Eagles Win Super Bowl 59
00:00:21
Speaker
Alright, welcome back to another episode of The Goalpost. The dust has settled after a few days. And the Eagles are your Super Bowl 59 champions. 40-22 over the Kansas City Chiefs. Something I think nobody saw coming. Especially my co-host Patrick.
00:00:47
Speaker
and This is this there's no other way to start the show this was a absolute surprise to To most of us and maybe not Eagles fans, but I'm still even though it's been a few days Absolutely stunned by that result if i changed one word damien one word in my bold prediction i look like a genius uh so i i'm gonna say it was 95 right in my bold prediction uh i'm sure people are having their way with me on on instagram and and twitter and just kind of poking fun and rightfully so it's okay like i said going into it i i think
00:01:25
Speaker
I said I could lay my head on the pillow at night saying I i lost with Patrick Mahomes.
Chiefs Fall Short of Three-Peat
00:01:31
Speaker
Leading up to it, I got caught up a little bit in the Mahomes mystique. The Chiefs go into the three-peat. They just felt like an inevitable team. It felt like that Patriots team where it's like whenever they get to the Super Bowl,
00:01:43
Speaker
minus the one he lost to the greatest quarterback of all time, I'm thinking he's gonna beat everyone else he gets along the way. And I thought we're gonna get another one like that. Thought it was gonna be a great matchup, but in the end I figured the Chiefs were just gonna find a way, pull away in the fourth quarter, and win their third straight Super Bowl, get the three-peat.
00:02:02
Speaker
But it was just an ass kicking. Like you said, it was just a dominant game from the Eagles on every every part of their game, special teams, offense, defense. It was maybe the Eagles best game of the season and they saved it for a perfect time to to have it in the Super Bowl. Yeah, it it's funny you say like got caught up because I even felt like I got caught up when I looked back at that Super Bowl preview that we did.
00:02:27
Speaker
so many points of it that we touched on really pointed towards the Eagles winning that game like a lot of we talked about the trenches and how the Eagles had the better trenches really on both sides of the ball we talked about receiver matchups like we talked about Saquon Barkley even though he didn't have the biggest impact on this game we talked about their defense like so many different things we talked about in our preview would have really pointed towards the Eagles winning this game but you get caught up in that mystique of the of the Chiefs and how good they've been and even though like this was finally the season where they didn't look great all season and somehow everybody
00:03:07
Speaker
kind of thought and gave them the benefit of the doubt that they were going to pull a rabbit out of the hat and have a fantastic Super Bowl just didn't happen.
Eagles Outshine Mahomes
00:03:15
Speaker
And it kind of was pointing towards that. Yeah. And I think at points late in the regular season, I were i was thinking about calling them frauds, like, but it was just, they were kept finding way to, to win one score games. And then I was just like, why would I go against this? Cause you know, they just find a way to win, even though I don't think they were the best team.
00:03:33
Speaker
The Eagles were, like you said, even everything we covered, it was just, yeah, they have the edge here, they have the edge there, but it was just the quarterback position, Mahomes, and Andy Reid, I thought, had an edge in the coaching head-to-head, but Hurts outplayed Mahomes, and it was just the the Eagles were better, like, in every single position. maybe Maybe the punter on the Chiefs, like, that's where you could give the edge. The the punter was was great. Matt Areza, the punt god, was letting him fly because, he you know, and the Chiefs had one first down in the first half and it was just on their first play of the game. It was just incredible to watch. it And then you're kind of just waiting though, right? Cause my homes had been there before. And then, you know, it gets down 10, 17.
00:04:19
Speaker
contains twenty four nothing that half And it's just like, okay, this is going to be his Brady moment. And this is how he's going to get past Montana. And then it's going to be neck and neck Brady Mahomes for who's the greatest of all time.
00:04:34
Speaker
And then it was just the same in the second half and you go oh my god this is actually gonna happen the chiefs are just gonna get dismantled in the Super Bowl on national television and i think for now obviously mohams is still in his career will be twenty nine ah to start next season still in the prime of his career.
