The missed call on Bradberry won't stop playing in my mind, which sucks because we should all be hating on Gannon/defense.

The more you think about it the worse it gets.  Watch the play and watch the official do NOTHING as the play unfolds in front of him.  The flag was incredibly late.

The two best qbs (and offenses?) Gannon and the defense faced were Dak and Mahomes. 
 

Dallas punted once

dallas scored on all but 1 drive in the 2nd half (kneel down)

KC scored on all of them

 

dallas scored 40

kc scored 38 (could’ve easily been more)

 

im afraid Gannon this is who Gannon is. His "adjustments” are beyond negligible. If the front 4 doesn’t get anything, he doesn’t adjust. And to think…… I used to think Schwartz never blitzed. Schwartz was Buddy Ryan compared to how passive Gannon is.

We would have won the Super Bowl last night if Jim Schwartz was the DC instead of Jonathan Gannon.

Blitzing Mahomes statistically is an awful idea, but that’s interesting anecdotal evidence to support blitzing. 

But as quick as Mahomes was getting rid of the ball, I’m not sure it would have mattered. Maybe press-man but that’s not really our thing. 

Doesnt have to necessarily be a blitz, just something besides lining up your 4 on their 5 and going straight at them every time.  IIRC, we were doing that early in the game with the fake blitzes and Riddick moving around to create the illusion of pressure.  It seemed like the longer the game went, the simpler our pass rush became.  Eventually it was just a joke and I lost count of how many times Riddick and Sweat had OLman laying on top of them. 

As much as I killed Schwartz his defenses would usually get better over the course of the game.  It seems like Gannon just wants to wait until his talent takes over, but that wasnt going to happen organically last night, he needed to make something happen

It wasn't same surface used during the regular season.  Kind of stupid to debut a new field without any kind of testing.

 

 

Wow that explains a lot because I don't remember the field being a problem when eagkes played there earlier 

It was definitely a problem last night, the NFL should be embarrassed by that joke of a field as should Arizona but they're too busy counting their money to give two Eggs about quality if the game.

I said this last night, if I were watching the game on a black and white TV I would of though the field was covered in snow or ice.

And who had the brilliant idea to cover the whole effin field in paint.

Rugby use digital graphics on the TV feed all over the field, it's like watching a nascar jacket sewed to the field but it's just digital so it doesn't effect the field or the players at all but the NFL a multi bazillion dollar industry feels the need to cover an 800,000 dollar field of crab grass with finger paint...😡

Just stupid stuff 

That game is played on a regular field with out that horrible grass and 5000 gallons of paint the eagles win,I have no doubt.

I think that field was that detrimental to the eagles game plan, it totally neutralized their pass rush which has been the strength of the team all year.

Shame on you NFL shame on you.

I still can't get over the perfect storm sequence that led to the Hurts fumble:

2nd and 1: Gainwell slips short on the crappy field

3rd and 1: Seumalo false start

3rd and 6: Fumble for KC TD

Just unreal.

You would think the script writers would have come up with something more believable than that.  But that's the genius of it... no one could seriously think that they'd write a script like that, but they did.  And Hurts kicking the fumble away from himself... sheer genius!

Yup red didn't throw the flag at the point of illegal coming text he threw it after mahhomes freaked out.

If one didn't feel the need to throw the flag when the purported infraction allegedly happened than no reason to throw the flag retrospectively.

Just a horrible game killing call.

Its an offensive driven and qb driven league

the chiefs were the top passing offense no? They do that to everyone

On the final drive... that was the time to get after it.  Either outcome that comes from that leads to getting the ball back with time to do something with it... either to take the lead at the end, or to tie it up again.  But instead, they continued the soft zone that they'd used all night and just let the time tick away.  

If Steichen signs with the Colts and Johnson gets promoted, what do you think about Pep Hamilton as QB coach?

I'm not saying they were great, by any means.  But to hang the whole game on them is ridiculous.  Reid, Mahomes, and Kelce are all headed to Canton.  KC was going to score points.

