PHILADELPHIA >> Veteran cornerback Byron Maxwell is serious about the Eagles having a chance to go to Super Bowl 50.
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
The mega-bucks free agent acquisition met the $63 million question, if you will, head on after the OTA practice Tuesday.
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
“I believe it,” Maxwell said. “It wasn’t like … something to worry about. It was like, alright.”
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
Maxwell guaranteed the Sports Illustrated MMQB that the Eagles would play in the upcoming Super Bowl in Santa Clara, Calif. He’s the only Eagles player with enough credibility you would listen to as he joins the club after starting at cornerback in the last two Super Bowls for the Seattle Seahawks. The ’Hawks beat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII and were beaten this past February by the New England Patriots.

What makes Maxwell feel the Eagles have what it takes to get there starts with Chip “Sports Science” Kelly, his staff and the personalities on the team.
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
“The coaching we’ve got here, we’re going to win,” Maxwell said. “There’s the belief, the guys in the locker room, how we jell together. You can see that already. We don’t have any selfish characters. That’s No. 1 on a winning team. You don’t really have selfish characters on a team.”
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
Maxwell knows about characters. It’s inescapable for anyone who’s been part of the Seahawks culture. In one way or another Seahawks players do something to symbolize they’re all in. Pro Bowl safety Earl Thomas, among others, shows he’s all business by wearing cleats to walk-throughs.
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
Maxwell didn’t do the cleats. Without getting specific, he sees various and sundry examples of sacrifice on this Eagles team. That’s why he was puzzled by the outside reaction to his Super Bowl spiel.
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
“Yeah, a little bit,” Maxwell said. “A little surprised but like I said, they warned me before getting here that the Philadelphia media, they take quotes and they run with it.”
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
Maxwell quickly added he didn’t have a problem with quote running.
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
“What I’m saying is it’s a very competitive market,” Maxwell said.
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
The locker room, by the way, is where Maxwell says the road to the Super Bowl starts. No ifs, ands or buts.
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
“It’s very important,” Maxwell said. “When you get out there on the field and it gets heavy, you need guys to stick together and not come down on each other. You need guys that when a bad play happens, you say, ‘come on bro,’ and you get it together the next play.”
<!-- end articleparagraph1.pbo --><!-- start articleparagraph1.pbo -->
Maxwell intercepted three passes, including one in the playoffs for the Seahawks. Only Richard Sherman had more picks on the squad last year.

who?

Maxwell has nothing on me....I always say the Eagles will get there every year!

And I am right less than a standard grandfather's clock.....

Eagles will never be good. They don't understand how to win. White, stand in the pocket passers with good decision making and you might be accurate.



New QB: Cool, you ran 40 in 3.4 seconds. Means nothing to me except 4 bubble screens on 3rd down.

Eagles always go with not real quarterbacks. Guys that should not be in the NFL. I blame Randall Cunningham and Jesse Jackson.

Ummmm ....Mcnabb was a successful qb for the franchise....and while he isn't an all time great he certainly belonged in the NFL.

hopefully I'm still alive when the Colts draft a Black QB. Even if I'm gone from the site I will come back to bump this Thread .. ala 5Teamparlay style

McNabb sucked. Take a decent black qb and they will elevate him to great. Sad world.

The Colts will never take a black qb. Attendance would dip because we know they suck. It really isn't hard to pick a qb.

over under wins for 2015:
9.5

everyone in nfl football should be like byron maxwell and guarantee the super bowl. We must understand these big guys who think that they are better than everyone. Same like in mma, boxing or any combat sports. Ask any fighter how they feel after a loss and i guarantee you all of them will feel they should have won and want a rematch.

this kind of stuff has been happening for so many years, remember when andre rison said he was gonna guarantee a win? lol win or lose, it doesn't matter if any of these guys guarantee superbowl or a win.

On the other hand if we are talking about science then, someone on the intelligent side of things might say "high percentage" as in hey, this teams stats speak for itself by being able to get first downs on 3rd and short 65% of the time, now what would that say about that team's offensive line when it comes to good running play chances?

Maxwell got burned a few times tonight. I bet if you asked him, he was what made Seattle's defense.

I respect Malcolm Jenkins alot. He's a great player and would fit in with The Legion of Boom, and is the best Eagle DB by far. Maxwell found out, and will continue to find out, that not playing with Sherman, Kam, and Earl Thomas is not so easy. I really think the Eagles way overpaid for him, and that Seattle got the better CB in Cary Williams for alot less.

<article class="article-bucket content"><!-- AddThis Button Begin --><iframe style="display: none; visibility: hidden;" src="http://tpc.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-2/html/container.html"></iframe>PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — On August 31st, two days after that infamous Sam Bradford perfect preseason game, the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl odds were around 10/1, among the shortest in the NFL.
Then the Eagles lost three of their first four games to start the season, and according to Bovada LV, their odds plummeted to 35/1, 12th shortest in the NFL.
Now, after back-to-back convincing home wins over the New Orleans Saints and New York Giants to even their record at 3-3, the Eagles’ Super Bowl odds shrunk to 18/1, tied for the sixth shortest in the NFL with Pennsylvania’s other pro football team.
The Eagles are also now the favorite to win the NFC East at 6/5. After losing in Philadelphia, the Giants are 2/1, while the Dallas Cowboys are 15/4 and the Washington Redskins are 10/1.
The Eagles’ opponent this week, the undefeated Carolina Panthers, have longer Super Bowl odds than the Eagles at 20/1. Also, the 5-1 Atlanta Falcons—a team that beat the Eagles in Week 1—also have 20/1 Super Bowl odds.
