5:40 pm
that makes you think they can. >> it would mean the world not just for the guys that played in the super bowl 13 years ago but for the city, you know, jeffrey and then to be able to do it against the team that beat us, that would make it a little bit more special, so, you know, i'm hoping those guys get the win. like you said i haven't watched the super bowl not once so if we get the win when we get the win. >> reporter: when we get the win. >> you know, i'll probably watch it. >> i wish you guys could see all the fans around here to see the ax man here. in terms of on the field x's and o's what do you think the biggest key to this game is. >> i think -- well listen, belichick is a genius everybody knows that. it's no secret. i think if the eagles come out, they're going to have to show something that belichick hasn't seen before because belichick can go back to when you played in high school and serious he'll go back to when you playe high school. i know doug was school a little bit before he got back into the nfl and so he's going to have to give him something's he hasn't seen. he's going to have to have two
