You paid seven million for an AirBNB? You must be loaded! /BroncoBuff

I don't know who that is. Last time I was here was our last Super Bowl meeting. I have great respect for this team. How many afc championships in a row? 2 lombardies in a row. That's amazing. Andy Reid is beloved here. I've met him on multiple occasions including once at the king of Prussia Home Depot. He was dragging two trashcans to his truck. Just like any other guy. It was a cool experience

We need Thuney to slide back to the inside for this one. They edge rushers are good but Carter and Williams are wrecking balls from the interior. It's a bit concerning.

I'll just leave this here...everyone is talking about how great the Eagles offense is...they are about to get shut down...this year in the 17 regular season games, they played one team (yes one team) that was inside the top 10 of total defense and that team was the Packers in week 1...they have not seen a defense like the Chiefs this year...

Conversely, PM15 and his offense have faced four teams inside the top 10 in total defense.

Coronation?

If Saquan goes wild, our goose is cooked. We can't get down 10-14 against the Eagles D. They are fantastic.

We need to control the tempo and have long drives that end in TDs.

1. No turnovers
2. No injuries
3. Stop Saquan
4. Stop the crossing patterns as our LB coverage is a weak spot. Goedert could hurt us a lot if not careful.

I know Hurts can drop some dimes but I don't think he can carry the team.

Gonna be a real tough game. Expecting Andy and Spags to pull out some surprises.

The stats suggest the Eagles aren't as good as they were two years ago. Defense has declined (despite still being the best in the league this year) and the offense hasn't been close to as dominant as well. They pose the biggest threat we could have faced in the NFC, but it's nothing Mahomes and this team hasn't handled before.

He was 10th in QBR this year (12th last year, 4th two years ago). He's more like upper mid-tier with Herbert/Mayfield/Murray.

He's been playing hurt for a while now, but with two weeks to rest he may get some of his running ability back. We have to stop Barkley first, but this isn't a guy you can just completely disrespect as a passer. Not after the SB game he had two years ago.

Baun is just like Leo in that he’s a monster stopping the run (15 stuffs, 11 TFL, 151 tackles) but he’s not that good in pass coverage (4 PD’s, 0 INT).

He’s nowhere near as athletic as Leo. 4.65 40 and a 2.74 20 yard split.

I think he’s gonna get picked on in pass pro.

**** off. Womble for one hates America. I for another hate Philadelphia.

I don't remember McCaffrey going crazy against us in the SB last year. He was playing at the same level Barkley played all year this season. MVP caliber. We contained him just enough. Of course, Shanahan doesn't stay committed to the run when playing ahead. Another reason we don't want to get behind.

This defense is lights out compared to what they were 3 years ago. They don't blitz because they bring pressure with their front four. The addition of Mitchell cooper de Jean has changed this offense. Jalen Carter might be the best defensive player in the NFL. He is unstoppable! It's hard to judge being in different time zones. We don't get to see each other very often. The Eagles Focus needs to limit Kelce. Ertz killed us last night.

Bro doesn't understand that Reid/Mahomes destroyed Fangio's scheme repeatedly...

McCaffery is no Barkley and didn't sniff 2000 yards. Barley needs 30 yards to be the NFLs leading rusher surpassing Terrel Davis. Mcaffery is good, Barkley behind that Oline is a home run hitter.

I felt the last time we played the Eagles their "historic" defense was a fugazi and overrated. I don't know that I feel that way this time because of so many ascending players that they have.

I am not scared of Fangio though, at all. Mahomes seems to own him.

Yep

Beat me to it.

You're right. Why play the game. You already won it! Congrats!!! lol we are going to find out!

The only touchdown McCaffrey got against us in the SB was off a trick play...and if memory serves correctly, there should have been a flag on the play for ineligible man downfield.

To be fair, Barkeley has almost 500 yards more rushing than CMAC did last year.

That's correct.

This is how this is gonna go, the Chiefs are going to move the ball because they understand how to stress that scheme, regardless of the players.

The D is gonna take Barkley away and make Jalen Hurts beat them, is today's Hurts capable of going play for play with Mahomes?

Yes, yes, here we go.

Look at what we did! We're so much better than before! Our fans are the best! You are REALLY gonna find out this time!!!!

Every ****ing year...It's like Groundhog Day with opposing playoff fans on this site LMAO

In 2 of the 3 Eagles losses this year Saquon had less than 100 yards on the ground and no TD’s. They average 18 points in those games.

We know what we need to do

Um, McCaffery had over 2000 yards from scrimmage just last year.

And he had 2392 yards in 2019, in Carolina.

Karlaftis is held on that play too. He diagnoses the trick play and then clearly gets interfered with.

He was also in an offensive scheme that required you to prepare for more than 15 plays.

Weird thing about running backs, when you give them a shit ton of carries, they can rack up a lot of yards in the process... like the 75 more carries by Barkley this year than McCaffery last season.

This is the level of Xs and Os you wanted to get into, huh?

Riveting stuff.

