When the Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl XLVIII, I thought we were looking at the next great dynasty. They had a VERY young team at the time.

Man, Was I Wrong About the Eagles
There was a reason why I didn’t write a Super Bowl preview for this blog last week. I didn’t think the Philadelphia Eagles had a chance in hell in Super Bowl LII. I thought that QB Nick Foles will turn into the backup pumpkin he was when he realized he was facing the GOAT in…
2018 NFL Preview: Conference Championship
