Final Chiefs Game Prediction Results

@just relax with a prediction of Eagles 23 and Chiefs 17 gets the win this week.  A total of 55 predictions were recorded with 46 for an Eagles win and 9 for a Chiefs win.  The average predicted score was Eagles 28 Chiefs 22. 

3 Bonus predictions ... possibly 5 ... were correct.

@EagleJoe8 with "Hurts 1 Tush Push TD"

@EaglesIreland with "Defense comes up big and is the difference"

@pgcd3 with "Mukuba INT"

The two possibles are @MR-CYN with "Back and forth nail biter" and @joemas6 with "Nolan Smith drops into coverage less than 3 times" If anyone has thoughts about the correctness of those two predictions, please post them in a reply.

Here is a visual of the final list of predictions.

People were accepting the rust because it's the beginning of the season but we had important games for seeding at the beginning this year

Didn't Hurts fumble and we recovered? Makes sense it's not counted in the stats but it still happened

Yes, but that's not a turnover. It's only a turnover if you lose possession.

Not sure about that. Maybe they meant Reed jumps the crosser because Mukuba didn't get the proper depth post-snap, but asking Mukuba to swing back and help cover a skinny post from the flanker on the opposite side of the field is a bit of a stretch.

Looks like Mukuba is robbing while Reed has the over the top responsibility on this one.

My conern is the routes he is running but the lack of creativity before the snap to get him open.

I hate, hate, hate routes that terminate early as it is, but it makes my blood boil when we do it with our best F'ing WR especially at the boundary. I counted at least 4 or 5 times where it happened, including the one where HE is saying Hurts screwed up by not hitting Dotson with a hole shot.

I wasn't blaming him. I was saying he'd have a pick if AJ didn't pull that off

That's fine, it would've been one of those box score INTs that lacks context is all.

Yeah that's my assumption too, and why I said the only way to pin it on Mukuba is if Reed thought he didn't get deep enough but as it unfolds, it seems like Kuba would've had it covered fine and Reed got a little too trigger happy. Curious to see if either of them or Vic mentions anything about it.

Yes but it happened

We didn't have a turnover but Hurts fumbled and a linemen picked it up I believe. He also had a most likely interception coming if AJ Brown didn't superman that catch.

I won't count that against anyone. It wouldn't have been an almost INT unless Brown was falling. And despite falling, made a great catch. Cancels everything out beautifully.

Hard to believe but aj actually had 8 targets yesterday.

8 targets at a total of about 30 yards downfield.

This explains a lot regarding the risk averse offense we’re seeing.

On the left you got 3 DBs vs 3WRs, I think Dejean takes the shallow out, and Reed should've taken the post while Mukuba/LBs should have worried about the cheese. Quinyon had to find work, and Adoree looks like he's blitzing or something, so not a vanilla C3 play. Given the amount of time Mahomes held the ball, it would've been a tough cover for the deep S versus a WR anyway.

It's interesting to me we were all worried about the defense coming into the season. They have work to do but Vic has been able to adjust quickly with so many new pieces and they will get better as the season goes along. He deserves a lot of credit.

Vic is my favorite DC for this team since JJ. I love a miserable old cuss DC that's been around the game forever and knows exactly what he wants to do to his opponent.

True but different positions

Blindspots are blindspots.

The Eagles Played their heated Division Rival and had a Super Bowl Rematch with a team wanting Revenge and came out of 2-0. Of course there are things to clean up but last year they were 1-1. I think the Defense is playing better earlier than last year too.

I just didn't think that was a good comparison 🤷‍♂️

Didn’t realize that. I missed the first 2 or 3 drives because the giants cowboys game went into OT

Exactly, and he's late in doing so. He knows Coop is underneath so not sure why he's a step slow on bailing from the trailing WR but oh well. Hats off to Andy on a well designed play with complimentary route combos (what's that like?)

I guess Quinyon has to double check for a crosser from the other side of the formation, but yeah you'd hope to have 2 guys closing in on the deep post. We had one, late and already out leveraged by the play design.

EDIT: also Quinyon has to keep an eye on the intermediate route - if he over committed to the post and the cheese ran and out to his side rather than an in away from him, his zone would've been vacated for an easy catch.

This has nothing to do with Jalen Hurts.

I keep harping on all the runs and only runs on 2nd and short. You make it easy on the offense by going against expectations. This offense does that about 2% of the time. Patullo gets an F- through 2 games.

Worst case for Hurts and Siri: If it turns out that Hurts and Siri are stupid play callers and Moore / Shane Steichen saved them then Patullo also needs to save them.

Patullo and his committee needs to suck much less on formations and tendencies.

Every time they showed Kevin O'Connell talking to McCarthy on the sidelines last night, I got the impression KOC was thinking "Wow; I have a ton of work to do to make this guy a good NFL QB". I can't imagine what goes through Ben Johnson's head when he tries to coach Caleb Williams.

It's interdependent, obviously, but yeah if he assumes Coop carries the trail then the back that eventually leaks to the flat is wide open with plenty of green ahead of him. But at the point he bails, the back hasn't leaked yet, so I still think it was the motion itself that drew his attention, rather than Coop's positioning but hard to say from here with any confidence.
