This is the problem with playing the Chiefs. It doesn’t matter how well you play — late in the 4th the refs are going to make sure the chiefs drive gets extended by penalties or, if you have the ball, they’ll spot you wrong or give some tricky tacky call to stall your drive.

We are not likely to win a close game because of this.

We need a 2 score lead with 2 minutes left. If not, the refs will guarantee a Chiefs win.

Absolutely.

Gotta make the gap as wide as possible because there will unquestionably be BS flags in their favor

If the Eagles need to make a defensive stand to win the game and Mahomes throws an incomplete pass on 4th down or an INT or something, I'm gonna wait like 5 minutes to celebrate to make sure they don't whip a flag out given the opponent.

I think the Eagles win in just this fashion.  They stop the Chiefs on the last drive.

When must the Eagles:

Put Nick Gates on IR and elevate Graham?

Release EJ Jenkins with an offer of a future contract and elevate Uzomah?

Designate PS call ups?

I think by 3 or 4 today

I’ll be wearing the Nick Foles #9 SB 52 jersey tomorrow

Still can't believe this one was called.

What a joke of a call. The more I see of Maholmes and his sissy act of calling for flags, the more I want someone from our D to just take his ass out…. Calling on you Jalen Carter!

Just sharing my feelings.  Kate Scott gets similar treatment from others in here.  Why do you care?

Edit: I thought you figured out a long time ago that I am off the reservation more than I am on it.

Because she's a person.  

So did the news about the internet digging through Anna Congdon (Barkley's fiancée) twitter history and finding tweets with her using the n word reach the board? I didn't go through all of those pages

For all our sake, after the Rams game, hoping it does not come down to that.  Though Fangio is here now so there will not be a second half collapse again.  Am thinking the Eagles understand the moment better this time and respect the Chiefs as well so will play with purpose.

Yeah but the worry is they'll be throwing BS flags to keep things close.

Honestly think the Eagles are the better team by a fair margin, but this will be some win if they can pull it off.

One of my all-time favorite runs by a running back in an Eagles uniform was this one...   and weirdly it was this run that made me think that 2017 might be a special season.    I don't know why.   Just something about his unwillingness to be denied.   

Start at 1:08 for the run I am talking about.

Yeah that was weak.    BUT... what I said yesterday, I stand by...  if they get a shot at him like that early in this game... just light him up.   You're going to get 15 yards whether you plant him or just barely touch him, so you might as well get your money's worth and send a message.

4pm for all of it I think.

Call on someone less vital to success that if they get tossed from the game isn't a massive game changing event.

He’s going to get every call. We know this. So if you’re going to hit him, drive that mother F’er straight into the ground.

Someone said it last night — that guy is Sydney Brown.

Yeah, I'm not thinking it is like the Rams game where we give up multiple long drives in four minutes.  However, I do see it being a one score game with Mahomes getting a shot in the last drive to tie or win.  Hopefully I'm wrong and Eagles put the Chiefs away by the end of the 3rd but I suspect it will be close and we find a way to win.

I don't really love the idea of him on the field for the defense... so if that's the plan... I guess they just use him on a safety/corner blitz every play until he gets home (Mahomes)?

Meanwhile, I think he will be mixing it up a ton every ST opportunity he has.   He's part of the difference with this team's mentality, I think.   He's extremely physical and chippy.   BUT, he's also very undisciplined.  He needs to be reigned in a bit on defense.  He overruns things too much.

Just the distraction we need moments before the big game. 

I'm not condoning it, but she was what? 13 when she said it?

He was great that game

Yep. A few of us have said that. Want to cry and get the call anyway? Cool. Put him in the blue tent and don't even slow down.
