Not trying to be cocky but I just don’t see what these other analyst see. This isn’t a better team than the 2022 Eagles and Hurts isn’t gonna play as well as he did that game.
Quinyon is an incredibly corner and DeJean has been a really nice player, but the Chiefs are 5 deep. Kelce, Worthy, Hollywood, Hopkins, Juju. They cannot cover all of them. And just like the Bills game, somebody will be open. Andy has a real WR room this year to utilize his offense in 11 personnel.
The game is gonna come down to the Eagles front 4. If they don’t get heat on Mahomes consistently they have no chance. Zero. This is not Hunter/Anderson. It’s very similar to Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau and 35 yer old Von Miller.
I don’t see a smaller speed rushing Nolan Smith or good but not great Josh Sweat giving Taylor/Thuney a ton of problems. And I think Creed is going to help double Carter since Fangio’s philosophy is to not blitz. And I can almost gauranteed Fangio is not blitzing. He did that last year with the Dolphins and Mahomes destroyed him.
It’s the worst team overall we’ve played in the SB. Weakest pass rush and weakest QB (Hurts hasn’t been good this year passing) alone make this the case.
The Bills were the same type of team. Same offensive and defensive philosophy. The difference is Josh Allen was able to hit on a lot of throws that I don’t think Hurts will hit this time.
I think the Chiefs finally win a SB without stressing us the **** out at the very end. Maybe I’m wrong. But I don’t think so.
