Your season ends by early January and you have more time to rest.
Good riddance.
It is great!
Zero stress. I am going to live to be 150! :-) [Reply]
I'm sure there's some effects of an elongated season, especially on older vets, but its not like the Eagles have been sitting at home the last 3 post seasons [Reply]

This should surprise no one. Mahomes has looked burned out for a while now. He just usually elevates at the right times because of that competitive nature. Burnout happens in all things.
You want to argue that we need some turnover for fresh, hungry talent.. fine. But it sounds like most of you are still in the denial phase. We lost. We had a bad game and lost. It happens.
He should be thrilled to be able to coach the game he gets to coach. Plenty of coaches would kill for the opportunity he has.
If he doesn't like it he can go coach some where else. [Reply]
I would be tired, how about you? But......I or you are not PROFESSIONAL football players getting MILIONS OF DOLLARS to PERFORM. If you can't do it anymore, then DON'T!! FINE!!!!

I can understand some residual effects of a third straight Super Bowl run… but all that time off during the past month wasn’t enough to have the team better prepared to play on Sunday?
Seems like a cop out.
Maybe mental fatigue? Even though they had the time off, I'm sure they're working like mad men on something every day. I don't know. I'm just trying to make sense of it. You would expect them to look crisp as ever and they were....the opposite of that. [Reply]

This isn't really an excuse either but this team also played an insane amount of close games, all the way to another all out battle with the Bills. It should have prepared them for anything but I wonder if that also wore them down a little bit. Almost every week was a grind. [Reply]

Their season is over way before January, let’s be real [Reply]
It would be nice to see the whole context of this quote. Maybe it was more about the radio row and media circus experience vs. the idea of going to the Super Bowl at all. [Reply]

Definitely could have had an effect, but that’s also their own doing.
No reason we should have been going down to the wire with teams like the Panthers and Raiders. [Reply]

I’m sure there is definitely mental fatigue component to all this.
Also battling a sort of ‘been there done this’ attitude for a lot these guys. Makes you less hungry than the Eagles certainly. [Reply]
