I would have lost thousands and thousands of dollars betting against Avonte Maddox making a big 4th down PBU

Did anyone catch what the song was they ran out of the tunnel to last night?

Did I remember right that we had three penalties on FG/PAT attempts?  I'm sure Jake made all of those and then needed to re-kick five yards further back.  In that case, he was 11/11 and only one was fairly close to missing if my memory serves me.

Yea. They called FS on Lovato twice, which is odd. I'm guessing he was doing something he normally does but this crew wasn't being lenient with it for whatever reason. @FranklinFldEBUpper could probably tell us. There was another FS on a linemen. They called it on Mailata but i didn't see it and they didn't show a replay.

I just wanna say thank you to @VaBeach_Eagle for setting up this board and allowing us all to be able to talk with each other. We might not always agree and get into arguments, but we are always wanting the it’s to win and a place where we can discuss anything. this Super Bowl was awesome and it was amazing to experience ups and downs with everybody on this board for the last six months. Hopefully we can continue doing it for the foreseeable future and have more Super Bowls during that time. Board and blog made this run  more fun and without VA we wouldn’t have that.

The EMB (the old EMB), had been such a big part of my daily online life since around 2000 or 2001 that when Dave made the announcement that they were shutting it down, I hadn't even finished his statement when I had already begun planning what would need to be done to move/save the board for whoever wanted it saved. No way was I going to just let it fade away with a whimper without even trying to do something about it. 

It's for moments like last night (and really, every gameday, every training camp, every draft, every CVON argument) that I (and many others here), wanted to save what could be saved.

So after last night's victory, I want to announce now that I'm hiring someone to make the board even better, his name is Edwin ... err... never mind.

If anyone that went to the game or had a Super Bowl party (or whatever) has video that you'd like to donate to the board's YouTube channel and you're ok with giving the board copyright permission to use it, I'll be happy to upload it (as long as there isn't any NFL or other copyrighted material in there). That could help the boards channel get monetized and help keep funding going to keep the board online, it costs between $2,000 and $2,500 per year (right this moment, we have somewhere around $800 to $1,000 in the boards checking account).

should have been this - 

 

Probably Maddox's last game as an Eagle and honestly, a chance it was his last in the NFL too. Nobody wanted him in free agency, he signed here dirt cheap, and stunk until that one play last night. Not sure there will be a market for him. He was a good player for a while, glad he got a ring.

I'm out of likes for the day. @VaBeach_Eagle why do we have a limit on likes anyway? Raise the limit! 

Each like costs me $10, so I guess I won't eat this month  

I'll look and see if it can be raised, or if there's a reason not to raise it.

22 year old rookie, playing in the biggest game of your career, getting a pick-6 to put your team up 3 scores and on your way to a ring. What a rush that must've been.

I still feel like last night was some type of acid induced fever dream. I cannot believe the dismantling that took place. It wasn't even just an ass whooping, every. single. Eagle. showed up. Dotson, Maddox, Elliott, Hunt, Sweat, Davis. EVERYONE played phenomenal. 

I think there is a legitimate argument that the least effective player on the field was Rick Lovato. 

Yes, his 5 yard penalties were Siposs-like. 😁

The bottom line is he got busted, served his time, and has been clean since. He’s been the best RT in football for a decade. 

We’re going to have three different OL in Canton. What a job by Stout. 

I never was under the impression that Johnson was taking PED's the way Bonds was to clearly cheat the system. I could be wrong but it seemed more like he just was being careless and getting caught for some supplement that was on the banned list. 

Running QBs can't win Super Bowls... until they do.

Running QBs can't break all-time records... until they do.

I'm gonna miss Sweat. Developed into a really good player and he overcame A LOT to make it there. Guy deserves a big payday. Hope he retires and Eagle though

I think I'm still ready to move on from him just because I can't fathom them being able to sign other young stars when they're up against the cap.  He has been inconsistent for very long stretches of time throughout every season he has played, but holy moly...........he played with a purpose last night and dominated from start to finish.

Lane knowingly took PEDs, but not even close to the level of Bonds. It wasn't some accidental supplment type of situation (they almost never are.)  He was even so dumb as to make a reference about "getting gear" from someone in a tweet before deleting it.

Am I the only one that saw him make that PBU and yelled, "Why the F is he on the field right now," even though it was the best play of his career and essentially sealed the deal?

At the bottom of the board, the red icon leads to it. I haven't really done much with it, but it exists. 

Can’t imagine how Roseman feels seeing how his past five drafts culminated into a Super Bowl win starting with taking Hurts in 2020, DeVonta, Landon, and Milton in 2021, Davis, Jurgens, and Dean in 2022, Carter and Smith in 2023, and then Quinyon and DeJean this past year. Just a diabolical streak that finished with one of the best runs of all time. 

Fans went overboard as expected

Same with Dotson (almost) scoring the first TD

He definitely was moving his shoulders enough to get them to jump. The one overhead shot you could see it.

Have this weird feeling Bryce Huff has a great offseason and goes back to being in his Jets role and Fangio can find a a useful role for him. With pressure off and a chip in his shoulder and fighting for his career it could still work out. Too early to cut bait. Especially with his injury. Now I'm all for trading him, but he's at his lowest value at this point. He could turn it around. Look at one one happened in one offseason with Nolan Smith turnaround and he was playing hurt last year as well. He did it with the Jets. He can do it again. He's young. Still a glimmer here...

I am not sure whether Huff just got outplayed or did something to end up in Fangio's doghouse.  I don't think they will move on from him but he's going to have to compete.  The reality is that Hunt played because he performed and so did Smith and Sweat.  Huff did not produce on the field.  He could not get a pressure. He would get washed out on run plays.  He played his way out of opportunities.  He was playing close to 50% of the snaps at the beginning of the year.  His snap count went down because of he was not good.  

I am not sure if Fangio thinks the problem was a lack of focus/effort and poor habits vs. just being beat out by other players.

My buddy had Dotson first TD and think it was 85/1
