And especially Pat, knowing our o-line has been duct taped all year long, knowing he will be running for his life, knowing how physical the Eagles were last time he played against them and now knowing they are even better. He himself just didn't have it and tried to overcompensate as much as he could only to play poorly, throwing several pics, missing guys that were wide open, etc.

I dont agree with that assessment at all...
Chiefs had three weeks rest then two games then another two weeks off. If they were THAT compromised...it would have shown up against Houston. They had just played a top-tier DL in the Texans. Rams seemed OK playing that Eagles defensive front.
Chiefs primary starters played two games in a five week span...
Something else was off...it was like watching an entirely different team. Chiefs have top OL players...one guard isn't the same as the Tampa situation. It shouldn't wreck your entire game...it was like they were on drugs.
Reid's game plan was sketchy...I just leave it at that.
