I can't stay up throughout the night to see the Super Bowl. I'm going to program my USB and watch the game directly after I'm awake. Of course washing and eating breakfast first. No ordinary tv ´cause this may reveal who won-Not before after having seen the final.

I'm sure August will disagree:03: but I think the Philadelphia Eagles have a real chance to pull this one out. On the other hand, I thought the Jacksonville Jaguars were going to pull an upset as well. Who do you think will win ?



Stay tuned. :)

I thought Buffalo would go to the Super Bowl ... they didn't even make it through the first round.

New England and Tom Brady are just too tough ... they won't fold. It's a game of breaks though ... you never know.

Four people have bet one million dollars so far, but I don't know which team.

I have no favorite team I hope it will be great final.

(Of course I hope, if some of my subsim friends have a favorite in the final, their team may win)

Go Browns!

That was a great game all around, glad I streamed it, and I'm glad they made it somewhat easy to stream.

Exciting finish, well played all around.

Glad the Eagles won too.

Can't say I'm a fan but I did enjoy the game.

This Super Bowl in now in the history books. Just like the fictitious underdog Character Rocky Balboa, native son of Philadelphia, The underdog Eagles now stand at the pinnacle of their sport. The Eagles overcame devastating injuries to not only get to the biggest dance of the year but also win it. Having seen a few Eagles games this season, I thought they had a great chance of winning. I'm happy for the Eagles and their fans that they have now won their first Superbowl. It may well be the first of many. The Eagles, just Like Rocky, looked hungry where the Patriots looked like they sleep walking through most of the first half. I was pleased to see this game wasn't over officiated as some i have seen this year.

Quote: The Eagles were an underdog in Super Bowl LII as the NFC squad, led by an untested coach with only two years at the reins and a backup quarterback, 29-year-old Nick Foles, who had never won a playoff game before this season. New England, at most betting outlets, was favored to win by 4.5 points.

Foles was thrust into the starting role after MVP contender Carson Wentz was lost for the season when he suffered a torn ACL and LCL in a week 14 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

On Sunday, Foles was a marksman, completing 28 of 43 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns. He also became the first QB in Super Bowl history to also catch a touchdown pass, en route to becoming the game's MVP.

Tom Brady for his part had an astounding 505 yards passing.
With a history of cheating with regards to Spygate and Deflategate, I've never been a fan of the Patriots. Speaking about Tom Brady and deflated balls, I'm sure there are many deflated balls in Brady land including his. :haha:

I wouldn't feel too bad for the Patriots though. The Patriots have appeared in the Super Bowl ten times in franchise history, the most of any team, eight of them since the arrival of head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady in 2000 and won five of them.

The legacy of the patriots was cemented long ago and Tom Brady / Bill Belichick and others from their team will no doubt be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame one day. The combination of Belichick and Brady are the most prolific to date and will be difficult to equal and their history is still being written.

Making it to the Superbowl is an accomplishment in and of itself
so congratulations to the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles on a great season and exciting and well played Superbowl game.

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles and their fans on a great Superbowl win.

Doesn't count. :hmph:

The fourth down trick play TS to Nick Foles was an illegal formation, should have been called back...extended WR to the top of the screen is off the ball (needs to be on the line with just the OT on inside him).

Aw, you're just piqued because when the Patriots tried a similar play earlier, it was an epic fail ("Butterfingers Brady" :haha:). The Eagles, with a backup QB leading the team really showed the Pats how its done...

First of all
I thought it was a great Super Bowl.

Secondly
There is a saying
You shall never change a wining concept

The problem with this concept is that an opponent or their head coach are studying this to find an "antidote" (couldn't remember the word I would have used) against this.

Yes I agree ... the Eagles just plain played a better game and out coached New England.

But come on gang 502 yards passing for Tom Brady and they still lost :o

It was our defense that cost us the game. No way should the birds have been able to score 41 points.
