Some thoughts:

Spags has been stewing about the 40 points ran up at the SB all offseason, and their D performance reflected that. Tough, focused, strong and unrelenting.  I wouldn’t be too hard on the O (yet) as it was stifling and attritional all day.  Credit to Spags there, prepped like a coach with a massive chip on his shoulder.

The Eagles D had Mahomes hearing phantom footsteps all day.  You can see he’s uncomfortable out there; its no longer easy for him and some missed throws show that. As for Trav?  He looks cooked right now.  Their O in general gives a whiff of ARs Eagles in 2011 and 2012.

X is unhappy at the favourable calls the Eagles got - which is ridiculous. Granted, Steen and Dickerson false started on some shoves, but equally, the Chiefs were lined up offside on every push too. The Chiefs OL showed great tackling technique on some snaps.  Ergo, the officiating was not good in general and there were some areas of the field, where I think they just gave up unless it was truly egregious.  The spot that Siri tried to challenge was not good. 

The Eagles O was too safe at times; to a point, I can understand it because the ball had to get out ASAP, but it shouldn’t be a crutch they rely on forever.  It needs to open up.

A win, is a win, is a win though

I don't get the ref criticism as biased against the Chiefs as there isn't another team in the NFL that would get that roughing the passer call on third down, also Mitchell or Jackson would've been called for one or both of the amount of contact before the ball got there on the sideline catch that Devonta almost got, or the slamming to the ground after forward progress had stopped on the one he did catch.

That Patullo quote last week about not scripting any plays is not sitting well with me.

I think he needs to learn not to let defenses dictate his play calling. In both games he has turtled up in crunch time for no reason.

I don't care what anyone says, there's no doubt in my mind that AJ Brown is a little dinged up still. But we've got other options and he needs how to figure out how to work those deep shots in throughout the game

It's just early season ring rust, same as last year, Patullo can't just run Moore's playbook out again, plus Eberflus and Spags are top end DC's to get first two games.

If it still looks stuttery in 3 games then I'll start to be concerned, but I think a lot of people think that not looking like world beaters 2 games in means that Patullo is another Brian Johnson, when he could just as easily be another Kellen Moore (1-1) or Frank Reich (1-1).

Two things we say every year.

-If they look this sloppy in this amount of weeks, it's time to worry.

-One of these weeks the Eagles will play a complete game.

They keep on winning, but why does it feel like pulling teeth with this team so much? Best OL in the NFL, top 3 and top 10 WR, best RB in the NFL, unstoppable short yardage play, terrific young defense, efficient QB. All of those things combined shouldn't equal the product we see on the field.

Devontas Smith's first deep ball should have been DPI and it would have been if he was wearing a red jersey.

Twice the refs screwed the Eagles with the classic KC spot where they just randomly decide the runner was a yard behind where he actually was.

AJ Brown's last catch was 100% a first down but they ignored it, didn't even review it during a timeout, and we all moved on.

The Chiefs were holding all day long, especially their last drive. OL with full bear hugs on our DL.

The roughing the passer on 3rd and 20 was a disgrace. Mahomes turned his head and wasn't even contacted in the face or head.

I don't want to hear about refs from whining Chiefs fans. They got a damn SB from a ticky tack defensive holding call.. f them to eternity

one thing we say every year since Sirianni's year 2 on the job 'Oh noes we should be steamrollering every team for 50 or we're not playing to our talent.'

Teams that look in championship form in early September rarely look it in January.

It just needs to settle down, maybe there'll be another story leaked to the press about senior players going to see Sirianni like last year, but it will pick up, we're not turning the ball over while knocking out the rust this year.

Nah, this is AI. AJ Brown has a ruptured hamstring, can barely move and is losing to father time.

That's what I've been told anyway

First…I think it’s still too early to be worried. October should be much better.

Secondly, I think some are overlooking the fact that the Eagles are going to play every game this year against teams that are trying to beat the champs. That’s a very real dynamic. It’s why it’s so hard to be the hunted. Do people really think the Cowboys were as amped up to play the Giants yesterday as they were to play the birds?

They said because Smith stopped? But then he tried to go again and the defender held him up. So its legal to interfere with a stop and go route now? I suspect the refs determined it was an uncatchable ball since he stopped running which would be a fair no call because it looked pretty well overthrown from where he was.

1 QB was under tons of pressure from an elite defense, and had his best WRs not even suited up for the game.

The other QB was Jalen Hurts who has absolutely no excuses.

You are incredibly boring.

Calcaterra's in his 4th season with us and I still couldn't point to one thing he does particularly well apart from being cheaper than a decent Vet.

Honestly for all we've used Metchie coupled with Goedert's injury record we might have been better keeping Harrison Bryant around.

0:03 a good QB has the ball out already to hit that route on the bottom of the screen in between the CB and S zone pass off. Its exactly what used to happen to Slay and Bradberry over, and over, and over again when our secondary stunk.

He could also have hit the curl route on the top of the screen if he delivered the ball with anticipation towards the outside shoulder.

But those are timing routes that Hurts does not feel comfortable throwing.

You are just being pissy to be pissy. It's one note, over and over. You can be much better than that but you choose not to be.

The one with the safety sitting on top of the whole way? Sure, Jan.

was a great tackle by Mukuba reminds me of last year on dejean’s tackle in cincy on 4th down

You dont know ball... You think Im saying to throw deep. Im saying to put it in the window right between the 2 zones. Again, if you paid attention it has happened to us many times. It happens around the entire NFL. Its a regular, routine NFL throw. Our QB doesnt do that stuff though.
