Mahomes helps him solve the game day issue. So basically it boils down to a schematic battle between Reid and Gannon. Think we know who wins that battle.

Believe me when I tell you his first 5-6 years here the timeout usage and game management was maddening to the point many of us felt it was just a continuation of the issues he had with the Eagles. About 4 years ago it started getting better and in the last couple it seems to have become very infrequent. I do think it is a product of a QB that now understands the offense as well as he does. Mahomes is incredibly smart and always feels he can win regardless of the situation. I feel it has calmed Reid’s nerves a bit. Finally winning a Super Bowl didn’t hurt.

And let's be frank here. Not outcoached. Outcoached the F out of them. Like blew their doors off. Now we get a little cheated because we broke all their QBs in the last game. But even that was BAD COACHING on their part. If we stick to the run instead of trying to outsmart ourselves, Sirianni will look like a damn genius. What is Reid going to do? We have more facets than they do. F Reid lol. @Thrive Everyone thinks that KC is somehow going to magically score 30+. Why? How? SHOW ME HOW. They have been average in the playoffs. SHOW ME HOW. The number one pass D and the sack leader (by DOUBLE the amount of sacks they have faced from any other team in the Playoffs) is somehow MAGICALLY going to be out schemed? What are they going to do? RUN AT US? GTFOH with that noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes dropping 30+ points on us isn’t all that crazy a take, considering, well he’s Mahomes (nor would it be the first time he’s done so to a top 3 defense all season and nor would it be the first time a QB has dropped 30+ points on us this very season). Also, didn’t the Chiefs average close to 30ppg this season? Oh and lest we forget, Sirianni isn’t coaching against Reid; unfortunately Gannon is.

But he is not as mobile as usual. And they couldn't do it against Cincy. And he looked AVERAGE right? Average. And the Cincy D is good. Ours is WAY better. Sacks? NOT CLOSE. Not even half again. Pass D. Good but not close. Cincy TOP compared to the Eagles IF WE PLAY OUR GAME? Not close. Gannon has called mostly good games. No truly bad games but a couple of crappy sequences sure. And I think we all agree the zone is for s***. But he has been playing man and it has worked. I think Andy will have to throw lots of screens. Last year's Eagles team, we would have trouble. This year? Go ahead and try. We will keep that s*** in front and force the long drives and the INEVITABLE SB INT from Mahomes. Every SB. EVERY DAMN ONE. His line is best it has been this year but still, our D is other-worldly on pressure AND coverage. And Andy can be counted on to abandon the run. Book it. he will screen him but he ain't going to run at us. NO F WAY. NONE. LOL. Honestly, I truly don't see how KC wins unless the Eagles beat themselves. -- If I told you that you get to choose either the number one pass O versus the number one pass D and a very strong D against the run coupled with a brutal running game, would you NOT take the D team 9 out of 10 times to win? It is basic football. Control the LOS on both sides. Run, stretch TOP, stop the run, D up and force short plays. Give me that every time. And that is WITHOUT Hurts throwing to AJ and Devonta. Man, I feel this game in my bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannon has already beaten every so called coach better than him. Doug P beat Belicheat. The Eagles I’d say are way more likely to make in game adjustments than Reid will also. The Eagles are the better team unlike when they beat the Patriots. Still this won’t be an easy task. The Chiefs are here for a reason. Mahomes is next level special for certain.

That's it, we're better or at worst even (Special Teams) than every position on the field. But that's just on paper still gotta play the game. I'm cautiously optimistic about this game. If we can establish our run game and end drives in TDs, win the t.o.p. we will win this game. I feel like the Eagles will be able to offensively move the ball on the Chiefs via run or pass. I don’t see the Chiefs running on the Eagles. Kelce against our LBs and Safeties is a concern for sure. This game will come down to turnovers. Who will keep the ball and who won’t. Is AR foolish enough to play Reddick one on one with a TE too? Probably won’t be a lot of punts in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was talking about how great Purdy was, but even before the injury he looked average in the game. How about the Giants and Jones? He was supposed to have turned the corner. Pundits were saying the Giants are in a better position than the Eagles because of him. He looked like trash out there. Cooper Rush was the greatest thing since sliced bread and then he faced the Eagles and suddenly he’s just a backup. Mahomes is the biggest test. All the great offensive minds (Gannon has made the great mind of Dabol look pedestrian) who the Eagles went against have fallen. Seriously where are these moments when Gannon’s defense got owned that you’re so afraid of especially when they were at full strength? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the clock management issues have gone away with Mahomes. The first several years were an adventure with Alex Smith and his reputation in Philadelphia is well known. An elite QB like Mahomes kinda ends clock mgmt problems for almost any coach. That being said, Reid tends to be more conservative than he should be in many game situations. The only time his clock mgmt is an issue now is when the Chiefs have a lead and the team doesn't kill the clock well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously where are these moments when Gannon’s defense got owned that you’re so afraid of especially when they were at full strength? I am really interested to see how Gannon approaches this game. When this Chiefs team has lost over the past 4 years (since Spags arrived) it's been because the offense has stalled out. This game could be the exception to that rule but it's something to be aware of. If you go back and watch the Bucs superbowl or the second half of the AFC championship game last year vs. the Bengals you will see that the offense completely self destruct. Part of the issues was the offensive line in the superbowl, but the other part was Todd Bowles just got Mahomes. In the AFC title game, Lou Anarumo got Mahomes. Chiefs were expecting the Bucs to be aggressive and bring 5+ guys every time and play press man. They dropped 8 and Mahomes was constantly hunting the homerun ball. Against the Bengals last year, they dropped 8 in the second half and it broke Mahomes brain again. IMO, if Gannon really wants to break the Chiefs, he will play press man (Chiefs WR aren't great anymore) and double or triple Kelce. I know he doesn't like to play man that much, but this version of the Chiefs doesn't handle it well and a tendency breaker by Gannon at this point in the season could be tough for a beat up Chiefs offense to react to. Ultimately, I firmly believe that the Eagles coverage unit (not the defensive front) is the biggest story. It always is versus Mahomes. If Gannon doesn't self scout his tendencies before this game, Mahomes will light the Eagles defense on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