I'm not.  I've laid the blame everywhere.  The offense needed to be able to compete in a track meet against the Chiefs, they didn't.  The ST needed to be a net neutral, missed FG by the Chiefs, huge return that set up a TD... they were net negative.  And the defense needed to get ONE stop in the second half, and they couldn't.  They all take the blame.  BUT... playing the 'remove this or that' and the defense only surrendered 24 is silly.  The real important part was the fact that they got exactly zero stops in the second half.  That was the one thing they really couldn't do... and that's what they did.  Offensively, they needed to match, score for score, whatever the Chiefs did.  And they didn't do that.  The FG rather than the TD on the first drive of the second half was a huge 'stop' by the Chiefs.  The 3 and out that followed ended the Eagles' legitimate chance of winning, because the defense was outmatched.

I’m annoyed because they didn’t call penalties all night and the tug was so benign it didn’t actually affect the play. 

For some reason, the refs decided to throw a flag on a play that decided the game. It was atrocious. 

The best comparison I saw for it was like getting ticketed for going 60 in a 55. Yeah, you’re speeding, but what’s the point of enforcing that?

Yup, refs were letting them basically play the whole game then for some inexplicable reason at the most Important part of the game the refs all the sudden get ticky tack.

Just a really bad call.

Sure I agree. We could say the same about the punt return or the Seumalo penalty or the combination of 35 plays run by KC etc

yup

I’m more numb to that loss than anything. At halftime I didn’t think there was any chance the Eagles were going to lose that game. Up 10, team was rolling, Mahomes was limping off. I was preparing to celebrate in the streets all night.

Then after the game I was honestly laying in bed wondering if it was a dream, it’s hard to explain.

It wasn’t like watching a game where you’re clearly outclassed and know the other team is just better. At halftime it felt like a win.

I thought the same.

However it was clear to me Mahomes was over selling that injury.  I'm sure it was bothering him but before halftime he was acting like he couldn't walk.  Then when they're showing him walk to the locker room minutes later he's walking fine.  

This rep is crazy.

I do think the slippery field affected our pass rush more than theirs because they have more power rushers and we have more speed rushers. Still, it's gross that the NFL allowed this.

You’re being generous.  More like 57 in a 55. 

The #1 reason we lost Super Bowl 39 and Super Bowl 57?

OUTCOACHED

And to make it worse, when we had Andy Reid, he got outcoached.  Now when he's against us, he outcoaches us.

I feel like crap. Such a great season seems like it shouldn't have ended like this. That field was garbage, I kept seeing our pass rushers slipping and falling constantly. 

Anyways, trying to be positive...

We have a young franchise quarterback, arguably the best in the conference. 

We have a young head coach only in his second season as a head coach.

We have 2 first round picks.

Some young players like Dean, Blankenship, Davis (if he puts in work), etc. should get a shot to start and might actually be upgrades for the defense next year. 

Appreciate your take and agree mostly'

 The field was the same for both teams...

I am not surprised he didn’t make the adjustment. I brought this up around the Texans game. He’s not quick with in game adjustments. And it’s not just me who’s said this solak, didinger, sheil, Ross tucker and players who work for inside the birds have said this too. And it might not even be that he’s slow to adjust. It might just be that he is stubborn and he’s gonna stick with what he is comfortable with. So it’s not we just simply hate Jonathan Gannon, but pointing out he has a  flaw

Yup I'll say this til I'm blue in the face, on a better surface eagles win that game.

Gannons whole scheme is predicated in getting pressure and sacks without blitzing being able to drop guys in coverage and the edge guys got zero pressure all night because the field was like waking on ice, from the crap grass to the excessive amount of paint it wasn't a surface that was conducive to getting edge pressure 

The chiefs didn't get Any edge pressure with out blitzing either because their guys couldn't plant and go either but the chiefs whole  d  scheme  against hurts isn't based off creating pressure with out blitzing the eagles are dependent on it.

Maybe I'm being a whiner but I've never felt this bad after a game I just feel like the whole thing was set up to help mahhomes and take away the pass rush and that the league wanted a high scoring game that highlighted their marquee qbs not getting hit or hurt.

It's a shame that defense in the league has been relegated to a necessary evil of the game...
