I think the jersey choice switches between the AFC and NFC teams each year which is why we got to pick the home colors last year.

The "Home Team" in the Super Bowl alternates every other year. The home team decides what uniform they will wear and the "visitor" is forced into the color opposite.

The NFC is the home team. The Eagles picked green.

In LV the Bucs chose their white road unis instead of red home because Tom is superstitious. That's why we wore red in back to back years in LIV and LV.

Only thing keeping KC from having the #1 pick every year is the refs. They have single handedly created this dynasty, not the players, coaches, or front office. Just the refs.

I do think this team is better than the last Eagles, probably the best we've faced, and it'll be very close. But, they have to play us, turns out we're pretty good.

We have a HOF coach top 2 in league history (in a few years) they have Sirianni.

We have the best player and future HOF quarterback to ever play the game, they have a regressed but still good Hurts.

We have a first ballot, and best TE to ever play the position, they have Goedert who could potentially have a big game.

We have the best or second best at worst DC in league history, they have a guy who’s defense has never beaten our quarterback.

They have been waiting for this game, this moment since they were handed the Lombardi by John Failway in the Raiders stadium. They had their sights set on back to back, but also something much bigger than that. We have the championship pedigree, they have to face a team that beat them 2 years ago, has the better players and coaches at the most important positions. Putting up 38 points on their “historic defense and unbelievable sack rate to the tune of no sacks (put it on a ****ing shirt) with Mahomes with a bad wheel, and much worse receiving options top to bottom. And a much better and cohesive defense to go along with all that, the best situational defensive play caller I’ve ever seen.

They didn’t come to the doorstep to be turned away. Regardless of what the Eagles do (aside from an injury), this team will probably give us a heart attack on the way to it. But these guys won’t be denied. They’ve been here before, down double digits multiple times, and they will make the soft as Charmin Eagles fans Cry Eagles Cry ONCE AGAIN when Mahomes and this team vanquishes them back to the shithole city they play for.

60 minutes to immortality.

Book it. Hat Trick Mahomes is gonna be a thing!

I'm trying to catalog the 2019, 2022, 2023 playoff runs. How does one get ahold of them? I have all of the 2019 playoff games, but on the 22 and 23 Super Bowls.

I'm trying to find it, but it was one of those FS1 shows in the first Chiefs Eagles SB, and they were doing their picks the Friday before the game. Emmanuel Acho did a super cringe segment where he got Iggles fans to cheer every time he said "The Eagles have a better [insert position group]"

The guy did the usual offensive line, edge rushers, RBs, and WRs that you expect, and then he went into cuckoo land and claimed the Eagles had a better secondary and linebackers as well.

And let's say all of that was true. If the gap between coaching staffs is Reid against Sirianni and his merry band of ****tards and the gap between QBs is Mahomes against Hurts, that better be one HUUUUGE gap between the other position groups that the Eagles have as an advantage.

Spoiler alert: It wasn't.

You can rinse and repeat that bullshit for the 49ers last year. I felt like all I heard was fear mongering over Donk Spawn McCaffrey and how he was going to destroooooooy us.

And what do you know... it's happening again this year.

Yawn.

I just logged in and checked.

It looks like they have every game, regular, postseason, and PRESEASON going all the way back to 2015!

You should have said Plums.

In our SB57 matchup, Andy mined how the Jaguars exploited the Eagles at the goal line.

This time I’m wondering if he’ll find anything from the last two Buccaneers matchups against Philly.

It is written already in the stars.

CHIEF PEAT.

It will be glorious.
