Jags got lucky as fukk that Gronk went down. It was obvious that he was getting ready to unleash after making a couple big catches and then destroying Jax over the middle on that helmet to helmet. This game would have been a shit show in the second half. Pats had to grind out points against the best D, and they found a way. Now...Gronk healthy for the superbowl? How many superbowls has Gronk even played in that he's gotten a ring for? Guy is always out of the post season. He is going to SHRED the Eagles, and I mean shred. 100 yards and 2 tds. People will just overlook this. That's when you know those guys have never played real competitive sports in their lives and don't think like an athlete. Mark my words on this, Gronk will be the difference in the superbowl.
Pats receivers are way too shifty for this Eagles secondary. Won't even be a good game. Don't forget that Bortles looked good for a few games this post season too, and even looked good for the 1st half against the Pats. Then what happened? A predictable meltdown, Gronk or no Gronk. I told you the Pats secondary will dominate the Jags passing attack and that's what happened. Bottle up Fournette and you can't do shit aside from some gimmick play action short passing game. Didn't work the entire second half.
Foles doesn't succeed with checkdowns. He likes to take risks. When you throw the ball up far in the air against Gilmore, Butler, Mccourtney, CHung, bad things happen if you're not accurate. Foles is not accurate. Minny was exhausted from partying all week. They were just happy to beat the Saints. They are a young inexperienced unfocused team. Eagles have more dogs on their team.
Gamplan will be the same.
Force Foles to throw. Shutdown Ajayi.
You think that Malcomb Butler or Gilmore can't guard Jeffery? Easy. 1 on 1 all day. Try it. Jeffery isn't that good. Everyone will judge him off this game and over react. Aghular will get some b/c pats give up those short slants, but no one else will do much. Ajayi will get some. Foles will make the mistakes. Watch.
And this Eagles team has no chance of stopping new england. No chance. Once they realize they can't do anything about Gronk, their defense will collapse. They will be giving up chunk plays all game. Watch.
$770 on the Pats -6 to win it.
