Brett Favre is close friends with Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson and he wouldn't be surprised if this season ends with his friend raising the Lombardi Trophy for the second year in a row. Favre admits he wasn't always confident this season in the Eagles and after their 4-6 start, he thought the team was dead.
“Doug Pederson is a very close friend of mine and there were several stretches throughout this year where he did not return any messages to me. Understandably so, it was a trying time for him,” Favre said in an interview on Sirius XM NFL Radio. “I'm with you. After that Saints game, I mean they just got absolutely destroyed. And what I'd saw was a team who really threw in the towel, had nothing left in the tank and who'd really had gone south.
After the Eagles beat up on the Rams that's when Favre started to really believe again and he knows that no one is going to want to face this team in the playoffs.
“Like most, if I were a betting man…I would have put money that they were done. But when I watched that Rams game, I said ‘Boy if they get in, look out, cause no one is going to want to play them.'”
The Eagles got some help from the Bears in Week 17, beating the Minnesota Vikings which allowed them to make the playoffs and now they are going to try to knock them out.
If the Eagles can pull off the upset, there is no doubt going to be some more believers wondering if this is going to be another special year for the city of Brotherly Love.
