Let's discuss before, during and after the game in this thread.

 

Who is going to win and why?

First drive a call on routine hand-fighting?  Feels like the fix is in!

 

Mr. FishDuck

I couldn't care less who wins this.  They must have the BIG officiating crew on this one. The refs have been terrible both ways.

Well, that was a dream first-half for Eagles fans. Can't hardly believe it, and neither can Mahomes.

 

Mr. FishDuck

That Eagles pressure is relentless.  KC better block much better or find a successful way to get the ball out quicker.  I’m pulling for the Eagles but I’m hoping KC can make this interesting.

The Eagles haven't blitzed once. They've been getting to Mahomes with four men. The Chiefs also don't scare the Eagles downfield which is why Baun and DeJean were within five yards of Mahomes on both interceptions. Kelce also has zero receptions and hasn't had one real target so far.

 

For the casual fan a blowout is boring but I'm loving it and hope for two more touchdown drives by Philly and a boring fourth quarter. Sorry but not really sorry 😉.

So, is it time for the Chiefs to go shopping for a new offensive coordinator? One bad game...

One bad HALF is enough for some!

The Chiefs were going for the first ever 3-peat, maybe they'll end up being the first team to be shut out.

I was pretty sure the Eagles have blitzed a few times but maybe I’m remembering wrong, and Kelce has been targeted several times and dropped it.  One was a bad pass bc of pressure on Mahomes.  
 

Either way, I agree that they have consistently been getting pressure with 4.

I stand corrected, you’re right, they haven’t blitzed once

The biggest SB blowout is 49ers 55 Bill 10, No.2 is Bears 46 Patriots 10. 

OMG!  Almost as bad as the Rosebowl!

 

Should the Chiefs fire Reid?  Replace Mahomes? Can the OC and DC both?

 

The sky is falling!

 

Go Green!

Well, time for the greatest comeback in SB history?

Noooooo!!!!! I disagree as a completely biased fan of the team in green with the mascot having feathers. Time to unite brothers in feathers!!!!!

Two years ago they couldn't get to him at all. This is a masterful job by Fangio and the front four led by Sweat.

Well, I’m pulling for Philly, but that would put my Falcons debacle in the back seat.  Damn that Tom Brady! 😁

Okay, next year, Super Bowl 60, Detroit Lions- Buffalo Bills.

Absolutely, that’s what I was hoping for this postseason

So how does a great team (OBD) lose badly to another great team (tOSU) on the big stage? We're watching it in real time in SB LIV. A blown assignment here, bad throw there, coaching miscalculation here, critical penalty there and the snowball just gets rolling down the slope.

 

And sometimes the football gods just shake the snow globe to see what happens.

How about that?  They even added a Bird-Bomb!

And now the scores are going to be practically identical. 

While I'm hoping for a repeat obviously, I wouldn't mind seeing the Lions, Bengals or Bills get one if it isn't Philly. My childhood team was the Jaguars but that franchise is run as poorly as the Browns.

Yeah I was thinking back to that game. But KC didn't get past midfield until three minutes were left in the third. The score was cleaned up a little but this was domination unseen. That Falcons vs Patriots game was equal parts choke and greatness.

The impact of an athletic, high motor, play disrupting defensive line was on full display. I like to think that is where OBD are heading!

In CFB you saw it with a team that got home with four and had two great safeties.

 

In the NFL you saw the Giants do it twice to Brady and what Philly did to Mahomes tonight. Go back four years and Tampa did it to him in that game as well. Nothing rattles a QB like pressure. Even great coverage can be beaten with time.

I'm going to fly like an Eagle to the sea. 

 

Hurts so good, come on Baby make it Hurts so good!

 

Relationship status? Taylor: I'm looking for a new squeeze. 😛 $$$ is not an issue.

The line is about -5.5 right now that Taylor is looking for a more "seasoned" gentleman that has more than five rings. Unfortunately she's a little too old for one Mr. Belichick. He's getting proposed to a twenty four year old. Imagine being her father when Bill comes to ask for his permission.
