Doug Pederson should have been coach of the year
Just outstanding coaching all year and into the playoffs. Talented team. If the Philly fans weren't such incredible thugs and complete a-holes, I'd be a little happier for their success.
I expect the Eagles to be a perennial playoff team and NFC power for the foreseeable future.

Totally agree Sticky. He out Belichicked Belichick and made Zimmer into his boy toy.
I read a great article on the trick play & how balsy not only the call, but the timing of it
& how there philosophy of not playing conservative when ahead
how that will get you around an 8-8 record every year
that staff really did their homework
I agree w/ the coaching Sticky, however the Eagles are last( or close to it) in salary cap space, they will be forced to make moves. I believe they’ll be over the cap threshold w/ just their current contacts, not to mention the amount needed for free agency & the draft...
The Eagles lost their MVP QB in Wentz and then their starting LT at mid-season. Its not like they didn't have their share of adversity. They deserve to hoist the trophy.

Pederson was bold and pulled out all the stops except for a portion of 3rd Qtr. i think zim is good in game but i cant remember Zim ever calling a trick play

Yup, he should have been...I haven't seen play-calling head and shoulders above the competition like that in the NFL for quite some time.
Now regarding perennial playoff team? Probably, but as soon as I start believing that in a franchise they F it up or the football gods smite them with injury. They got a lot of salary cap headwind to navigate. I wish them awful luck next year to be honest about it lol!
