Quote from: Trench on February 09, 2025, 09:35:54 PMMy point is - look at them now 12 months removed. If we were able to back and look at our threads about the Eagles from then, many were saying they're done and it's over.

My point is - maybe things aren't as bad as we think. Reason for hope. Last year 98% on here said Eagles coach was a bust and out of control and their team was done. 98% of us (myself included) were 100% wrong
The Giants aren't owned by Jeff Lurie and don't have a GM remotely as good as the Eagles GM.

Barkley carried the offense almost all season and Hurts just had to be good enough

In the big game... it pains me ... but hurts showed up

A lot of stuff gets said here and the majority of it ends up being as close to right as the Chiefs are to winning this game. Just because it's said here doesn't make it correct. Not many folks here are going to give an honest assessment of a hated division rival.

To your point, things are never as bad (or good) as we make them out to be.

Hurts is a winner.

Hurts is a 3x pro bowler and had 32 TDs this season. He's good!  You knew the KC was going to load up against the run, leaving Hurts to have a big game. He's also came up big in the last SB he played in; let's not pretend he's not a dynamic QB.

I think it's a disgrace we only see the commander in chief once in the entire telecast. Fox left a lot to be desired

I think now he has to be in the conversation with Jackson, Allen, and Burrow

Why is it a disgrace ? People tune in to watch football not to look at him. . I would feel the same way if we saw a lot of Taylor Swift who incidentally is so much more popular than he is.

Because they kept showing famous people - including the owner of Fox

How many did they show more than once?

Eagles deserve immense credit. Everyone of us had them dead last year. As well as their fans. Look now.

I believe in Brandon Brown to get us there

TRench, I disagree what you said about showing people but I agree about Brandon Brown

Yeah, I'm not being political here, but I appreciated he came to the game (in fact I was surprised to learn we never had a President attend a Super Bowl)...actually it shocked me...but since he showed up I would've enjoyed seeing him on camera a few times - especially since they showed the actors/actresses and owner of Fox

Tom Brady needs to improve big time as an announcer.  To have Greg Olsen on the bench is a travesty.

Yup, he's not very good and surprisingly adds very little insight.  Mostly just obvious takes.
