Is this drop a deuce person gonna give ur the sight he frequents so we can point and laugh at his comical takes after the game? Since obviously he won’t be here to endure his abuse he’s earned. AGAIN!! Come eat that crow when it’s over! Maybe you can then tell us how next years team is gonna be the best team ever. AGAIN!! And that Hurts is still better than Mahomes because of “reasons”, and blame the refs.

It’s astonishing how much Bills fan and Eag L’s fans have in common. Tbh, from Philly fans it at least has merit with hardware. Really shows you how much Bills fans act like they’ve won something, until they take the next L. Then it’s how they “deserve it”.


Oh well, bring us some tears after the game. We’re gonna be celebrating like our favorite team won 3 straight Super Bowls, but make your presence known, we won’t be too rough in our moment of glory. Sweater God!

Cook gashed us for 85 yards on 13 carries in the AFCCG but if you take a way the one 33 yard run we held him to 55 yards on 12 carries (4.4 YPG).

I posted this before but the majority of the damage from both Cook and Mixon each came on one drive in the second half.

Besides those two drives, the Chiefs did pretty well against both.

Let's see. Your response to schematic and matchup analysis is, "#1 defense" ignoring that that ranking is based on an average and within averages there are big numbers and small numbers that typically differ because of...matchups.

Then when comparing this current Eagles team to this current Chiefs team you fall back on the Eagles of 7 years ago beating the Patriots of 7 years ago (when they were still the Patriots) like that has any connection to today. Yeah, I remember when the Chiefs beat Randall Cunningham in Arrowhead in 1992. We're definitely winning the Super Bowl in 2025!

Eagles fans are the douchey guys at the party with their beanie pulled down to their eyes thumping their chest and being loud about how cool and tough they are, but it's all a mask. Because really they're just painfully uncomfortable with how dumb they are.

They lose to Buffalo in the regular season every year as well. Playoffs are a different story.

He says "the Chiefs haven't defended the run well the last five or six weeks" but the Texans got 84 yards in the first game. The second game was inflated because Stroud got 42 with his feet. Same thing with Buffalo and Josh Allen.

And it's funny how we got 135 against Buffalo, 132 against the Browns and 124 against the Texans over the last five games but no-one gives our run game any love.

Philly has pretty much given up 100 rush yards per game in these playoffs. Gave up 166 to the Ravens, 118 to the Panthers, 111 to Tampa, 113 to Washington, 152 to Atlanta, 163 in the opening game vs the Packers etc etc. But nobody talks about it because everyone's focus is on making the opposition look great and picking at KC wherever they can.

The main priority is not allowing Barkley to run riot. But even in the event that he has a good day I've provided evidence that in four games that he has had big days Philly have either lost (vs Washington) or the opposition had the ball late with a chance to win (vs Rams, Jags and Panthers).

Lastly I was watching RGR Chiefs on youtube yesterday and Ryan Tracy said Chris Jones in one of his media interviews said as the defense were watching tape this week "they discovered something that made everyone's eyes open". So something tells me the may have noticed more philly tendencies deep into this preparation.

Then why was it called?

I'd be shocked if Barkley doesn't get at least 75 yards tomorrow...you can't shut him down, just have to contain him.

[Bob Dole]

I’m predicting Thunder back to guard to help defend Philly’s interior pass rush, and Worthy with 2 touchdowns.

And the anthem over 120.5 seconds.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

In a region-wide work call this week, people are sending chats about the game... of course some start talking about refs and how that's why the Chiefs will win.

Your boy did not waste anytime calling that shit out for what it is. Work or not we're not standing for all that shit.

I really feel like Spags plays chess for most of the game. He holds stuff in his back pocket, then dials in on what will crush the opposing team at the end of the game. We’re always in it, so there’s never any panic.

Sometimes a team will have a huge rushing or passing quarter, then boom, Spags takes it all away from them. The other team tries to adjust on the fly, but it’s just too late. Just my two cents.

Good banter.

If you were alive as a dinosaur 66 million years ago, you'd look up at the sky and say, "That asteroid is a worry for sure"

The Chiefs tend to zig when people expect them to zag.

I wonder if the Chiefs don’t play Barkley more honestly than we expect and just make life hell for Hurts.

Selling out against the run does make you more prone to house call runs when dynamic backs get past the first level. Look no further than Damien Williams at the end of the first 49er Super Bowl.

We know Barkley will get his, so I wonder if Spags doesn’t concede that a bit to make sure Hurts doesn’t have it easy. Even dominant backs will put you in third and long eventually.

I’d hate to see so much attention on Barkley that Hurts gets to be comfortable. The Eagles may even be planning to take a few deep shots early in anticipation of 11 guys having eyes on Barkley.

One of the media guys hinted at Thuney moving back to guard for this one which tbh would definitely screw with Philly if they pulled this off. Not expecting it buy boy would that be something.

[Mahomes007]

They need to move him back to guard. To bolster the interior. Otherwise Carter and Williams may feast on our weak link.

Humphries has improved conditioning and recovered from the hamstring. He’ll have more stamina in first half and there’s an extended halftime to recharge anyway.

All hands on deck, 2024 Eagles are probably the strongest team we’ve faced in any Super Bowl.
