The Eagles have played no top shelf QB’s this year. They have not been challenged this year or in the playoffs. Hurt looked way too somber tonight on fun night.
Mahomes and Reid are going to bring this home. [Reply]
Reid isn’t bitter about Philly. It was a mutual split. He’d been there too long and he was shaking off some really bad memories of his son. He’s mentioned many times that the final years in Philly were very difficult because of it. Philly still has a lot of love for Reid… for a city that would boo mike Schmidt that says a lot. [Reply]

Interestingly the chiefs haven’t played many dual threat QBs this year either. Some decently athletic QBs like burrow… some athletic QBs who can’t throw… but other than josh Allen nobody who can run like hurts.
But yeah of the two the eagles defense will have way more to prove given their qb schedule. Especially after coasting in the playoffs vs a pretty weak qb slate. [Reply]
Are Lavar Leaps still legal in this NFL? I know they banned them on Field goals but if the doodoo birds luneup in a scrum formation on 4th & 1 can Gay soar like a rainbow?!? [Reply]

Do we think he’s still bitter about it and it gives him a little extra motivation?
His last season or 2 were complete disasters. I remember when Juan Castillo( O-line coach) was made defensive coordinator by him. He also was dealing with a loss of a son around that time.
He had a 14 year tenure in Philly and failed to deliver a Superbowl. It was just time to move on. He knew it, Lurie knew it, and so did the fans.
He also had a hand in the Eagles Hiring Doug Pederson. Who went on to win the Eagles first Super Bowl. [Reply]

It gets ridiculous. Andy didn't have anything against Nick. He just wanted his dude. [Reply]
The Eagles defense could be one of the biggest paper tigers we've ever seen.
"Among the quarterbacks who finished top 10 in EPA per pass play this season, just three were on the Eagles’ schedule: Jared Goff, Trevor Lawrence, and Dak Prescott (whom the Eagles faced in only one of their two matchups against Dallas).
Goff and the Lions scored 35 points against the Eagles in Week 1. Lawrence and the Jaguars managed just 219 total yards, but bad weather was a big factor in that game. Prescott and the Cowboys totaled 419 yards and 40 points in Week 16."

The Ravens and Bills beat up lower teams and it showed up come playoff time. I still don't believe last year's Chiefs' team was all that. The Eagles playoff wins were not against impressive opponents either [Reply]

Yeah, not sure using Week 1 results is a great measure as their defense would have improved since then. But on the flip side KCs offense has also improved and will be the most complex they face all year. Mahomes is also the best QB by far they have faced. I like KCs chances as long as Brown Jr/Wylie are competent. [Reply]
