That weather took away the passing games. It became a slugfest which favors the Eagles heavily. That game absolutely showed something. The Eagles were allowed by the weather to finish the game on their terms.

C'mon Chris.

They've been bored because they've been waiting for this ****ing game. He's better than that.

And 38 points would be by far the most we've given up since Super Bowl 57. More actually than even that game.

That's a non-sense, bullshit prediction from a guy who knows better.

Any thought that we can't won this game is stupid. We have won the last two SB's and beat better teams in the playoffs.

Screen game with Perine… He could possibly have a big game …

1) Vegas thinks we will won this game, and
2) There weren't, and aren't any better team than the Chiefs

#1 is a big one. Vegas absolutely thinks the Chiefs will win just like they did against the Bills.

Belichick talked about this. 11 personnel with 3 receivers condensed provides an extremely difficult assignment bc of the Chiefs speed and Andy’s play design.

Making those guys think is what’s hard for rookies like Quinyon/DeJean.

Hollywood/Worthy alone will force Fangio to play cover 2 as his base defense to prevent the big play. Andy is gonna destroy him in the middle of the field bc at that point it’s 5 vs 5 in the first 10 yards and 2 of those 5 defenders are LB’s.

Huge mismatch

This doesn't even factor in that their safeties get super wide on the hashes leaving Kelce on LB's with a lot of space.

This does feel ripe for a classic from Kelce.

Yeah I kinda expected more from Chris, but oh well. It's gotta be boring picking the Chiefs all day.

Back to back champs with a 17-1 record of which the one loss was avenged therefore our guys have defeated every team they have faced this season and this is how little Chris Simms thinks of this team? It's shocking but let him keep talking and hopefully it just adds more fuel to the fire.

It just comes down to execution

Just absolute hyperbole. That's surprising from Simms. He's generally better than that.

Yeah, I'm watching Rams-Eagles condensed on YouTube right now. The Rams ran a decent amount of traps and took advantage of that.

They really ran the ball effectively with Kyren Williams and power concepts from single back and 12 sets.

Hmm. I wonder if the Chiefs would like to do that. Surely NOT!

Heard someone speak about how Andy may run some to get big guy Davis on the field then go hurry up so Eagles can't drag him off quickly on passing downs. They said that will mess with the Eagles front.

Another interesting note is most of the Eagles defense has never played in a superbowl.

I think Hunt is going to have a breakout game. I don't see how Philly can stop him AND shut down our receivers.

I've rarely ever seen Andy run hurry up. I doubt he does it on Sunday.

You clearly didn't watch the game if you don't think the field conditions were an issue for the entire game. Puke Nacua was getting open then slipping or dropping balls he otherwise wouldn't have.

You watch that Rams game and see Kyren Williams having a LOT of success on inside power runs, and it's hard to NOT see Hunt doing the same.

This defensive line is like 80 percent of the one they beat two years ago and last year.

WTF?

A DL that doesn't get pressure. How will Mahomes possibly handle it...

gold jacket players and coaches chasing history vs a talented roster with some blue chip guys. all the analysis i need at this point

They did it last superbowl.

Simms also picked the Bills. I like his breakdowns but between that pick and thinking the Chiefs are going to give up 38 points I'm not too concerned with his opinion in this one.

Any recommendations on where to watch the game in Orlando? Asking for a friend.

I mean, what in the actual ****?

This DL is nothing special. Like what are we thinking here?

It says a lot when the explanation for their picks makes no sense...

1 loss all season, 7 game-winning drives, 23 TDs/2 INTs in the latter half of the year.

It's funny that clowns like you think Mahomes has something to prove to you. He could retire today, forfeit the Super Bowl, and still have achieved more than Hurts ever will.

He's predicting a defensive player has 3 forced turnovers in the superbowl against a team that doesn't turn the ball over? What kind of nonsense is this? How do these fools have jobs?

From the media interviews it was relayed that the Eagles plan to have Cooper DeJean on Kelce since he covers the slot and Kelce lines up there a ton.

Godspeed young man. This is the best non-QB in playoff history. No pressure

I mean, he very well could be arguing FOUR turnovers. The fumble recovery and forced fumble could be two different plays.

Carton's just the apex dipshit. Florio's a bad actor -- a somewhat intelligent person who's just a bitter, jilted asshole with an axe to grind.

Carton, on the other hand, probably can't change a lightbulb and sweats when he reads. He's just a goddamn moron.

