Isn’t this how Julien coaches?
They had franchise him or lose him to FA, I think. Basically they ran out of time since Golden Boy thinks he can play for 4 more seasons. That’s asking too much of a kid chomping at the bit to be a #1.
Apart from the 9ers, the happiest team with that trade were the Jets, Dolphins and Bills.
I also give Eagles GM credit for spending 12M on their backup -- 7M on Foles and 5M to cut Chase Daniels.
Some GMs get you to the playoffs and some GMs get you through the playoffs.
Ertz was definitely a “runner”. The other TD looked a bit fishy. No matter, Philly earned this one; the Patriots were just brutal in the 1st half.
Great intense game - all a fan can ask for. And I get to hear a bunch of grumbling pissed New Englanders in the AM. Puuuurfect!

The last few Superbowls have been amazing. I'm old enough to remember when they were all blowouts.

Pre-salary cap years when a few NFC teams were stacked. My Pats were destroyed by Da Bears and, oh man, what SF did to the stupid chargers.
It was ballsy but I like the philosophy that the Eagles took. Nobody picked them to win so they really had nothing to lose. Might as well go balls out trying to win rather than playing it safe while waiting for Brady to destroy them.
If any Habs coach since Demers had been coaching the Eagles today they'd have lost because they would have settled for field goals instead of trying to score touchdowns.

Chip Kelly kinda looks like a noob.
Anyway, lotsa recriminations for “Duck Dynasty” Patricia in Patriots’ world. I think it’s harsh, the talent level is pretty mediocre. Needs an extensive rebuild. Brady put up 30+ against and excellent Philly D, but it wasn’t enough.

Apparently Gronk is thinking of retiring.
Wouldn’t blame him. He’s had a helluva run, but that head shot has to make him think about it.
Philadelphia is on fire. Krust should be out handing out business cards.

Yeah, in emerge. Screw chasing ambulances, let them come to you.
