I really can't root for either of these teams.

I'm with you there, hard for me to root for Philly given their fan's atrocious treatment of the Rays when they met in the World Series some years back.

I'm hugely ignorant but i quite like Philly fans in that i know nothing about them apart from how terrible they are, and that amuses me.

I saw some old 99 vikings fan give a message then the philly fans creating banners and chants against her, it's so ridiculous it's sublime.

I'm away to google more of their antics and then find out how wrong it is to find them funny.

I can't say I like the Eagles, but I don't hate them like I do the Patriots.

If the Eagles play all 4 quarters, they can win.  I'm really tired of teams trying to win only playing 3.  Play the whole game.

Mother's milk, H - how professional sports teams can't seem to get this is beyond me.

They come out the gate strong, like one should, but the Patriots are adept at minimizing damage and keeping the game close.  Then when time is running low, they have the confidence to play well from behind.  The only other option is to bury the game by so much there simply isn't any time to lose the lead, but that just isn't really going to happen.

Ok, I think Sam Darnold will be a huge bust, Josh Rosen has a chance to be a decent NFL QB, if he can adjust his attitude. But, if I am a NFL GM in need of a QB, I'm taking Baker Mayfield.

Here me out. If you see the QB's that are successful, its because the system fits their strengths. i dont know understand why they force a spread QB to be a 7-step drop QB. Eagles just won the SB by basically running RPO (Run-Pass option) plays 75% of the game out of spread sets. The NFL is changing and QB's like Mayfield are prime to take over the NFL. He has arm strength, accuracy, and seems to be a great leader. His antics don't bother me, he'll grow out of that. He's NOT Manziel. I'm telling you, Mayfield will have best career out of those QB's. Wyoming's Josh Allen is the wild card.

I will strike down those who speak your name or the name of your fathers, until ‘Yursalka’ becomes as meaningless as infant babble. I will blot you out, hunt down your every trace!
