but we ALL know what is going to happen in the second. I think he purposely plays like **** the first half of games just to make his miraculous comebacks even more astounding. Foles catching that TD pass on the reverse may have sealed the Eagles fate. No one takes the spot-light away from Pope Tom and lives to tell about it...

Wasn't that pretty much the same play the Patriots tried and Brady didn't catch?

I agree. The pats were stopping a valiant effort up the middle by Clemons. Them going for it on 4th down twice after calling a time-out was straight-up ice water in the veins.

Call to go for the TD before the half was ballsy.

Was it really that ballsy tho?

4th and 1 at the goal line against Tom Brady in the super bowl almost seems mandatory to me to go for it.

Collinsworth compared it to the saints onside kick, but to me that was way riskier.

FGs in the red zone don’t beat the Patriots.
