Andy Reid said Patrick Mahomes (right high ankle sprain) can right now do just about everything in the playbook. Reid appears to like where Mahomes is physically. They had a physical practice with some pace Monday and that went well.

It's basically on our OL. If it holds up, we should be fine.
If those rookie CBs would have faltered against the Bengals...I would be worried. All three stepped up huge though in a game that had huge stakes. AJ Brown is a beast but Smith is no Higgins or Chase. [Reply]

And that was without Sneed for bascially the entire game. With Sneed back, not happening. [Reply]

The biggest problems in both super bowls were pressure. And in the SF game Nick Bosa had 12 pressures in 42 passes, so around 30% of the time and that was with quick passes and going away from him.
If they can keep the pressure at bay we’ll score 30+ [Reply]
These talking heads are making their picks based upon spreadsheets rather than watching the games. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard "The Eagles are the much better team... if you compare player by player the Eagles are so much better..." well, I'd have a lot of dollars! :-) They are L A Z Y. Same shit, different week.
The guys who spend their time studying film and breaking down the gameplans, execution, and coaching rarely regurgitate that stupid "if you compare all of the positions" mantra. What they are saying is "this is going to be one hell of a game!", often followed by "I think KC wins it because Mahomes is that guy, the KC D is vastly underrated, and Reid & Co are the better coaches who have been there before and won it all".

I follow a lot of the advanced analytics stuff. Most of them have it a 3-point game either way. ESPN's calculator has it at 50/50.
For comparison's sake, most of the talking heads had Cinci winning the AFCCG. ESPN's calculator had a 66% chance of KC winning. [Reply]

Won’t lie, life is easier when you realize that talking heads are paid to give an opinion, not be correct. [Reply]
