Fat fingered trying to #15 it.... lol

To use the Eagles DC's quote against him... "we're going to gut these" birds.

Have folks discussed the news that several of our defenders are battling illness? Heard that on the radio today.

they're going to be so hopped on drugs during this game nothing will matter

you might see chris jones start foaming at the mouth

They would be listed on the injury report if it was affecting their practice participation or potential game availability and no one is listed so all is fine.

The US is bookend with a green bird at each coast. The one on the west is one for three in Super Bowls. The one on the east is one for tthree so far

Chris Jones sounded terrible in his little MVP speech to Mahomes. Andy Reid also sounds terrible.

It would be sickening, no pun intended, to lose because a local sports radio person got the Chiefs sick.

The media talking heads are all in on Philadelphia and so is the public. I was at lunch yesterday and overheard a table discussing how unstoppable the Eagles are.

Nah. They played Dak Prescott! /Eaglefan

That dude was no true Eagle fan. This is their fourth and Donnie was horrible. Rumor has it he partied a bit too much the night before.

Watson was sick two weeks ago. I would imagine they're all use to the croop

I save it for when we really need it.
Duh.

JFC Jones was sick 2 days ago now and not a single player has missed practice due to illness or even been limited.

On top of that, the game isn't even until Sunday. ****ing relax.

I am weirdly calm again for this game as I was before the AFC championship. Another win is incoming

Same. Felt this way right before SB54. Just felt like we had nothing to lose. Obviously ill be a wreck during the game, but right now I'm on cloud nine.

Holtus?

Found this interesting statement on Jerick McKinnon:

McKinnon’s rushing numbers don’t pop—72 carries, 291 yards, one touchdown—but that’s never been the case. However, he has in ways been the Tyreek Hill replacement in the passing offense that the Chiefs needed and posted career-bests of 56 catches, 512 yards, and nine touchdowns.

Jerick McKinnon caught more touchdowns this season than Justin Jefferson, Jaylen Waddle, Tee Higgins, DeVonta Smith, DK Metcalf, Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Brandon Aiyuk, and yep, Tyreek Hill.

What’s the word on Sneed

He’s good.

He'll be ok

I really think, given the Eagles ferocious front four-and make no mistake-they ARE formidable-

I really think that the difference in this game will be Pacheco and Mckinnon.

This thread has convinced me there's no reason to even watch the game. We'll be leading by so much at halftime that I'll even enjoy Rihanna's performance.

The armada is coming in for the WIN…

Go watch some ESPN or NFLN. You'll go back to feeling like the Chiefs have no chance.

Yeah I think we're being pretty homer-ish in this thread. I maintain that it'll be close and a 1-score game going late into the 4th quarter.

I don't know about the rest of the country but there's some sh*t going around here in AZ. Just about everyone we know has been sick the past few months. I myself just finished off 2 days of vomiting and diarrhea followed by a head cold chaser. The good thing is the Eagles are exposed too.

Had a family member go through this exact thing. Turns out she has COVID.

A Mahomes Winter is Coming for the Eagles this Sunday.......

LOL if it were that easy, every QB in the league would be doing it.
32 co-MVPs

COVID spread in America right after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2020. Maybe we win right before another pandemic. It's a sign from above.

Worth it.

The main question that anyone should be asking when it comes to this game.

If the Eagles get down...can Hurts lead a passing attack to bring them back and win them the game? We know Mahomes can because he's shown it time and time again.

The only shot the Eagles have is that they get out to a big enough lead and our offense falters.

My thoughts too. Hopefully our 20 or so scripted plays result in 4 TD's lol

Two SBs two tragedies, it's the other side's turn(copter-car)

I remember thanking my lucky stars that all took place AFTER...

Not a question I'm asking because I already know the answer.

If they get down double digits, they're cooked.

That's the major distinction here - the Chiefs can play from in front or behind. The Eagles are built to play from ahead.

Most Chiefs fans are aware of that. The media is delusional as **** right now. MAYBE Hurts could do it if he was healthy but he isn't. If we get up 14-17 points...good ****ing luck.

In Eagles games that Hurts played in this season, they only trailed in four of those games… two were early 7-0 deficits to Detroit and Houston, they were down 14-0 early to Jacksonville, they trailed Indy 13-3 entering the 4th quarter, and they were down to Washington in the 2nd quarter (in the only game the Eagles lost with Hurts as their starting QB).

Otherwise Hurts has been able to play with leads… mostly big leads… for the majority of the season.

Chiefs offensive line, linebackers and corners are being severely disrespected. 70+ percent of these ESPN talking heads are picking the Eagles. Cliched response is always EAGLES WIN IN DA TRENCHES like it's 1952 and the Chiefs have Dick Vermeils defense.

AJ Brown and Devonta Smith are elite talents in the passing game, this isn't a Tennessee Titans situation, but I'm interested to see if the Chiefs take the ball if they win the coin toss for this reason. Even with that talent you'd probably rather try to get ahead of the Eagles and put some pressure on them for once, they haven't been in that situation a lot and it'd help take them out of their running game.

Patrick is going to complete a behind the back pass this game. I can feel it.

"We didn't see that one in practice..."

AJ Brown played on those Titans team and it was still a Tennessee Titans Situation. Smith's a little better than Corey Davis was at that time, but not substantially so.

The Eagles are closer to the '19 Titans than anyone will acknowledge, IMO.

Dial up the screen game to dial back their aggression. Make them think.

The only issue is that if they rush 4 and fall back into zone, the screen game won't work as well.

We've got to get them into the 5-man rush packages and make them man up for it to really be effective.

