No idea why they went for 2 at 15 points, almost came back to bite them. But if that's what got them to call the plays the way they did (throwing caution to the wind) then so be it.

I am very satisfied. With the gameplay and the outcome. 

On the surface they obviously were trying to get back the missed extra point (the kicking woes seemed to be related to the Super Bowl logo that was dead center on the field as opposed to offset like the AFC Playoff logos were).

I can see both sides of it. I'd probably just take the PAT (higher percentage play earlier in the game), but I don't know if what Pederson did was totally wrong.

The only problem I had with his play calling was two series in a row in the 2nd half he called third down plays which were throws behind the line of scrimmage and expected to beat the speed of the Patriot's defense to the line to gain.  Those were nearly disastrous.  Other than that, I loved his go-for-it mentality.

I'm thinking you will see the 4th down play (pass to QB)  in a lot more playbooks next year, college and pro.  That was awesome execution, and the Pats were totally caught with their pants down.

The attention to detail was immaculate.  With Foles moving toward the line of scrimmage, he had to come to a set position for a full one second before the snap, otherwise it would be an illegal shift.  He did that, precisely.  As you said, no one could believe what they saw.  Beautiful to watch.

No need to go chasing lost points so early in the game. It came with 9 minutes left in the second quarter and like I said, nearly came back to haunt them at the end. They attempted two more xp and 2 fg so clearly it's not like they didnt want to trust their kicker anymore.

Anyway, great game. Great finish. Still loving the result even if Eagles fans aren't the most lovable bunch.

Nick Foles.

Will Cleveland trade a pick for him?  He's 29 and pretty good.

LOL!

Yes, the Colts confirmed it. 

Not the banner part.

I'll believe it when I see it with the Browns since they've been bad for so long.

And the Colts are starting to worry me. Using high picks to acquire more draft capital....actually trying to protect Luck, adding sensible low cost pieces, loaded with Cap space yet not "making a splash" as soon as free agency starts. Uh oh.
I miss Grigson!

The Colts were better last year than I expected. But they were still a team that was a Rashad Greene fumble away from almost getting swept by the Jags.

And they have yet to make a significant move this off-season.

I also miss Master Strategist Chuck Pagano, the one coach who could lose a battle of wits to Gus Bradley.

^ Even funnier was the completely bonkers cross-field pass during a punt return in the Colts-49ers 2017 game.

And the 6,000 occasions that the Jaguars split Marcedes Lewis out wide near the goal line and Pagano would have a 5'10" guy single covering him.

I love the Titans run. Glad to see a local kid and former Dolphin QB lead the way.
