Maybe not… But the fact that he was in the conversation should tell you that he’s not a guy that you have to hide. my God use your head [Reply]

Eagles played in a soft NFC.
They didn't play offenses like Cincinnati or Buffalo.
I mean for God's sake they played a team with a 3rd string QB in the conference championship. [Reply]

Eh.
"Hide" is a relative term. They certainly aren't going into the game with a game plan to air it out as you would if you had a Mahomes, Burrow or Allen etc.
I don't wanna get trapped into sounding like a Hurts hater, i'm not. But the Eagles aren't built on the passing game like the previously mentioned teams.
They're going to pick and choose when to take their shots with Hurts. If the Chiefs can manage to make the Eagles one dimensional, the Chiefs odds of winning are gonna go up quite a bit. [Reply]

On the hole though they played a tougher schedule and the Chiefs… Opponent winning percentage doesn’t lie. Now I will repeat myself, I don’t look down on the Chiefs because they played the second easier schedule… I still think they were great team. You’re a bit like a 5 foot 5 guy making fun of a 5 foot 6 guys height LOL. We both played easy schedules, neither one of us should be making fun of the others. Yes you played buffalo in Cincinnati. You also played in a easy division. The eagles won a division in which three teams made the playoffs… and the 4th was eliminated the final day of the season. [Reply]

Everybody knew BUFF was just hyped up , so that’s that!
Don’t knock on 3rd string qbs cuz you are one hit away (from that Nasty Eagles pass rush ) to go to your 3rd stringer . Patrick will be running for his life on 1 leg . Enjoy your MVP hardware ! [Reply]

You might be very surprised on that one. The Eagles typical game plan is to throw to get a lead early, then rush to to run out the clock. I have no idea how the games gonna go, but I fully expect for the Eagles to come out throwing. [Reply]

Dude come on, show Mahomes the respect he deserves. The guy is incredible [Reply]

I actually think your OC is a genius.
And so the plan won't be to have Hurts go throw to throw with Mahomes, that tilts away from your strengths to ours. [Reply]
Lots of unknown in this matchup. Chiefs health and Hurts health.
Eagles have two blowout wins in the playoffs, but very little contribution from the passing attack. The Eagles team would be scarier if they'd just dominated those teams in the way they did Tennessee earlier in the year. [Reply]

Who gives a shit when the NFC is just a bunch of shitty teams beating up on each other. That stat means nothing. [Reply]

But yes, it's simply a matter of fact that your defense just has not been tested by an elite offense.
And no, the Eagles simply haven't been in nearly as many big games as the Chiefs have. Not this season, and not last.
I'm sorry that you don't like that answer, but that is a truth. Believe it or not, there are in fact things that DO work in the Chiefs favor.
Now, it doesn't mean the Eagles aren't a great team. They obviously are. But the Eagles haven't seen anything like the Chiefs all year.
Your defense doesn't scare me. Not that it isn't good, it is. But it's hard to be scared of a defense when you have a QB who's made a career out of slaying #1 ranked defenses. I don't think i need to argue on behalf of Mahomes here.
Offensively, ya'll are loaded. More loaded than we are, that's for sure. It'll be a tough task to ask of our defense. A defense that has NEVER gotten the respect it deserves. It'll start with the run game. Your offense really runs through Hurts' ability to run. If the Chiefs can neutralize that, which is a lot easier to do on an injured Hurts, it changes the fundamental way your offense operates. And our much maligned defense, is actually pretty damn good at keying on what you do best, and making you beat us another way.
We'll see. Again, two teams who's players have a lot of love and respect for one another. It should be fun.
The Chiefs under Spagnuolo are really one of the few teams to bottle up Lamar. It will be interesting to see how the Eagles pass to setup the runs. Because they're not going to be successful just running RPO all the time. [Reply]

Dude, Dak Prescott just lit you guys up a few weeks ago [Reply]
