Let's Talk About the Eagles

It also is fortunate that both Hurts and Goedert are injured, Particularly Goedert, who broke his arm or something and won't be available at all.

But PHI has the ability to just run the ball if they want to, and they will just hand off 40+ times if it's working. I would be concerned that they might try something like that, but I have a feeling that Siriani has something to prove, and won't lean on their run game like that against KC, probably to his ultimate detriment.

If they do, well, I guess we'll find out how good our run defense plays without Bolton.

I just don't think Sirianni is a particularly great coach.

I think he's fine, I don't think he's a disaster or anything. But Reid/Bienemy/Spags ran circles around his entire coaching staff in the Super Bowl. The only reason the Eagles kept that close is because Hurts became Superman.

So I do think it would be a problem for the Chiefs if the Eagles just tried to run on us all game. It just wouldn't remotely surprise me if they opted to keep airing it out against a Chiefs defense built for offenses who air it out.

The Chiefs just put the clamps on the best WR combo in the league. Brown/Smith is not far behind that, but the Chiefs D is going to put clamps on them, too.
