Spags shuts down Kellen Moores offense with regularity. Essentially, contain Saquon Barkley, and then in the limited number of plays the Eagles offense likes to spam ad nauseum, he's going to guess right and cause havoc quite a bit.
As long as the tackling of our defenders is sound, the KC defense should be able to be very disruptive to their offense.
The only real worry KC has is that Eagles front, where the defensive tackles are disruptive. Jalen Carter vs Caliendo isn't a matchup anyone us excited to think about.
Does Andy consider Humphries at tackle and moving Thuney back inside to negate those pocket destroying tackles or does he roll with the consistent lineup that took pretty good care of Ed Oliver and held up inside, save for the play that Caliendo was lifted like a toddler and carried into the backfield for a sack?
Most importantly, Andy has to decide on the size, and color of clown shoes he's going to put on Nick Sirianni and the Eagles front office. [Reply]

The the Redskins' defense is neither as talented nor as creative as the Chiefs. KC can match up better against their receivers (I like Watson on Brown and McDuffie on Smith when KC is in man), has better LB that defend the run better, and is better up front.
Saquon Barkley is a game-breaking and changes their offense by adding a very explosive element in the run game.
But this Eagles team is still, overall, not as good or dominant as the one KC beat 2 years ago.
This is all truth. Not to oversimplify things but we will have much more success in coverage and much more success against the run despite our numbers fading a bit down the stretch. In many ways the game plan for the Eagles will mirror what we did to the Bills, only I believe we’ll have even more success against them. Only position where they’re markedly better than the Bills is along the defensive line but it isn’t like they’re the 2020 Bucs Super Bowl defense or anything. [Reply]
The Eagles are going to run the same 15 plays over and over, they are a high school level scheme team. There is no nuance here, they're just going to say hey we're gonna out talent you. [Reply]

And I don't think they can do that to our defense.
Let's remember folks, this Eagles offense didn't score a first quarter touchdown all year until about a month ago. [Reply]

Yeah, in the regular season game a couple seasons ago, the Chiefs defense knew exactly what they were doing all game... it was impressive until every other team that wasn't the Bills figured out what you mentioned for the rest of the season. [Reply]

It's only working now because Barkley is so good behind their line, Hurts still isn't good, since the SB against us he's been pretty bad. [Reply]

With 2 weeks before the game they should be in good shape. Their Center, and guard that moved to center were banged up. Guy had a big brace on his knee and struggling to walk on the sideline before getting pulled. [Reply]
