1) There is a ton of faith in Sam Bradford in the Eagles' locker room, and if you're one of the people who made up their mind on the guy three weeks into the season, it might be time to take an objective look at his performance over the two months since. Bradford was just 14-for-24 for 120 yards but he made a handful of beautiful throws in high-leverage situations, including a first down to Riley Cooper with a man in his face on third-and-11 with 2:49 remaining and the Eagles clinging to a lead that the Patriots had shaved from 21 to seven.
In his last seven games, he has completed 64 percent of his passes for 1,739 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions. Graham referred to him as "our leader" as he talked about the energy the quarterback brought to the locker room before the game.
2) Any issue in the Eagles' locker room is/was amongst players as much as it was with coaches/scheme. Jenkins and Graham both talked about a new sense of accountability that percolated in the NovaCare Complex last week, with both players and coaches demanding excellence from each other.
"Everything people said we can't do, we've done before," Jenkins said.
"It's set up," Graham said, noting the Giants' loss to the Jets earlier in the day. "We've just got to stay together. It's on us."
The fact that Miles Austin was relegated to the inactive list and DeMarco Murray was used as a glorified third-stringer for the majority of the game spoke volumes.
Happy birthday. The Pats loss was a good present!Good morning everyone. I'm 23 today.. Yay.. Maybe for my birthday, Farmer/Pettine can be fired?
I didn't realized the Bucs beat Cleveland..
I'm not okay with this.. I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS!!!
Steelers probably lose that game unless the Panthers choke in the first half and we are able to build up a big lead.Steelers-Panthers SB

A good defense goes a long ass way in the playoffs.
I would much rather see the Cardinals if the Steelers could bullshit their way to that game.
Seattle needs home field in my opinion to go to the SB.Grover and I both mentioned this yesterday, but the NFC is going to come down to avoiding Seattle in the 2nd round. They are certainly beatable, but it will be tough to beat SEA and then have to play AZ or CAR the next week. If anything, I would bet on SEA winning the NFC

Pep was right
-The Patriots were 94-0 when leading at home by 8 points at any time of a game since 2001
-Chip outcoached Belichick yesterday. File that in the "genius" jokes drawer
-Helps when the QB doesn't turn it over of course. Brady is great but they missed Gronk
-Brady had the numbers but the Eagles do not have a functional middle linebacker. Kendricks is lost and Kiko is not an NFL player right now
-Brady would have been the Eagles leading receiver along with Matthews w/36 yards
-Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Tom Brady combined: 7 TDs 8 INTs vs PHI
-Jameis Winston, Matthew Stafford combined: 10 TDs 0 INTs vs PHI
-Eagles 5-4 in games Bradford starts and finishes. 0-2 in Sanchez games. Were winning MIA game when Bradford hurt
I really hope Chip gets it with Murray. He does not run hard. I don't care if Barner fumbled. Keep playing him. Austin should be cut. Go sign whichever WR is on Seattle's or Pittsburgh's practice squad
Happy Birthday, Floyd!
Antonio Brown. Super Bowl MVP. I cal feel it in my bones.
Pep was right
Only 1 team has been elimated from the playoffs.
The browns
Happy birthday. The Pats loss was a good present!
Jimmy Haslam hasn't assured Browns' Mike Pettine he'll make it through the season
I think he probably does. If Haslam fires him early, it might actually scare the team into winning a game or two, which cannot happen.
Beating NE in NE is a big accomplishment regardless of how it's done. They have a plethora of cheat codes available to them there and they still came up short.Probably loses something in translation
Plus I hear that there's no comedy in Germany
You're bragging on a 5-7 team that beat a better team (that cheats) through a blocked punt for a TD, punt return for a TD, and a TAINT.
Sorry if I'm not going to drink this water anytime soon. The winner of the NFC East is going to be 7-9.

Hah, same thing happened to me after playing on Thanksgiving morning. Was sore the rest of the day through. This was a year hiatus though, don't know in your caseI'm still really sore after playing football on Saturday. My legs don't want to work right now.

I clicked on the philly.com link that squicken posted and had a look at the report card one of their columnists gave for the game.
Gave the passing offence an A-

He threw two touchdowns and the entire 2nd half we were burning clock. Big plays were made in the passing game when they had to be, A+.
The problem with having a superstar like Watt on your team is that the other players sit back and wait for him to do something. Guys were just hanging on their blocks waiting for Watt to penetrate.
Yea I don't think it was this at all.
The bills threw the ball I think 7 times in the first half. Their play calling was actually very good, they were doing misdirection runs all over the place. One guy misses a tackle at the line that would be a stop for no gain to 3 yards and instead McCoy runs for 35+ yards. Or they have him wrapped up and he still gets out. McCoy is very good at that. Their offensive game plan was very good. And while McCoy was out being evaluated for a concussion the bills offense did a whole lot of nothing.
I was also very impressed with Tyrod Taylor, in addition to being a very mobile QB, which the Texans like many team struggle with, he gets the ball out very fast.
The disappointing part is Andre Hall had a pick six late in the 4th quarter hit him square in the hands and he dropped it. No one would have even touched him and it probably wins the game.

Yeah, it's been about a year since I last played.

No, but are we going to pretend that they didn't show heart after said ass whoopings to beat one of best teams in the NFL after being down 14-0 early in the game?So we're totally going to pretend like the 45-14 ass whooping that the Lions gave you all didn't count? Or the 45-17 one by the Bucs before it?

I never said we were Super Bowl favorites, I said we have a chance as we showed signs of life. And an argument should never begin with "I didn't watch the game, but..."
Who knew we had so many closeted Patriots fans? Sorry Chip and Sam stepped on your Uggs yesterday
You watch subs.5-7
Y'all should be wearing animu avatars and discussing the merits of subtitled vs dubbed anime.

how are they even considering bringing back Luck with a torn abdomen and a lacerated kidney? Some other player went out the week before Luck with a lacerated kidney and he's on IR.
Like not even speaking about Colts vs Texans or division or anything like that, I just think its crazy that they ever considering bringing him back.
You watch subs.
There are maybe like 5 good dubs ever.
