The Eagles have been frosted ass since Reich left.

Yes, the Eagles could be a tough out and they have talent, even though their record may not reflect their talent.

The Pats really need to keep things clean and not have any dump penalties. Some of the bonehead penalties against Baltimore gave up points.

We do not have that much margin for error to commit those kind, and number, of penalties and win.

Thats one reason for sure. Dudes just a good coach.

Their D and running game isn't as good as they were when they played us in the SB.

The penalties were horrible.

Nice that they actually got called for some

Amazing what happens when they actually call the penalties NE commits...

New Englsnd barely scores on an average as **** Ravens defense without a few fluke turnovers. Not good in their only test so far

Patriots are basically 0-1 on the season

On paper, the Eagles present plenty of problems for the Pats. Howard is a big physical RB, averaging 4.4yards/carry, and we know now that the Patriots have a problem stopping the run. Particularly up front; their DL is consistently getting little to no penetration and they are getting dominated at the point of attack.

M. Sanders also is performing well, posting the same 4.4/carry. And recently the Eagles got Sproles back on the field, and everyone knows about Sproles.

The problem is that I don't think the Eagles have been using those guys as well as they could have, which makes me wonder if they will against the Patriots.

Pederson is a pretty smart guy, he has to know that the run game is where he needs to make his butter, but it's going to be about execution. He can't really replicate what the Ravens did, as he's just not going to expose Wentz to that kind of beating.

We'll see how it shakes out, but I expect to see some sophisticated run plays with a lot of misdirection to start the game.

The Eagles are a little thin at WR going into the game, which might be a real concern if they can't get their running game going early. And honestly, outside of Jackson, who isn't going to play, I'm not terribly impressed with the PHI receiving corps. But on paper, Jeffrey, Agholor, and Hollins, present serious issues for the Patriots secondary. If Wentz can get them the ball. And if they can catch. Without Zach Ertz, the Eagles passing attack might be kind of pathetic this season.

But Ertz is there, and he's been very good this year. And the Patriots have shown that along with their run defense problems, they have a problem covering fast TEs. Their LBs simply don't match-up well with Ertz going wide. And I'm not sure he can be covered with a safety.

It's going to come down to which team makes fewer mistakes, IMO. The Eagles have the tools to win this one, even win going away. But they are also a team that has wallowed at times in making mental mistakes in just about every contest they've been in this year.

Yes, horrible and timing worse. One thing the Pats try to avoid and almost always do, but this time it did not happen.

Nice write up.

Generally games come down to who makes the fewest mistakes and i do not see this game being much different.

Phila i think is better than their record.

Pats can not afford to make the same number of mistakes it did against Baltimore. I am confident that they will not repeat the same performance, but time will tell.

We will see if the Pats will adjust the personal to deal with the running game, my guess that they will, and we will see how effective it is a week from Sunday.

I thought the @Balt and @Phila would be the toughest tests as well as home against KC.

Be nice of Harry can help with some snaps.

Should be a fun game between Phila and NE

My general dislike of the Patriots aside, it's a fact that Bill Belichick's Patriots make very few mental mistakes, game to game, season in season out. They're very 'Terminator'-like in that regard. If there's a weakness to the Chiefs that I've consistently pointed to over the last 40 years, it's been a lack of mental discipline. Fortunately, they seem to finally learning how to be tougher in the brainpan.

PHI will probably make some mental blunders, was my point. If I could, I'd bet money on it. They are that predictable in that respect. The only question that remains is how much will it cost them in the game. Because there's almost no way that the Patriots don't take advantage of whatever dumbass-ery the Eagles end up doing.

One last thought: were I Pederson I would game plan to run the ball at least 20 times in the first half. The DL is where the Pats D is weakest. push them around, wear them out, frustrate them and they will start making mistakes, which is the path to victory for the Eagles. And the Cowboys when their turn comes up.

