I go on YouTube to watch NFL Primetime’s analysis of the SB and Steve Young said it best. He said Pederson put the game in Foles’ hands and said, “You go win the game”. Just the absolute throws he was making in that game!! I’m pretty sure that the confidence gained from letting him go downfield in the NFCCG was a big confidence booster. Which brings me to my next point which is also impressive—three times since Pederson has been the HC, has a team strolled into the Linc with the NFL’s No.1 defense and 3 times they’ve left with their head between their tails—‘16–Eagles 21 Vikings 10; ‘17–Eagles 51 Broncos 23, Eagles 38 Vikings 7. They’re 7-2 under Pederson against the head coaches who are (were) considered brilliant defensive coaches—2-0 vs Quinn, Zimmer, Fox, 1-0 vs Belicheck and 0-2 vs Pete Carroll.

i'm surprised brady had a higher rating than foles. even though brady torched us, i truly believe that foles played a better game. QBR and PFF ratings are still flawed, but better than passer rating imo. and foles was better than brady by both metrics.
both of those metrics factor in tipped INTs, and strip sacks. no word on if they factor in QB catches/drops.

I may try to orchestrate something with us meeting up for part of the trip. Let me know if you would be interested.--------

Loved how he kept the foot on the gas pedal in the Vikings game especially...

No question the Eagles can make a playoff run with either. Unfortunately, they will have to make a decision within a year. Unless Foles is cool with being a backup. Wentz won't be.
Foles is an odd one. He might be satisfied backing up Wentz longterm since he already has plenty of money and a ring. He's in a comfortable spot.Blue Chip College Football - Coach Your College to the National Championship

RODGERS IS 34, IN DECEMBER HE'S 35, WENTZ IS 25. NO WAY I SWAP.
NOW, RODGERS BETTER THAN FOLES, FULL BODY OF WORK, SURE, BUT FOLES IS OUR S.B. MVP.
BUT I WAS SAYING STARTING QB AND BACK UP QB COMBO. WHAT OTHER TEAM HAS A BETTER COMBO? WHICH IS WHAT I WAS THINKING HE WAS TALKING ABOUT."LIFE IS FULL OF 4TH AND 1 DECISIONS, CHOOSE YOUR NEXT CROSSROADS WISELY.

Fooles gold

The thought in my head is that I'm looking at fucking legend standing next to the guy who's still the top dog ... but Foles is no longer just the backup guy standing there."I could buy you." - The Village Idiot

Foles had a passer rating of 106 (Brady had a rating of 115 but I don't believe strip sacks don't hurt your passer rating). Also, I will note that I don't believe the interception charged to Foles was his fault.
Kind of the Favre thing.“I am going to literally sodomize you on the field of battle. I am going to have non-consensual sex with your face and your butt. Then I’m going after your wife and kid”
