What a mental game! We stopped them twice in the game, both at exactly the right time! I was majorly wrong about Foles, what a player! Got into a shootout with Brady and came out on top! The only player in Superbowl history to throw a TD and catch a TD in the same game!
I can't see me getting much sleep before work at 8am!
Enjoy it mate.Quote:

Well done Philly! Well deserving of the win, and it's actually nice to see a new team win it for a change (even if a number of their fans chose to celebrate it by torching their own city...).
Enjoy it chaps - I'm pleased some of our forum get the chance to celebrate it for the first time. Despite all the derision aimed at Foles, he was very composed and excellent last night. Wentz did a superb job getting them into position, and I've nothing but praise for the Philadelphia coaching staff and Foles for being able to maintain that momentum.
I've said for a few weeks now I didn't think we were good enough to win it, and yet they kept finding ways to surprise me. Feels like that could be our last appearance for a while, as NE is going to be a changing organisation in this off-season. I feel both Patricia (thank goodness) and Josh McDaniels will depart for head coaching roles elsewhere, and we have a few players at the end of a contract who won't be renewed. A genuine chance next year for a more competitive AFC East, and hopefully AFC in general, as it always felt like a weaker conference this year.
Good to see another Broncos fan. What do you think we will do in off season? Cousins? Mayfield? Both? One and draft O line again?Quote:

Nick Foles put together a playoff run for the ages, imagine coming in as a backup and winning superbowl MVP, the stuff dreams are made of. How on earth did we win despite conceding over 600 yards? The fourth down conversions at the end of the first half for Foles TD was an incredible play and an absolutely amazing play call from Pederson. The defence made 1 play all game and did it at absolutely the best time!
What happened with Malcolm Butler, got to think he could have helped slow our offense down a little?
Is that because you've torched your workplace to the ground? :greengrinQuote:

Unless the concussions are building up for him surely he wouldn't retire. Would be a massive blow to the Pats if he did, he's virtually unstoppable.Quote:

He's also had major surgery on his arm, his knee and his back in recent years.
I really hope he doesn't, but he's made a mint playing football and will be one of the most successful footballers of a generation.
Wouldn't surprise me if he does retire, a lot more football players are retiring earlier than expected. He's been in what 4 super bowls? He's got two rings, a ton of money and he'll probably be on tv a lot after he retires... But he'd be a huge miss for the team.Quote:

Looks like he'll be in a position to demand a rather hefty pay check wherever he goes.
Without better protection it won't really matter who plays QB though, so the rest of the offense also clearly needs improvement.
Elway is going to be very busy trying to find the right players to bring in.
He already made the huge decision to keep Vance Joseph as head coach which was quite a surprise.
He (Joseph) really needs to step up after looking way out of his depth at times last season.
Both of them will be under massive pressure to turn things around quickly.
I'm not especially optimistic but we'll see what happens.
Matt Patricia announced as the new Lions head coach.
Had a good run in New England, but our defense has consistently been the worst part of our team.
Not sure he'll work out in Detroit, but I wish him well.
I'm more bothered about losing McDaniels.Quote:
