We should have benched Edwards at the half for Dean. Edwards was the worst defender. He made one good tackle (flat checkdown to Kelce). Rest was missed assignments.

LB is priority #1. It's killing our run defense and ability to pass off zones in coverage.

With our talent on O? Many put up even more

Good call. If we had stopped them once in the second half, we win. But yeah, it was reasonable to expect more than 35 points on offense. Get some sleep

Why? His consulting obviously didn’t do shite. He can go on and help Miami fail. 

He's a zone guy too. F that. I want nothing to do with that style defense. Costed us a f'n Super Bowl

I can’t blame the refs. The thing I’m most annoyed about is the wasted timeout. We have 40 seconds to get a fg and it was wasted on a delay of game. We also had 0 urgency on the last drive. We should have been aggressive but we were waiting till the clock was almost at 0 to snap the ball.

Agree.  The whole 4th quarter we needed more urgency knowing the D wouldn’t hold up.  You have to run the two minute earlier in the quarter to try to steal an extra possession at the end.

When the Eagles are designing their offense moving forward, they need to realize that Jalen Hurts IS A POCKET QUARTERBACK.

I don’t know how the F we got here, but here we are.

The dude is a pocket passer.  Keep him in the pocket.  He makes great decisions, sees the field, and is accurate.  Tonight, he actually made some great throws on the run.  But that’s really the exception rather than the rule with him.

Also…great running threat.  But someone needs to go back and look at his effectiveness as a runner on designed runs vs broken plays. On the broken plays…it’s really not that good. Designed runs…he’s very effective.  All more reason to sit him in the pocket and treat him like the pocket qb that he is unless you are specifically calling his number on a running play.

It seemed they had never practiced a scramble drill. Which is strange considering how often Hurts would leave pockets last year.

He was so bad. I'm not sure he could see a bus driving into his driveway let alone find the RB in the right hole.

Yep. That flag is not something I'll get past soon. It all doesn't feel real. As bad as the defense played they stopped them...and they should have had a lot of time to tie it up bit that was ripped away.

Yup the defense finally gets a 3rd down stop late in the game and they get bailed out by a ticky tack call.  

Bradberry grabbed him a little yes but we see way, way worse every single game, evey single week than that.  Awful time for the ref to call that.

Fffuuuuuccckkkk I need water

Yup, against all odds, you’re exactly right. Dude can throw. You were like me in terms of not thinking it was possible. How some people still can’t admit that is beyond me. 

 

From a production standpoint, the NFL makes the Super Bowl pretty unbearable to watch...at least the pre-game stuff.  Does anyone care about ANYTHING they did?

Not only was it way too much but it also took away from the game itself.  The way they had DJ Khaled rapping before the teams came out, to the teams just what seemed like jogging on to the field.

I also didn't notice if they ever did player introductions or starting lineups once the game started.

Zone can win super bowls, man can win super bowls, but the inability to get a cohesive game plan together and make adjustments when it doesn’t work will not win a Super Bowl.

Consulting/advising doesn’t matter if the person you’re consulting is just gonna continue on their usual way. He wasn’t the one calling plays. 

He was there all year. Him calling plays wouldn’t have changed a thing.

I love how they showed the comparison of the coin toss from the first SB to now. It is way over produced.

CGJ was one of the few defenders who showed up tonight. Need to bring him back.

I was screaming at the top of my lungs to go for an onsides kick after we tied it up. Worst case scenario you leave yourself with more time after they score.

It’s obnoxious. But all that crap is to get ppl who don’t care about football to watch

I didn’t think the pass rush was "that bad.” Mahomes is just so damn good at getting out of trouble.

Reddick got destroyed tonight, huge disappointment for me because my biggest fear was the lack of a premier rusher.

Fletcher Cox also needs to go. Second straight no show in a Super Bowl 

Should’ve been KC kicking the field goal and then we have Hurts trying to lead Philly down the field with about 2 minutes. Maybe even a gutsy go for the TD call instead of the tie from Siriani. But an old guy throwing laundry at a nonexistent penalty was cool too…..

Sanders first run he bounced outside twice when he should have just run forward. He’s done that all year and his vision is lacking. Gainwell hits the hole hard and fast but he’s not durable enough to be the lead back. Birds need to draft a lead RB.

I want Gibbs or Robinson. Would probably need to use our later 1st rd pick to get one of them.

NFL is a $$$ business and influence the games.

All you need are the refs and coaches on your payroll.

If you believe chiefs players were running around wide open by accident you should consider thinking outside the box 

Of course it is better for the NFL to have their new superstar cement his legacy, and thus that it how it is written.

I'm VERY concerned he's back. He's Howie's  undrafted guy, along with Epps who can also go. Howie's slot CB was trash too tonight, who he paid handsomely. Very nervous for the future if Howie brings all his guys back.
