Eagles ran a fake walkthrough to fool Patriots

In May of 2008, the Boston Herald apologized for "falsely reporting" the taping of the Rams' practice, but by then, many people were already wary of the Patriots and how they do their business. 

Well, the Philadelphia Eagles apparently didn't want to take the chance of history repeating itself so they ran a completely FAKE walkthrough in the days leading up to Super Bowl 52. There were a number of different plays that the Eagles practiced that weren't even used in the game. 

Even the "Philly Special" play where Nick Foles caught a touchdown on 4th down wasn't even practiced during the week. It was worked on two weeks prior, and not brought to Minnesota just in case "someone" would be watching.

Yeah...That's hilarious.

This doesn't surprise me at all.  I am not sure how or where the Patriots get the opportunity to watch and take note on what other teams are preparing but I do believe they do it.

I also believe that Goodell allows this to happen.  

I will take to my grave that the NFL destroyed the tapes that were turned over to them because it showed clear evidence that NE cheated on their first 3 super bowls including against us in 2004.

I hate to even start this debate but can I ask what rules the Pats supposedly broke in their first 3 SBs to be considered cheating? I am not doubting they knew signals, had video tapes, etc. but I have yet to understand what rule they broke. They were just better than the rest of the league at doing something.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
