Looks like Eagles joining Patriots. Don't know who I want to lose more.
Yet some people will still try and argue that he's not the best to ever do it.

well as i said vikings never had a chance of making superbowl, they should have been out last week lets be honest. surprised so many people thought they could win it, even the sky pundits admitted no one picking eagles
EXCEPT ME. i know my nfl
as for the other game pats figured out jags offence afetr 1st half and it wasnt a shock to seem them come back. good effort from jags though
hope eagles can win superbowl now

This season has sort of proven that you don't need to be paying way over the odds for your franchise QB. There are plenty of so called back ups out there that, given the right coaching, can be just as effective. Keenum has had an amazing season at the Vikings and Foles was incredible last night, no way you'd be able to pick him out as a backup. As a Redskins fan I really hope we don't give Cousins this huge deal he's after and trade for one of these QBs on a reasonable salary ($10m or something) then use the money to give him some weapons.

Alex Smith traded to Redskins!!!
The Kirk Cousins era is over in DC, Alex Smith traded for Fuller and a 3rd.
Cant help but feel like this is a trade down but with the contractual situation with Kirk our hand was forced a little, surprised we didn't take a QB early in the draft.
I'm not overly convinced by Smith although the system he played in KC has similarities to ours, he used Travis Kelce a lot, we have J Reed (if he can stay healthy), hoping he can utilise Chris Thompson in a similar way to how he got Kareem hunt catching in the backfield and making plays.
With stability under centre for the foreseeable future we can continue to try to build the defence and I'd like to see us try and pick us up an offensive weapon or two for Smith in free agency.

I'm still hoping for a reasonably early QB draft. Someone we can develop while Smith is first choice.
Now lets see who's going to pay way over the odds for Cousins.

I think Smith and Cousins are quite similar, except that Smith is a lot more mobile and will give you yards on the ground.
Extra string to our bow for me.

Wonder what will happen with Blake Bortles. A weak link for the Jags I would say.
If they had a better QB I think they would have won the Superbowl this year.

They don't have room in the salary cap to pay for a decent QB do they?

Yep. No-one though (pundits too) believed Nick Foles was going to put in such an effort, such a performance.
You can't tell me you did?
Had it been Wendzt I would have said the Eagles, but so many were predicting that the Vikings had the best team to take them to the Superbowl this year.

I would go with the Eagles, but then I think the Belichick factor could be the difference.
The guy is just something else as a coach and there will be some tricks up his sleeve tonight.
Key for Philadelphia is to get pressure on Brady. They do that, that could nullify NE.
Heart says Patriots, head says..... it hasn't got a clue.

I'm still hoping there's a way for neither of them to win it. The Eagles will be insufferable if they win and the Patriots are already completely insufferable. I'm hoping Eagles just so Nick Foles is a Super Bowl winning QB...
...Like Alex Smith will be next year.

You can't miss the point after in a Super Bowl against the Pats. Great throw for the TD though.
