Super Bowl 52!

[Amy]

We're back in the big game again. I know a lot of people are tired of us being here, but every generation has it's great teams. The 60s Packers, the 70s Steelers, the 80s Niners, the 90s Cowboys and now us.

Now it's time to try and get our second 3 in 4 years. But the Eagles will not be easy. In the end, I think it comes down to Nick Foles. If we get Divsional Round Foles, I think we easily win. If we get Championship Round Foles, it could go either way.

The Eagles inactives are OT William Beatty, RB Wendell Smallwood, WR Marcus Johnson, DE Steven Means, DTs Elijah Qualls and Destiny Vacao and CB Sindey Jones.

The Pats inactives are OL Cole Croston, RB Mike Gillislee, TE Jake Hollister, WRs Kenny Britt and Bernard Reedy, DL Alan Branch, and LB David Harris.

I'm a little suprised that Branch is not active given that LG is on the Eagles now.

Good luck Josh! Good Luck Matty P! You want your last game with us to be a win before you go to Indy (booo!) and Detroit.

Go PATS!

Let's get six!

Just over an hour until kickoff.

James Harrison starting in the Super Bowl for the Pats!

That has got to irk Steeler fans!

Go Pats!

Gene Steretore is the ref. We win the toss and we defer.

Philly starts at the 26 after a short kick and nice return.

Philly has a long opening drive.

It starts out in the air. Foles finds Agholor for 4, then goes to Jeffrey on a screen that gets just 2. He moves around on third down and goes back to Jeffrey for 17.

They run the ball but Van Noy stuffs Blount for a loss of 2. Foles misses Smith on the sideline, but finds him for 15 on 3rd and 12.

Ertz gets 7 off playaction. Ajayi has two runs for 9, and a screen to Clement goes for 12. They had first and goal at the 5.

Blount runs to the 2. Ertz is called for the first foul of the game on a false start. On second and goal from the 7, Foles has to throw it away. Rowe bats down the third down pass to Jeffrey.

They settle for the 25 yard field goal.

3-0. Eagles 7:55 left

We need better third down defense.

[Amy]

We start at the 25 after a touchback.

We answer. Brady's first pass is to Cooks and low and incomplete. Then he finds White for 15.

After catching Philly with 12 men on defense, Brady goes playaction to Hogan for 28.

A sweep by Higan gets four. Gronk has catch for 9, then White has one for 6. After White gains nothing on 2nd down, Mills knocks down a pass intended for Gronk.

We tie the game with a 26 yard field goal.

3-3. 4:17 left.

[Amy]

They start at the 23.

Fast drive. Foles finds Ahgolor for 7. Then they get chunk plays. Blount for 36, then Foles to Jeffery for 34 and the touchdown.

Props to the Eagles on that drive.

They miss the extra point.

9-3 Eagles. 2:34 left.

[Amy]

We start at the 18.

Really long TV timeout after the kickoff.

We hold the ball for the rest of the first.

Lewis starts us off with an 8 yard run. But a false start on Gronk and a miss deep to Hogan gave us 3rd and 7. Brady was under pressure. Moved, threw and...

DANNY! 47 yards.

Brady went to Hogan 12 more and two runs by White ended the quarter. We start the second with a 3rd and 1.

[Amy]

And we fail. 3rd down is a sweep to Cooks that is stopped.

I would have gone for the QB sneak, we go for the FG, it's a bad snap and goes off the upright.

/sigh/

[Amy]

Eagles take over at the 20 with 14:13 left.

Three and out!

[Amy]

We start at the 37 with 13:11 left.

We are having insanely long commercial breaks tonight.

Brady finds Cooks for 23. He was hit on his blindside (cleanly IMO) by Jenkins. He's down and I'm guessing out for the game. It looked like he was knocked out cold. Injury timeout.

We have first and 10 at the Eagles 40 after the injury timeout.

We get nothing off it. Jenkins knocks down a first down pass. Lewis runs for 5. We try a pitch to Danny and a pass to Brady but it's dropped. On 4th and 5 we go for it. We go deep (?) to Gronk and it's incomplete.

That was a bad playcalll sequence by Josh. Very bad.

We do not need Josh doing tests in the Super Bowl.
