Just watching the game replay (again!). I'm up to halfway through Q2. Some observations...

* Q and Coop were everywhere. Flying all over
* there were some bad callls for both sides early
* Dotson was quietly excellent
*Those lines are a killer on both sides of the ball, oh mercy

Oh, and that Coop pick six was the absolute killer, alongside the dagger from Jalen to Smitty

How blessed are we right now? Holy moly

That defensive sequence

Amazing

Short gain, and another sack. Man, I knew the defense balled out but that was wild

The pick six series? I watched that again last night.

That was probably the most disastrous series of Football for a team that I've ever seen, especially in a Super Bowl.

1st Down Sack
2nd Down Sack
3rd Down Pick Six

GLORIOUS!

And it's not like it was a team that just lucked into the Super Bowl and had a journeyman QB !

A few posters on here said prior to the game that the Eagles were winning this handily as the Chiefs had no idea what they were walking into.

They were spot on 👏👏.

Chiefs had no answer at all, Eagles could've put 50 up easily, but declared at 40 😀

I still can't believe how good the D and DLine played. Just amazing.

CBs played a lot of man coverage, the Safety's and LBs played an umbrella coverage, and the DLine just hunted and dominated. A beautiful thing.

He's 48-20 after this season, which is 70.6% Round it up to 71%.

It's funny.... when they were 2- 2 early in the season, I was angry about the previous years collapse carrying over, and I trashed nearly EVERYONE. Fire Siri. The Georgia Bulldogs are all wasted picks. Slay is old and washed. Hurts is a RB, not a QB. I went nuts. Why? Because i am passionate about this team and want them to be excellent all the time. But to watch them grow like that, and how fast they pulled it together was amazing. Whatta team. Whatta D. Hurts showed out, the Bulldogs became pit bulls, and Siri got the job done. When Siri said during the game....about the bomb about to be thrown to the Slim Reaper "This could end the game- just call it"- awesome. Fangio is a freekin legend. Well, at least I was honest about it.🤣

Yeah, I thought the Eagles would win convincingly, and my prediction was like 34 to 20.  I was way off when you consider what the final score should've been, lol.   I did think Barkley would have a big game, and I assumed Hurts would play well. So KC surprised me by essentially shutting down Saquon.

He still had nearly 100 total yards to be fair to him. 

Okay so nearly a month on and I’ll be honest… I’m ready for the season to start and to see us go and defend our title. I thought I’d just sit back this year and if we aren’t very good then I wouldn’t be as bothered… But nope I’m ready and hungry for more.

Yeah, but in the run game, he was essentially shut down.  He had a couple of nice runs and picked up some needed first downs, but their gameplan to limit Barkley in the run game worked - it's just that they failed to stop everyone else lol.

Yeah I mean by shutting him down they let Hurts sit back there and pick them apart. So Barkley contributed by forcing KC to focus everything on him.

FYI, NFL Films is producing "Super Bowl LIX: America's Game".   It will air before opening day on September 3rd 2025.  I don't know who will be selected but wouldn't be surprised if it's Jalen, Saquon and Nick and maybe someone on Defense like Brandon again or Zach.  Last time it was Nick, Carson, Brandon and Lagarrett.

Do they still do a separate episode for the coaches? In 2018, they did 'Philly Special' and also 'America's Game'. The first being all coaches, the second being all players.

I think Do Your Job,  DYJ II, and Philly Special were all made by NFL Films.  I would not be surprised if they make one this year.

I think it helps that the Eagles have such close ties to NFL Films in Mount Laurel.

I have no idea if any were made for the Chiefs, Bucs, or Rams.

I think we were all upset at 2-2 after the 1-6 collapse. We are from Philly, our upset is a bit more vocal than other places. We were not unjustified in having concerns and they made significant changes during the bye week  (run heavy, ball protection, Cooper DeJean in the slot, and so on) Siri even shaved his head.

I think there is a terrible trend in the last 5 years or so (CBA related) to use September for what used to be done in preseason so in some ways the teams bring the early season frustration on themselves.

I don't really watch the shows for the other teams, so I just figured that they did it that way for all of them.

I'm unsure, sometimes the Coaches are apart of "America's Game" but it seems it's mostly been the players in the last couple of episodes. Andy did the Chiefs one recently.  I would be shocked if Nick isn't in this one but again Doug wasn't in the last one.   Here is the full history, they've even updated the Eagles episode date but it obviously hasn't been shot yet.

If they do a coaches episode, Nick won't be in it. I just figured that that's how they did it (players and coaches in separate episodes). But I've honestly only watched 2 episodes (I think), total. Both Eagles. I may have watched snippets of other episodes, but before LII, I had no interest in those stories from those other teams. So I've never really paid close attention to how they do it. 

I do fully expect to hear their special America's Game renditions of Fly Eagles Fly that they composed in 2018, in the new episode(s) though. 

Update:

The 2020 Bucs had No Risk It, No Biscuit: Bruce Arians and the 2020 Bucs

I can only find it on YouTube in segments now

I still don't see anything coach focused from the 2021-23 seasons.

From DGunn:

 

A still photo from 'Turning Point' that I saw a little while ago and laughed out loud at the Chief's stats on the scoreboard. Almost halftime and they're averaging 0.9 yards per play. Of course, the play that they're about to run is the Baun INT.
