Our second half defense did just enough to help us win. And even if they got the ball back late in the game we would’ve shut that down too. Spags was instrumental to winning the first Super Bowl. We don’t get to the Super Bowl if not for our Defense dominating burrow. It wasn’t pretty but spags got the job done.

I heard a thought exercise years ago and it was "What would the value of a guy who
guarantees 1 yard, no more and no less, every time you give him the ball.
That's it - he gets one yard and then is done every single time. What value would you put on that guy?
My position was that I'd give a 1st rounder for that guy without blinking and I think last night watching the frustration of KNOWING that the Eagles could get 1 yard anytime they wanted I'm only more convinced.
They can do things on 2nd and 3rd down differently because they know that they'll get that yard if they need it in short yardage situations. I've never seen a team that just spams a concept like that and it ALWAYS works.
G'damn it was frustrating.
