Jalen Hurts hasn't thrown the football like that in 2 years, but yea, he's all of a suddden going to do it in the SB AGAIN.

Was A.J. Brown so frustrated that he was reading on the sidelines during the game?

Not only is Kelce not there, their IOL is banged up. That's a pretty big ****ing deal when you have Chris Jones, and a significant difference.

[RunKC]

Jalen Carter had 56 of their 111 pressures this year. So basically half. Brandon Graham was their 2nd best pass rusher in pressure rate and he is on IR. So it’s mostly 1 guy.

Bad news is Carter is damn good. Like young Chris Jones good. Tied Chris’s most pressures in a playoff run (20) already.

Gonna have to have Creed help Caliendo all game

[staylor26]

Jalen Carter is not Chris Jones GTFOH. He had 4.5 sacks this year. He's closer to Ed Oliver than Chris Jones.

That doesn't mean his ceiling isn't that high, but slow the **** down Run, JFC.

If we're going by playoff numbers we might as well say Karlaftis is Von Miller.

[Mahomes007]

This Eagles team is strong and certainly cannot be underestimated. Chiefs could play well and still lose. The Eagles have only lost once since Sept, and that took a last second Commanders TD as well as having Kenny Pickett playing the majority of that game due to Hurts' getting injured early. This Super Bowl is for a once in a lifetime chance to go down in history. Want this win more than anything, but it will be a very tough game that could go either way, like with Buffalo.

[Kiimo]

How many points down do the Eagles have to be before they start screaming at each other on the sidelines, pointing fingers and AJ Brown starts reading books and their idiot coach starts lashing out?


Over/under 14 points?

I didn’t say he was prime Chris Jones. He’s young Chris Jones who was very good but not at the peak of his powers yet.

If we score first in OT we do.

The amount of love I’m seeing for the Eagles on YouTube comments is seriously depressing. Even the official NFL game preview narrator is for the Eagles in the breakdown

If we win this one I’ll never ask for another win again.

Everyone is saying the Eagles defense is way better than what we faced 2 years ago? Is that really true? It seems to me that Jalen is not what he once was. I’m really hoping we can exploit that somehow but gotta worry about that tight end and Barkley

[Basileus777]

The more I dig in, the better I feel about this matchup. Philly's passing game just has been broken much of the season and their weaknesses are exactly what Spags excels at. If the Chiefs play a clean game and avoid turnovers they should have this. Philly is talented no doubt, but still probably the least talented team Mahomes has faced in these 5 Superbowls. Reid and Spags should have a clear coaching edge over Kellen Moore and Fangio and their really basic schemes.

PFF's grades on the Eagle's lineup is through the roof. In fact it feels inflated. Even Dean's replacement Burks has an 81 grade. I'm left scratching my head.

Eagles schedule has hardly been a murderers row.

[Chieftain]

I'd argue the iggles team we played in 2022 was much more formidable. Elite defensive line. Elite offensive line. Elite running game. Hurts playing at an MVP level.
There's no way in hell Barkley is running for 200 yards and 3 TDs against this Spags defense. I feel better about this SB than any other.

Keep in mind, Washington was within range of pulling off an upset had they not shot themselves in the foot. Iggles won that game, blew it open, because the dummie Commanders kept turning the ball over.
