That's not including Sneed and Gay who both are on track to play as well. If we can't have em all back, at least it's the guy we've been playing without for most of the last several weeks.
Correct. If Hardman is the "odds are they won't all be able to play" guy, I think that's best case scenario from a realistic standpoint. I honestly thought we had seen the end of Hardman this season months ago. Kudos for him for giving it a shot. [Reply]
I think this Eagles team is better than the SF one we beat in the SB. More mobile QB, more complete OL, at least as good DL with more depth, better WRs. Plus we're more banged up. Winning with this many rookies would be an unreal achievement.
But I guess I've just seen enough of Mahomes to pretty much disregard whatever roster disadvantage we may have and see it, at worst, as a 50-50.
As others have said stopping the run feels like it's key. I think if Gay, Chenal and Bolton play well and don't get sucked into coverage mismatches I think we have a great chance. I have no idea what we do to protect Wylie, that's not going to be fun to watch. [Reply]

To me the Chiefs roster is far more talented than people seem to think. A lot of that is because Mahomes is who he is. KC has made a living out of beating talented teams. I also think if there was a team capable of knocking Philly out of their game plan it is this one. I am a Hurts fan but I just don’t think he will be 100% for the game and if that’s the case their offense becomes far more limited. [Reply]

In terms of the regular season, you only can play who is front of you. If Hurts does not hurt his shoulder they probably would have gone 16-1.

Yeah I think our defensive roster for sure is better than the one we had in 2019.
