So I was at a party last night with Eagles fans and they were declaring the Eagles roster on paper this year is the best in the history of the NFL. These are pretty knowledgeable football fans. I chuckled a little at first but now think that they’re not that far off. I don’t really see a weakness at all.
I’ve definitely noticed a higher confidence level from Eagles fans for this SB compared to the others, though.
I think being to 3 SBs in 8 years has many fans feeling like we truly belong among the big boys and aren’t imposters.
Me, I feel about the same cautious confidence as 2022. We can definitely win this, but I’m prepared for the usual pain and disappointment that somehow usually finds its way to us.
I’m prepared for **** to hit the fan somehow. Someone gets hurt, someone drops a crucial pass, Elliot misses one in the moment, we come out flat, some type of off the field bs, etc. nothing surprises me as a fan of this franchise anymore.
I don’t think the field was as huge as all the other issues.
Hurts had a fumble early in 2nd QTR that went back for a TD that changed momentum, we weren’t as aggressive in offensive play calling as we are, we traded FGs with KC so they could get TDs and our special teams coach kicked it to a player who our then OC had when he was OC at college and told him don’t do that. Those were all bigger factors. AJ Brown even said in an interview when they took the FG in the 3rd QTR instead of being aggressive and going for it the confidence in the team went way down and they were prepared to lose.
Was the field a factor? Sure both teams played on it though. Those other things were bigger factors though imho
Please stop with this. You've been harping on that for two years and it simply isn't true. After the fumble, they immediately scored another TD and had a 10 point lead at the half. They lost because the defense gave up literally every yard possible in the second half. Full stop.
It’s at least 13 point lead at half time. TOs kill drives and games. My point is the Eagles lost and im sick of this it was the red at the end or the turf. Both teams played on the turf, Bradberry put himself in a position to get that call. We did a million things wrong that game.
The whole turf thing brings me back to FC Barcelona in soccer during the prime messi days and anytime Barca lost an away game it was always complaints about the field not up to their standards. It just sounds like absolute crying let’s not take accountability for where we messed up. No one ever talks anymore of the lack of aggression, the turnovers we had and the drives we put in FGs instead of TDs. That hurt us the most.
Both teams played on the same field. If the eagles players were having issues on it that’s on Nick and the equipment staff at that point because KC seemed to have zero issues outside the first quarter with it
