10:11 pm
moved. we already set our sights on that next match-up on the field. and they're giving us an ear full here. it's a good time, though, still optimism raining here in mayfair and conservative effort in the district and 8,000 people at last check and crowd continues to straech round. and they have sanitation department trucks and trash trucks on every end of this area. so there's no vehicles of course. they couldn't get through if they tried. but it is locked down party mode here. >> i fwet is. >> you mentioned brady. everybody believes you know they have what we want. we want that vince lombardi trophy. we're only city in the northeast corridor without a super bowl trophy and it's time. it's our time. and tom brady is 40 years old now and has credentials of greatest all time but his time surprise. his time surprise.

10:14 pm
is what we're talking about. for nick foles. >> he was going to retire, natasha, retire before he decided to come back and go with eagles there frank wrights the offensive coordinator. he imself was backup quarterback in the league and created one of the greatest come backs in nfl history in the playoffs and he knows a thing or two about being a backup and winning in the post season. a lot of players rights there. >> it was all about him ste stepping up in the moment. >> he's been steady and steadfast about that. >> hugging howie roseman. harold carmichael there hugging carmichael number 17 has it now but howard carmichael was a receiveer from back until the day played with ron jaworksi and made great catches and howie roseman and scuff of the year he went out and got the quarterback and carson wentz and then got weapons to put around him and the executive of the year. and this is the result thus
10:15 pm
far. ones again back live in mayfair. >> check out ukee did you see that? this is what it's about. we did this the other day the german sheppard masks sold out online. some folks got their happened on one. i saw somebody putting them o on. nothing motivated eagles' fans and team more than being consistently considered under dogs throughout the process despite their record and each going into the super bowl don bell said they're already considered under dogs against patriots. >> i have to reiterate what doug pederson said. he said we believe in ourselves. 53 guys on the roster in that locker room, under dog or not, we believe in our saevltz. doesn't matter what the national people say. they don't know what we know here in the tri-state area eagles' nation these guys believe in themselves and proved it time and time again. player going down. week after week. other players stepping up, we'll after week and that was
10:16 pm
their 15th win on the season. maybe don bell can correct me that's 15 wins. don bell joins us now. he is at lincoln financial field the site of this amoiseing win tonight of nfc champions and got mr. risey with him as well a former eagle. gentleman, good evening. >> good evening. >> good evening guys this is amazing amazing unforeseen situation. you have never lived until you watched eagles' playoff game, nfc championship game with john royvrpy who used to wear midnight green it. were you about to lose your mind watching this game. >> it is difficult they tell you not to react or respond or cheer. and that was next to impossible. >> this game if this were played 100,000 times i cannot imagine it would turn out this perfect for the eagles. >> ever again. i mean, 38-7. that was dominant it was scary shaky start.
10:17 pm
and then the whole team mentality cents n defensive core and when that happened it was like you know what the odds are of winning a game when you score on dewednesday. defensive touchdown. >> my goodness they put together a piece of beautiful art work out their on the field tonight. >> it was avalanche here at lincoln financial field. something that no one saw john mentioned early on when they went up 7-0 the air wentz out of the building and then again patrick robinson changed that thing in a hurry. let's show you how this wentz down. can we roll the highlights how we got to 38-7 win in nfc championship game and started on defensive side being down 7-0 and patrick robinson making a play and quarterback case keenum was pressured and a 50 yard return for touchdown weaving way and great block from ronald darby. then in the 2nd quarter,
10:18 pm
legarrette blount remember he won with with the patriots and gets rematch against his old klun club. they're up 14-7, nick foles to alshon jefferey hung in to 53 yard touchdown and 21-7,al shawn had plenty of badlees back in the day. >> and birds are up 24-7. how about trick ration. how about colory clement to foles, foles, to tori smith, 41 yard touchdown and great drive, determination. you're up 41-7. now in the fourth foles back of the end zone to alshon jefferey. five yard score. 38-7 and you know what that means. he we started to talk about it in the press box and fans wept nuts and doug period are son gets the gatorade. and we looked to see what
10:19 pm
jeffery lurie would do second installment and he gave it to us. it was that kind of nights at lincoln financial field. we continue to celebrate and players are now notice locker room and our lesley van arsdall is in there with them talking to them an we will get postgame sounds for you as well as liver interviews. >> meanwhile back outside all of the locker room what was the most impressive part about the win for you. >> i think the way the eagles' offense was able to string together drives it was not just -- there were big plays. but this was drive after drive of consistent football and running and passing and we drove more than i expected number two passing defense in nfl. that third, how about 3rd down though. >> incredible. >> 71% conversions on 3rd down against all-time great 3rd down defense. that is not an exaggeration by the day minnesota vikings defense the all time best when comes to denying opponents on 3rd down.
10:20 pm
>> 25% they allowed this year and it was like clockwork out there. doug pederson again added wrinkle after wrinkle to the offense and jim schwartz was aggressive when he needed to be and we were getting there and get iting pressure on case keep up without having to bring extra guys. >> we talked about turnovers and how they change games. impact games. eagles' score three today and two interceptions by keen unand derrek barnett changed the game. >> and again it was we won with incredible intensity and athletesism six of the group. hand to howie roseman executive of the year. doug and jim schwartz they won with scheme. >> this guy played on super bowl back in 2005, '0 4
10:21 pm
season your thoughts what you saw. >> no one could have called this seeing these guys come up and put up 8 points. >> hey man. >> absolutely ridiculous nick foles played a hel of a game man and showed deep ball and you know what, what you can say about the team? let's keep doing it. >> you appreciate offense doug pederson how do you like his play calling. >> he stayed on schedule calling the run and make sure you make the run and when nick foles gets a chance use d balls. they were out of control and made really big plays that everybody was he questioning throwing and his accuracy when it comes tolying the b ball and he lit it up and is proud and excited before i let you go theres with a real family environment here with the eagles and i've seen a loft foreman players walking through the halls and brian westbrook here and jamal jackson. you guys are all here. it's it like to see you guys
10:22 pm
accomplish what did you in '0 '04. >> that's what doug brought back to this whole organization the whole family feel. you can tell these guys dig each other and they bind with och each other well and they have each other's back. and they trust each other and make big plays. this is ridiculous man. >> speechless. >> speechless. >> am i saying it 38 right? >> i believe it is. >> 38-7. >> i never could have department that. >> it was a beat down bro. >> i was trying to figure out skol what does it mean. >> to cheer. >> not to fight exactly. >> what you expect when your fight drinks, >> good to see you. >> back to you. >> you heard the man what does that mean when scol is your g go-to thing. their season is over and

