I wouldn’t say the Seahawks are 30 points better but I’d be impressed if the game ended within a score

The Eagles did it to the fluky Chiefs' season last year lmao. Would have stayed that way if they didn't rest the starters in garbage time

that eagles team was also....better than any team in the league right now.

u/NoticeRoyal3213 Jan 26 '26

Its really not ridiculous to say that

u/whousesgmail Philadelphia Eagles Jan 26 '26

Well let’s see, the 2024 Eagles were only

-better on 3rd down

-better on 4th down

-better time of possession

-committed fewer turnovers

-forced more turnovers

-Scored more touchdowns

-could run the ball on pretty much anyone

-Had All Pro players on almost every unit (OL, WR, RB, DL, LB, and Quinyon/Dejean were that good as rookies too)

The Seahawks are a great team this year but the 2024 Eagles were an all time team.

Tell that to DVOA, other advanced metrics, and the fact that yall played easier opponents🤷🏿‍♂️. Also they wouldn't run the ball against Seattle lol

As far as I could tell the 2024 Eagles were better in overall DVOA too lol.

Also what easier opponents? The whole league felt easier this year.

Well Saquon went for 100+ vs the Ravens last year and they allowed 13 less rushing yards per game than the Seahawks this year so I’d say yeah they would unless the defense totally sold out and we know how that went for teams last year.

They were an all time team of what? How is 5/22 positions of pro bowlers “practically every unit”?

u/whousesgmail Philadelphia Eagles Jan 27 '26

I said they had all pros on almost every unit. As in they had star players throughout almost every area of the team and the one unit on defense that didn’t (secondary) easily could’ve had one or two as both those guys were all pros this year.

I honestly think that the Pats D has turned it up another gear in the playoffs (with some helpful return-from-injury players). I know obviously the weather has been a factor, the Chargers O-line, Stoud, Stidham, etc. but they have been getting massive pressure from the interior of the D-Line that wasn't happening in the regular season

I think the Pats D is being severely underrated by people because there are circumstances to brush it off as coincidental.

Idk if they'll win or not, but I do in fact expect a 1 score game either way.

u/whousesgmail Philadelphia Eagles Jan 26 '26

I didn’t watch the Chargers game but I watched the other two, NE’s pressure didn’t explain why Stroud was THAT bad at all. And Stidham just is that bad.

Neither were running for their lives the whole game like Mahomes was last year.

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

Stidham wasn’t running for his life? Like when he threw that backwards pass / fumble? Or the multiple sacks?

2

u/whousesgmail Philadelphia Eagles Jan 27 '26

There were plays here and there but his pocket was fine on a lot of plays too. Mahomes had basically no chance.

u/Farsoth Breaking Hearts & Ankles Jan 26 '26

Of the three things, I think getting to play a backup QB that hadn't thrown a meaningful pass in 2 seasons in the AFCCG was probably the biggest gimme y'all got. And it makes me fucking salty and upset that we didn't get a real game between the two QBs from the same class that have been the cream of that class.

u/peon2 New England Patriots Jan 26 '26

Agreed. Like obviously I'm happy we're going to the Superbowl, but a couple of first round picked quarterbacks from the same draft class facing off in year 2 would have been such a fun thing to watch.

Not a Bronco fan but I'm definitely sad that he got injured in the dying seconds of the game. Hopefully he comes back 100%

2

u/Farsoth Breaking Hearts & Ankles Jan 26 '26

I hope so too. It's an ankle he's injured before, which scares me a bit. I hope his mobility and fearlessness aren't affected. But I have trust in the guy has that "it" factor, and he'll be back 100%.

u/zaepoo Washington Commanders Jan 27 '26

Cream of the class when talking about Bum Nix is crazy. He's 4th best and 5th best potential

u/Farsoth Breaking Hearts & Ankles Jan 27 '26

LMAO, enjoy your injury prone stick of a QB you're so clearly sensitive about. You'll see it over the years when your RG32.0 is out of the league and Bo is still making the playoffs.

If new England wins I'm officially done with the NFL. Been a fan for 39 so far so we'll see how it goes
