After seeing the Patriots destroy the two best teams in the AFC - Indianapolis and Pittsburgh - there is no way I am picking against them in the Super Bowl. Yoi and Double Yoi! Looks like we got a dynasty and Bill Belichek is the Second Coming of Vince Lombardi!

Plus the fact the NFC is a weak conference.. That is why Philadelphia was the top team this year. In the NFC.

I'm with you. Any team that can do what they did to the Steelers and the Colts, two excellent teams, is not a team I would want to bet against. I'm not terribly familiar with the Eagles and how they play but from what I saw yesterday, they will have to step it up more than a couple of notches to even compete at the same level as the Pats. That being said, anything can happen and frequently does but I really don't see the Pats losing to the Eagles.

Belichik has a system that his players follow to the letter, just as Lombardi did. They are a team in every sense of the word. There are no superstars, only teammates. They expect to win. This atmosphere of winning is created by one and only one person: the coach. So I would have to agree with you that Belichik is a genious.

Go Pats!

I like the comparison between Belichek and Lombardi. Lombardi only lost one post-season game in his career, that of course being to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1960 Championship game.

Same fate for Belichek this time. The Patriots have a great coach, a sound quarterback, and I like the way they play, but everyone loses sometime. This is their time to lose and Eagles time to win.

The Eagles have the best secondary in the NFL and so will be able to blitz Brady and put pressure on him (Jevon Kearse will develop a close personally relationship with young Tom). They have receivers (Pinkston, Lewis, and Westbrook) who will be able to finally test that injured secondary of the Patriots deep. Finally, look for Brian Westbrook to return a punt in the game, probably at a crucial moment for the kill shot.

I could be wrong of course...nahhh

Go Eagles!

ONE.
