Actually, yeah.

You played a weak schedule.

I sure did. He had 16 yards rushing. Because he was running in mud.

You better pray his knee magically healed.

Certainly all the AFC teams were weak.

You only won that game because of Tucker's attrocious performance. Hurts threw for 118 yards. Putting aside that fluky game, you haven't beaten any elite opponents this season. In fact, the only good teams you played, Packers and Rams, both times the games were close late in the 3rd. If both those teams didn't turn the ball over (3x each), you wouldn't even be in this situation.

Says the guy still crying about “if” the Eagles weren’t called for a blatant holding call two years ago.

I've watched football for 40+ years...that's a hold. Just because it happened at a critical juncture doesn't make it not exist...it's actually WHY the DB did it. He knew it was a "do or die" situation...and got caught.

if this or that, come on.... really? Eagles record against winning teams is pretty damn good. Turnovers happen and are in most cases forced. Cheifs had a boatload of close wins this season. Not a jaugernaut.

Why did CJ Gardner Johnson give up 8 TDs this season?

Literally what happened in 2022. Eagles had the #1 pass defense and all the analysts pick them. They give up 38 points and lose.

How could this happen? Oh wait, the Eagles played in the NFC full of fraud QBs and the moment they played Mahomes they got picked apart.

The only thing I see differently is you have Quinyon, who looks very good. You better hope that's enough to make the difference.

It was a super weak call, even the announcers said it. It was what it was. KC benifits from them pretty regularly.

No..that scrub announcer said it because it ruined a storybook ending. "You cant call a penalty it that situation" is a horseshit rationalization...if it's a penalty 5 minutes into the game, it's a penality with 2 minutes left. There is no sliding scale otherwise all penalties are contingent on when they are committed...that hold disrupted the play.

I'll admit it was anti-climatic but if they ignore it, what's next? New rules for when a penalty is valid..determined by the drama in said game?

Cooper is up ther with Quinyon, Baun is a beast. This D is light years better than 2 years back. Carter is an upgrade as well.

You know who else had a winning record? Denver
Turnovers, more often than not, are a result of a player ****ing up the snap or throwing it in traffic. It's dumb mental errors from the opponent.
I mention this because Buffalo had plenty of fluky plays go their way, just as Philthy has these playoffs, until their luck ran out. You are Buffalo of the NFC with shittier coaching and QB.
