The NFL can take their awards and shove it. Pederson is Coach of the Year. He only got one vote. Take that!
No, I actually held it together with the help of my wonderful husband. He kept me grounded. I did call my 80 year old FIL (life long Eagles fan) to celebrate!
I don't want to get ahead of myself but maybe, just maybe, this Eagles team has the makings of something special? I'm talking long term sustained excellence. For Pederson to get the kind of production and success out of two QB's like he did this year is really amazing. With one being a second year player and the other a journey man QB. This seems similar to the success the Patriots have had over the years in their system. If I am Buffalo and I am sitting their with the 21st and 22nd overall picks in the draft I would have to really consider calling Philadelphia and seeing if I could trade one of those picks for Foles.
Super happy for Brent Celek, Brandon Graham, Duce Staley... any of the long timers that are on the staff. Laurie and Roseman as well.
I remember posting soon after Pederson started and he was getting grief, to give him time to grow and see what happens. I did not expect this. I love the play calling.
We have won different ways all year... sometimes defense, today offense... on occasion special teams. We have been the best all year, and we certified it tonight.
Mike Lombardi... He's another one to eat his words about Pederson

I'm not sure Foles would want to leave. That's why I asked the question about that a couple of weeks ago. He has already been around the block and it got him nowhere - and he was ready to retire. He is making plenty of money now and is in a place where he is successful with a coach and system that works for him. Why change that from Foles perspective?
and nick foles played one heck of a game. i knew that foles would do well by the eagles, but i wasnt sure he could get the team to the super bowl.
I agree about Foles....I also said he would still play well enough for Eagles. The stage wasn't too big for him and his attitude was great....said he didn't have to be superman and gave props to his teammates. Eagles also have a hell of a coach. Missing Wentz, Sproles, Hicks,etc. and still get to SB and win. Hopefully this gives Jerry and Garrett some pressure.

It won't necessarily be up to Foles though. It's up to the GM of the Eagles. If multiple teams come calling offering multiple draft picks you have to do what is best for the team long term.

With Wentz being a mobile QB, the best thing is to have Foles where he is. That's why they paid so much for him.
If Foles is happy, I wouldn't change a thing. We are where we are because of bringing Foles in.
