Teams are so even statistically overall, with our half yard per play advantage on offense offset by their defense. Both will move well between the 20s, I think it comes down to red zone and turnovers. That would have been a disadvantage for most of the season but in the last few games the D has only surrendered 44 percent TD rate compared with 66 for the season. [Reply]
Now I know why I hate Eagles HC Nick Sarianni. He was assistant assistant coach during the Snott Piioli Era. Andy Reai cleaned house and we haven't looked back. [Reply]

He's better at the decision-making portion than Lamar, I think. Thank God he's not nearly as fast.
I think Spags will have a good plan for slowing them down, but we don't want to get into a straight up open field battle with PHI and that running game, imo. They're just too good at it, and they have the horses. Gotta get them to be more pass-centric by mid-third quarter.
Kelce is a big part of that run game as well. I watched a show the other day that highlighted Kelce, pulling from center and destroying DEs and then on to the next level and pancaking LBs. It was very impressive. [Reply]

Todd Haley gave him his first NFL job, with the Chiefs.

Yeah, I do think we'll be able to run on them to a certain degree. But the strength of the team goes through the air, so I doubt we'll just pin our ears back and try to bulldoze them. Unless we're late in the game with at least a 9 point lead. Then Andy might call a half dozen runs in a row. Might. [Reply]

Not OUR Kelce, theirs. Not sure Ive seen a Center doing the things he was doing. [Reply]

Right. Keep forgetting Jason's last name is kelce, lol.
Yeah, he's a difference maker. And you're right, he does a lot of things most Cs just don't or can't do. He's so versatile, probably from playing so many positions when he was younger. He just knows what the defense is thinking in every situation and moment. For instance, he played LB at one point, iirc, so he knows at a genetic level what LBs want to do and how they react to every situation. He also played FB, iirc. [Reply]
Like Chris Meck said before - USE A SPY on Hurts. STOP the run and keep their D on the field as long as possible. I want their D exhausted in the 4th quarter! We can do this! CHIEFS OR DIE! :-) [Reply]

Pretty confident Spags will spy Hurts. The only real question is who exactly draws that duty. Bolton is the obvious choice, but Gay is so much more athletic, just not as savvy. I have a feeling Spags might rotate the duty among at least three players, just not sure who that third would be. [Reply]

Lolz, okay which one of you guys is over on the Eagles board trolling them with the "it's rigged! It's all a conspiracy to have Mahomes win" shit? [Reply]
