AJ Brown's mind was on losing, even when it was 27-21 Eagles

Seems pretty obvious Brown was basically admitting they had little faith in the D stopping the Chiefs since they were unable to do so at any point in the 2nd half.  

It basically looked like last season's game when KC put up a 40 burger but this time they did it without Cheetah. We got better in terms of personnel, they got worse. Ganon learned nothing from last year and still go rekt. KC could have easily put up 40+ again on this dude.

Can’t say I blame him. Gannon has yet to actually win against a good quarterback. Mahomes completed like over 90% oh his second half passes or something to that effect. How of all people were Smith and Kelce so often open? How does a defense get abused near the end zone with the same play leaving guys so wide open? You might could get away with doing that against an average quarterback, but not the best in the game.

It was over before the game started, Defense already made up their mind that they were not going to show up and that pretty much sealed the deal.

What was the D-line supposed to do on that slippery cesspool that they called a football field?

I agree the field was terrible, haven't seen players slip and fall so much in a game.

Well and Sirianni / Steichen for not being aggressive there. But yes mostly at the defense I think. 

The defenses weren't stopping much of anything. And they weren't going to. Elite NFL offenses can go up and down the field in most cases provided they don't hurt themselves with penalties and errors.

This was one of those games. The Chiefs hurt themselves in the first half and the Eagles missed out on a number of opportunities to capitalize further. FG's just aren't going to cut it in a game like that. I was a bit surprised that Sirianni wasn't more aggressive in a few instances in the game. He was plenty aggressive in other instances. Maybe he felt like he couldn't keep going to the well and he already used up his luck.

Well, considering McKinnon slid down at the 1 yard line... its safe to say, that KC merely declined NOT to score 40 on the Eagles.  That TD would have made it 41, with the PAT or 2-point attempt to follow.

Meh.  They got some stops in the first half.  Forced a FG which was missed and actually forced two punts.   But, they couldn't make the adjustments to what KC changed to in the second half... and AR had their number with that 'corndog' play at the goal line that netted them not one, but two easy walk in TDs.   The defensive issues were primarily coaching related.   Andy Reid ate Gannon's lunch.

 

And... offensively, the Eagles' O had to keep pace with whatever the Chiefs' offense put up.  They couldn't quite keep pace.   Would have been nice to have that penalty on Bradberry not be flagged, have KC kick the FG, and then we could have seen what the Eagles' O could do.  Sadly, the entire football world did not get that opportunity.
