Do you think Buffalo would have played a competitive game against the Eagles? If we didn't have the players as you put it, we shouldn't have beaten Buffalo either.
On paper, the Chiefs are a top 5 NFL team with talent. The Eagles may be number 1 but they're not that far ahead that this game was unwinnable from the opening whistle. We beat an arguably better Eagles team several years ago with a weaker overall Chiefs roster.
The Chiefs just played like they expected a coronation while the Eagles came ready for a fight. The coaching staff looked unprepared. Mahomes looked unprepared. It was ugly. But we're not TCU playing Georgia. It shouldn't have gone down like that.

It shouldn't have been a blowout, I agree.
But is that an indictment? Because that seems to be what some of you guys are suggesting. It's really odd.
