My concern is their run game. We absolutely cannot allow the Eagles to chew up yardage on the ground. We need to stack the box, which will leave McDuffie and Sneed on an island, but they have proven themselves to be top tier corners... they should be just fine. Gotta stuff that run, grab a lead, extend it, then blitz like maniacs (unleash Spags) :D |

Man...Makes you wonder why more teams aren't racking up 70 plus sacks in the last 36 or so years if it was that easy. |
I visited an Eagles thread on this game and it’s like something from 25 years. Lots of posts with just run the ball and defense wins championships. Sorry Eagles fans but Hurts is going to need more than 120 yards to win. Anything less than 175 yards is a double digit Chiefs victory.

This kinda feels like it's over by the end of the 3rd. The more I look into it, I just don't think the Eagles match up well with us. They'll have to just bludgeon us with the run game and A) I don't think they can, B) I don't think they will. Like it or not, coaches are human. These guys are on the big stage and it's Siriani's first time out there. I just can't see him spamming inside hand-offs at 4 yards/carry. It's exactly what cost Shanahan against us. "Oh well Siriani won't stop running if he gets a lead..." Wanna bet? He's gonna feel the need to peacock and put his stamp on it. But more than that, I don't think he'll GET that kind of lead. They just don't have a team that is built to run away from us. In a vacuum I think Philly is a more talented team than Cincy, but I think Cincy was a tougher out for us. |

It’s normally more lik: 3, 12, 6, 5, 1, 2…and that’s 3rd and 7. Hurts will have to make throws to win. |
Exactly what changes did PHI make defensively from last season? just watched the highlights from the week 4 meeting last season, and our offense didn't have any trouble moving the ball either on the ground or through the air. On the ground was really interesting; 32 rushes for 200 yards. CEH had a career type day, over 100 yds and 7.3yds/att. Pat threw for less than 300 yards, but 5 TDs.
I don't expect it will be that easy again, but wow, the offense pretty much did whatever they wanted. |
I like this matchup way better than the 9ers or Bucs with a mash unit OL.

I think the Eagles did made some really nice improvements. I just don't believe they're as drastically dominant defensively as playing so many games against below average QBs made them look ... |
Quote:
I agree, i like this matchup. And i don't believe they're as great as their stats say they are. |
Lot of respect for the Chiefs, watched a lot of games from both teams. Think this one may be over by halftime. Maybe wishful thinking. Eagles haven't had a rough path but you only play the teams you play and they should have the full roster healthy.

So it ain't nothin'. They're a vastly superior team to last year's model. I just don't think it'll be good enough. |
Chiefs just don't do that to teams often though.
I'd love to be cruising in this but I think it'll be close even if we're in control most of the way. |
Quote:
CJ Gardner-Johnson is a good safety and was traded bc of the Saints abysmal cap situation and some other bullshit. Hassan Reddick had 23.5 sacks and 8 forced fumbles the 2 years before he got to Philly this year. He was a known speed rusher with a lot of talent. Those 3 helped them out a lot. Having said that, I think the Chiefs could absolutely pull away in the mid 4th if they execute. The best thing Philly has going for them is their OL. If they don’t win there then it’s pretty much over for them. |
Quote:
True, PM is insanely good. Not being 100% will be a factor in will the birds pash rush. There was a lot of talk of the 49rs defense but the eagles is just as good if not better. The eagles D line is pretty good and Haason Reddick is better than bosa or parsons. Looking forward to a great game. |

Eagles CBs are gonna be like 'WTF' when Mahomes throws a no look behind the back overhanded underhanded spiralling knuckleball to Andy Reid who registered as eligible on 6th and 2.

