The Eagles are playing perfect football, the Chiefs just look like garbage. Nothing Mahomes is doing looks like anything he’s done his whole career - I wonder if he’s been nursing an injury. I don’t remember any major hits he took against the Bills.

Another holding call on kc.

And illegal man down field.

Kc getting the penalties.

The Philly front four have consistently been in Mahomes’ face for pretty much the entire 2nd quarter.

God _damn._ Punks step up to get a beat down.

On PTI, Booger McFarland was saying how he expected Spags to take away Barkley and the running game. In his mind, Jalen Hurts would be the MVP if the Eagles win.

But I think Barkley is going to run wild in the second half. He already had an 8-yard run on first down late in this first half. I see many more of those coming in the second.

He catches that without breaking stride and it’s likely 6 points.

Yet another game where the play in the trenches has been the deciding factor so far. Gotta love it.

Trying to think of a SB where the QB didn’t start the 2nd half. Elway & the Broncos got crushed 55-10 in XXIV and he played the whole game.

Looks like Patrick forgot to eat his Wheaties this morning. The rest of the Chiefs too.

I am also loving that, despite being contained so far, Saquon is having a helluva impact in pass pro and run blocking.

If KC brings in Wentz I wouldn’t blame them.

I’ve already had to take off my Eagle hat to adjust to larger size. 😁

But I shouldn’t speak too soon. I think Barkley gets another 60 yards and a TD. But I won’t put it past KC getting 24 unanswered points. They’ve done that before.

Didn’t see this coming at all. You’d think the Chiefs would have got a few more first downs. No good long passes. Not even able to protect their QB. Wow.

It may be true if anyone can flip the script, it’s KC. But at what point do they consider starting their backup QB?

Anyone else having trouble hearing the commentary over the crowd noise during the game? I guess they want us to be excited but it’s just like a constant buzz of background noise with a few tinny voices barely audible.

Unless he’s actually hurt, at no point do they consider swapping Patrick Mahomes for Carson Wentz.

The talk of swapping QBs on either side is absolutely ridiculous. Not happening.
