Despite their records, the Eagles last night was a championship teams. Do we have a agreement? They played well offensively, their quarterback stood up to pressure, threw well and connected three times in the end zone. Westbrook ran like Forest Gump. Defensively, they put a lot of pressure on Brady, sacked him three times, and were on the elite WRs of NE like white on rice. They scored 28 points, which is very good for any teams.
On the other side of the spectrum, we have a team that seems to just didn't have the shits together. A team that performed like second rate nobody. Dropped balls, failed third down conversions, failed goal line attempts, left holes wide open, stupid penalties, etc... Yet, they won.
Which is a better team? Honestly ask yourself that.
When you're the best, everybody expects you to always be the best and if you even fall a bit short of expectation, you're criticized. Even with all their faults, they still manage to win over a team that put all their hearts and mind into that game. To me, that's the spirit of a champion.

What you say has some truth, but I think it's not so much that they still managed to win as much as a ridiculous and completely uneccesary playcall of going deep late in the game when the Eagles were driving down the field just fine and running the clock out towards what could've been a great win. The call to chuck it up in the endzone there was beyond stupid, I couldn't believe it myself. That's why they won the game. They were LUCKY to win it IMO, it's not like they outlasted the Eagles or were the better team on the field. JMO.

Actually, it was a gutsy call, because they WANTED to win it big. I think it was more of a personal call on A.J. because if he connected, his name will go into history books and children will sing songs about him for years.
But, it didn't.
Admittedly, the Pats didn't look good on the field last night, but they played. Not well, but enough to win and that's what mattered.

Your post was amusing but hardly factual. Just another fanboi perspective, of course I wouldn't expect anything more from you than that. Why are you trying to rationalize a WIN and asking for supportive consensus? Did that game actually rattle your fragile ego that badly lol, get a grip bro you have nothing to do with "your" team.
Philli is not a championship team. As well as their offense played, their offensive mistakes cost them that game. I did not see them all over Welker, or does he not count as one of the elite NE WR? I did not see anything to suggest NE did not have their "shit together". I saw another team disrupting what they wanted to accomplish, as did most unbiased observers.

What in my post wasn't factual? The win or the bad plays or the Eagles impressive game?
Phillies is not a championship team? They played like they were, and that was my point. Also, they were in the Superbowl against the Pats just two years ago, I hope you remember that. They were all over Welker as well, but he's fast. Maybe you and I were seeing two different games, but everybody know that the Pats didn't play their best yesterday, to mildly put.
Yes, I'm a "fanboi", and unbiased is anything but you. If anybody remotely mention Patriots, you'll be there to bash them, drop the ruse.

It was a crap call plain and simple. Win it big? A win by a point would've been a big win over the Pats this season. He'd still go in the books.
You do NOT give Tom Brady the football in the fourth quarter with you only up by 4 with 4 minutes to go. You just don't do it. I don't care how well your team has been playing up until this point. He is Mr. Clutch.
On top of that, AJ was hitting everything at and around the 1st down marker. Run the ball at least once per set of downs, kill some time off the clock, and get it in the end zone for a TD. Hopefully you give them the ball back with 1:30 or around there to spare.
I like my chances against Brady with 1:30 to go much better than Brady with 4:00 to go.

Secondly, you have no comprehension of what I said regarding "hearts and minds" in association with championship caliber.
Thirdly, I don't have the time nor care to go search for the numerous threads and posts that you dissed the Patriots. It's moot because anybody has ever read your posts know.
I'm out.
(hearts and minds of a champion anyone, doh)I think they showed great resiliency as opposed to a loss of confidence.
I think the team is far too poised to let it go to their head; however you have to understand the enthusiam of their fans.
Alistar7 - Great teams impose their will when executing a game plan. That is what's most impressive about NE, not the stats or their record, the way they impose their will.
