****Super Bowl LIX - Kansas City 17-2 vs Philadelphia 17-3****(+1.5, 49.5) The Eagles are your 2024 Champions!!! (1 Viewer)

[cheese]

I still think KC has another gear they can get to if they need it. As a pretty neutral fan, I hope Philly can push them to the end at least. I'm expecting KC to do what they do though and score almost every time early and manage the game late.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Actually, I always root for the NFC squad, even if they're from the NFCE. So, yes, i would be rooting for the Commanders had they beat the Eagles yesterday. I do not think I would be all that excited about it though. Nor do I expect other fans to be excited for the Eagles or Chiefs.

You can personally not like the Eagles or Chiefs all you and everyone else likes. Makes zero difference to me. It does not give you cart-blanche to continually troll in this and other threads though. And yes, that is what your posts easily appear to be. That, and salty. In addition, I would never consider trolling another teams fans after the Eagles got eliminated. I do not need that kind of validation to feel better about myself.

Please do not tell me to get bent. It is not very excellent of you. Or, keep digging that hole. Whatever.

sigh eagles fans are going to make this years Super Bowl thread unreadable, aren’t they?

 

[DocHolliday]

I have as much excitement for this matchup as I do the halftime performer. In other words, NONE.

Same. Philly is not beating KC and the refs.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Philly is technically the home team so they're getting point and a half maybe two depending on the site.
Sounds about right and I don't think the line will move a lot unless a major injury pops up

 

[unckeyherb]

If Philly commits to running the ball the entire game, they will win this.

Your dedication to the cause continues to pay off

Most of the time, I laugh. This time, I actually agree with him.

I thought the exact same thing

 

[unckeyherb]

KC should win this. It all depends which Jalen Hurts shows up but most of the game will be put on Barkley's shoulders, but KC will have an answer for that.

Having an answer for Saquon. Awesome joke.

No joke. You think KC isn't going to gameplan for Saquon? Just going to let him run free? Is that what you think? Really?

You think no one else bothered to gameplan for Saquon this year? Just going to let him run free? Is that what you think? Really?

All you gotta do is stop Saquon bro

Yep. We don't know which version of Jalen hurts will show up on any given day.

The one that wins almost every time he plays.

Eagles really don't give up more than 25 points (and frankly its more like 20) to anyone. I mean, they gave up 23 to Washington, 20 to the Rams, 10 to the Packers in their three playoff games. Prior to that-going back to the bye week-they gave up 13, 7, 36*,13, 16, 19, 20, 18, 6, 23, 17, 3 and 16 points. They just don't let the opposing offense get going and I don't really see that changing in two weeks. As amazing as Mahomes and Andy are, prior to last night's 32 point performance, when was the last time they dropped a 30+ point bomb on an opposing team? 30 against the Panthers in week 11?

*I view this as an outlier game because Jalen Hurts got knocked out in the second drive and CJGJ got ejected from the game. Prior to that happening, Washington wasn't doing much on offense. Once he left, they scored 22 points.

 

[Judge Smails]

I think people will overreact to the Eagles dominance yesterday. The Skins came off a brutally physical game with the Lions. People forget if Jalen Carter doesn't make that great sack on Stafford the Rams likely were beating them, as replays showed Higbey wide open but Stafford couldn't see him. The Chiefs are much better than the Rams and Redskins. I'll take Reid over Sirianni and Moore and I'll take Spags over Fangio. And Mahomes over Hurts. Yes, they have to limit Barkley but betting they can.

Re: the Bolded - what would you consider "limiting" Barkley aka a successful day at the office in this scenario you are referring to, just curious?

Anything that happened up until this point really doesn't matter. But the same thing could be said about the Chiefs defense. The last time they allowed 31 or more points was against the Eagles in the SB. The last time they allowed 31+ points and lost was in the 2021 season. Since you mentioned 25 points, PHI had games this season where they gave up 36, 33, and 29 points. Ignoring Week 18, KC had games where they allowed 30, 29, and 27. The Chiefs don't really care how many points they score or how many points they allow . . . as long as they outscore their opponent by 1 point. It's hard to really assess teams when the point different between them is so vastly different . . . so far this year the Eagles are +210 points vs. +71 for KCC. On paper, it looks like PHI should win . . . but the Chiefs seem to always do enough to come out on top.

And if AJ doesn't drop a catch he makes 99 times out of 100 and Lane doesn't barely flinch on the tush push from the 1/2 yard marker, the Eagles drop 42 on the Rams.

I'll reiterate that 36 point game you listed was with Jalen going out on the second drive and CJGJ getting ejected. Again, Washington was struggling on offense until both of those things happened. Before CJGJ went out, Washington went downs on 4 plays, fumble, punt, TD, fumble, TD, punt, Interception, fumble. CJGJ got ejected on the that last fumble play. Then Washington went TD, TD, Int, TD.

The 29 points they gave up was week 1 in Brazil and the 33 points was the week 4 loss to TB right before the bye. After the bye is when they got Cooper Dejean on the field for the first time due to injury and they basically never gave up more than 20 points again.

So do the Eagles.

[Anarchy99]

So do the Eagles.

I guess it depends how we define "on top." PHI with Hurts starting over the past 3 years has gone 42-12 (.778). KC with Mahomes starting in that time has gone 48-10 (.826) and is in position to win the SB for the third straight year. Both teams win a lot, but so far only the Chiefs have won a title in that time frame. Not a fan of either team, so I don't really have a side I am pulling for.

 

[Anarchy99]

Against playoff teams . . .

PHI: 8-2, +7.9 point differential/gm, +27.2 yds/gm
KCC: 9-1, +5.4 point differential/gm, +0.8 yds/gm (not including Week 18 vs. DEN)

 

[TheAristocrat]

The great butthurt trolls have heard the call and come forth with their own research and hypotheticals that will certainly catch the attention of MENSA. Only they can right the wrong of two great teams playing for earned glory and accolades.

