I'm sick of seeing Hurts look like a deer in the headlight, try to run, and then get sacked.  Can he not read the field to save his life, or is our coaching staff just incapable of scheming our receivers open?

Definitely Hurts doesn't have it in his legs this year.  He has no burst and no confidence.

They'd better pull their heads outta their asses…i expect a way better 2nd half…

I think I despise Mahomes more than Dak.

If you told me Hurts was getting sacked 5 times in the 1st half I'd call you crazy. Our strength has become our weakness. They better turn this around after the half.

The line has given up pressure all season. It's really not that shocking.

I actually didn't expect them to be in this position at this point in the season to be honest....after a superbowl, teams usually go in the opposite direction....but this game right here is proof positive about the NFL and their refs.....I dont care what anybody says about that because you all can see just like I can......

I didnt expect us to win this particular game but I didnt expect to look like this either.....

Here is one adjustment, send gainwell home

The O line needs to step up...Hurts playing tenative not helping that he has no time...five sacks

no, not even close

I wonder if Hurts trying to call audibles is throwing our offense off. I trust his judgement, but the stadium is so loud I wonder if everyone is on the same page. There seems to be some confusion on several plays tonight.  

I hate writing this, but...

Who is the better team? It hurts to say it, but it's not the Eagles. This Chiefs team isn't even as strong as it was a few years ago and we can't beat them. This Eagles team is a hype train mirage that's getting their butts kicked by a very good football team. that usually means we're not very good.

Supposed to dominate up front on defense. Well, they get gassed fast and pushed around in the run game and can't get to Mahommes without a blitz. Embarrassing.

The CB's are looking older. We have no LB'ers worth mentioning. A little pass rush from the outside that is mostly negated. The GREAT O-line isn't great any more. They're getting collapsed on every pass play or missing assignments or not dealing with the stunts. They're playing like crap after 2 weeks to study and practice. Embarrassing.

If the players turn to the coaches for help they get two inexperienced coordinators and an inexperienced fast tracked HC who all are getting schooled by the veteran coaching staff across the field. That mismatch usually takes a handful of years to overcome. The only way to get around it is to have a dominant team in all 3 phases. We don't, so it's back to school in the 2nd half tonight.

This game a a true test of where the 2023 Eagles are. Despite their record, they're not as good as we hoped. They have some really good pieces but this Eagles team isn't complete. Too many mistakes and too much poor play. 

So, we're down by 10 and can't complete a single pass over 3 yards because the QB is getting hit every play. that won't change. if the o-line is getting beat now, it'll only get worse. It sure seems like this game's outcome is a foregone conclusion. The bad guys are winning on Offense, Defense, and ST. I hope the entire team truly learns from this one. 

Lose this game and they're gonna lose next week to Buffalo, too.

Chiefs rush is pushing the pocket and mostly keeping Hurts from escaping.  Eagles rush is very undisciplined and giving Mahomes alot of room to maneuver for time and escape.

How about between zero and none.

Both the   oc DC coaches have been pretty good this year at half time adjustments so we'll see.

There needs to be a steady dose of DeAndre Swift in the second half. It's raining and the pass protection has been crap. Get the run game going and control the clock. 

We don’t do that anymore. If the run doesn’t gain 100 yards on the first four runs we abandon the run

This isn’t the first game our offense sputters when we take him out. Swift has the speed and vision to make plays when there isn’t much there. Boston and Gainwell seem to need a wide lane and an invitation to gain big yards. 

We shall see.....I will watch to see how that first drive goes and if it still looks the same,I will NOT be subjecting myself to watching further....yall can have it and can call me whatever name you wish.....

Spags comes from the JJ school of defence. He knows how to confuse o lines. Stout and co really need to adjust.

Lot of football left to play. Both lines need to play better and we need to get back to stopping the run. Mahomes is known for being super slippery but gotta wrap that dude up when they have the chance. This game would probably be tied if the Oline gave Hurts enough time to see AJ going deep. Let's see what adjustments get made at the half. 

The team needs to revamp the gameplan. Get back to the run and give the defense some rest. Special Teams needs to friggin tackle and Desai needs to realize 4 aren’t getting home and because of it guys are running free anyway. Time to send some more blitzes, and the offense needs to wake up and run more and also more short passes.

Some of that could be blamed on playcalling. After we hit Maholmes a few times early they adjusted with more 2 step drops, screens and stretch runs. What do the eagles do? Continue to stand Hurts back there until the protection breaks down and he gets squashed.

Agreed, we need a hot route for Hurts to get the ball out quick. It seems like our pass plays take a while to set up.

Why the hell are we not blitzing an extra guy on 3rd and longs, and playing up on the receivers?

somebody help me understand….

instead of sending an extra lb on a blitz and jam the receivers, even if he completes the pass itll be a short pass

It’s one of the greatest mysteries in the history of the universe.

Clearly you have not watched any games this year, you don't know what you are talking about, mahomes has not been that great this year at all

Get the f out of here. Maholmes, out throws, out runs, out reads defenses and hell even interviews better than Hurts. That's why he wins MVP every year. And as far as your stupid ass comment about the secondary. They pick themselves in the endzone and leave the best tight end in football wide open in the end zone!? How about Slay getting juked out of his socks instead of breaking down and fundamentally tackling the guy. It's you that doesn't know what there talking about.

I haven’t seen much of Scott this season, but Gainwell has been the go to relief and he just doesn’t do it for this team. He’s had his moments, but he’s been a momentum killer too.

They will beat buffalo, San fran is the big game, NO 1 seed is gone though with this loss because  detroit beat KC

We'll still be the 1 seed after tonight because of conference record. I don't think common opponents applies until later, and only if there is a minimum of 4 common opponents.

We're about to find out if they're adjusting anything.

Let's see. If they call long developing pass plays with hurts standing like a statue in the pocket we will know 🙂
