The greatest sports win I've ever had the experience of winning as a fan. This will be the biggest parade in the history of sports. Brother-in-law works downtown and we're already planning on sleeping there Monday night for a parade on Tuesday. The amount of people partying in and around Philly is insane. Even towns in the suburbs have closed down major roads as people party. And to win this in the style they did is just even more incredible. There could be 3-4 million in Philly for this parade. The only team to ever defeat Vince Lombardi in a postseason game (1960 NFL title) has just broken the curse and won the trophy named after him. This is the biggest night in Philly since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Go Birds! E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!!!!!
What a night! When Graham stripped Brady & Barnett picked the ball up I was jumping (quite high) uncontrollably up & down going crazy. The end was almost anticlimatic. The parade this week, which should be announced when in the next few minutes or hour or so will be one helluva party!
If you would've told me before the game Brady would throw for 500 & Hogan, Amendola & Gronk would all gofor 100 you'd be crazy to think the Eagles would win.
The Eagles were the better team, they had no answers for Agholor & Ertz, both Ajayi & Blount ran well & Foles was incredible & went toe to toe in the middle of the ring with Brady & neither Belichick or Patricia had an answer as to how to stop them all night.
Some interesting quotes popping up on the internet. Who will be the QB next year?
Honestly though does anyone REALLY think Carson would have taken the Eagles this far? Foles is a far superior QB in all facets of the game. Look forward to him starting next year, hopefully Carson can find a new team that will let him play.

We'll see. Foles played well and kept his cool. Who was it that won the Super Bowl as a free agent (or became a free agent following the SP) and got a huge contract? Flacco? Maybe Foles can channel some of that.
It was good to see a couple of former Gamecocks spar off against each other. I know Gilmore is disappointed he lost but he covered Jeffery pretty damn well last night - even breaking up a pass in the end zone.
Like I said I watch almost no NFL, was pulling for the Eagles. The Patriots were running a hurry up offense most of the game it seemed. I see it all the time in college- teams running a great, hurry up offense with a swiss cheese, charmin soft defense (I watched it for 2 years with JMU 2014-2015). The Patriots defense didn’t seem that deep, no? If you’re defense isn’t that deep and is getting gassed, why in the world would you run continued to run a hurry up Offense? It KILLS your defense..
