one of the great Super bowl history.

The parade was a ton of fun on Thursday. Best speech award goes to Jason Kelce who might have a future in the wrestling business if this football thing doesn’t work out.

I've yet to be able to eloquently put my thoughts and feelings into words regarding what moment that this was. I will share one not game moment from last week. As we were sitting down preparing to watch, Pink comes out for the National Anthem. Both my kids turned to me, having the same look I probably had on my face. I wasn't aware she was singing. At the time of Jessica's death, Pink was her favorite female artist. We actually went to a concert together years ago. To us, the game at that moment felt like destiny. She once said that knew that one day my Eagles were going to win, and when they do ... that team will feel special ... that that game would be special. I couldn't shake the feeling throughout the game that she was there in spirit, cheering on the team and giving my family this one ephemeral moment of joy after a year of heartache and stress. 

Yeah, the Eagles winning meant a lot that night. And that team and game was certainly special.

I really loved the words Doug Pederson and Nick Foles spoke after the game. They have won my respect, so much so that I wouldn't mind if your team wins another Super Bowl next year.
