I can’t sit here and let you hide behind utilizing terrible stats to make your false case either. Scoring a one yard TD…yes…Pacheco only rushed for one yard….couldn’t go any further. That isn’t the negative you are trying to portray. Then the final drive. Some short games on the ground by them. But it moved the clock. Those short rushes you are belittling…they utilized to completely kill the clock and beat us with. All significant rushes actually.

Started the game with Pacheco gashing us with a run. Then on the final drive he gashed us again on a run on third down. One of the plays of the game. Underrated moment…nobody seems to mention.

Our offense punted 2 times.  Scored 35 points... again...you focus too much on style and irrelevant stuff.

Both teams moved the ball... does it matter how they move the ball when the other team can't stop them?

Hurts fumbled...free 7 points to them.  

Second half we couldn't get a stop...they forced a FG and a punt.   That's the difference.  

It’s all about how they moved the ball. That’s exactly the discussion. You glaze over what actually was working so well for them and made them so unstoppable. I just explained the actual details…of what happened.

To " dumb down" the game

1st half 9 possessions

Eagles score on 4 ... Hurts gift fumble was the 5th.

KC scores 1 out of 4.

That's fact....zero spin...that's the results of the possessions. 

2nd half ... 8 possessions 

KC scores all 4

Eagles score 2,  punt once and run out of time. 

Very simple...  the 2nd half we couldn't stop KC.

The difference... no free 7 points given to us.   Style is irrelevant.   But if you look at it Mahomes was flawless in the 2nd half...his only miss was followed up by a TD throw on the next play.

Trying to speak to you on a much higher level here. You big picture are glazing over what the specific things that made them unstoppable. Why Mahomes became so deadly. You are missing the symbiotic relationship happing that AR murdered us with. We didn’t stop them from scoring in the first half as much as they broke the formula.

So on third down on the Chiefs final drive from their own 41…what couldn’t we stop? Once you actually confront the specific details you’ll begin to understand what really was going on.

Both teams earned 24 points in one of the halves.

We earned 10 in the 2nd half.   They earned 7 plus the free 7 Hurts gave them ....  that's the 4 point difference.

It's nice Pacheco had a 24 yard run early... didn't matter much in the scheme of things though. 

Meant everything to defend. That’s what you are missing. You are glossing over why the Chiefs were unstoppable.

I like the tone it set...KC scoring on one out of 4 drives.   Great tone.

Set the tone for the Eagles to take a lead.   Great tone.

I'll take that tone every game.

What transpired in the 2nd half needs to be corrected. 

Read through my dumbing down if KC’s drives the entire game. That time of them rushing the ball…that’s when they scored. They got away from rushing themselves the two drives they didn’t score. Without the counter we could stop them. 

Every scoring drive I felt like I was repeating myself. They ran…then threw to Slot or TE. Then back and forth. Every scoring drive. Sounds almost identical.

The worst time possible for us. Giving up that 24 yard rush was crippling from a D standpoint. Took us out of just pass D defending. Made the separation and room for them to work Kelce and JuJu. Kelce and JuJu had to command enough to give room for their rushes.

The offense wants to create conflict with defenders. Wants to also not enable the DC to predictably playcall against you.

Without Pacheco rushing like he did…our D makes them one dimensional. Then we had a chance.

The kicker is it should have been us rushing all over them instead.

Rewatch the game now that I explained what happened to you. Totally different than what you clearly saw originally 

Old school football they ran it..then had successful playaction off that. You do understand why that is, right?

The short gain rushes by Pacheco were actually pretty good and effective plays by him also. One yard TD we couldn’t stop him on. A few runs on their final drive that moved the clock so they killed it completely on us. Without those we still would had time left. 

Five minute drive they executed the salt away the win to finish. So that three yard run to start the drive? Actually a quality play. That’s what made it happen. But then giving up the big rush on third down on their side of the field? That was absolutely crucial.

One short rush to start the drive and clock. One short rush to get to the two minute warning.

Hurts didn’t have the bread and butter rushing from anybody else to counter the D coverage. Forced to use No RB backfields even. It definitely matters how both teams operated.

Simple question then. Do you believe after a good rush….it’s easier to pass the next play? And vice versa?

Or do you believe it’s optimal for teams to be one dimensional?

Do you realize all those years what DJax was doing to the defenses that meant so much to the other offensive weapons?

Mahomes is incredible anyway. But Gannon looked like a fool. AR completely owned him. Wasn’t just because Mahomes is or was unstoppable. There was a reason it became so easy for him.

Uncovered guys in the Endzone? Shouldn’t have that kind of effect though

The playcalls and gameplanning AR created mattered. You missed that part.