Generally speaking Wentz takes pretty good care of the football. Thats the 1st thing I look for vs the NEP. Plus hes running a bit more this year which is another concern as now teams will look to exploit that a little.

I admit I haven't spent a lot of time watching Wentz this year, so this comment may be erroneous.

But in the past Wentz has shown a tendency to hold onto the ball, looking for (I assume) 2nd and 3rd windows. Trying to make a big play. This is not a good idea against the Patriots. The way they beat the Pats in the SB was mostly on first and second reads, getting the ball out relatively quickly.

If Wentz spends 4 and 5 seconds back there looking for a big play against the Pats, I expect him to either get sacked or throw the ball into coverage.

Again, if he's fixed this issue, then ignore this post.

Yes the Pats like to have players that are mentally tough and disciplined, as opposed to raw talent, if one has to choose between the two.

BB stresses that one single play could make the difference between winning and losing, and given the salary cap, talent levels are so close that this is more critical.

Unless a player has a solid resume of being disciplined while playing with the team, BB has no problem with cutting players if they make a mistake. He does not always do it, but he has done it before.

Time will tell if the Pats can improve their play from the Baltimore game.

The Pats have been playing a lot of sets with limited down linemen on defense, my guess would be they will adjust this to deal with a run game.

Should be a fun game.

I don't think you are wrong. Thats actually what a QB should do vs us as more often than not the 1st option will be taken away.

Whether Wentz can do it vs our DBs is a different topic.

I think they are going to pound away at us.

Some of them.

This is a good case study.

Mahomes has not had a defense in his life and still carried teams to wins and a Dee Ford **** up from a SB.

Brady has the same type of defense in this game and gets his shit pushed in.

I rest my case

lamar jackson is little more than 4.3 mark sanchez, propped up by D because he's an average passer

That Raven D is average, but so is NEs offense...actually below average by advanced metrics. Propped by fluke turnovers against bad QBs. Hell Jackson can't throw either...

I actually like Jackson. Sure he's still learning some stuff, but I think he looks like he continues to make better choices after learning from a mistake. I think he was an average decision maker but a pretty good passer, and we'll see over time if he can keep improving the decisions.

he doesn't have a lot of consistent accuracy is his main problem - don't think it's developing at this point in year two

he'll always be mahomes bitch

Lamar Jackson was rushing an average of 17 times/game last year. This year it's 12 times/game.

Last year his completion % was about 58% for 7.1 yards/attempt.

This year his comp% is 64.3%, and he started the season above 70%. His yards/attempt is 7.6.

He's running less and throwing more for more yards and a higher completion percentage.

He still has a long way to go to be a true passer, but he's trending in the right direction. Next year he may only run 5-7 times in a game and throw for a 66% completion percentage and close in on 8 yards/attempt.

That happens, and he'll be a real long-term threat in the league. Still not Mahomes or even Watson, but just under that tier.

Go **** yourself. In the meantime congratulate yourself that you’re the first person I’ve ever put on ignore.

I’m sure the BAG of dicks was easy for you.

LMAO

Oh, and don't you ****ing reply, clown, we all know you're peeking!

ROFL

NE fan comes to a Chiefs board and gets butthurt...you really showed him!!!

How about every NE fan, here, puts themselves on ignore? That way we can continue to talk about football...and not fake dynasties propped up due to nepotism, favoritism and marketing.

I associate Patriots inc. more with Goldman Sachs, Monsanto and Walmart than an actual football team. Use your power/influence to skirt the system and maximize profits....the "Patriot (Kraft) Way".

It's not too far off where corporations will start buying football teams....The Walmart Exploiters from San Antonio VS. the Uber Union Busters from ChIcago....and all the way from China...the Beijing Sweatshoppers

Then why do you even watch?

To see who wins the script

I feel so bad for Brady, poor guy never has a good defense....

So you honestly believe Jerry Jones is ok with no even going to the Super Bowl once in like 25 years? That makes some kind of sense to you?

