Maybe Dumlin will note what the Eagles are doing to take Gronkowski completely out of the game. Eagles playing very physical.... More physical than the Steelers.
Are you serious. Eagles secondary is getting incinerated. They may be stopping Gronk but their wideouts have been getting ridiculously open, even with the Eagles strong pass rush.
Eagles secondary is much, much weaker than I thought they were
Easy to say now of course but I loved the 4th down call. Teams that kick the FG there to go up 6 are playing right into the Patriots hands. Especially with NE to get the ball first, if you kick it there you may be losing next time you see the ball. Tough to beat that team kicking field goals.
I’ve always thought the long halftime gives the Patriots an extra edge. More time for the best coach to make more adjustments.
Thought about taking some Eagles ML live, but -160 a little too pricey for me at the moment.

Peterson is playing to win. Going for it at the end of the half like that, not many nfl coaches have the nuts to do anything other than kick the fieldgoal there. I hope they keep the pedal down, I just love the way Peterson is approaching this!
Can't deny Gronkowski was on fire the last drive...fact remains he didn't do squat the first half
Eagles would kick the Steelers' butts all over the field...and I'm a Steelers fan.
Pittsburgh did not let New England pass the ball on them like this. The eagles secondary is a joke.
BTW the refs could have easily overturned that Eagle td had they wanted to
I am not rooting for either team. That TD by the Eagles should have been overturned. He bobbled it and then was out of bounds. There should be no complaining up to this point.
Yeah I was expecting to see a little more overcompensation by the books, but it hasn’t happened so far.
Patriots around a -125 favorite right now, probably a little high actually.
They gotta get more creative on defense. Right now, they’re emulating the Steelers: no pass rush, too much space for the Pats’ receivers. And most important - no one stepping-up and making plays.
Philly would be wise to keep running the clock. Take their time. Keep going for it on 4th down if need be.