Bring on 2 weeks of bulletin board material from the media claiming Philly is unbeatable. It can help fuel the fire for the Chiefs.

Would you rather talk amongst yourselves tooting each others horns? You don't want an opposing point of view? I love your overconfidence! Why shouldn't you be confident. Your team (not you) has won 2 lombardies in a row and been in what 7 afc championships? I'm looking forward to this game. It's a redemption.
Game for the Birds. I'm looking forward to it.

Your coach fights fans on the sidelines.

Your best WR reads books on the sidelines and is a drama queen.

Your QB, while a great guy, is limited when you know they have to pass.

You are going up against the best coach in the league, the best QB in the league, the best TE ever, the best d coordinator ever. Why would the Eagles win?

This board is a quarter century old.

In that time, we've had maybe a DOZEN opposing fans genuinely interested in discussing things.

You will have to forgive us if you're being held to a standard set by literally thousands of idiots that came before you.

Shit, we don't like each other most of the time. ROFL

How many 60 yard plus runs did mcaffery have? I think he has 8. Dickerson had what 75 more carries than Barkley and ahead by 101. Those x's and 0's count too. Think about that. He needed 100 yards to break the record that has sat for 40 years. That's amazing!

I know! 🤣

Hey I get it. We get them too only worse. We get cowboys fans lol. I guess maybe raiders fans would be the equivalent?

YES

NO

I'm anything but overconfident. I just DGAF about hearing your thoughts. I can get better analysis on the Eagles anywhere on the net that will lap your stupid takes.

Good for you. Now go chug a 5 gallon bucket of antifreeze.

The team from 2 years ago didn’t blitz, either. It ran 4-man pressures and relied on a deep front four. They led the league in sacks by a big margin and that was why they were supposed to kill KC. Mitchell and De Jean are good, but let’s not act like they’re a pair of Sauce Gardners as rookies. The Eagles also had a pretty good trio of CB in the last matchup, and KC had less at receiver (by a fair bit).

The second level of the Eagles defense can still be picked on. Your LB aren’t good in coverage, especially Baun.

I respect the Eagles front, and Gardner-Johnson is a good and physical safety.

I don’t think people understand how much better this receiving corps is than what KC has had in the past, because KC just hasn’t had everyone available much.

Bengals fans are by far the worst now but we've been through many cycles. Jets fans when we hired Herm, Patriots fans of course, and we even got invaded by Alex Smith fans at one point.

Why didn’t you show your face here after the Eagles lost that Super Bowl?

You haven’t posted since January 31, 2023… until your re-emergence today.

That should be an automatic ban.

Bills fans in 2020-2021... they get the shortest leash because they're the butt ****ingest morons of them all. They registered something like 40 or 50 accounts one of those postseasons and they were all unfathomably reeruned (and who the hell knows, half of them could have been that Fig dipshit or dix... or maybe they were the same? Hell, I don't remember).

Yet you're responding to them. You're not very smart are you?

The game was over! That was a
Great Super Bowl. We lost you won. We get to
Replay it.

@Verse234 right now...

What's wrong with Jalen's knee?

Translation: You were too gutless to show up here after an Eagles loss.

LMAO

Looks like you missed one, here are those Xs and Os you wanted to talk about...

We had Bradbury as the corner that got called
For the interference. We had no lbs on that team. We are missing a big one in Dean. Carter is lights out better than either Cox or what's his name that want to the niners (drawling a blank) on that team our starting end were better but Mitchell has been a shut down corner and Cooper changed the defense. Its a much better D. Kelce is key. Ertz ate us up last night. He worries me

how's your special teams?

Browns, Cowboys, Steelers, and Bucs all held Barkely to under 100 yards. Spags is going to have to check out what those defenses did...

Mahomes played that Super Bowl on one leg… and still put a clown suit on the Eagles defense… with Vic Fangio as a “consultant”, by throwing to the likes of Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore.

why did you barely beat the Rams?

I have a pretty simple prediction.

Near the end of the game, Hurts will need to make a big throw to put the Chiefs away.

If he doesn’t, the Chiefs will win the Super Bowl.

Phili d-line doesn’t look anywhere close to what they had in 22.

If Mahomes gets time he will carve Philly up

We are going to win. Skip Bayless says we will lose and he’s the biggest idiot in sports media so we have to win.

The Chiefs have hurt Skippy’s mangina… a concept he’s apparently very familiar with judging by recent litigation against him.

Bradberry/Slay/Maddox was a really good trio of corners. Maddox was viewed as a top slot corner that year. Slay and Bradberry were crafty, physical veterans who had both had great years.

Acting like the Eagles’ secondary was not good that year is revisionist.

And Brown, Worthy, Hopkins, Smith-Schuster is a much better WR group than the Eagles had to defend, too. I mean, Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney got snaps for that squad and ****ing Valdes-Scantling was their #2 option.

Jalen Carter is different, yes, and he’s a good player. But this version of him and that version of Hargrove are a wash. The Eagles edge personnel is a step down.

