Superbowl LIX

Gronk says, me likes Philly cheesesteaks!!

see you in two weeks 

Eagles are a better team than they were when they played KC in the SB and KC might not be as good. Two of the best teams going at it , should be good. Hard to bet against Mahomes . 

  Deep thoughts and intelligence… GL 

BOL on the play! 

@RayRayK

 Eagles are a better team than they were when they played KC in the SB and KC might not be as good.

Yes.  Write ups from 2 years ago Chiefs / Eagles can be copied & pasted.  I'll expand on this in later thread but simply put, Eagles run game is only aspect that is significantly better.  Defensively you could argue this team is better.  They are more balanced for sure but don't have the sacks / pressure rate of the 2022 team.  Pass defense is better. Fangio is a plus.  

Chiefs defense is about the same, offensively they are better talent wise but efficiency metric wise are not close to the 2022 team, which ranked #1 overall in offensive efficiency.  "playoff Mahomes" is the same, if not better version.  

Should be another great game.... 

this isn't even the revenge game, maybe to avenge a Superbowl loss ok but they met mid season 2023 @ arrowhead.  KC out gained outplayed in many facets of the game but still lost, and there was no Barkley factor.  Kc has just shown in last two games the all out blitz on these key down conversions, all parties know what's coming so it's a matter of execution of the mass pressure.  Both these teams are so explosive, Saquon can break one tackle a go all the way.  Mahomes can hit any of 4 targets on a screen and have a 30 yard pickup.  So how can you play Under here??  

Superbowls play out like when the dam breaks eventually, the flood gates open after the first score.  But with Saquon in this season he is having and resting instead of the chance of most yards it is hard to not see these Eagles win.  I wish he could've done a season like this with the G-men but the Mara's are stuck in the stone age of GM/ coaching hires.  I don't think the open field between the 20's will be open for Mahomes to just prance down the field, he has 11 picks in the season.  The team as a whole has eliminated that in late there will be spies in the secondary

here's a good point, Philly hasn't played on turf since Thanksgiving week.  But Saquon went for over 250 in that game @LAR

in every game on fast track turf this season except for at Cowboys stadium he has well over 100 yards, even in Brazil @ Corinthians Arena uses GrassMaster.  So the Cowboys shut Barkley down but it didn't stop the Eagles onslaught.  To be fair the Cowboys knew of Barkley and how to defend from when they played the Giants.

 KC has never seen Saquon, maybe Spags has seen him from a sideline but never had to gameplan for 'Green 26'

The chess game has already been set, Spags says he can stop the tush push.... Good Luck Pal 

Hurts squats his warmups what Saquon does on max sets, Spags and Reid really need the hook or by crook refs on these tush push plays 

one last point, since the KC loss midseason vs the Bills they've played @CAR,LV,LAC,CLE,HOU,PIT then outgained by both Houston and Buffalo in the playoffs

They almost lost all three games with CAR, LV, and LAC.  On top of the miracle blocked punt vs DEN, the OT with TB, and let's go back to weeks 1-3 where the Ravens had the half toe non TD tie, then the manhandle noninterference call vs Cinci.  Then another questionable officiating SNF vs the Falcons

Seriously this KC season has shown us the cats have nine lives theory because Mahomes, Kelce, Reid, Spagnola have far exceeded their nine lives in a cats lifetime

I heard today on an podcast that the odds of the Chiefs winning 17 straight one score games is 1 in 100,000 or thereabouts. Also heard that Mahomes is 15-0 in indoor games. 

* @CAR,LV,LAC,@CLE,HOU,@PIT,@DEN *  correction on mistype.

@begginerboy

 Those are some crazy odds, i am going to look back at this 15-0 that is impressive if true but a great quote to live by is 'All good things come to an end'

still 10 days left for research 

@begginerboy

 just going back 3 seasons I see 7-1 regular season and two Superbowl wins in domes to make it 9-1

they lost at Indy Sunday, September 25, 2022 1:00 PM ET 20-17 to Matty Ice Ryan

3 of those wins were vs the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium

KC has gone 12-2 vs LV since Mahomes came on scene 

the turf vs grass angle:

Philly hasn't played on turf since 11/24 @ LAR drubbing...  PHI is 6-0 on turf this season avg win margin 16.33

KC    hasn't played on turn since 11/24 @ CAR... KC is 4-1 on turf this season avg win margin 2.6

GL CAN 

@RayRayK

 Hard to go against Moho n Zebras 

This will be the easiest team they have faced in a superbowl. 3 peat incoming.
