You mean 2015 Alex Smith having a superior QB rating to 2023 & 2024 Mahomes isn’t the best way to judge overall quarterback play?

Enjoy the greatest moment of your life watching sports - or don't.

But if you choose not to choose to keep it to yourself.

Some of us here have impulse control issues...

Yeah, when a QB gets a really high grade for throwing a screen pass where a RB breaks 7 tackles for a 90 yard TD, there might be a flaw in that metric.

Win or lose, I’d hate to be one of those fans who can’t enjoy the moment because they’re constantly waiting for the wheels to fall off.

Guess what. The wheels WILL fall off eventually. You just have to enjoy it until then.

And no, enjoying this does not jinx the Chiefs. Predicting the Chiefs will win does not impact the outcome of the game. Talking shit to opposing fans does not mean the team will look past this game.

Even stuff like turnovers can be misleading. Houston & Buffalo got away with about 12 turnover worthy plays combined against the Chiefs. Meanwhile the Chiefs had 1 turnover worthy play in 2 games combined and paid the full price for it.

I was in New Orleans when I was a young child. All I really remember about it was it being super muggy. Is it a cool place to visit as an adult?

We're winning four straight super bowls.

FOUR...

This is why I am glad ESPN came up with QBR. It's not perfect, but it is a more accurate representation of how a QB played.

Yes. But avoid it during the summer at all costs. People from KC think it’s humid in KC. Louisiana in the summer makes the midwest feel like a tropical paradise. Also, Bourbon Street is pretty high on my list of most overrated places ever. But New Orleans as a whole is a fun place to visit.

Meh, Bourbon Street is an experience… but that’s about it.

All I know about it I learned from the film Hard Target with Van Damme.

And playing RDR 2.

There’s nothing that can make me not feel butterflies tho. Feels like Christmas Eve for an Adult lol

I am hoping we are all in here celebrating like crazy at this time tomorrow

What gives me butterflies is the youtube algorithm giving me eagles experts breaking down why we are going to lose by 2 scores.

Spags is gonna have his hands full trying to slow down Philly's offense. Great OL, phenomenal weapons, dual threat QB who is good enough to take advantage of the supporting cast around him.

Eagles fan here. For 2 weeks I came to this thread just read and did not reply. Most of you were very confident with the Eagles being the team you most wanted to face. The biggest difference from 2 years ago to most is Saquon but in SB 57 the problem was not our O it was the D. The additions of Carter, Baun, DeJean, Smith and Quinyon takes the D to another level. I would be telling tales if I thought the D would be that dominant. Also, Andy went back to his old ways that were his demise in Philly with poor CM and lack of running the ball to protect his QB. Time for the rubber match! Go Birds!

Yea, that DLine just overpowered the Chiefs. Set the tone for the game early.

no most of us wanted Washington.

Andy's playcalling was not the main problem. It was the offensive line getting taken to the cleaners on every play. We couldn't run. We couldn't pass.
