SB LVll Game Thread: Eagles VS Chiefs

[Behindenemylines]

So it’s 2023 and the NFL still can’t figure out what a catch is, or what a penalty is. 
 

such BS.

There is one reason the Chiefs won this game, the OL. Their OL dominated that Eagles defensive front. 

 

Fix the OL, LEGITIMATELY FIX THE OL, and the Bills aren't on the couch next year for the SB. 

Agreed. After seeing what the Bengals middling pass rush did to us, I have to say the Eagles would have eaten our O line alive. And the weird thing is KC had the exact same dysfunctional O line a couple years ago and then completely fixed it in one off-season. Whereas we stand pat, or sub a Saffold for a Boettger.

Unfortunately their are teams behind the Bills that are catching up, more than the Bills are catching up to KC and Cincy.

 

You have no clue that is true. You won't know that until the regular season starts after the draft, FAs gained and lost by all teams and who gets injured in training camp and is out long term.

I agree, they won’t, they don’t care, some of it’s definitely on purpose.

that was arguably the worst penalty ever called in superbowl history.

 

what a debacle.

Thank you. Wasn’t even an interpretation call. It was just wrong.

Anti-climactic ending, but a fun game overall between what were clearly the two best teams in the league. Eagles earned their stripes. Chiefs are a dynasty. Congrats to Mahomes and KC.

Wasn't it called on 2nd down? Can't recall but thought they still had 3rd down if it wasn't called.

 

It was 3rd & 8. Should have been 4th & 8. They would have kicked a FG and given the ball back to Philly with about a minute and a half left.

That Eagles defense did nothing. Led the league in sacks and left Mahomes infinity time to throw in the 2nd half.

 

It doesn't matter how good your defense is in the NFL today. You need a consistently dominant offense.

Vic Fangio helped create the game plan.

KC likely wins that game without the holding call.

 

But refs, C'MON.  You have to be more careful w/ a few minutes to go in the game. You could have called that a dozen times, at least,  Keep it consistent, and above all, DO NOT make calls that decide games.  

 

A surprise to anyone that the Chiefs got a drive extending call from the NFL in a big moment?  A complete joke at this point.

Again it's amazing what some quick passes and a running game will do to slow down a pass rush.  If you just drop back every snap the defense knows where to find you and if you like to hold the ball for the deeper routes not only are you throwing lower percentage passes even on target you are increasing the chances your line can't block that long.  I'm all for blocking it up and taking a deep shot but you have to make moving the chains easier and you have to slow down that pass rush.  If you get the ball out early and move the chains 3 or 4 times the pass rush slows down.

I've only been saying this for 5 years. Tired of waiting for these knuckleheads to figure it out.

Mahomes threw for 182 yards. 

Don't get got up in passing yard stats. He was great especially in the second half.

 

The guy is a winner and has the it factor to the max. The Mahomes hate here continues after he put on his 2nd ring.

 

Yet, Allen is crowned the best with not even a sniff of a Super Bowl t-shirt.

 

It's mostly not Allen's fault. The Bills organization has failed him in so many ways. There's a chance that he's wasting away his prime in Buffalo. Like so many on here have said look at what Allen would do on a teams like the Dolphins, Chargers, Jets, KC, Dallas, and Philly to name a few. 

 

In retrospect, the game was a lot of fun to watch. Enjoyed it as a football fan. On the other hand, I couldn't help but think what coulda shoulda been.

Eagles might have beat the Bills by 30 tonight with the Bills oline.

Would it suck if it was a family member of yours he ran over?

Only way he could do that is drive through the front of my house. Which as sauced as his dysfunctional family members get, still a possibility.

 

Was I supposed to feel weepy about your poignant retort? I’m not.
