I was like "The Rams made a Super Bowl but since Jeff Fisher was the coach clearly they never won!" Jeff Fisher coached the opposition, which might explain how they won. And definitely explains our subconscious attempt to asterisk it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Without looking, NFC East must have the most trophies. Cowboys 5, Giants 4, Washington 3, Eagles 1. Total of 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel Nation is grateful for the Eagles win so they don't have that far to travel to get a look at the 52 Lombardy Trophy. Only 5 more and the Eagles can match our Lombardis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It goes: NFC East: 13 AFC East: 8 AFC North: 8 NFC West: 7 AFC West: 7 NFC North: 5 NFC South: 2 AFC South: 2 That's my quickie math but I think it's right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point he says, "this is getting called back so what do the Eagles do now." It made me think, wait, they made the call? WTF? How was that not a catch and a TD? He catches the ball, has control of it, takes a couple steps before diving across the end zone. The ball crossed the plane with him in control of it. Again, how is that not a TD. And all Collinsworth could talk about was how it for sure wasn't a catch and if it wasn't a catch in Pittsburgh then it's not a catch here. How fucking dumb. Millions of people at home are doing your job better than you. Tony Romo for everything! It was the dumbest argument imaginable. Cindy and I were looking at each other wondering what the fuck he could've possibly seen that they didn't already show half a million times. Catch, both feet down, cross the plane, end of. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 As a random note I'd like to thank Phil Mushnick and the Post for reminding me of Super Bowl XXIII and Stanley Wilson fucking up royally aka The Worst Moment of My Entire Childhood (With the possible exception of the Sosccia home run off Doc in game 4 of the 1988 NLCS). Thank you very fucking much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a catch, my ass." LOL, i don't usually gripe about announcers, but I was wondering if Collingsworth had frostbite or heatstroke or some such after that play. Receiver caught the ball, took a step or two and dived into the endzone before he lost the ball. Fumble was a lot more likely than incompletion. I enjoyed the game, but didn't love it. First three quarters were like watching Madden. Last quarter was Patriots playing awful defense and letting Philly eat up the clock when it was fairly obvious their best chance to win was probably going to be getting the ball back into Brady's hands with time to do something. Both teams were really one-dimensional. Defense? Nope. Running game? Not really. Special teams? Nope. I was kinda disappointed that Philly finally forced a turnover with 2 min to go. Was looking forward to seeing if Brady could live up to his rep and engineer one more comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kronos Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 There was a commercial last night before the game, showing a female athlete signing an autograph for little girl. Inspired, the girl grows up to be an Olympic skier, and it ends with her signing for a new little girl. Anyone remember skier's name? I want to see it again. ETA: someone on twitter found it for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g753pOuAeQw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaldo Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Can we get a picture of Tom Brady showing good sportsmanship by shaking Nick Foles hand after the game?

Justin877 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Let's not forget "Oh Shucks Gosh O' Golly G" Peyton Manning didn't shake Drew Bree's hand at the SuperBowl either. "Peyton Manning, was once involved in a (conspicuously less documented) Super Bowl kerfuffle of his own, when he walked off the field after Super Bowl XLIV without shaking Drew Brees’ hand."

Millions of people at home are doing your job better than you. Tony Romo for everything! He and Al both went all-in on that play. It was disgusting. If they actually believed what they were saying, they are thoroughly incompetent at their jobs. It felt to me like they were trying to create controversy and drama instead of just talking about the game. Man, that sequence was just brutal. Gotta sell that "man, that catch rule is so VAGUE!" narrative. They showed a bunch of replays and I'm sitting there on my couch telling people "What the hell? This isn't even a difficult decision. It's not even remotely close." And then they took half an hour to freaking decide it. Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMark Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 To me, the first one was worth a look: the ball shifted in his arms, but it looked like it never came out of contact with his body or arms. The second was a travesty of broadcasting, the question that needed to be asked was "when did Ertz catch the ball?" and at no point did those morons commentating even think to ask it. The BBC's Rugby broadcasts have it right: get the audio from the video referee and show the replays they're looking at as they're making the decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
