Awesome SB, Go Eagles !!!!!
Good job eagles you saved NFL for me was done watching NFL if Pats had one. Overrated Brady should only have 1 year left.
The way they were pressuring Brady all night, I knew a turnover was only a matter of time.
It would've been cool to see Brady make history, but I can't complain about a team winning its first Super Bowl. I'd congratulate Philadelphia but I assume it already looks like The Walking Dead over there.
I am sorry, but your bitterness is showing. If the NFL were so hardcore in the Pats pocket, then why did the 2 biggest calls of the game go to the Eagles?
Seriously, people need to stop with this crap.

The one call the catch and TD was the right call not even sure why they had to review that one in the first place. It was clearly a catch so then once the ball came out it didn't matter at all has the ball had clearly brook the plain. The other call looked like a miss call but I was shocked has you like never see calls go agest the Pats.
Personally, the Clement TD I felt was incomplete and the Ertz TD was a TD. But, my point being, the fact both these calls went the Eagles way when there was justification for the Pats to get them shows that this narrative that the NFL has a bias towards the Pats is garbage.
This is not me saying the Pats got robbed or anything. Eagles won fair and square and I am not mad at all the Pats lost the game, though I wanted them to win. My whole point is the bias people like you have toward the Patriots blinds you from anything else. There is no fix or anything. If such a thing existed, the Pats would not have lost 3 Super Bowls, especially the 16-0 one that I am sure the NFL was wishing happened. Leagues like benchmarks being challenged/broken.
The refs usually let the both teams play, unless it's easy/blatant.
The NFL league office is in NY. Them making calls that favored the Patriots would've caused a huge uproar, because of what happened with Steelers vs. Patriots ending earlier in the year.
Ertz's TD was an easy call (3 steps plus extension of the ball & ground caused the fumble).
Clement's TD was correct (2 feet in bounds, maintained possession, call stands).
When he had control of the ball, only one foot was in bounds.
I thought it was weird no attention was brought to a missed pass interference call that would've helped the eagles score near the end of the game.
The eagle player was clearly pushed before the ball reached him and the Pats defensive player never turned around.
I kind of think that having the Eagles win is good for the sport. With ratings down and even the Superbowl down, maybe ratings will go up next year because of some semblance of parity.