00:04:50
Speaker
but we have to shut the book on that Mahomes greatest of all time. He is an amazing quarterback and he may go to the Superbowl 10 more times. I don't know what's going to happen in the rest of his career, but for now, we do have to close the book on the greatest of all time, because that is rightfully Mr. Brady's ah title to hold. And we got to just you know let Mahomes have his career. And then as these things come up, we can open the book again and have these discussions.
00:05:16
Speaker
Yeah, it felt like after that, it was like, OK, we got to pump the brakes here. Like we got to pump the brakes and let his his career play out because it gets exhausting to a certain point. Nobody likes gas bagging and sports media like that, where it's like a constant, constant thing. And rightfully so. You know, had a chance to make history and get a three P. But
Hurts Leads Eagles with Strategy
00:05:36
Speaker
with that loss, it was like, OK, we can all take a breath here. Nobody really, really enjoys doing this debate back and forth to no end.
00:05:45
Speaker
now we can kind of lay back on it and just let Mahomes be Mahomes and kind of take it from there. I enjoyed that aspect of it. It was like, okay, we can put that to bed. You mentioned Andy Reid, like this was one of the first games where I can truly say that Andy Reid got outcoached in it. Like if you go back, I was looking at some chief speed reporters, Twitter, and a lot of them were like,
00:06:09
Speaker
Andy Reid never makes adjustments at the line. I think this would be the game to make an adjustment at the line. They're getting absolutely shredded and he didn't like it was. A part of that was I'm sure that they just didn't have the athletes, didn't have the players to keep up with that defensive line. But from a game game planning perspective, both on offense and on defense, I thought Spagnolo had a terrible game as well. Felt like this was one of the first times where the Chiefs coaching really looked like human.
00:06:38
Speaker
Yeah, and credit to Vic Fangio, Nick Sirianni, our boy, and Kellen Moore, the new head coach of the New Orleans Saints. It was just, it was perfect. They didn't blitz a single time. and They sacked my home six times is that you can't write up a better defensive game plan for the Eagles than that. You're just rushing for, and you're getting pressure almost every time. And like you said,
00:06:58
Speaker
you know you're You're down, you're down 10-0. I felt like that was kind of a critical point of the game. when When you held the Eagles to a field goal and you kind of had nothing going on offense, I'm like, okay, there's a hold. There's some momentum that can go in the Chiefs direction and they they can get on the board. And you know we get a one score game where we'll see where it goes from there. They just refuse to run the ball. The entire game, you know you got Mahomes with four rushes, 25 yards. That is If you told me that was a stat line before the game, I would have thought that's perfect. he He's doing exactly, I think his prop was 28 and a half, right? Then you have cream hunt, three rushes, nine yards. Some RGP, Ryan, one rush, eight yards. And Isaiah Pacheco, three rushes for seven yards.
00:07:39
Speaker
It's you can't win with that and they were so obsessed with throwing the ball but Mahomes had nothing because they're only only rushing for so you got zone everyone's covered and then he just couldn't make the plays and he was overwhelmed and he just like you said the offensive line of the Chiefs was getting crushed and there was no adjustments being made and first for spags I think they kind of executed there their game plan going into the game. They were like, we're going to do everything in our power to stop Saquon Barkley, and we're going to make Jalen Hurts beat us. But then it's like, oh, yeah, you forget that they have just two amazing receivers on the outside, and you didn't have any help on the outside. And it's just, man, oh, man. And they just destroyed you on the outside. And like you said, didn't make any adjustments at any point. And it was the same thing. So you almost would have rather seen Saquon gash one for 30 yards.
