Super Bowl 57 PreGame Discussion: Chiefs vs. Eagles (Andy Reid bowl)

[Real fan 02]

Word

Reid had Donavan McNabb and Alex Smith and could not close the deal. The best coach in the world cant win without the QB executing the plays called.

Real talk! BB learned that this season.. a head coach is only as good as his staff, and the execution of the play call.. from the QB.. we benefited from Supreme QB play during the dynasty era

 

[Triumph]

There were bad calls for sure, but what an idiotic hit out of bounds on Mahomes to put the Chiefs in FG range. The Chiefs had 8 seconds with 0 timeouts, and a 1st down to make it to FG range.

Draft another QB or bring in Jimmy.

Cant risk another season on a inferior QB.

Now that ownership stepped in and reorganized the offense, I'm expecting some moves on offense and defense In free agency, I don't believe they are going to do that on a QB, this is the determining season to see if Mac is the future of this franchise.. I believe he is.. in groh I trust for my personnel and drafting in BB I trust for Xs and Os..

I think this is about health. The Eagles have a huge advantage there.

 

[Kontradiction]

Chiefs have Jones & Clarke on D. Have Kelce on O

QB is the big one though. Eagles pass rush is negated if Mahomes gets the ball out quick and doesn't try to look for that home run pass. Got to think Eagles focus is on Kelce and forcing someone else to beat them. Someone like JuJu or Hardman has to come up big in this game.

Reid has the experience. Sirianni first trip to big dance. Will that play a factor? Who knows.

We need to win this game. 2 SB losses with a title game collapse mixed in would be soul crushing.

Mahomes foot will hopefully be fully healed. But I'm not sure we can take this game if we are scoring 20-25 points. Might take 30's or more. I'm not sold on Hurts yet. Can he win in a close postseason game where his D isn't playing excellent?

What keeps me hopeful is that generally the better QB seems to win these games. There have been exceptions due to unique circumstances.

2013: Seahawks destroyed Manning behind an all time great D.

2015: Broncos beat Cats behind an all time great D.

2017: Butler fiasco

The problem with your O is that if Kelce isn’t wide open, Mahomes tends to hold the ball and play sandlot football in the offensive backfield. Your WR corps, sans Kelce, really isn’t great. If the Eagles flood the middle hook and dedicate their game plan to taking out Kelce, nobody else on your offense is going to kill them and Mahomes is going to get beat up. The Eagles’ OL is also excellent and just dominated the LoS against a much better 49ers front yesterday. The only way I see the Eagles losing the game is it Hurts just absolutely chokes the game away.

Hurts can just hand off. Throw safe passes. Maybe run a little. They don't need him to be awesome. The rest of the team is good enough to get the job done.

That's what we heard about the Niners going into the NFCCG. Hurts is going to have to make some big throws if the Eagles are going to win (as does Mahomes).

 

[Kdo5]

I’m leaning toward the Eagles winning although I’ll be rooting for Mahomes to get his second ring. For years I’ve thought he is the best QB to come about in the 21st century who is not named Brady or Manning.

Jimmy? He's just as mediocre as Mac

 

[Pape]

Is there a prop bet on the chiefseats getting another "do over"?

 

[Triumph]

Jimmy? He's just as mediocre as Mac

I know but at least you can win a playoff game with him.

Goal isn't to win a playoff game it's to win a super bowl. Jimmy's just gonna ask for money he isn't worth for someone who choked his one SB appearance away

 

[sb1]

And here we go with this stuff. Get used to this it's only going to get worse if the Chiefs win the SB.

Have to win a playoff game first.

Jimmy only made 14 million last year and might take less on a prove it deal. At least Jimmy got in a Super Bowl without paying. Corky is not good enough to beat Allen, Burrow or Mahomes. Lawrence is moving up too.

 

[Trolltolls]

Eagles lines will dominate. Mahomes will have to be special to have a chance.

It's going to get worse

 

[Steve102]

I think I have a Jete/Giant/Manning-era Colts level of hatred for the Eagles. I don't mind the Chiefs, but I think the Eagles are gonna smoke them.

 

[sb1]

It's going to get worse

Yup you'd think he had some humility after eating crow in 2020 but I guess not. He's gonna be unlistenable.

 

[sb1]

I have no opinion on the Eagles either way. So I'm cheering for the Chiefs to lose in 2 weeks.
