They've faced two offenses that were in the same ballpark as KC's this year. Detroit dropped 35, despite losing the TO battle. And Dallas (w/Dak) scored 40.
They also allowed 32 vs a weak Washington offense, and 33 vs the Packers in only 24 min (11 points higher than their average). Jordan Love played half the game and they still averaged 7 yds/play.
Most of the offenses they've faced are bottom 10ish in points per play. Including #32, 28, 27 x2, 26, 25 and 24. And of course they drew a 4th string QB last week, and Cooper Rush.
Reminds me a little of the "#1" Buffalo D last year. I also don't think their coverage schemes match up well w/ KC. That's not to say they can't cause problems for the Chiefs' offense, but I'm betting that Reid and Mahomes can have plenty of success if the offense is semi-healthy.
That’s where I landed today. Great pass rush … if they’re playing from ahead and the opposing QB/scheme isn’t good. [Reply]

Detroit was a million years ago - week 1.
You can’t look at individual games. Any given Sunday. Chiefs lost to the Colts for instance.
I think some of you are cherry picking stats.
Point differential, all games.
Chiefs +137.
Eagles +188.

I’m more than fine with Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen
If you want no emotion you should see the How Bout Those Chiefs live stream on Youtube. I really expected that guy (Cole) to be way way way more amped up when they knocked the FG thru. He was so boring acting. It was awkward. [Reply]

Look, Chiefs and Eagles are two teams that got love for each other. Our fan bases got no history and your team is likeable. I got nothing against philly and their fans. I don't want no beef. So welcome to CP.
But stay away from bullshit ass arguments, making shit up etc. Not saying that your post is doing that, i'm just giving you fair warning in advance.
Lets make this an enjoyable, fun SB for everyone. [Reply]

Glanced at it and perhaps not, but one of diq's things was "just here to talk football", and of course the whole thing with "your stats are bad, look at these stats!"
Maybe they're long lost twins who wander internet football message boards, thinly veiled as football fans, trying to find one another. [Reply]

Layer upon layer of intrigue
Another thing I like, is that we'll certainly get a good clean game from the players... no chance Philly gets dirty with a guy in such high standing like Jason Kelce around
He won't stand for it, nor will Travis on our side [Reply]
I like Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. Hard to like Nick Sirianni though. Guy has Todd Haley vibes written all over him. But the NFC is JV. We beat the Niners by like 30. Eagles best win was in week 4 against a Jags team that hadn't even began playing well yet. [Reply]