00:08:27
Speaker
because you're covering the the the the wide receivers. But yeah, no adjustments from the Chiefs coaching staff. And yeah, it was just the Eagles were dominant both sides of the ball. But most importantly, like you said, the trenches and specifically the defensive line overwhelmed the Chiefs offensive line. Yeah, the the lack of a running game was shocking. Like I think Kareem Hunt had three yards at half and like two touches. Like it was it was truly like watching a college game where they just or like a CFL game where they just running the ball is absolutely non-existent and it it became so clear that it was like okay there I guess they're just not gonna run it whatsoever I know they were getting behind the chains a bit
00:09:06
Speaker
But when you get one first down in the first half, like, and I know you're down heavy in the second half, but it just became such a predictable offense. The things that we thought might happen to the Eagles in becoming a one dimensional offense was exactly what happened to the Chiefs. We can go in, you know, first half, second half here. They get that big seven, like first touchdown. I thought that was huge for the Eagles. RIP to anyone who had a Johan Dotson first touchdown bet. I knew a couple of guys who did that and like,
00:09:37
Speaker
you're celebrating the entirety of that commercial break only to come back from the commercial break just being like, what the hell just happened? Yeah, even like 16 to one anytime. And then it's just, you're robbed by about three inches. And it's just, yeah. And like you said, it was going into the commercial break. It was a touchdown. You're expecting them to come out and be kicking the point after. And then you it's just that yeah it goes right into a slow motion review at the goal line. And it it was clear like he was short, but in the moment in real time.
00:10:08
Speaker
Everyone I think thought he was in and then it was just you have the knees short the balls not across and Yeah, but that's another example of how the like Johan Dotson's beating the Chiefs corners on the outside It was just everyone was doing it jail and Hertz was making all the throws the rightful ah Super Bowl MVP in this one and I think you know there's There's another discussion of like where he now stands among active quarterbacks. He's won a few with a Super Bowl. and yeah I think he was one of those guys where he didn't really know where to put him. I think everyone safely would just say he's a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. Some people probably didn't love his game and would say maybe he's a top 15, whatever. but
00:10:48
Speaker
He's now in that elite tier that we talk about Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Joe Burrow. He is a top five quarterback for sure in my mind. And I wouldn't really dispute many people saying that he's in their top three. You know what I mean? It's just like he's won a Super Bowl. He's embarrassed Mahomes.
00:11:06
Speaker
He's been to he's been to two Super Bowls now, one, one. And it's just like, OK, like no one else is doing it aside from my homes. And yeah all the AFC apologists are saying, well, you know, we have to get past my homes like Lamar can't do it. Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, we have to get past my homes. Well, Jill and Hertz has done that and he's done it in in a quite a statement way. Yeah. And to me, the most impressive part of Jill and Hertz's game at like obviously the passing comes first like I thought he was so on point in his passing in that game but for 72 yards on 11 rushes and a rushing touchdown with the tush push he was gashing them with with his legs like anytime the Chiefs had finally kind of plugged all the holes in the boat like Saquon wasn't a threat
00:11:55
Speaker
They had covered so the receivers once out of a million plays. Then he just took off with his feet and like absolutely crushed them through the middle of the field. It was the most deflating thing for that Chiefs defense that anytime they finally were able to cover everyone.
00:12:11
Speaker
You forget, oh, this is one of the best Russian quarterbacks in the NFL. Yeah, and he looked fresh. He looked healthy. you yeah I think in the first two games of playoffs, there was a lot of questions and concern about his knee. He had a knee brace on there and he just, he didn't look 100%. But I think he was kind of saving himself. He probably wasn't 100% in that moment. That's why he didn't see him using his legs that much.
00:12:32
Speaker
yeah I think he went under his rushing total in the first two games of the playoffs, and now he's soared over. He doubled his total, I believe, in this game. And it was just, yeah, like you say, he was shot out of a cannon. When he saw his opportunity, it was no hesitation. He's gone. um And then when he threw that one interception, I think a lot of people, well, I'll speak for myself. I go, uh-oh, here we go. Now it's a turning point. To me, this game was a game of turning points, and I kept waiting for the Chiefs. I'm like, OK, now is their moment. Now they're going to figure it out. It's going to change. They're going to get in rhythm. And I thought the interception was the biggest one and the biggest opportunity for the Chiefs to really turn the tides here. You're still down in the game, two scores. But, you know, maybe you maybe you found something here. Maybe you find like the pressure you disguised and it's just like, OK, Hertz is struggling to read this defense now.