Monkey throws shit at wall
-Film at 11

Wanna know why I keep banging the drum on getting a RB early in the draft this year?

Man, can you imagine someone with game-breaking speed like Henderson to throw into those RPOs?

LBs in conflict with Kareem Hunt means the Chiefs gain 6-8 yards if everything goes wrong for Philly. You put a genuine top 12 RB on this roster and suddenly that 8 yard gain becomes 40.

If I'm the LBs I cheat pass on the RPO looks and force them to beat me with the ground game. And if I'm KC, my answer might just be to give Pacheco some early carries on the RPOs to see if he can pop one for 20-30 yards and give them something to think about there.

We don't have to imagine too much - Kareem in 2018 was what it could look like.

Great draft to go get a dude at RB but that's a story for another month from now.

Yes, they would be stupid to play into the Chiefs hands early on by leaving the pass windows vacant.

I strongly suspect the Eagles defense starts out hot headed, and it would be better to call your traps and zone runs and let the RPOs be more of a factor later on. Eh then again, their energy early could be used against them with RPOs, too.

But also again, I think the DL has to be just as disciplined as the LBs for it to work. That's what the Bengals, Raiders, and even Buffalo started to do late a couple weeks ago. The DL sees mesh and they do a hell of job just holding the LOS and attacking the gap as the RB gets to the LOS.

If Philly's young DL doesn't show that same discipline, Baun can play pass all he wants, Kareem will run for 4-8 over and over.

Public betting on emotions.

My AI model is predicting a 1 point difference in deciding the game.

Something is telling me this is going to be a nail biter.

To be fair they did get this from Kareem vs Buffalo, but yeah only 17 explosive 10+ yd runs all year from the RB room is awful.

Man look how much the LB’s are thinking in this clip. Andy is going to make Zack Buan look like Boomer Grigsby there. Last time he put a clinic onTJ Edwards and Kyzier White.

The 2021 struggle is gonna help us big time Sunday. They have so much experience against Fangio. Not sure how anyone can say this isn’t a major coaching advantage for us.

I think Kareem will have more burst like he did in the AFCCG and divisional round after another bye essentially.

avoiding injury?

Yeah, the offense cooks with a RB who can put teams in conf.lict there.

This is the draft to reload at that spot. Spend that late 2nd/early 3rd/late 3rd on one of the backs who can give you some HR-hitting ability.

There are quite a few of them out there.

I'm I nuts for kinda thinking we'll see a throw to PM out of that formation on Sunday?

I have ZERO idea how they'd do it within the context of that mesh/triple option thing, but Andy is just smarter than I am so he'll have something in mind.

If they get up by double digits at some point, it's coming.

I don't know if they'll have the stones to try it in a close game, but I wouldn't put it outside oft he realm of possibility either.

Andy lets his balls hang out a bit in these situations...

Any of of the Ohio St. RBs would do.

I think he might break Mahomes' SB MVP streak. In fact, that's MY dark horse prediction.

Hunt has 2 TDs rushing and another one receiving and is the SB LIX MVP.

You're not crazy. They'd do a "give" to Kelce running to his right, keep pulling Gray to the left side of the formation, and then throw it to Mahomes with, presumably, Gray in front of him to block.

Or, if you want to get really nuts, you have Worthy come in motion from the right side of the formation, Kelce pitches it to him running to the left of the formation, and HE throws it to Mahomes.

That might be easier to pull off. Gives you more space to make the throw and gets it to a player whose momentum would be going the correct way.

And if the Eagles cover it up, you now have the fastest player on the field screaming across the formation at full speed (and the Eagles probably slow-playing following him just a little bit because of corn dog memories?)

Gonna be a fun offseason to talk about it this bc the Chiefs have to use their 1st if they want any of those guys and man I’m just not entirely sold on a 1st for a RB again.

Especially when this DL class looks awesome

What’s the significance here? What surface do they have in the SuperDome?

It may not mean a damn thing but here are the scores after Philly had a two week break this season.

1. 20-16 win vs The Browns after their bye

2. 22-10 win vs The Packers on wildcard weekend

They weren't great offensively both times. Infact in both games they only scored two TD's and struggled a lot on 3rd down.

I don't think they've done any direct snaps out of that formation lately to Kecle, either... one that vaguely comes to.mind was earlier this season, I think.

Direct snap to Kelce, Mahomes rolls out like he was in the AFCCG, Kelce takes a step or two forward like he's running it or maybe play action, then find Mahomes.

