Unreal game. Fair play to the Eagles.

Brady straight off down the tunnel. Probably a bit (Himalayan pink) salty.

Absolutely brilliant Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles!!  That td play for Foles to score was something else. Oh to be in philly this week!

[heganboy]

That was epic.
Philly rode their luck on a few of those calls, but as gallsman points out some of those plays have been called both ways with no consistency whatsoever.

Some of the local ads in New York were hilarious. For hard core Giants fans that was the nightmare line up.

These 2 lads commentating are halfwits they haven't a clue about the catch rule!

Absolutely. I couldn't believe how stupid Michaels and Collinsworth were. He caught the ball at the 5 yard line FFS.

Now the owner who can't play, coach or pick players gets the trophy. Only in America

Sure God and Jesus Christ won it for them, why would a player get it?

Now, moving on, who's going to pay Foles 100+ million?

Absolutely brilliant. People were on about "Foles can't win a SB" but you couldn't win a SB with that defence. Brady was outrageous again, shredding a brilliant defence but Foles with good, clever, positive play calling absolutely annihilated that rubbish defence.

[David McKeown]

Fair play to the Eagles. Didn't see the Patriots losing a shoot out. Yes the Eagles got lucky one one TD call but no more luck than any team that ever wins the SB so fair play to them. Came up with the big plays when needed most.

[gallsman]

The Malcolm Butler revelations gonna be interesting.

[magpie seanie]

Eagles for the win 41-31

Cracking prediction!!!!

[magpie seanie]

Also - delighted for Brian Urlacher on his elevation to the HOF. Incredible player.

[Syferus]

It's still disgusting that it took them this long to enshrine Owens. Serious begrudgery in the greybeard NFL elite.

It seems I spoke too soon. There was no presentation to the owner this year. It was a bit of a mess. Where was Goodell to make the presentation? Pederson just picked up the trophy.

[gallsman]

You missed the beginning - Goodell did the world champs speech and presented it to Jeff Lurie.