00:13:21
Speaker
He's next drive. i but I think they went to, it was a shorter field after the ball and touchdown, but it was just like, yeah, scores. And he's just, he, he threw it off. It did not, you know, deter him from the game plan. And it was just so impressive. His mental fortitude in that game. And it was just like, okay, Jalen hurts his, is that guy. And he's going to lead this Eagles team to many more playoff runs. It it appears in the future.
00:13:47
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. That was one of my biggest takeaways from this game was like this Eagles team could just be really getting started and it could be all in front of them. Still, the biggest turning point for me was when they're up 10 nothing, sweat and hunt, get back to back sacks on my homes on consecutive plays.
00:14:06
Speaker
Then Mahomes rolls out and throws a 38 yard pick six to Cooper DeGene to make it 17 nothing. When he got into the end zone there, that was like when my jaw dropped and was like,
Eagles' Season Reflection
00:14:18
Speaker
oh, this is like, we're watching something different here. Like the, I think the Eagles are going to win this game.
00:14:22
Speaker
Yeah and you know it was probably 70% or more Eagles fans in that stadium and you just heard it through the TV it was just like yeah the pop it was it was like a wrestling WrestleMania intro someone's coming in the late in WrestleMania to go get the belt it was just a massive pop And you know what a time for your first career interception on the Super Bowl on your birthday. I picked six as well against Mahomes. That's when i real it was real to me as well. But i kept there was something in the back of my head the entire time, even at 24-0. I was like, I think the Eagles are going to win this game, but Mahomes is going to you know scare them a little bit. They got to get something going on offense.
00:15:06
Speaker
And the Eagles defense man, like it was certainly the best defense in the NFL this season, and it's just. it They won that game too. I know Jalen Hurts was amazing and Devontae Smith had a huge touchdown and Johan Dotson and AJ Brown. Everything was basically humming on ah offense, but it all came from the defense, giving them short fields, putting seven points on the board for them and just not giving the Chiefs any points in the first half.
00:15:35
Speaker
ah it it The defense for me of the Eagles was the thing that like really stood out and was just like that was dominant and then obviously dude and Yeah, and then obviously the offense, you know was great and took care of the short fields and everything But the defense just like you said dominating Suffocating and it was just my homes didn't know what to do and he really didn't know what to do I've never seen the Chiefs look so lost in a games basically since the last Super Bowl they lost against Brady in the Buccaneers Yeah, it was And the fact that they were kept going three and out was like the defense was fresh. Like the defense was never tired. Every time they stepped on the field, they were ready to just get after him again. It's not like he went on some huge long drive that tired out the defense and then brought them right on the field. They were getting them to three and outs. Then the Eagles offense was going on long drive, so they were rested for the next time. Like it was such a vicious circle to the fact where after the first half, the stats were
00:16:34
Speaker
first downs eagles had 13 chiefs had one time of possession 1959 for the eagles 1001 for the chief so doubled them on time of possession 4.6 yards per play for the eagles 1.2 yards for play for the chiefs 179 total yards for the eagles 23 total yards for the chiefs like that is
Chiefs' Future Changes?
00:16:58
Speaker
some shit that you would see if you know the bills were playing the panthers in week eight it felt like a week eight game and for being honest it going into the game there was a lot of storylines you know the revenge storyline for the eagles sequin barkley and everything they had going and then obviously the chiefs with the potential three-peat but yeah like you said this game kind of felt small it didn't feel like a super bowl because the eagles were so good and so dominant and the chiefs were just lost out there and like you said
00:17:31
Speaker
like If this was a week eight game, I probably would have turned the change the channel at about at halftime at, at latest. You know what I mean? At latest, it was just like, okay, the Eagles are dominating this game. What else is on like for, let me find the best game, but you were so everyone was stuck watching it. You know, you got the Taylor Swift fans, you got people watching for the halftime show. So many people are watching this game.