Philly is a very talented team, definitely capable of winning this game. I have a hard time imagining how that Fangio defense holds up in an invertible comeback from Mahomes though, even if the have a late lead.

Cut him some slack. It has been nearly 30 years since the Cowboys were relevant at this point in the season, so he might just feel left out of the conversations.

I would also add that Jalen Hurts has more playoff victories now than the Cowboys will have in the next decade. The infinite sadness in that truth would be difficult to live with. I'm just happy that he can still love football in his own way.

If we're excluding the DEN game from your calculations, I'd like to exclude the 2nd WAS game as well since Hurts got injured on the 11th play. So effectively, he didn't play the final 3.5 quarters.

Knock yourself out. The Chiefs didn’t play any starters, had nothing to play for, and made no effort to win. If you want to compare those as similar situations, have at it. WAS had 5 turnovers and still won.

literally no one does this. When you jump on a post by an eagles fan and make some completely non-sequitur response that has nothing to do with the Eagles or the game they are playing, its annoying. To respond in an annoying tone does not mean that someone is taking it personal. Its just annoying.

Thank god we have your color commentary in every. Single. Thread. What would happen to this board if eagles threads just had eagles fans talking about the eagles!? I shudder to think. Yeomans work you’ve been doing.

No problem. FYI, there are sites on the innerwebs that are just for Eagles fans to stroke each other

So, you prefer to come into threads about the Eagles and stroke urself?

I was told this was a safe space, so I won’t yuck your yum.

Nah, I read most threads and post in multiple ones

Lemme ask you a question though, why do Eagles fans take **** personally? Everything. All the time. It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
People (eagles fans mostly) post on the cowboys thread and McCarthy thread and you know who gets butthurt? No one. Ever

You’ve noticed this, right?

I honestly don’t go in the Cowboys thread unless it’s Cowboys week and it’s just to discuss the game or talk some friendly smack.

To your point, Eagles fans are like this: “I can make fun of my brother and clown him all day long. But, somebody outside of my family talks crap about him- we have a problem.”

But, the thing is, I don’t think a lot of posters take what you say personally. I think a lot of it is fatigue, because it’s a constant thing in every thread. And tour commentary may very well have started out as football talk, but it has devolved to “Philly fans are the worst! Philly fans whine about refs constantly! Philly fans are thin-skinned!” That kind of posting gets to be like mosquitoes at a picnic- not malevolent or ruinous, but annoying. You must see that, no?

Plus, the irony of you complaining about Eagles fans incessantly as being thin-skinned and obsessive is about as self-aware as Brady saying he always preferred the refs to not throw flags and let players play.

I think people will overreact to the Eagles dominance yesterday. The Skins came off a brutally physical game with the Lions. People forget if Jalen Carter doesn't make that great sack on Stafford the Rams likely were beating them, as replays showed Higbey wide open but Stafford couldn't see him. The Chiefs are much better than the Rams and Redskins. I'll take Reid over Sirianni and Moore and I'll take Spags over Fangio. And Mahomes over Hurts. Yes, they have to limit Barkley but betting they can.

Re: the Bolded - what would you consider "limiting" Barkley aka a successful day at the office in this scenario you are referring to, just curious?

You weren't asking me, but I'll give you my 2 cents. The key against KC is not having empty possessions. Like almost any, ever. People always think their defense is good enough to matter against KC, but years and years tell you nobody's is. So about Barkley.... The Chiefs goal will be to have at least a few drives where they stuff him and cause a bad down and distance. Even if he has explosive runs and has 170 yards, they will hope they have 2-3 drives where they stop him on early downs and cause a 3rd and 9.

If you want me to quantify it, I will say the Chiefs want Barkley to have about 6 runs of 2 yards or less in the first 3 quarters. They want to create 4-5 3rd downs of 3rd and 6 or longer which is related to that first part. They want to force 3 punts. If they can do that, they put the game in Mahomes hands.

I don't think KC is unbeatable, but I think it would have to be a shootout. You either score 40 points, or you score 35 while controlling the ball and limiting possessions, or you lose. If you do anything less, you won't get enough stops and then they will put the game to sleep with first downs and ball control.

Against playoff teams . . .

PHI: 8-2, +7.9 point differential/gm, +27.2 yds/gm
KCC: 9-1, +5.4 point differential/gm, +0.8 yds/gm (not including Week 18 vs. DEN)

If we're excluding the DEN game from your calculations, I'd like to exclude the 2nd WAS game as well since Hurts got injured on the 11th play. So effectively, he didn't play the final 3.5 quarters.

Knock yourself out. The Chiefs didn’t play any starters, had nothing to play for, and made no effort to win. If you want to compare those as similar situations, have at it. WAS had 5 turnovers and still won.

Don't bother. They're doing this on purpose.

This is totally obnoxious, this thread. It's like every other Philadelphia thread. Man, I hope the Chiefs are up to it. So many salty ham tears around here for a team that managed to slip by with an easy schedule in a lousy conference.

Thank you so much for keeping this schtick alive!

This is a great take.

I’m about of the same mind. If it’s a close game in the 4th Qtr, I think you live bet KCC heavy. Mahomes is not a QB; he is a magician.

If Philly is gonna win, I expect them to have to take an early lead and limit Mahomes opportunities. Then withstand the inevitable comeback rally.

I like this analysis! They definitely are beatable. The only had like 220 yards of offense against the Texans and really let the Texans AND the Bills run at will until these teams decided to stop doing that.

I think both of these responses sum up this matchup perfectly.

I want to see what happens when/if Mahomes tries to bait Jalen Carter into hitting him late.