That Arthur Blank enjoyed being humiliated while standing on the sidleines as his team's SB victory slowly bled away?

That so many teams have just done so little for so long?

Dan Snyder on board with this? Think he enjoys spending his money to field shitty teams every year?

This makes any kind of sense to you at all?

My answer to all of those questions:

Absolutely

You logic was impeccable until you mentioned Snyder. That lunatic is either obviously trying to construct the worst most dysfunctional team ever fielded, or he's a moron of epic proportions.

Ditto the Jets and the Browns.LMAO

His comments had nothing to do with football. You know this, but you’re a dickhead too.

Imagine making fun of the terrorist activities during the Boston marathon…

How the hell can you justify this? You would have to be insane.

I guess we know the answer.

We?

Then congratulations, you've proven yourself stupid. Not that we need help with that of course -- it's kinda self-apparent.

He's a guy with money but no patience and no understanding of how to build a football team. It's not that hard. Just because you're good at one thing that makes you money doesn't mean you're good at building a successful football team.

And the more he fails, the more desperate he gets. And desperate people make even worse decisions, and have less patience...

Why the hell would he just spend money like crazy to fail? He could go cheap and do that and make alot more bank...

You're the stupidest troll any message board has seen, I'm surprised you are still around.

Ha..Ha...Ha... GloryDayz goes Raven on your pathetic ass and you cower just like your team did the first time they played a good team. Typical. LMAO

System quarterback.

Guy is top three lifetime in basically every good NFL QB stat you can name. You know that right? From TD/INT Ratio to TDs to Yards.

You forgot SB appearances and regular season wins gifted by the officials...he definitely leads both by a 3:1 ratio.

His coddled ass should have been kissing boys at his February home...the last 2 SBs.

:D

The guy is the dumbest owner in the league, aside from the guy that owns the Browns. I would normally never say anything like this, but I'm CERTAIN I could be a better GM than anyone they've had in the last ten years?

Ditto the Jets . . . pretty certain the Browns would be a lot better right now if they'd just let me make the HC hire instead of Dorsey.

Come on... I've been a Chiefs fan for nearly 50 years but it's intellectually dishonest to say that Brady is not the GOAT... Stats and Rings are in his favor no matter how much we wish otherwise and it pains me to say that...

How many rings would Trent Green have if we ha swapped divisions in 2000?

So he has the rings, but GOAT should have some form of "plays in the AFC East division" disclaimer tag on it. If for no other reason than they simply don't enter the 2nd half of the season with barely a bump or bruise..

Not BB, he is the GOAT. He made child's play of the NFL's least talented division, and ultimately the whole NFL with his willingness to play the games within the game that few others ever would. Plus, he's ruthless to all but a few of his player, never their friend, and let's them know they're expendable and will be gone if they don't risk their health on every play. I like the man personally..

Explains why he's always such a bitter bitch all the time.

Ever see a banner like this for Montana? Favre?...nope.

Lol...So a Colts fan (a team whose balls were also deflated in same game) holds a sign and that's your proof? A Colts team caught red handed piping noise into thier stadium also BTW. Chiefs fans can't hold those signs, it's documented fact thier team was filming signals along with Colts. Montana's 49ers? Notorious in thier cheating. Walsh famously would wink at the end of games when coaches shook hands saying "just a little gamesmanship", usually after headsets would go out constantly. Nevermind thier best all time receiver admitting to using stickum his whole career, along with the multiple salary cap violations.

Pat's win because they are the best coached and quarterbacked team of all-time. Thier cheating is overly exaggerated because of thier fame from all the winning.

Bill Belichick is the biggest cheater of all time. Brady takes HGH and loves small balls. Kraft goes to child sex islands. The Patriots have been proven to all dope up on steroids and run oil on their genitals while Brady shows Kraft pictures of him kissing his son to get Kraft off.