00:17:53
Speaker
And it was just, I think it was shocking off for a lot of people to just being like, Oh my goodness. Like I thought this team was a dynasty. I thought this, if you're like a casual fan too, and you go, what have I, which team is which here? Cause the Eagles are the ones that are just dominating and they look like they are the ones, you know, looking for a three Pete. Whereas the chiefs, they look like, Oh my goodness, this is, this is not so good. And I think, I think the chiefs just come away with,
00:18:19
Speaker
like I don't know if you it's questions or concerns or anything, but I think you got to change something. And I know you're going to have Rashid Rice back next year. And I think the offense will look okay, but something's got to change on that line, it seems. And then the defense, Spags was amazing all year and especially in the playoffs. And then when he needed they needed him the most, it was just no adjustments like we mentioned earlier. And it was just,
00:18:43
Speaker
lackluster. They weren't getting pressure. Jalen hurts head all day. And I know the Eagles have an amazing, amazing offensive line. So did the bills, but the chief still found a way to get pressure. They disguised it. They timed it perfectly. There was just none of that in this game. And it was just the Eagles, Eagles, Eagles the entire time. Yeah. And and more insult stats for the first half. Kelsey gets zero receptions first time in his postseason career to go reception list in the first half.
00:19:11
Speaker
The first game of Patrick Mahomes career regular season or playoffs in which he threw multiple interceptions and was sacked at least three times in the first half and the lowest total yards for the Chiefs with Mahomes as quarterback for a first half. I saw some concussion allegations floating around. I don't know if you saw that videos when he did that big scramble rollout near the end zone and was able to get the ball out right at the end.
00:19:37
Speaker
for an incompletion, Jalen Carter made the tackle and he like bounced his head off the turf, wasn't looked at by any team doctors, wasn't taken out by a spotter. People are saying, is there a coincidence that that happened? And then he had the worst game of his career. I don't know how much I'm buying into that, but it was interesting. He was slinging it in the fourth quarter.
00:19:57
Speaker
Yeah, really it was garbage time here and people are getting on him I saw some people like getting upset about that your stat padding was like what do you want me to do? Do you want me to just hand the ball off and roll over in the in the second half of the Super Bowl? Like you're still trying to win the game like Xavier worthy the quietest 8 reception 157 yards and two touchdowns you'll ever see in a football game ah But he like I guess he was the Chiefs best player. I know in the first half He was non-existent pretty much But if you're gonna grab a player from the Chiefs and say this was our guy Xavier Worthy will be a focal point in this offense in the future and I think he kind of saw that deep ball action like they're gonna they're That they have something there um But yeah, it was just Mahomes.
Eagles' Defensive Prowess
00:20:38
Speaker
It was just too little too late But at least I guess you can say they found something cuz yeah if you didn't watch and you just look at the box score from Mahomes 21 to 32 257 three passing touchdowns two interceptions you're like
00:20:52
Speaker
You know, it wasn't a great game, but it wasn't the worst you've ever seen. But it's like, no, it was arguably the worst game I've ever seen Patrick Mahomes have. No, that that box score is going to absolutely destroy some some discussions or some discourse in the future. Like people looking back on that box score, if they had not watched the game.
00:21:13
Speaker
Like like some some kid who's like five years old right now and and starts a podcast in 20 years, looking back and doing like Mahomes legacy arguments is gonna use that as an argument for Mahomes.
