And if the Eagles keep hanging around, we transition towards more Cover 1. I don't expect to see much Cover 2 unless the Eagles really fall behind. We'll show some of it, but what we show pre-snap and what we actually do are going to be different animals.

I believe the Bills when we played them (given their health at the time and how they were playing) were the best team we’ve seen all year by a solid margin. That would include the Eagles.
Am I wrong? That team was different before the injuries, especially along their DL.

On top of that I think our coaching staff is far superior and the Eagles have enjoyed playing with the lead most of the season. I feel like Spags is has the perfect game plan for this team. (What we need to do is what he excels at anyhow). On top of that we've read about the Eagles refusing to adapt on defense and their tendency to gamble/jump routes and we know that's not gonna work well against Mahomes. In addition to that Andy has had to weeks to plan for that defense, so we know he'll have the team well prepared. I can definitely see a scenario where we get a little lead and blitz the shit out of Hurts, get him rattled and he starts pressing and turns the ball over resulting in a fairly comfortable win for us. What I can't really see is a scenario where the Eagles jump out ahead to an insurmountable lead. Hell, I don't even know what an insurmountable deficit looks like for the Chiefs. They've shown they can rally like no other team with Mahomes. At the beginning of each NFL season I put a little fun money in my Bovada account and make some bets during the season until it runs out. I NEVER bet on Chiefs games, but this game I'm going to move some money over and make a decent little bet on the KC money line. I can't believe we're still dogs in this game. |

Around the Horn is on at the business I’m at. I forgot how stupid sports talk had become on ESPN. This is the dumbest discussion I’ve heard in awhile.
Every point they make is stupid.

I think Spags is going to show pressure early in this one. Hurts is bottom tier when pressured. Spags might send a two or three blitzes after the first PHI drive. See if he can rattle him, especially since it's Hurts' first SB, and he's going to have some early game jitters. See if he can't generate either a quick 3-and-out or a turnover in the first half.
Offensively, obviously we all expect to see some screens early. But I think we might see some TE/WR screens more than RB screens early on, because Andy would have to expect PHI to be looking for screens to McKinnon, so why not make McKinnon the distraction and go the other way to either Skyy or Toney (obviously Kelce will likely get a screen pass or two at some point)? I'm really interested to see if Andy spends any time trying to get the running game going early. My gut says probably not, but it might be pretty effective early.

Not big Florio fan but he really gave me goosebumps with his game prediction. Laying it down, Patrick is THE man. THE one and only.
Florio’s take: For the first time since 2017, both No. 1 seeds have advanced to the Super Bowl. And, on paper, the Eagles are just a little bit better than the Chiefs. But the Chiefs have the one thing the Eagles don’t. As in one-five. 15. Patrick Mahomes. Five straight AFC Championships at home. Three Super Bowl appearances. And, if he’s ever going to come close to Tom Brady‘s seven titles, it’s time to get No. 2. The ankle is more than good enough. The team around him is more than good enough. Unless the Eagles methodically suffocate the Chiefs with the running game and in turn get to Mahomes and sack him repeatedly, this one should be close and it should be exciting and it should come down to the wire with the Chiefs finding a way to pull it off. Kansas City has fought through more adversity than the Eagles, especially in the playoffs. That matters. Kansas City also has the experience edge in the Super Bowl. That matter’s, too. What matters most is the presence of the best quarterback in football, a sure-fire Hall of Famer who may eventually earn a spot in the Canton Upper Room proposed by Deion Sanders. Mahomes. The Magic Man. The man among boys. The guy who finds a way to move the ball, to score points, and to do it in a way that is always far more entertaining than anything anyone else can muster. It’s time to win his second. On his way to possibly more. Florio’s pick: Chiefs 27, Eagles 24. |

Around the Horn is just a sports-themed gameshow. Almost never any good insight in that show. The should have a disclaimer "for entertainment purposes only."
