First Superbowl I didnt finish probably since I was in elementary school. What a terribly uninteresting game. Whether it was my disdain for both teams, having to listen to Tom Bradys incompetence or whatever other reason I was incredibly disinterested in the biggest sporting event of the year. 

 

 

I quit watching after the first half....I thought, here we go, Mahomes will get all calls for the greatest come back in the history of the NFL...I couldn't watch that.

Some absolute garbage time stats makes his stat line look a lot better than he played. A couple last minute TDs against a team that was already in celebration mode is the only thing that kept him from having one of the worst SB performances i can remember.

Still made the SB and Bryce still played the Iggles close soooo not sure what kind of dub you think you've gotten yourself

At least the halftime show was fun. Was better than the game.

Yeah, the Chiefs obviously don't suck

Signing Milton Williams and Josh Sweat in free agency just got more difficult.

Now Sirianni will be off the hot seat for a season

Josh Sweat is going to get a huge bag. He might be the top free agent not named Tee Higgins this off season.

Yea, for a season or two. Never say never because it didn't take them very long to axe Doug Pederson after he won a Super Bowl with them in 2017.

I loved every single minute of the Chiefs ass kicking

i should say, every second

the eagles also gave the blueprint, in my opinion, on how to best play the Chiefs

Defensive pressure. Pressure. Pressure. Gap control   

hats off to fangio for his common sense  defensive plan and the execution of it

And offensively ball control.   Saquon did his job as the  chiefs put so much effort into stopping him that it made it so much easier for hurts 

hats off also to the Eagles for knowing football is won in the trenches.  Both of their lines were magnificent

I found this interesting.  If you don't blitz, it's probably because your front 4 is dominating the game.

Quote

Philadelphia was able to pressure Mahomes without blitzing, which was the key to its success. In fact, the Eagles did not blitz Mahomes on any of his 32 dropbacks, making him the sixth quarterback in Super Bowl history to not be blitzed a single time (h/t ESPN Research). Each of those quarterbacks lost the game.

Bryce mentioned Eagles defense as well in one of his interviews during radio row... He mentioned Eagles having a lot of simple looks, not really much exotic looks as far as bringing pressure. They just have a LOT of talent on the defensive side, not to say Fangio doesn't deserve any credit. Superbowl MVP should've been given to Howie (joke), what a job he has done there in philly.

Okay, so I gotta talk about what happened at our house yesterday

Getting Lady Cowboy Fan's family together is always a recipe for something...interesting. Sunday was no different, and it got going with some pre Super Bowl rounds of Pictionary.

Lady Cowboy Fan's daughter-in-law was given a word to try and artistically convey for her team and went right to it. Her initial concept drawing consisted of a big, horizontal, potato shape at the bottom with a thin shaft sticking up out of it that rounded at the other end.

If you're picturing something a bit phallic looking, you've got the idea

Her eleven year old son definitely got that idea, since right there in front of his mom, dad, grandmother (LCF), other grandmother, me and everyone else, he started shouting out "PENIS! ITS A PENIS! A PENIS!"

I like to think of myself as a wordsmith, but the anguished look on his mom's face was something I doubt i could sufficiently put into words even if you paid me a trillion dollars to try. And it didn't get much better when her mom - also in attendance - yelled out "MELISSA, YOU ERASE THAT DRAWING RIGHT NOW! THERE'S CHILDREN HERE!!!"

("children repeatedly shouting the word 'penis' for all the world to hear" I thought to myself, "but okay") 

That wasn't the correct - or appropriate - answer though, so in an attempt to calm things down I saw her turn the whiteboard around and start furiously scribbling. No lie, I genuinely asked myself if she might perchance be attempting to add hair to the balls.

When she flipped the board back around though, what I saw instead was that she had colored both the shaft and the potato shape bright red

(that led to some other ideas which didn't exactly fall under the "family friendly" category either)

All attempts at guessing had been replaced by laughing by that point. Any hope of an answer had vanished, so she pretty much just gave up until time ran out. Once the timer expired, all of us were waiting with great anticipation to hear what the correct answer was since we had absolutely no clue. 

Her word was THERMOMETER 

Enough rounds were played that it did come around to her turn again, but she declined to participate further after that performance. As you might imagine, a few slightly rude jokes were m made at her expense. For the record, I can neither confirm nor deny whether any of those were made by me

That said, I'd be willing to bet those same jokes are likely to be brought up again the next time the whole family gets together. It'll be interesting to see if she's brave enough to attend.

For my part, I'll just say that all episode was probably more fun and memorable than the Super Bowl itself was

Nope...dont remember that at all. 

I'm hoping we get back to the Super Bowl someday. It's a shame we haven't been there since the 2003 season

The Eagles dominated on both sides of the line which was the key to success. And that is how to beat any team by not having to blitz on the defensive side and being able to pass protect and block on the offensive side. 

We have done a good job on the offensive line and need to do the same on the defensive side this year.  I am convinced if we can pressure the quarterback without blitzing like Philly did last night, we would be a contender. I think we really need to upgrade DLine and safety. Everos scheme demands pressure and right now we have no one outside of Brown who can collapse a pocket or demand a double team.