00:21:26
Speaker
yeah be like No, it was just the defense was horrible. He had no help. He had no help. It's like, no, it was both sides of the ball. They were awful the entire game. And then the fourth quarter, they maybe they found the Eagles are putting backups in. Kenny Pickett, Super Bowl champion, kneeling it out. like It was just unbelievable.
00:21:43
Speaker
That is so that's maybe the most insult to injury. You know, you had some stats there, but if you're just looking at pure insult to injury, Kenny Pickett came in for two drives, not just to kneel out two drives. He threw a pass and then, yeah, just kneeled out the game. That's just got to that's got to sting if you're the Chiefs. Kenny Pickett in a Super Bowl like Kenny Pickett's getting a Super Bowl ring. Unbelievable. That might be my favorite part of this this entire thing. um Yeah, a lot a lot of garbage time.
00:22:13
Speaker
ah Touchdowns for the Chiefs like he hits worthy for 24 yards to avoid the shutout Then throws like two kind of more meaningless TDs to Hopkins and worthy again um But yeah sometime in the the late third quarter to early fourth quarter the Eagles pressure rate was up to 53% with a 0% blitz rate if you're generating that much pressure off of your front four I don't know how you beat a football team like that is doing that Yeah, that's the most impressive. i think That's what I mean, where it's like the the defense is was the difference in this one. And it was just doing whatever they wanted, getting them from all four guys pretty much, too. You know, Jill and Carter late, Nolan Smith, all these guys were getting their touches on Mahomes, or at least just pressuring him, getting him out of the pocket. And he didn't know. And then when you're only rushing four, you got a bunch of other guys covering. And it's just there's nobody open. He can't scan the field. He he can't run because they're he's getting swarmed.
00:23:08
Speaker
They had nothing going on ah offense and they never had an answer for it which is mind boggling to me because the chiefs seem to always have an answer that and that's there you know that's their whole thing that's their claim to fame it was just the chiefs always find a way to take game or come from behind they'll find a way.
00:23:27
Speaker
And but like I said, I was caught up in the mystique and in the aura of the Chiefs in my homes. And I go, there's no way. There's no way we're watching a blowout here. And they'll find what they may not win the game, like I mentioned earlier, but they will find a way. And it was just so, so bad to watch. And, you know, Chiefs haters and my home's haters, like, congratulations, because it doesn't get any better for for you guys. Like, that was probably like Patriots fans, specifically Bills fans, trying to think who else would Bengals, probably like Bengals, Ravens, Bills, and then Patriots fans. you You might as well get fitted for a ring too because that was as good of as good as winning a Super Bowl almost for them. I thought that that that kind of came to my mind. I think that Bills team would have gotten crushed.
00:24:14
Speaker
The Eagles were the best team and they they they were, yeah. I'm a little bit angry at ourselves and at myself because throughout I was going
Eagles' Promising Future
00:24:22
Speaker
back at some of our podcasts throughout this season after like there were so many different points in the season where we were like are the Eagles the best team in the NFL and we would like Scratch the surface of it and like when they had that what was it ten games where they won in a row? It was after that bye week. They had the early bye week in week five There were two and two and then they lost what they have lost one game since the week five bye week Like that is just such an impressive run of football. I think including the playoffs It was like 15 or 16 and one man. It was just such an impressive run of football.
00:24:54
Speaker
And we kept checking back in. We'd be like, Eagles are on this winning streak. Are they the best team in the NFL? And we're like, I think so. Like, i you know, we don't want to take the Chiefs away because they're winning all these games. But I think the Eagles are truly the best team. And we're they really were the entire year. And it makes me think like when I'm going up and down the position groups and the players on this team, it's easy to get caught up in recency bias with a Super Bowl win. But this truly like top to bottom as a roster.
00:25:22
Speaker
might be one of the best teams I've ever seen in like watching football as an NFL fan. And to me, i was I was listening to some NFL radio over the past, since the Super Bowl up until now. And I think the Eagles are a perfect representation of what happens when Howie Roseman and their management, their scouting teams just draft the best player available.
