The Eagles O-Line is absolutely outstanding. Even if we contain Barkley, if they get consistent push on our D-Line where Barkley and Hurts get 2 yards before contact, they can ride that kind of running game to points and most importantly, keep Mahomes off the field.
Do I think that means we're fucked? Absolutely not. But it's enough to slow us down, and enough to keep the game close, where anything can happen. The Eagles made it the Super Bowl for a reason, they aren't gonna just lay down for us. Chances are this game is close.
You're absolutely drinking that Eagles Kool-Aid.
I'm not even saying it's likely, but "extremely unlikely" is way too much Eagles dick sucking for me. They aren't THAT fucking good. They got blown out by the fucking Bucs, so no, I don't think it's "extremely" unlikely, even if it's unlikely. [Reply]

I'm going with the team that simply doesn't lose close games.
Well that's why I think we win.
We have an advantage in the 4th quarter, 9 minutes to go, 3 point game situation. Eagles fans and players aren't gonna be feeling great if Mahomes is driving late in a close game, they know what's coming. They'd have to put the game out of reach to truly slay us, or do what they did to Brady and come up with a crazy clutch turnover.
But us putting the game out of reach for the Eagles I think is unlikely in a game like this. Possible, but unlikely. [Reply]

I called them a better version of the Bills.
But I think they're actually a worse version of the Ravens. [Reply]

Look for them to attack that way and let the Omenihu's, Danna's, Wharton's of the world really test out the agility of this interior.
They have a guard with a bad knee, a center with a bad back and a RG that's size is a detriment to how quickly he moves. The space between C and RG is going to be exploitable. [Reply]

Biggest difference is that some of their success is tainted.
Yeah, it's a microcosm of modern society.
People get convinced they're right and their side/team/whatever is going to win, and then when they don't, instead of accepting that - perhaps! - they were just wrong or missed something that mattered, it has to be a conspiracy against them. [Reply]

Do I think that means we're ****ed? Absolutely not. But it's enough to slow us down, and enough to keep the game close, where anything can happen. The Eagles made it the Super Bowl for a reason, they aren't gonna just lay down for us. Chances are this game is close.
Folks love to talk about Caliendo but despite playing against some good DLines dude has held up well. They just put the "weakness" tag on him because it's lazy and he's not Joe Thuney. And like I've stated previously. This defense has faced Lamar and Henry and Allen and Cooks. They've seen similar rungames already. And even when Barkley has had big games they lost to Washington and was in huge danger of losing to the Rams late. [Reply]
I hope people realize I'm not doubting the Chiefs. My base beliefs are that it's likely to be a close game, and we're gonna need some serious outliers for it to swing one way or the other.
Last year I drank the Kool-Aid that we had a serious advantage over the 49ers defense, we really didn't and I was frustrated the game was close. I'm not falling into that again. [Reply]

I think I saw something yesterday that Peter Schrager has correctly picked the SB winner going back to 2019. And he picked us to win this year. [Reply]

You were frustrated with a close Super Bowl win? [Reply]
