Chiefs Let’s talk about the Eagles (Super Bowl edition!) - Page 16

The ONLY thing I'm worried about right now is all the injuries last night.

The Eagles are great team, they have a good offense and an excellent defensive line. I'm just not worried about it until we get closer to the game and see how healthy the Chiefs are.

I'm not looking forward to having to see Suh take shots at Mahomes in another SB again. That's for sure.

I do think all of their numbers etc are inflated because they played nobody all year. Dallas lit them the fuck up for 40 points...

The 2022-23 Philadelphia Eagles are literally the worst team of all time!!!!

I’m curious about the Chiefs pass rush vs the Eagles OL.

The Eagles allowed the 9th highest sack rate in the league. Higher than Bengals. They also allowed the 11th most sacks in the league.

How did an 0-17 team that gets beat 69-0 make the Super Bowl???? Shouldn’t have even made the playoffs imo.

It's a good oline. Probably best in run blocking. My guess is that sack rate has a lot more to do with Hurts holding on to the ball.

If we force them into obvious passing situations, we have a good shot.

Stopping (or slowing) the run is the entire game. If they are constantly in 3rd in 4 or less then we are going to be in trouble.

Gotta contain Hurts and shut down the running game. Score early and make them play from behind.

Dickerson their LG got hurt yesterday. That will be interesting to watch and see what happens.

They are not good playing from behind.

They're actually really similar to playing the Ravens.

Containing mobile QBs on the third and short is damn near impossible.

How Much are Eagles fans going to HATE Andy Reid.....When he costs them ANOTHER championship.....but this time by beating them to death with his Patrick Mahomes.

Congratulations on the SB trip!

What do Eagles fans think of their pass protection/Hurts pocket presence?

Hurts was sacked 38 times in 15 games with another 6 sacks on Minshew. Hurts was sacked on 7.6% of his drop backs.

For reference, Joe Burrow was sacked 41 times in 16 games on 6.3% of his dropbacks.

Is this cause for concern with a fairly inexperienced QB in the Super Bowl? Or an example of the stats not telling the entire story?

Great question. In my view, the higher sack rate is primarily due to Hurts always thinking he can extend the play...because like Mahomes, often he can. However, that backfires as well, and sometimes he just needs to be ok with throwing it away.
