Only reason Skip looks mad is cause everyone else knows his squad is a bunch of front running fraudsters that can only beat up on chump teams. 😂

So are the niners. They're (them and dallas) the epitome of "everyone has a game plan till you get punched in the face"

Bills looking real scary against the Broncos right now too. (Not). This "gauntlet” the Eagles are about to run doesn’t seem nearly as scary as it seemed to be before the season started. The game against the Chiefs is arguably the most difficult game of them all. 

Feels like a good game to bet the under.  SB was a shootout.  Mahomes owns this defense and this may be the worst Philly secondary Mahomes has ever seen.  Our passing offense is really starting to find itself.

With the way the NFL has gone this year, it feels like a good time for an inexplicable, sloppy, low scoring defensive battle.

Crazy they are the best team in the NFL and that’s what they’re talking about? She is supposed to be from the area though. Someone hung a "welcome back traitor” sign on her dad’s house. Yikes. 

She isn't from Philly, she says she is cause it sounds cooler I guess.

She’s from West Reading according to Wiki. I guess that’s close enough to be considered an Eagles fan.

Any given Sunday but the bills have officially flunked out of the guantlet

Remember: the Chiefs lost to the Broncos.  And in their earlier game struggled to come from behind to win only 19-8.  

Eagles fans have been screaming the sky is falling and fear the Chiefs.  They also lost to the Lions, and in some wins have struggled and looked bad.  Mahomes hasn't been great this season yet people still worship him.

The Eagles are the best team in the NFL and are now facing "the gauntlet."  There is no team that should scare an Eagles fan at all.  The Chiefs are beatable and have struggled.  The 49ers lost 3 games in a row (yeah, injuries, Eagles have had a lot of injuries too and keep winning).  The Bills are only 5-5 and just lost to the Broncos as well.  We already beat the Cowboys.  

This stretch of games is still going to be a tough one..but other teams should also be worried about playing the Eagles.  They don't give up and find ways to win even in ugly wins.

When you say maybe the Jags/Bengals, that means you could loop them in since they were on hot streaks. It definitely is not a certainty vote. The point of the post was that outside of the Eagles, as much as we could be better, there really wasn't any solid team out there.

 

How about you pick two teams outside of the Chiefs and Eagles.

Ravens - Looked solid but nothing extraordinary

Jags - Up and down and just got smoked

Dolphins - extreme highs and lows

Steelers - Appreciate the moxy but seem to be limping along

Browns - It's the browns

Texans - This is how bad this year is

 

Lions - haven't beat a team over .500 since opening night. (Technically, i think one of the teams was over .500 when they played_

49'ers - Very hot and very cold

Saints - I got nothing

Seahawks - You go Geno Smith

Girls - Haven't beat a team over .500 and lost to the Cards

Vikings - The fact that they are a playoff team without Cousins is hilarious

 

Chiefs fan who stopped by last winter. Kinda wild to see the vibe of both fanbases and how much different it seems now. Teams are both sitting on HF advantage and multi game leads, but plenty of concern about performance.  Success has probably made both sides a bit spoiled as these are very good teams.

My sense is this will be a FG fest. If either team can manage two TD’s, that will be the game.

23-19 eagles win.

I disagree. That everyone is s—ing all over the Bills makes this game more difficult. They match up well against us.

Anyone believing the media this will now be ‘easy’ is fooling themselves.

Chiefs-Bills-49ers still will be as difficult as it gets. And personally the game against the Bills is the one I think we are most likely to lose.

Still think as everyone is betting on the Chiefs we will have a statement win.

This is where my head is. Mahomes and the WR’s arent ok the same page right now and the Eagles are too good for things to improve enough in just two weeks. Also think the Eagles DL vs Chiefs OL is a much different matchup than last year. I view this Eagles DL as a more imposing unit and the Chiefs OL has changed their tackles out. Chiefs OL isnt bad, but its not playing as well as it was last year.

Chiefs defense isnt great at stopping the run and AJ Brown will likely get one or two game changing plays.

Sorry, but I don’t see how they do match up well against us. They’re an up and down team with no consistency whatsoever. It’s just been put in your head to be nervous about that team. They are 5-5 for a reason and just fired their OC. Ten games in and their record is .500. I get it. They have the great Josh Allen so everyone is scared of the big guy who can run, but Josh Allen isn’t Mahomes, and our quarterback the bum they tried to make him out to be either.  The Bills have the same record as the New Orleans Saints. If the Saints were marching in are you really trying to tell me you would be scared to face them in Philly too? The Eagles get the Bills and 49ers at home. Let’s not underestimate the Eagles home field advantage either.

I wrote this comment at a different location, but I still think it applies… Hard to read any of these games, but playing the Chiefs in Arrowhead coming off a bye week seems a lot harder than playing the Bills and 49ers at home IMO.

By the same token, our defense is a sieve and has no one to stop Travis Kelce from gashing us. Not sure we have anyone to stop Steve Urkle from gashing us.

Conventional wisdom. Look they are inconsistent and 5-5, we’ll beat them easy. Doesn’t work that way. 

Would I be scared of the Saints because of the same record? Hell no.

But we made bad QBs look great, Allen is actually dangerous. And a game against a good QB where all the idiot pundits say it’ll be easy is scary to me.

Let’s hope I’m wrong.

wow, definitely due a win

That looks worse than it is... we only match up with them in the Super Bowl, or once every 4 years (this year being an exception due to the new 17th game being added to the schedule).   So, the met in 2009, 2013, 2017, 2021... 

Somehow they've only met 10 times total (Chiefs lead 6-4).   The first matchup was 1972 (Eagles win), and then they didn't meet again until 1992!  Somehow its been a rather streaky matchup.

This coming week we play a much better quarterback than he is right now, and I seem to recall the Eagles playing against the one they call the G.O.A.T., him throwing for over 500 yards, and the Eagles still winning. We just saw Dak throw for nearly 400, and the Eagles still won. We saw the Eagles go up against "the best offense in the NFL” and they won. They went up against the return of Cooper Cup to go with the Rams dynamic young WR and a healthy Stafford, and won. Sam Howell had the greatest games of his career against the Eagles and they won. So my point is you are what your record indicates who you are. They are no better than the Saints. Any given Sunday any team has a chance, but to worry about the Bills is like worrying about the Saints.

As I said in the Hawkeye thread, if the officiating is fair we should win easy.  Our secondary is really the only issue here imo.  We're the better team imo, so there's no fear there. I hope we kick their butts here, and in a rematch for the SB this season.

If there was a stat for QBs crying for RTP flags after being tackled, Mahomes has to be near the top.

Agree to disagree, mate. 

I hope it will turn out to be easy, really do.

honestly, more by a fumble than a BS PI call.

 

To me the slip and slide field was far more of a robbery than the PI call

They will overhype this game, but either way these 2 teams will go deep in the playoffs.  Every game really matters the same because it's about playoff seeding and getting home field advantage.
