I figured it would be the 2 home teams "winners"
in the conference championship games...
I don't have a dog in this fight, wink wink
As much as I hate to say it "Congrats to the Pats"
for going to their seventh SB, they pulled off another miracle
{with a little refs help
, hard to beet 17 men with 11}
Congrats to the Eagles going to their 3rd SB
I hope they can play like they played against the Vikings
I thought the Vikings were gonna give them fits
Maybe the Eagles will play like that when they go against the Pats
Pats are vulnerable, rile & get to Brady, sack him a few times
he's getting old & seems he gets flustered/pissed &/or get them behind
& then don't just go conservative, keep your foot on their collective throats...
Teams fail to do that...
It seems Billacheat & Tom Brady score at will end of the 1st 1/2 with some help
& in the 2nd 1/2's or when the refs want them too
I hate to route for the National Conference team in a SB
I'm a American Conference guy all the way, except when NE is playing,
but I will be a Eagles & a National Conference fan this year...
BUT;
If I was a betting man, which I'm not
I would double down on the Pats thou...

It's bad when a wrong action by an paid off official might have changed the outcome of a championship game, Pats vs Jags.
Here is an article I just read that explains......
An ill-timed whistle likely robbed the Jaguars from a trip to the Super Bowl
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nf...uars-from-a-trip-to-the-super-bowl/ar-AAuZiil
Early in the fourth quarter, the Patriots broke out a trick play with a pass back to Danny Amendola who proceeded to find Dion Lewis for what would have been a first down. Jack jumped in to strip the ball from Lewis and rose to his feet ready to run the ball the other way.
Jack had no Patriots ahead of him who could have made a play against one of the league's speediest linebackers. Yet, the play was called dead.
It shouldn't have been.
Jack was not touched after he gained full control of the ball and was justifiably furious when the official blew his whistle. He had a touchdown and would have extended the Jaguars' lead to 27-10 in the fourth quarter. The play was ruled a fumble on the field, so the official either inadvertently blew the whistle or incorrectly ruled Jack down by contact.
Once a play is ruled down by contact, the subsequent return can't be reviewed.
In that moment, the play should have been allowed to continue and reviewed after the score.

Super Bowl LII: Twitter Map Shows Nearly Every State Is Rooting for Eagles Over the Patriots
Only the New England states, and randomly North Dakota, want Tom Brady and co. to get a sixth Super Bowl ring
It seems that if you aren’t a New England Patriots fan then you are passionately rooting against them — no matter who they’re playing!
In the wake of Sunday’s AFC and NFC Championship games which saw the New England Patriots win a spot in their second consecutive Super Bowl (and third in four years) after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Philadelphia Eagles triumphant over the Minnesota Vikings — the Twitterverse was not divided over who it was rooting for.
A virtual map based on geotagged Twitter data immediately after Sunday’s games shows that the entire U.S is hoping for an Eagles upset over Tom Brady and company — aside from the New England states (Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire), and bizarrely, North Dakota.
Even Vermont, which is only 233 miles from the Patriots’ Gillette Stadium, is going green.
The data was compiled and mapped by the NFL guys over at betonline.ag, using software with direct access to geotagged twitted data. It is based on fan hashtags and phrases like #flyeaglesfly, #goeagles, #gopats, #gopatriots, etc.
The Patriots are currently favored by five points over the Eagles in Vegas, but according to SportsLine’s Micah Roberts, the line should continue to move toward the underdog Eagles over the coming days.
The last time the Patriots went to back-to-back Super Bowls was after the 2004 season — when they faced none other than the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Pats went on to win in a 24-21 nail-biter, which will give Philadelphia fans added incentive to quash 40-year-old Brady’s dreams of a sixth Super Bowl ring.
Super Bowl LII airs live on NBC at 6:30 p.m. ET from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Guess your Steelers will be off for the rest of the year huh?
And who beat you guys again?
The won that won the MOST Super Bowls cheating their way there is the Patriots if not I am sure they are up there. By the way you sound like Hilliary Clinton "What happened" we All know what happened as fines and suspensions were levied.... Not a Steelers Fan and by the way BUT...
Times were different when Terry B was winning, no free agency, talent locked in. Just I'd put that out.
