If you had asked me what Foles' ypa in this game was right after it ended I probably would've guessed in the 5s. Was really surprised to see that he ended 23/30 for 246, 8.2 ypa.
yeah I agree. looks this sucks bc w/ Wentz PHI was a solid favorite to reach the SB.
the flip side is PHI is still very live to reach the SB and depending who they face there could still be very live.
what would the line be for MIN @ PHI? MIN -3? I'm just guessing here but maybe something like that. obviously a big downgrade from Wentz but still very live enough that the season is not ruined
Win or lose today, I hate that if we're in the NFCCG next year with Wentz, it almost certainly will be less exciting than today because it feels like we're free-rolling today. Only way I see that not being the case next year is if we win the Super Bowl this year, so that any playoff success we have next year is simply gravy (a slightly different freeroll feeling).
So, enjoy it today everyone. It's been a while. Take it all in and enjoy embracing the feels; I know I will.
I went to bed at 7pm and got up at 10pm, packed, watched the game at 12:40 am, and then got off and got to the airport at 6am. It's now 9:30am and I'll be at the client's soon. I'tired af, but this is the best day since a while. I wish I was in Philly, but man, does this team make me me proud. I am constantly smiling, with the occasional tear shed watching post game videos. Still can't believe we're going.
congrats. going the the sb without your best player is pretty ****ing sick. hope foles plays as well against the gaytriots as he did against the vikes.