I wonder how they start out. Do they go balls-to-the-wall pass rush at first, or sit back in a zone? I tend to think the former, but who knows.

The Eagles just have a better TE than that Titans team did.

Andy giveth and taketh away with the screen game, IMO.

His screens are SO meticulous and so precisely timed that they're absolutely amazing when they work. But they're also not something you can just 'dust off', IMO.

They're thoroughbreds that need to be kept in shape and get constant exercise. They're not plowhorses that you can just throw out in the field when you need them.

I think we'll see some screens because we always do, but I'd be surprised if we go to them a lot more often than we typically do.

It's going to be an interesting chess match. If they come out with pressure, we all know how Pat operates agains the blitz. Do they focus on trying to limit the chunk plays instead?

I mean with this offense it's really pick your poison. Are they going to try to take away the deep stuff or are they going to try and force long drives? Either way, Mahomes is going to make them pay.

As soon as the Chiefs beat a team, you’ll notice the opinion of that team changes tremendously. Even Chiefs fans tend to think teams that the Chiefs beat just suck.

Jonnu Smith was really good that year, especially by the playoffs.

Sure, Goedert is better, but Jonnu Smith wasn't a hack by any stretch and in some ways actually offered a MORE dangerous big play threat.

"Oh sure, the 49ers had a good DL in 2019, but they didn't have 4 of them..."

Just ridiculous revisionist history. Ford - Armstead - Buckner - Bosa was evidently shite now.

They were better, and I'll die on that hill.

Rag arm Minshew impersonating Mahomes...


Ugh, suuuuuuure.

ROFL

Of COURSE they were.

I mean look at the stats for that team when it had Ford on the field. When they had that full group, they were ****ing monsters.

But now I'm supposed to pretend like that didn't happen. Or that the Chiefs haven't dominated better running games in the playoffs. Or that we didn't JUST hold down a way better WR corps than the Eagles have.

It just gets tiring to see folks hand-waive everything this team accomplishes.

They’ve been very susceptible to screens and quick plays this year.

It comes down to a few things.

1. Everyone has Chiefs fatigue

2. East coast media are tired of a team that isn't on the east coast being the team every year, and if it isn't them they'd at least like to go to California.

3. ESPN specifically has multiple guys on TV who came from the Philly media.

4. The media is 100% pandering to the larger east coast market and to the fact that they think most people watching this game will be rooting against the Chiefs.

Thanks for posting these.

Toney is going to break a bubble for a TD this game, isn't he?

There's more stuff on his page..

One of the ones that stands out is when the Eagles go 5-1 Dallas was hitting them with empty looks. The Eagles don't align their fronts to match personnel like most coaches...

Dallas was getting really easy completions off the look repeatedly.

Toney is the under the radar guy primed for a big game, I could easily see him finishing the game and people go wow dude had 7 catches for 115 yards and a td with 4 rushes for 38 yards.

They'd better.

Because even if they get the best of Andy/PM for a quarter, if they stay in a bear front the whole damn game, those two WILL unlock it and by the 4th quarter they'll be marching up and down the field.

Yup, he's the X factor in this one.

Yep.

Everything I've read is that the Eagles run their defense the way they run it and they don't make a lot of situational adjustments.

That's going to be a huge problem for them because the only real way to slow Mahomes down is to mix up coverages and rush packages so that he can't settle in. If they don't switch it up, it's going to be a long day for their defense.

God I hope he can stay healthy and just kill them the entire game.

Honestly I would think they try to blitz early and often. Even if Mahomes performs well against the blitz those hit take a toll and with his ankle situation the odds increase that he reaggravates it.

On the other side of it, if they feel confident emough to get home with 4 then they will have no reason to blitz.

This split back play is pretty awesome, I'd steal that.

I'd stay back early.

The only thing that can really slow down the Chiefs offense is poor execution, IMO. And if you start sending heat, you speed them up and may actually HELP them get locked in.

It's like a manager putting on a hit and run call when he has a hitter struggling. Now the hitter HAS to swing the bat and maybe he gets out of his own head and finds the barrel.

You blitz Mahomes early and you're going to immediately get him focused. And if that happens, you're boned.

McKinnon. He’s so good in the open field field.

He needs to get the ball

Exactly. The only way to really stop the Chiefs offense is to hope they get a holding call or similar that stifles a drive.

We've seen it - the Chiefs are the best team in the league at those 10-12 play drives, despite not being a real running team. It's all about efficiency and the Eagles really have to play to that. If they blitz him, they risk giving up a big play and they just can't afford that the way they play offense.

Quick question and was hoping to get your opinion. That 49er Dline was better than this Eagle's one for sure. Now looking at our OLine, we have a better interior than we did in that game while our T's are not as good now as Fisher/Schwartz.

So who do you feel had the bigger advantage? The 49er DLine vs that KC OLine? Or Philly's Dline vs. this Oline for KC? I think that might be a better gauge then a straight head to head comparison of the two Dlines.

All of this stuff Arizona is doing, this is what Spags does.

I'd rather have that OL vs. the 49ers DL than our present OL vs. the Eagles DL.

Interior lines are easier to find help for. You can help OTs, but you can't really just shade protection to do it. You have to actually use RBs and TEs to provide it most of the time.

I think you can be more pro-active in what you do when you have strong tackles than when you have a strong IOL.

Karlafits in coverage?

I said it before and I will say it again, if Philly does that then KC will shred them as Andy and Pat have two weeks to design ways to beat that defense. If that happens and KC wins their DC might not want to return to Philly after the game.