Yeah, I keep going back and forth on this. If I could bring back one Chief legend into this offense, would I take Tyreek Hill or Jamaal Charles?

Jeanty, Hampton, Johnson, and those 2 aren't all going in the first 50 picks. You do this every single year LMAO

This RB class is ****ing loaded. Somebody is going to fall outside of the top 50 and probably even all the way to 63/64.

Willie Roaf to massively upgrade two spots on the OL.

Then, I’d go Tyreek.

Then Jamaal.

Then probably Gonzalez as TE2. That tandem would be insane.

I'm pretty sure the New Orleans stadium is turf.
Unless this is another Arizona situation where they're bringing in new experimental grass that we don't know about.

Roaf is a good first choice. I was thinking skill positions.

The offense was dynamite with Tyreek but we've never seen Mahomes with a speedster at RB. Especially a good receiving back like Jamaal was who could run deeper routes if need be.

He wouldn't be my first choice, or even 5th, but it's fun to think about 12 personel with Kelce and Tony G.

Jamaal would upgrade RB more than Hill would upgrade WR.

I just can’t get past having a quartet of Hill, Worthy, Brown, Hopkins/Juju out there.

The Chiefs passing game was so damn good when Watkins was rarely healthy to go with Hill. I could only imagine it with guys like Worthy and Brown.

The Chiefs very much have a type for DL so you can literally go through and start making guys off narrowing that down a bunch.

Pretty sure Run is referring more to the DT group, and there are a ton of guys that would fit whether it be one DT spot or another.

No way in hell would I use a first rd pick on Hampton, Judkins or Johnson.

TreVeyon Henderson is far and away the best fit for this offense so he’s the only one I would take at 32.

It is a deep RB class though and I think one of Johnson or Neal will be right there at 64 or 66.

I mean the dude was a TD machine in the red zone. You could throw into coverage and he'd take the ball away from defenders. And he was a great blocker.

I'd take Roaf, Charles, and Hill over him for offensive players to bring back but only because we have more need at those positions.

Yeah, I rewatched highlights recently of the early playoff runs with Mahomes and forgot just how many big plays Watkins made (besides just the long TD against the Titans). Too bad he couldn't stay healthy long in his career.

Umm I wasn't advocating for that...

i mean hes still going to play through it no matter what i imagine but he's clearly not going to be 100%

I'd not take a RB in the first....I'd take another WR though.

What about a TE with high upside like Arroyo? He's going to be TE3 and in that late 1st convo by the time the process is over.

Eh, I'd entertain it but probably not. Kelce is coming back and the kid from TCu who's name escapes me.

Wiley…

That's a curious one. Prevent injuries? :shrug:

Yeah I take Charles to bring back and plug in this offense. Especially if you have rice, then it’s rice worthy Hopkins juju and brown with Kelce and absolute explosion in the backfield that would be unstoppable.

Illness spreading through the locker room, you say? :hmmm:

I’ve done several draft simulations and they have Membou available at 32 that’s who I’m taking. Although I’ve seen several mocks with him going higher too. Then you can probably get Henderson in the second.

I dunno about this report. I think this is click bait stream.

I like this idea…

I’ve been lurking Eagles forums/discussion this week. They of course believe they’ll win, and in dominant fashion, but similar to our concerns over Jalen Carter, there is a matchup they’re worried about.

Kelce. I’ve seen multiple Eagles folks argue that Blankenship is the best they have to cover him (otherwise they’re looking at Burks), but we saw Ertz put up 11/104 on Blankenship last week. Eagles fans believe this is still the best case scenario, because similar to Washington, devoting too much attention on our TE then opens up home run potential with Worthy or quick hitters to Brown. Buffalo put a lot of resources into shutting Kelce down, and we burned them time and time again for it.

To add to this, this game screams Noah Gray to me. It seems like the perfect game for him to take advantage of the soft underbelly of that D and give Pat quick outs if the pocket is collapsing on him. This game is primed for receivers who recognize open spots and settle in - something Gray has excelled at this year.

AIDS.

The Eagles have AIDS.

If TreVeyon Henderson runs in the 4.3’s like many here said that he should, at 5”10 215 lbs, then he’s gonna be a type of back similar to Jahmyr Gibbs in this offense.

The guy has incredible vision, elite caliber speed (on tape) and is a very good receiving back.

That would be worth it at 32 IMO

The rumor is from Fangio himself.

Don't believe a word he says.

It's not everyone is reporting it.

Cowboys pick him at 12 like Detroit did Gibbs.
