Has anyone noticed that this year is a mirror image of the superbowl year? 13-3 with losses to TB, Dal and Car.

Wow. What are the chances of that happening....

Has anyone noticed that this year is a mirror image of the superbowl year? 13-3 with losses to TB, Dal and Car.

I also noticed they lost those 3 games consecutively to end the season in 09. I realize that home field was probably established by then but still....

The order of finish in the NFC south was also the same om 09 and 18.

Except they won't have to beat three Hall of Famers along the way like they did last time (Favre, Warner, and Manning).

Foles, you should know, has a Mississippi connection. His father, Larry Foles, grew up in Petal, and if you think Nick Foles is a rags-to-riches story, his daddy’s is even better. Larry Foles, an outstanding young athlete, came from a broken home and never graduated from high school. He went to work as a dishwasher at Shoney’s in Hattiesburg and learned the restaurant business from the bottom up. He eventually moved to Jackson where he operated restaurants, and then to Baton Rouge, Dallas and Austin, where he opened his own restaurants. He is a self-made millionaire, several times over.

Taysom Hill has family from Mississippi, too. His grandpa-in-law went to State as a matter of fact. I think he played ball here, if memory serves.

Random fact of the day, I know.