00:25:45
Speaker
So many guys, Jalen Carter had some character issues. There was a lot of stuff surrounding him in that draft. He fell to nine. They still took him and Kobe Dean, a lot of injury troubles. They had him as a first round pick and he falls to them in the second or third round. They take him. And it was just so many guys, like they're drafting all these guys, Jalen hurts second round. You make the move for Saquon Barkley because they know he's an excellent player and will compliment their team so well.
00:26:08
Speaker
It's just exactly what happens when your GM and your scouts and everyone sees eye-to-eye that we are going to not just draft off position, they drafted two corners, Quinnio Mitchell, Cooper DeGene, first and second round. It was just like, they are drafting the best players available and know, like, what do you expect? The best players played their best and they had the best roster makeup this year by a by a good margin. And yeah, it's exactly what happens when you don't overthink things,
00:26:36
Speaker
You don't basically say, I have this guy, should I reach for him now? It's like, no, draft the best player available. And I think you're going to see a lot of teams, maybe not in this draft, but just going forward, you're going to see a lot more teams stop kind of overthinking some picks. Cause in this modern era of football, and another thing that they do as well, they don't let these, these guys that they draft in the first rounds.
00:26:59
Speaker
get to their you know fifth year option. They're signing them at the end of their third season. And then by the time they would be looking to you know you pick up their fifth year option when the
Sirianni's Coaching Success
00:27:09
Speaker
market's already going up a little bit every year, you got these guys on discounts. And it's just so smart. Howie Roseman, I don't know if I've ever heard a GM mentioned in the NFL as much as he was you know leading up to the Super Bowl. But all credit to him i and rightfully deserved all the attention that he's been getting ah this this entire season and his entire tenure with the Eagles.
00:27:29
Speaker
Yeah and and I think the stars kind of aligned in this last draft where that used to be the m MO of the Eagles in their downfall was the secondary right like it was it was certainly in play in the time that they lost to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl and then it the stars perfectly aligned with the two best players who were available at their draft picks were secondary players so it's like in the span of one season they completely erased a negative storyline about their team and made it an absolute position strength for them just top to bottom impressive drafting like even
00:28:07
Speaker
I saw somebody point out how they took Nolan Smith, the the draft pick before the Chiefs had after they lost the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. So incredible drafting, like moving on to some legacy stuff here. We talked about, you know, pregame. One of my favorite storylines was Nick Sirianni's legacy. And it has been cemented. He has the NFL's best win percentage of any active head coach. He's a Super Bowl champion now.
00:28:36
Speaker
He cemented himself as an all-time Eagles head coach from going from one of maybe my favorite moments of this entire season. Him yelling at his own fans in Cleveland behind the bench to getting a Gatorade dump in the Super Bowl.
00:28:52
Speaker
is just an incredible, incredible story. And I think maybe that's what held us back, Damon. It was the Syrian factor. it was Maybe that's what led it led to some doubt, but I i hand up i was wrong in this. Like I said, the Eagles were the better team and I got caught up in the the the Chiefs. right Can't go against the Chiefs.
00:29:11
Speaker
Well, Sirianni and the Eagles team, man, they they feel like they can go on that run and Sirianni just don't he doesn't call place. I know that. But the best head coaches in the NFL sometimes don't call place. They just know what's going on. They know how to get their guys motivated and they just handle the game well.
00:29:29
Speaker
And I, you know, he's, they just see eye to eye with management, see eye to eye with ownership. And that is what builds a great organization is just people that see eye to eye, understand the game of football and don't get in the way. And I think Siri is a perfect coach that doesn't get in the way of his players.
