Let’s not waste any time on an ill-thought-out preamble.

To The Game!

Eagles/Chiefs:

-Spags Alert!: The Chiefs have allowed but one 100 yard rusher this year. The bad news for Saquon? It was a QB by the name of Lamar! and it was waaay back in week one.

-Here’s some more bad news for Philly-Mahomes is 8-0 vs Fangio defenses. However, this is the first time in his playoff career that he’s playing against a #1 ranked unit.

-Though Hurts went for 246 two weeks ago, in the other two games he threw for less than 146 yards.

-Much has been made of K.C. having won 17 straight one score games but the Eagles have been tested and their record this year in those games is 9-2.

-Jake Elliot being 1 of 8 from 50+ yards is going to affect Sirianni’s decision-making. Will Philly fans be cognizant of this should a choice fizzle? You know the answer.

-During these playoffs the Eagles D has forced 10 turnovers and they have not turned the ball over yet. As a matter of fact, Hurts hasn’t thrown an INT since November 10th.

-Sirianni is the only coach to reach the playoffs and go to two Super Bowls in his first four years. (I thought Seifert might have done so but he missed the playoffs in his third year with a 10-6 record and won his 2nd Super Bowl in his fifth year. Btw, does anyone remember him coaching Carolina?)

-As you may have guessed, Patty’s QBR is 10 points higher in the postseason.

-Potential wide receiver surprises today? I’ll take D-Hop, who has only one catch so far. He’s a proven guy and Reid has a habit of going to an unlikely source at an important time. On the other side Devonta Smith will not attract much attention-he could erupt.

-Reid is 33-7 with two weeks to prepare for a game.

-Though the best part of his game is scrambles and designed runs, Hurts led all QB’s in completion percentage over expectation this season. (+7%)

-Should they win, the Chiefs +59 point differential (to this point in the season) would be the 4th-lowest of any Super Bowl victor. It pains me to say it but should that happen, it would be Andy’s (and Spags!) best coaching job ever.

Get in here and do your thing. And you folks we haven’t seen in some time, please do drop by and say hello. We’d love to see you!
