I got it 30-27 KC.

Philly runs for over 200, turns it over once. Philly kicker misses a FG at some point.

KC turns it over twice.

KC wins the penalty battle slightly(angering conspiracy theorists that don't realize the last time a SB winner was more penalized than the loser was the 2013 season).

I think the people who screech about "conspiracy theorists" don't realize how easy it is to influence outcomes with a budget here and there. It's not like they're gift wrapping games for the Chiefs but just like the Pats before then it sure seems like every crucial questionable call in their games goes in their favor.

Let me see if the Pats ever lost a penalty battle during the Brady era.

The Chiefs haven't allowed a 100 yard rusher in their last 18 playoff games. Sure Barkley is better than most but that does include several matchup against Henry, and McCaffrey coming off a OPOY season. Could see the Eagles winning but I don't think they run for anywhere near 200. The Bills and Texans were able to run for a lot because the Chiefs had to adjust to stop those passing attacks -- the Eagles are much more limited passing the ball so the Chiefs can load up against the run. Also, Barkley is a big run guy, not someone who grinds out 10 yards on every play -- Chiefs are the best tackling D in the league so if they can limit the big runs I don't think Barkley will do much compared to his last few games.

 

Nothing will surprise me with this game but my guess is the Chiefs win a SB handily for the first time, 31-13 KC.

It's not about the overall penalty count and yardage. It's more about highly situational calls in key moments. A questionable beneficial penalty on 1st down in the 1st quarter deep in your own territory is a lot less impactful than a questionable beneficial penalty on 3rd and long in the 4th quarter on the brink of scoring range.

Yeah, as a Panthers fan I am painfully aware of that but the overall trend is a key thing too.

QB's have had success running against KC this year and this playoffs. I think Hurts gets over 40 rushing on them, if not more. I do thing they bottle up Barkley some but still net around 200 passing.

The issue will be I think they have real problems passing the ball.

Can't believe I will have to root for the Chiefs... Eagles fans are possibly the most insufferable bunch of fans around

I thankfully don't live in East pennsyltuckey and I only know one iggles fan, so go iggles although I think the chiets find a way to stop Barkley and get the win

      Family drama (Cam and Smitty)

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Every team has stories but as curious as I am I kinda hope these stay buried. Cam should apologize and straighten up his references to his old teammates. If he's pissed at the org, be pissed at the org.

      That's not my point, I'm just saying it's a very micro way of looking at it. As I said to someone a week or two ago when they said "we need high draft picks on the defensive side of the ball" That's just a flawed way of looking at building a roster, we need to have impact players on the defensive side of the ball, not necessarily high draft picks, they're two different things.  Everyone keeps talking about going all defense in this draft, but the reality is we need to just forget about the draft right now and focus on defensive FA's. If we target and sign the right players in FA, namely not trying to spread our cap around but sign 1-2 serious impact players with at least one being a pass rusher, then it opens up all sorts of draft possibilities.  Even if we went defense with every pick of our draft, they better not be the most impactful newcomers on the team next year, as it then means we screwed up our free agency.

      There are some signs that they are going to keep him--getting rid of some of their training and conditioning staff--when they go back to grass on the field, I will see that Tepper is on board.  Horn has missed 25 games (more than a season) and I think the field and perhaps the training staff had something to do with his rehab.  They do make a difference.  Furthermore, they lost Brooks again for another year--which may have been the last straw for them.  It is interesting (to your point).  My comment was not based on what I would do--it was based on what they might be thinking (not to say that you were assuming it was my idea).  I look at management from their perspective--not mine.  Any good GM would consider the injury history.  Until we go back to grass, I will assume Tepper is not interested in this aspect of team ownership. Regardless, giving a player who has missed a season and a half in four years a lucrative contract is risky, and that risk needs to be minimized by considering all variables.