10:24 pm
time, yeah, you have to stay on top and then you have to change ahead of what the patriots change on you. it will be a chess mass. i love the fact -- i lover how deep we are on our d line. i don't think we can tire out the way a shallower group will tire out against the no huddl huddle. llisten, i love our chats because we win in the the trenches both side of the bal ball. that's what matters most in football this time of year. >> ukee i want to mention this the new england patriots it one of the things i wouldn'ted out earlier. a couple guys on this team paid for patriot squared a year ago and chris long was amazing in this game and had a massive impact and defensive line and legarrette blount both those guys looking across at forer teammates in the two weeks. it's an interesting story as

10:29 pm
scoring and then you know, to get the interception and top get a touchdown just to kind of get ourselves back into the game. just kind of settle down. and you know, once you ride that wife of emotion it becomes football after that and we knew talking even on the sidelines we had to stop their run a little bit and we had to stick with the runoff eventually and made plays as the game went on. >> nobody knows how you feel emotionally when that game is finally over. and you are going to the super bowl. you can relate to everybody what you feel when you view your adultness. >> i mean it's kind of surreal. it's -- i love coaching this football team and those playerss in there and we you know it's tremendous feels. quite honestly it no not sunk in. you know and the thing is

dance and we understand he's at the podium. let's go to the podium and listen in on jeffy lurie. >> as you can imagine we have the player you think is best young quarterback in nfl and suddenly you feel like you played a great game in la and you have the best record in got ball, and you lose your most valuable player or maybe the least most valuable playe player. however, we made such a concerted ivrt to make sure we could get nick bag on the tea team. who knew it would dom this. but we prioritized probably more money for the 2nd quarter back position than most any team in football. and we even were willing to you know eat a lot of contract we had so we can go out and get nick. we always had so much confidence in nick and you know his ram's experience we thought was out liar and he is just you know a wonderful
10:47 pm
person. we knew he would be great with carson and who knew we would have to rely on him but i'm hop eingtsly not surprised how terrifically he played. once he got some time with our players in terms of training it was like going through a training camp the last three, four weeks really. he had not played with the first time the entire year. and he's been doing it and there's nobody i'm happier for. >> all the games we've watched and all successes you had and mean journey i know you have one more go go, stil still, how special is this for you. >> very special and you know, i cannot under estimate our fan base. i mean it's just unbelievable. this -- you talk around the league in is note fashion at fan base in nfl if not in
10:48 pm
sports and they're partners and you want to win badly for them and what you win a conference championship it's for all of us and them and if you win a super bowl in two weeks it's for them. so, it's very special and means a lot and will mean more if we can accomplish our major girl. >> you mentioned howie johnson and what does it say about -- how was he able to build through the short term and also still look to the future. >> number one he's a very, very smart guy. and the role today to be in channel of football operations it's so much more than simply what it's been in the past decades with scouting scouting is big part but you have to manage in so many ways short term needs and midterm needs
10:49 pm
and long term needs and we found ourselves in interesting situation in is year two of the plan and we have a quarter back advancing by leaps and bounds and team playing great defense and offensive line that was really good and we thought, you know, why can't we win it all? and why can't we win it all? and we took approach where we're going to do everything possible that could help our team this year and at the same time not relinquish any options going for barred that's i think key to strategy it took howie and joe douglass and staffs a lot of work to figure outgoing after the cory grahams and patrick rob up sops all over the roster. and we're aggressive at the trade deadline because we thought we had a chance. in rm alley you would not do
10:50 pm

10:52 pm
consistency and genuineness. doug pederson is just himself and at times that's humble and at times that real and at times that's bright and he does it in a true, genuine way. players really respond to that in today's world. >> you had a lot of runs with this franchise and it's been 1 years does it make you appreciate a little more knowing ass good as you had teams --. it's not easy. but you know i'm very excited about the present and very excited about the future. >> and any additional comments. >> they beat us and i have great respect for them and my heart and hope is that we can bring a super bowl to philadelphia. our fans deserve it more than