Barkley is a personnel upgrade at RB, and his explosiveness is an X factor. I don’t think that OL is quite as good - missing a HoF player in the middle will do that - and Hurts hasn’t been as good since that game (where he was amazing).

I think it will be close and be a good game. But I don’t see Eagles fans getting revenge.

Skip should have worn his Cowboys hat while giving that speech. Aside from Skip, it really does blow my mind how many people hate the Chiefs so thoroughly that they are willing to root for their division rivals to win championships if it means the Chiefs don't.

At no time during the Patriots dynasty would I have been rooting for the Broncos to beat them in an AFC Championship game. But all last week there were fans of non-Bills AFC East teams that were desperately hoping to see Buffalo win. We'll probably hear from more NFC East rivals rooting for the Eagles as well. Just doesn't compute for me.

Mailata struggled with Jared Verse's power in the divisional.

Look for Chris Jones to work the tackles throughout this game every chance he gets. He is the one kind of player who is like a trump card to those two All-Pro players.

I’m not sure if they’re better or worse but they are a little different and it’s mainly Barkley and Jalen Carter. Their pass rush isn’t as fierce as it was then but their secondary seems better, though their CBs are young. Obviously going from Miles Sanders or whoever to Barkley is a massive jump.

Their interior pass rush concerns me the most with our relatively vulnerable guards and they’ve got great speed coming off the edge. That could be an issue, but I trust Reid and Mahomes to have something special to put inexperienced guys like Baun, Mitchell and Dejean in the blender.

On the other hand, I actually think we’re better than we were then.

Hunt>Pacheco

Worthy, Hollywood and Juju>Juju, MVS, and Toney

OL, pass rush and LBs are about the same, I reckon. If anything I’d give the 2024 squads the edge because they’re mostly the same guys with more experience now.

Kelce was better back then, for sure, and having Sneed, McDuffie and Watson is better than McDuffie, Watson, and Nazeeh/Conner.

2022 Mahomes was also better in general but playoff Mahomes is playoff Mahomes.

The key will be Hurts. We cannot allow him to have another career day.

2022 Mahomes was ****ing HURT.

We're going to threepeat.

Philly?

Much like their QB it suks baows.

Four.

We're winning FOUR straight super bowls.

I'm just not even remotely nervous about this one. I think we'd have to choke it away to lose to Hurts.

I don't think Chiefs fans realize how bad he's been since the SB. He hasn't been remotely the same since.

Patrick Lavon Mahomes II will not let Jalen ****ing Hurts keep him from making history in 2 weeks.

Remember when we played the Eagles the last time and they brought in Vic Fangio as a defensive consultant and we scored 38 on them?!


That was cool.

I don't think these Eagles are any better than last year's 49ers or Ravens.

Eagles d-line just doesn’t scare me.

There’s no Hasson Reddick and his 16 sacks flying off the edge like there was in 22. Mahomes should have time, and if he does he’s going to light up the Eagles

That's a great point and an idea I suspect they'll work with.

Jones lined up on Dawkins a lot last night. I think you can look for that to continue.

Is Hurts dangerous enough on the zone read right now to exploit Jones at RE if that's where he spends a good portion of time?

Jalen Carter vs Caliendo scares me.

We need to have plans to not let him take over.

Agreed. I think they're the worst team we've played in the SB yet.

They struggled with a depleted Packers team with Love playing his worst football. Got bailed out by bad weather against a Rams team that nobody had as a contender. Their best playoff performance came against probably the worst defense in the playoffs and a team that turned the ball over 4 times (or was it 5?).

Jalen might be the worst QB we face in the SB. And I think this version is worse than the last one.

I don’t see any way he does what he did last time. That was clear outlier.

The Eagles offense has looked very off last month or so.


Their playbook as I mentioned in the NFC Champ thread looks like it was designed for Timothy Tebow.

I posted this a few weeks ago but with the injuries to the Eagles o-line, I think it's pretty relevant now.

Barkley leads the league in yards before contact by a pretty wide margin. In fact, his YBC is up almost TWO FULL YARDS from last year.

A.J. Brown is so frustrated he's reading on the sidelines during the game in the most passive agressive way imaginable LMAO

We’re going to do what we did last time and last night. Spam the ever living **** out of RPO’s and utilize Worthy/Hollywood obliterating the middle of the field and when they try to cover it we go over the top to Hopkins or Juju

Brady mentioned that Hurts needs to throw the ball faster.

Fangio is their d coord.

He’s prob going to keep safeties high with that shell look

We will score at will on that.


o:-)

Yeah, if the weather wasn't such a factor for the Rams/Eagles game, I think the Chiefs are playing the Rams and McVay in the Super Bowl. (And I'd actually be a little more nervous about that matchup than I am here).

Yep.

Rams outplayed them

And we’ll still destroy the middle of the field.

An undersized speed rusher and average DE is not going to put heavy pressure on Mahomes. They’re gonna rely on blitzing and Jalen Carter winning a ton which won’t happen.