I would normally agree but I don't have a good handle on injuries right now. We need some bodies back. |
Quote:
Mahomes has annihilated the NFC. Most games haven’t been close, including SF on the road this year, back when they actually had a QB. Not to mention, Hurts is going to be more limited than Mahomes. |
Quote:
TJ Edwards and Brandon Graham both played out of their minds this year and put up their best seasons ever. Edwards is slow though and won't be able to keep up to Kelce. White isn't overly quick either, honestly, which is why he had to move from safety to LB. Their constant rushing of 5 to get Reddick home could be what puts the dagger in them though. Mahomes slaughters the blitz. |

I don't understand how anyone would think this game would be over at the half. These are two good teams and nobody is giving up. Even the Tampa superbowl 2 years ago, the game looked bleak but who thought it was over at the half?

It is highly unlikely the game is over at the half either way because that would have to be a hell of a deficit for either side for it to be "over". However, anyone thinking the Chiefs are in for a beatdown must not realize that Patrick Mahomes has started 93 total games in his career (regular and post season) and has lost by double digits exactly 3 times. That's it. 3 times. |
The only concern I have is that shitty field! Remember Butker and several other players were injured when we played there week 1. I hope the field is better this time around.

I went back and watched highlights from last year's Chiefs/Eagles...sure is nice to have a superior replacement for Nieman, Hitchens, Hughes, Sorenson, Mathieu, Baker, Watts Bootle, and Reed. Amazing job by Veatch, almost unheard of to replace that many snaps, largely with draft picks. Would be nice to have Wharton and Hill, but another 11-13 new picks this year will set this team up through most of the 20s.
|
I just rewatched the condensed game from last year. Absolutely no defense in that game. Almost 1000 combined yards. We gashed them with the run, believe it or not. Around 200 yards on the ground. Hurts throwing the ball was most of their offense.
Yes, both defenses are improved from last year, but the Chiefs much more so than the Eagles. I'd still expect a shoot-out if both offenses are healthy, and that is the big unknown going into the game. My thinking is Hurts' shoulder is the real key, more so than Mahomes' lingering ankle injury or our WRs injuries. If Hurts is not throwing darts on the move, how do they win? |

I think the game is close to a coin flip if both teams are healthy, with us with a slight advantage. Given the injuries, hard to say, but Philly could potentially be more affected. |

All this Fangio stuff is entirely overrated in my opinion. It's just disguising various zones with deep safeties while a very talented front four get to the passer. It's nothing without a stellar pass rush from the front four. It's not some genius scheme. Build a bad-assed pass rushing line, and anyone looks like a defensive genius. It's the horses. of course, Philly has the horses. |

Now, Andy is the king of breaking his own tendencies, and PHI probably can't just adopt Fangio's defense in a week and a half (don't think they would anyway), so it's not a huge advantage either. But the PHI DC would be a pretty dumb clown not to ask Fangio if he could look at that book. |
Quote:
But I watched the AFCCG highlights earlier this evening, followed by "The Franchise" episode 13, followed by a couple "Sights and Sounds" of the game, and I'll tell you that Skyy's mechanics and fundamentals looked near-perfect on his three returns. He gets under the ball in time and gets set; he doesn't have any happy feet issues, hell, the last one for the 27 yard gain, he had to drift backwards several yards, and he still fielded the ball perfectly. His catch mechanics are perfect, and he even went straight upfield after the catches. I think he's going to be okay as a returner going into next year. |

The rise of Fangio was because that scheme was good at forcing the new young gunslingers to hold the ball, be patient and take the short stuff or make mistakes forcing the ball because they want to chuck it downfield. So he and all of his disciples (Brandon Staley) become all the rage. I'm not worried about Fangio. There's no genius scheme there. Hell, we run some of the same coverages, and disguising things pre-snap is perhaps the only 'scheme' that you can call Spagnuolo's. It's the horses. What I am worried about is that front four. If you have a dominant front four, you'll have a top 5 defense. It's really that simple. It's why I thought Veach was on a mission for that this offseason, but he went back to front instead. Not what I expected, but hard to argue with the results. |
Fangio is a pattern match guy. Basically like a matchup zone in basketball.

Just a reminder that the Chiefs have absolutely destroyed the Fangio defense that the league has copied. Practicing against it as a division opponent has prepared them for it.

It would be a strange look. For the AFC to be loaded with QB talent. Then have the NFC win the last 3 SBs
