Lurie was asked if he’d build a dome? His answer was he’d want to host the biggest events. Basically sounding like his intentions would be to completely change the stadium to be indoors.

Lol...I told you a while ago....they are building a dome...next to where the Linc is.  Opposite side of Wells Fargo.  

3 reasons why the Eagles will win Super Bowl Licks

1) The Eagles win the pass rush game

This is a multi-faceted battle that will take place on both sides of the ball.

First off the Eagles need to beat the Chiefs’ offensive line. The Chiefs’ struggles at left tackle have been well documented this season, but what has slid a little bit under the radar is just how bad their right tackle Jawaan Taylor has played as well. With Andy Reid sliding left guard Joe Thuney out to left tackle to shore up quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ blind side, this leaves two glaring weaknesses in the Chiefs offensive line that the Eagles’ should attack relentlessly.

Left guard Mike Caliendo is a serviceable replacement at best— if I’m Vic Fangio, I’m strongly considering bucking the trend and shifter Jalen Carter over to the right side and pairing him with Nolan Smith Jr., and pin your ears back and come after Mahomes. A player of Carter’s caliber could easily overwhelm Caliendo, and while Smith’s speed will draw Thuney deep into the arch of the pocket where he will be of little help to assist Caliendo— this would give Carter some favorable matchups and, at worse, force Mahomes to scramble to his right, cutting the field in half.

On offense, Jalen Hurts has to be ready for the two or three game-defining moments where Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo brings the heat from an exotic location— Spagnuolo lives and dies by the blitz. At some point, the Chiefs are going to blitz a cornerback on a crucial third down, and Hurts has to be able to get the pass to the vacated receiver and make them pay for rolling the dice.

2) The Eagles create timely turnovers

We see it in every Super Bowl— there is a muffed snap or a fumble on a kick return, and the opposing team recovers the ball and it changes the entire momentum of the game. The Eagles are the best team in the NFL at punching the ball out, whether it’s a receiver getting up from the ground like Austin Eckler in the NFC Championship game, or if you’re ripping the ball out of the return man’s hands.

Chiefs kick returner Nikko Remigio has struggled with fumbles this season and has never played a game on as grand of a stage as this. If the moment is going to be too big for any of the Chiefs players, it’s going to be Remigio.

3) Saquon plays like he is HIM

The Chiefs haven’t allowed a 100-yard rushing to a single running back this season, but they also haven’t played Saquon Barkley. Let’s get this straight— Barkley is better than Derrick Henry, Bijan Robinson, or any other running back Kansas City has faced this year. There were a few drives against the Buffalo Bills where the Chiefs struggled to stop the Bills’ rushing attack at midfield. If the Eagles have a lead heading into halftime, and come out and run the ball down Kansas City’s throat, and are able to put together a couple of long drives and limit Mahomes chances to play hero ball, they will win this game

IMO after the players run the tunnel, we should dedicate this game to maybe the #1 Eagles fan----------- Kobe Bryant. Just a quick tribute on the big screen.Thoughts?

Like fumbling with no pressure? Like that?

Here is the key right here. Remember we had a 10 point lead the first time(but we didn't have Bark then either)

Foles won the SB by being a game manager. Hurts is now a game manager also. We win games in this configuration, If Hurts wants to be in the HOF, the trek begins Sunday. Bark is a machine and he takes over second 1/2's. All Hurts needs to do it not be bonehead. He needs to do this NOW!! Get limitations on Kelce. He is the one to worry about. I would make sure he is blanketed. They also love to use Worthy on sweeps, so watch for that and put a spy on Mahomes. KC is running headlong into a buzz saw. Keep it clean with no TO's and they can't win. TALONS OUT!!!!! Let's GEAUX!!!!!!

Yep. Time of Possession WITH points. Get Mahomes off the field and keep him off as much as possible. And this:

If I'm KC, first play I go after DeJean. It's his first huge game and say what you will, but the butterflies will be there as a rookie and he will be a little vulnerable. It's the final week of "1 game at a time" 😁

Prefer Mahomes to scramble left 

Confuse Mahomes ….while undercutting some of his dink and dunking.

Same strategy they have for Hurts. Of the 2 QB's which one is more prone to making boo boos? 

Interesting stat(which I find surprising) Sacks taken in 2024. Hurts-29 Mahomes 36 and now they have a BU G so we need to get after that. Our BU linemen can start for anyone else

That's why I was talking about our pass rush.

It’s neck and neck. They are fairly on the same level with all of that.

AR has been working very hard to teach Mahomes

https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/nfl-most-qb-sacks-2024  This one says Hurts was 2 higher so now IDK

I was trying to find the yardage lost. I hope Goedert is100% he can be a nice outlet

Since the bye week when they had the grown up conversations.... Hurts has been better at taking care of the ball

Basically changing his game to what Mahomes did in the Superbowl, taking care of the ball first and making the key play when needed.

If you asked this same question going into the bye week ... Mahomes was way better at that point in taking care of the ball

Not even close.  Kudos for Hurts expressing to Siri during the bye that he wanted to change his game and do things to where he excels.  Putting himself in less position to turn the ball over.
