lol. Ok. I don’t care what you think. I think you’re just upset because you know I’m right. But what I don’t get, is why what I said bothers you so much. A deep seated inferiority complex?

To recap. All I’ve said is that the 24 Eagle defence is better than the 22 eagles defense. I didn’t denigrate the Chiefs in any way. In response to that, you have been a rude, obnoxious toddler.

One giant lol at you.

There's no magic matchup. None of that will matter. There's no defensive scheme advantage.

It will be a good game between two good teams, and in the end Mahomes will do Mahomes things and win. Or he'll uncharacteristically do something dumb and lose.

But I wouldn't bet on that.

I’m not sure who I’m picking yet… At this point it could go either way. The Eagles have the better roster, the Chiefs have the better coach and quarterback… It should be a really interesting game.

You can blame the changes in coordinators, injuries, fractured relationships with teammates, shifts in how the run their offense... whatever it is, he isn't MVP-caliber right now.

Seems like that was the narrative in '22 too though. Hurts was average, yada yada...then he played the best game of his career. I'm a little concerned it could happen again.

KC's defense is better than that one though.

This has been the narrative every year for years now.

[O.city]

Yeah, I think some of the "other team has better roster" is just because we have Andy and Pat and they assume that.

We've got a pretty damn good roster.

[New World Order]

The way you get to Pat is by having an elite pass rush.

Phili pass rush is no where close to what it was before.

I don’t think we’re going to have trouble moving the ball

Good for him, one last game and all but is he really going to be effective? That's a FAST return from his injury.

About 10 weeks off a torn triceps, right?

Yeah, that's a fast turnaround. And with Smith's ascension of late, I'm just fine with Graham taking him off the field on a few key plays.

Was it?

Hurts had a couple meh playoff games leading up to the Bowl, but he was 2nd to Mahomes in MVP voting that year.

That would be my thought. The more reps the better re: Graham.

Especially against our tackles who the speed of Smith may be a concern with.

I agree that the chiefs have a good roster.

I have never seen a more overrated QB than Jalen Hurts.

He’s got the best OL in football, Saquon, Brown, Devonta. He’s got as many weapons as Goff did.

You’d think this guy would have a good year throwing the ball like Goff and Tua did when they had a similar supporting staff, but no. He’s just not a great passer. It’s all about quick hits and runs for him.

He’s thrown for 300 or more yards 4X since that SB and only 1 time in his last 20 games. Mahomes had thrown for 300 or more times 8X since that SB and he’s had a ton of personnel issues.

Can you guys even imagine what Mahomes would do if he was the Eagles QB? Dude might have 50 TD’s and 5k yards again
