I didn't watch any of the regular season (I don't have TV and really didn't care) but I've watched every playoff game. The oddest thing I noticed was how the announcers kept greeting every Nick Foles play with,"Well, maybe THAT one was brilliant, but the next one won't be". They kept saying this over and over again, even as he was handing Minnesota's vaunted defense their jockstraps.
I predict that they will be saying the same thing throughout the first half of this game, as Philly surprises the Pats D, and takes a 13 point lead into the half.
The Pats will adjust, as they always do, but instead of pursuing the "let's run up the middle and get stuffed" game plan of the second-half Jaguars, Philly will keep pouring it on, eventually outlasting the inevitable Patriots 4th quarter heroics.
Final score, 27-24, Philadelphia.
Or not.
