2 SB in 3 years, closest thing to a dynasty youre going to find in the era of free agency!

Well Simms jinxed em. Probably the peak theyll reach

Time for a 2 hour nap. Hope I can make it on time to see Andy Reid School of Clock Management

I miss the 2004 dillon. How about we get Peterson as next year's version of Dillon for the 3 in 4 years?

Holy cow, that's basically 4 Patriots takeaways in the first quarter (one called back because McNabb's knee barely grazed the ground before the fumble, another called back by penalty)

Wow this 2003-4 D was so stacked. And so little turnover.

And loshjott great minds!
I caught a bit of the Carolina SB earlier, and had to chuckle when Bruschi had to leave the game and he was replaced by Ted Johnson.

XXXIX may not have been a classic from an entertainment perspective, but those are two ridiculously good teams playing very well.

(Of course we haven't gotten to the McNabb puke drive yet.)

NFLN is calling this marathon "football withdrawal weekend" so they show all Patriots Super Bowls. No other fan bases are having withdrawals? OK with me. Maybe it was easier to say "OK, just queue up the Pats Super Bowls."

I'll be taking a break from all this TV watching today after this Pats / Eagles game and just skip over the next two games.

And if indeed this is a Pats fans fest, who in NFLN would think any Pats fan in their right mind would wanna watch the game that shall not be mentioned?

I'm not really a Pats fan and I can't bring myself to watch it.

Collinsworth gets a lot of grief around here but for my money hes a quality announcer. Really does his homework and provides valuable insight.

Also of note - Aikman admits that the Pats winning 2 out of 3 is more impressive than when the cowboys did it in the 90's.

I forgot that play there. On first down, McNabb caught his own pass and the clock should have kept running with a loss of yards but they called it incomplete. That's why Belichick was so mad.

Edit: or not. Nevermind there.

Belichick also visibly chewing out Mangini on the sidelines after the Greg Lewis catch. Don't recall him doing much of that lately with his staff.
