Agree, it's gonna be Nick's game to win or lose, hopefully the 3rd time is the charm.

Joe Namath was interviewed by Don Imus a few days ago and he said that he thought that it will be very hard for Foles to duplicate his great performance against the Vikings in this upcoming game. Just one mans opinion of course....but he felt what many feel and that is that there is no substitute for experience.
Yes, youth will be served but when? The Philly corners are very young....23 and 24 years old...hmmm.
Joe along with that Jets Buddy Ryan defense pulled off a shocker in their time...is it really almost 50 years ago that they upset the Baltimore Colts? Wowee, how times flies.

Bubba Smith a D lineman for the Colts in his book 'Kill Bubba Kill' brought up this very subject.:
The New York Jets of the American Football League (AFL) entered Super Bowl III as 18.5-point underdogs to the Baltimore Colts of the NFL only to win the 1969 championship game, 16-7, in arguably the biggest upset in Super Bowl history. Odds makers were wrong by 27.5 points and didn't pick the right winner.
Years later, Colts star defensive lineman Bubba Smith claimed in his 1983 autobiography, "Kill, Bubba, Kill," that the game may have been fixed to aid the merger of the AFL with the NFL.
Smith, a two-time Pro Bowler who died in 2011, claimed that he initially brushed off the idea that the game was fixed. But years later, he said in interviews that he was told of the game being fixed by "a bookmaker in New York and members of the NFL Players Association." Smith also said that the game didn't sit right with him afterwards and was baffled by how the Colts had the ball inside the Jets' 20-yard line five times in the first half but failed to score.
"The game just seemed odd to me," Smith said in the book, "The Fix Is In: The Showbiz Manipulations of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NASCAR," by Brian Tuohy. "Everything was out of place. I tried to rationalize that our coach, Don Shula, got out-coached, but that wasn't the case. I don't know if any of my teammates were in on the fix."
