Prior to the bye week, Cooper was put in, offense changed, youngest defense in the league improved as well. Results are what they are after the bye week.

Sounds like more excuses.

Jalen Carter will be held all game with no call. I expect it.

It's so bad there they had to close Big Charlie's for the SB.

You misspelled Chris Jones.

Just facts. Easily checked but whatever.

Probably right on that but both ways. Happens nearly every play.

You should take your own advice…

It'll be interesting how your two rookies perform against a Reid offense with a dialed-in Mahomes. Tough ask...

It would actually, especially from the referee's viewpoint. The camera angle on the broadcast didn't show the full hold but the pictures after the game did.

If that wasn't called, the Chiefs would have more right to be pissed than the Eagles were. It would have allowed the Eagles to get a stop by holding a WR on a 3rd down. And they'd get the ball back with additional time. They shouldn't be rewarded there. The DB should have just let Juju go. Better to give up a TD there than to grab the jersey and effectively end the game with a penalty.

Why did Gardner Johnson give up 8 TDs?

All they want to see is a reason why they didnt win ...that call is easier to blame. It likely would have been a TD if the DB didnt mug him...but since it wasnt allowed to play out because he had a fist full of his jersey, we'll never know.

Eagle fans are essentially saying..."we should be allowed to hold on a pivotal play" and if you call it...it's rigged. The hypocrisy is it was the correct call...not calling it is actually more justification for claiming the ending was rigged.

I agree, it should be a great game. Mahomes is a worry for sure. Anyway, good banter tonight.

I blame Greg Olsens tantrum.
