Football is my favorite sport and I can talk it year round. And to me, the draft is like what Christmas was to me as a kids. I watch every minute, and have since 1995. And I remember that 1992 game. Elway and the offense could not do anything. That Eagles defense was dominant. Reggie White is still, to this day, the greatest DE I've ever got to see play in over 30 years of watching football. My favorite game was in 1998. Bubby Brister played in place of an injured Elway and the Broncos just rode Terrell Davis and the run game to a 41-16 win. It was 28-0 after the first quarter and the Broncos just coasted. It's funny, with the exception of the 2009 game, the Eagles Broncos games are typically one sided with the winning team beating the other by at least 17 points going back to that 1992 game.

KINGnabb Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Andy is 3-0 against the Birds since leaving. Patrick isn't 100% but two weeks will help his mobility and ankle. Chiefs are a good team, I just believe we are slightly better. This Pass Rush is going to be a problem for Patrick all day. Also the Chief Defense is not going to be able to stop Jalen or this running game. I believe the Birds win by two scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we all know AR will pass, pass, pass and has trouble making adjustments, especially in a big game. We should have no problem moving the ball against their defense. I'd say off ball LB and DT are a wash. DT we have a better rotation but they have the best DT in the game right now. Chris Jones is the one guy who could wreck this game for Eagles. Seumalo has a history of disastrous games against elite DT's and Dickerson is banged up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs are the 16th ranked defense vs the pass and 8th against the run. Eagles defense needs to keep them out of the end zone - chiefs are ranked 1 in points and yards….it’s gonna be all about getting off the field.

Chiefs run D isn't all that, they just force teams into shootouts but the metrics aren't that high on them. It's an average to mediocre defense across the board with 1 mega star. I expect the eagles to come out running and trapping the shite out of Jones to get his head on a swivel and keep those arms tucked out of Hurts' passing lanes. Keep the ball away from Mahomes and set up the deep shots as game goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boilertiger Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Chiefs fan here. Should be a very interesting game. Tremendous amount of shared history between the two franchises. Andy Reid coached both teams, Dick Vermiel coached both teams, Nick Sirianni was an assistant for KC, Doug Peterson was an assistant for KC, Herm Edwards was Chiefs coach and and long time Eagles player, Brett Veach was a scout for the Eagles, Carl Peterson was Director of Personel for the Eagles, part owner of Philadelphia USFL team and eventually GM/CEO for the Chiefs. I could go on and on. These are the two most well built rosters in the league IMO. The Eagles have obviously stockpiled an incredible collection of talent. Chiefs roster is very good as well and there's Mahomes. My sense is the Eagles have advantages just about everywhere (aside from QB) but none of the advantages are all that significant. The one exception is probably the Eagles edge rushers vs. the Chiefs tackles. Chiefs tackles are both pretty mediocre. Orlando Brown can be okay against bullrushers, but speed rushers will destroy him. If Mecole Hardman and Kadarius Toney are both unavailable, it's going to be problematic. The Chiefs offense is somewhat dependent on their ability to stretch the field horizontally. And their involvement will be key to neutralizing the Eagles pass rush. This game is also a horrific matchup for Chris Jones. He is an immense pass rusher, but he doesn't do zone read stuff. I am not sure that the Eagles have obvious passing situations, but if you do that's the only time Jones may have an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones is the best DL on the field but the Eagles have so much more depth there. Also, with Reddick listed as a LB, I think the Eagles have an advantage at LB.

Dick Vermeil got a good ovation when he came back with the Rams in 1997 also. Barry Sanders is the only player I can recall, with no ties to Philly who got cheered during player intros.

Rey Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I want to see Jalen "and Mahomes at nearly full strength. This last win against the Niners does not feel like I thought it would feel (even though I'm happy we moved on) ... I wish I felt differently, but it's less satisfying than I expected with Purdy going down so early. I don't want that same feeling if we win the Super Bowl ... I want that damn right, pound your chest, we earned it feeling dammit!!! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not get carried away, now. In hindsight, it took an all-time, freakish performance from Foles to keep us in that one, along with the Philly Special, Brady dropping an easy pass, and a moment of magic from Graham and Barnett. It was other-worldly, and it felt destined. This feels more like it has to be earned, in a strange way. 2017 I don't think I ever doubted any performance where we needed a win. There was something in the air, and honestly? I never, ever thought we would lose in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been living in the Philly area for a while now and have some extended family and friends who are diehard Eagles fans. Love that Philly is such a passionate sports town, especially when it comes to football. I enjoy conversing with knowledgable fans of other teams and Eagles fans are definitely that. Just wanted to congratulate you all and hope you beat the hell out of KC in 2 weeks. Welcome to the board. I use to live across the street from Coors field for 7 years and joined the broncos board for similar reasons (non-local fan joining the local board for friendly discussion). Found out that the dude who has John Elway tattooed on his leg was a member there We have a mix of really nice, knowledgeable fans as well as some crazies\trolls. Take it in stride and you'll be fine. Also one dude is an incel who humps EVERY inanimate object he can find. Try to guess who! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
