4th and goal at the 3.

This for next week!

Incomplete! Eagles will win.

In the other game, the Pats chose to beat the Titans 35:14. Remarkably, the Titans led early. The Pats and the Eagles will host the respective Championship games next week

And the Vikes beat the Saints on a literally last-second touchdown. Thrilling stuff. So, the NFC Championship game will be Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles and the AFC will be Jacksonville Jaguars at New England Patriots. Both games will be playend next Monday, AEDST.

Was the hit a premeditated dirty act?
The refereeing has generated some rumblings. Thoughts?

Like the ball, one should be pumped up but instead is left feeling a bit deflated.

It's the eve of the Superbowl, so it's been the day for the awards.

Here's the Hall of Fame outcome for 2018: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2231 ... n-urlacher

And Old Tom has been named MVP again, earning 40 of the available votes (that is, one vote for every year of his age): http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2231 ... mvp-honors

And the most important news to emerge is about the Great One addressing the Eagles in advance of the game (Doug Pederson, the Eagles' coach, is an old mate of his): http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2231 ... super-bowl

Surely the Eagles, having touched the hem of No 4's cloak, can't possibly lose?

Has Gronkowski recovered enough to play?

To what extent do you think the game (in general, but also this one specifically) will or can be determined by just one or two players on each side (e.g. QB)?

As I stated previously, I'm feeling rather conflicted about Old Tom, the coach, and the team.

Yes Gronk is playing just caught his 2nd TD with 9 minutes to go in last term to give the Pats the lead for the first time in the game.
Already over 1000 yards of offence in the game thus far.
Brady just looks to be doing as he pleases now

And then it all changed...

I think Tom & coach pushed it too far and crossed the line in the past.
Hence my conflicted feelings.

And, in other news, Tom has been embroiled in Kissgate.
And Gronkowski is considering retirement and Hollywood.

Thoughts?
