I’m thinking the exact opposite is going to happen. This chiefs team seems like a paper tiger…

Blitzing Mahomes is the last thing you want to do. He kills teams that bring more than 4.

Fangio's a guy who does what he does. I find it hard to believe he would decide in the SUPER BOWL he would completely change his philosophy. Maybe some tendency breakers here and there, but not wholesale changes.

I believe he is the best quarterback against the Blitz.

Then why didn’t Mahomes eat teams alive this year? He was very blah. Now all of a sudden he’s going to eat the number one defence in the NFL alive?

Hurts is 12 and 1 against the AFC over the last three years. The Eagles did play the fifth easiest schedule, however the Chiefs also played an easy schedule (10th). Eagles had a point differential of like something like 300… while, I think the Chiefs were 60… Playoffs included.


I think you guys are setting yourself up for disappointment. Not picking the Chiefs to win… But being so sure that they’re going to win. This one is going to be tough.

Injuries to the #1 and #2 WRs allowed teams to key in on Kelce. Also suspect LT play.

Also his stats against the #1 defense in the playoffs are unbelievable.

Based on what? Paper tigers don’t lose one game that matters since Christmas 2023. Sounds a lot like the SB two years ago. Eagles got all the hype, believed their own press only to lose against a QB on a bum ankle, with a receiving corps whose best receiver was JJSS, and starting 6-7 rookies. But no worries, if KC wins and completes the three peat you can have your ready made “the refs” excuse ready.

Who was his one loss to? But no worries, keep believing the hype and thinking KC is an inferior team. Just don’t take the lazy “refs” cop out when the Eagles lose yet again.

Not sure what to say if you think point differential matters.

We’ve seen this year in and year out. Andy Reid Chiefs teams take their foot off the gas routinely in the regular season. Happens every year, and then they go beat the Buffalos and Baltimores in the playoffs who ran up the score on bad teams.

I used to think it was a cope, but it’s happened too much. Reid is perfectly content to win by 1 with Mahomes as long as he put as little on tape as possible.

There couldn’t be a less meaningful stat than point differential when evaluating an Andy Reid Chiefs team.

[Bl00dyBizkitz]

Point differential is such a funny stat. Bills fans have thrown it around like it's something to be proud of. Meanwhile, all the Chiefs do is win close games, have a terrible point differential, and win Super Bowls anyways.

Kind of a pointless stat on it's own lol.

Oh, you mean like the 2022 Eagles? The #1 defense with inflated numbers because they played against shitty NFC QBs all season long? And then when they finally played against a real QB, they gave up 38 and lost the Super Bowl? (sorry 31, Jalen gave up the other 7)

Like the Bills fans you really are too focused on regular season games.


The Chiefs do just enough to win those games.


Playoffs are a different beast.

And the SB is a level past that.

Fuel meet fire

[Bl00dyBizkitz]

Eagles are being smart not talking shit.

Thankfully everyone that thinks the Chiefs are cheaters are giving us plenty of fuel to feed off of. I bet Mahomes is reading every conspiracy theory he can find.
