I want the pats because I am an eagles fan. Most eagles fans wanted the Pat's. The childish behavior of some of you is incredibly amusing. No envy or disdain. Apparently since I moved out of mass 15 years ago, many new England fans decided to become like Yankees fans. It must be envy or hate, right? You should move to the Bronx...

Chris, I think he is like a lot of others who are tired of the Patriots domination and want to see them lose, or knocked off the top. They are unfortunately for him, in it for the long haul and they have the determination, consistency, hard working dedication to keep it going no matter what. Because they are winners. We are spoiled

I am the first to admit that the reason I hated the Yankees so much is because they beat us like a rug. Now that the sox have some titles under the belt the skanks are just another division foe. Zimmy doesn't have the hurt in his past yet and it shows.

First off, I want the eagles to win the Superbowl, whether it is the browns or the Patriots they have to play. But it is more enticing to have it come against the Pat's. It would be disingenuous to say 2005 and spygate aren't part of that. I also prefer if the pats are in for the long haul, but I think Bill might get out of there soon and Gisele will probably make Tom retire within 2 years to protect his head. In any case I hope they are both there next year and the eagles get back to face them with Carson Wentz.

8 Super Bowls for Brady is something you won’t see in our lifetime for any other QB.

I guess you probably aren't impressed with Tom's comeback history either, to put them in a position to win by those few points.

Yes & no
If they were truly the better team would never had been down .
Last year was either Tom is great or the Falcons got stupid in the 2nd half. Same goes for the SeaHawks and the dumbest play call in super bowl history.
The best super bowl team (07) lost to Eli

Only because of the outcome. Had it yielded a score, it would have been the smartest play call in catching them off guard by not using their star RB

It's so easy to talk AFTER the fact.
But the fact is, the PATS have been at the top, probably longer than ANY other team. You just can't deny that

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

I could agree with that, but have to ask; what is more crushing for the losing side? A blow out like last week's NFC game? A win snatched away by self inflicted damage as was done to Seattle? Or a comeback from the ashes as was experienced by Atlanta?

This is not one of the better Patriot teams brought to the game during the Kraft era, IMO. Game is a coin flip as I see it, with the edge to NE if only because Brady and Belichek have experience on their side. So I don't see a blow out. The team that should have won in a blow out ended up at 18-1.

Does it make a World Series win any less special if it goes 7 games instead of 4? A Stanley Cup?

A win is a win

I don’t agree.
You going to tell me the Giants were the better team in 07 because the won ?
The Rams were in my opinion the better team in 01 but they lost.
My point is if Patriots fans like saying greatest team ever or Tom Brady the greatest qb ever, a convincing blowout win would help that argument.
Good luck Sunday.
I could care less about who wins or watching the game, I’m taking a knee on the NFL.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Records owned by Brady

•Regular season wins by a starting quarterback (196)
•Division titles (15)
•Playoff games started (36)
•Playoff wins (27)
•Playoff touchdown passes (68)
•Playoff passing yards (9,721)
•Super Bowl appearances (8)
•Super Bowl wins (5)
•Super Bowl MVPs (4)
•Super Bowl touchdown passes (15)
•Super Bowl passing yards (2,071)

Records in Brady’s reach

• Most passing touchdowns: The record is held by Manning, who finished his career with 539 touchdowns. Brady is 51 behind
• Most passing touchdowns (postseason included): The record is Manning’s 579, Brady is at 556 and will likely be able to hit that mark before the end of 2018.
• Most passing yards (postseason included): The record for yards in the regular season and postseason is Manning’s at 79,279. Brady is 3399 yards behind and already well ahead of Brees, making it a mark that is primed for the taking in 2018.
• Game-winning drives: He needs just three more to pass Manning’s 56. Brady averages about two or three a year, so he could realistically top Manning in 2018.
• Fourth-quarter comebacks: Brady has a good chance at topping Manning’s 45 fourth-quarterback comebacks. He’s also three from that record and could beat it in 2018.

But he needs to beat up on a team by more points in the SB to solidify his claim as GOAT

Got it

Every Super Bowl win or loss could have had a different outcome if not for some luck, stupidity of opposing coach, opposing qb throwing up on the field, a clutch kicker etc........
Then you got the argument is it just him or is it the coach.
By the way, I am of opinion that Belickick is the best coach ever.

Ronnie, the better team figures a way to make enough of the critical plays on THAT day in THAT game to win. Period. With one caveat.... winning on a missed last second field goal attempt (Buffalo, cough, Scott Norwood, cough) is not making a critical play