00:29:47
Speaker
uh i think he felt a lot of the outside noise at points in his tenure as the head coach and you know which led to him screaming at fans at times and i think if you hit eagles fans with truth serum the way last season ended it i believe they finished like one and five when it was a horrible season what a horrible finish to their season and then two and two at the bye week with that loss to the saints and he's hearing it and everyone's here and then it was just something happened in that bye week and I think a lot of it had to do with Nick Sirianni and he's just they went on a run you know it was just exceptional and yeah you'd like to say you just can't doubt a guy like that now because his tenure has been so short and so successful and it's just there's no reason for him to slow down or it for for it to stop anytime soon and I think Nick Sirianni
00:30:40
Speaker
is like, you know, couple years away from potentially being in that elite tier of like head coaches in the NFL and like all time. Like, I don't know where it ends with Sirianni, but he's a young coach and you know, he's got probably 10 years, maybe more of coaching it left in the NFL. It's just so impressive what he's been able to do with this Eagles team.
00:31:00
Speaker
Yeah and a lot of what you just mentioned like I don't think Bill Belichick was calling plays for a lot of those Patriots dynasties like he leaned on his coordinators a lot and a lot of the things you mentioned of getting out of the way of your own players of trusting in your players are things obviously I'm not comparing the two in terms of like straight up coaching but when you look at some of those things like some of the best who
Belichick's Unusual Appearance
00:31:22
Speaker
had ever done it kind of follow that same coaching pattern that same style Also, side note, Bill Belichick, is he having like a late light-life crisis? Like he had a absolutely ridiculous week from like the NFL honors wearing all his Super Bowl rings, his 24-year-old girlfriends wearing an Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl shirt that for all intents and purposes shouldn't exist. Like, crazy week for Bill. I don't...
00:31:51
Speaker
Why was he at the NFL honors like he's like you forget he's a college head coach now, right? It's like you should be on the recruiting trail, dude. It's a new era. You should be shilling out n NIL money right now and maybe he's using his girlfriend to recruit some of the guys. He's trying to figure it out. He's trying, she's trying to like get him into the game with the young, like how to relate to the.
00:32:09
Speaker
to the university college students, but yeah, he's at the, he's at the NFL awards. I didn't even think about that. Why is he there? dude that's my That was my first reaction when I saw him on the red carpet before the rings, before anything I go, why is Bill Belichick here? You are not in the NFL. You are a college current head coach. If he was just like a retired guy, I would understand it more. But I'm like, you, you should be recruiting right now, dude, and building out your staff, figuring out the game plans for next year.
00:32:36
Speaker
Uh, and yeah, the the rings damn and we know we get it we we we get it. Okay, but Patriots fans They probably love that stuff that you know, they they're framing the pictures but uh, yeah It's it's yeah, it's strange what's going on with bill right now very strange uh some other legacy stuff davante smith fifth player in nfl history to win a heisman a national championship and now a super bowl joins to tony dorset marcus allen reggie bush and charles woodson Pretty damn elite company to be in already also became the first player drafted out of Alabama to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl That's that's not real. Jalen hurts at three. He all hurts at three rushing time. Is it receiving touchdowns? Well, no, that's the thing It's very rapid out of sorry. Yeah, I jumped I jumped the gun there very clever wording because drafted is doing a lot of the heavy lifting out of that and Someone told me that and i I they didn't use drafted. They just said first Alabama. they It was before the game. They have no Alabama player has scored a touch on the Super Bowl. I go, what are you? da What are you talking about? i People have thrown for them. And then, yeah, Jalen Hurts ran for
Eagles' Draft Strategy
00:33:46
Speaker
three. But yes, drafted is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. But congrats to Devonta Smith. ah Unbelievable resume he's got. And
00:33:54
Speaker
I mean, I don't see it stopping anytime soon. It's just going to continue to build. One thing quickly, I was just like going off in like legacy and Howie Roseman. I just sometimes think back to that AJ Brown trade. I thought about that too. Yeah. Trail on Burks for the Titans. Like it was draft picks. So you could have taken whoever you wanted and they decided to take Trail on Burks with that draft pick. And yeah, I think the Tennessee Titans are really regretting that. It's just like Howie Roseman is just taking advantage of this guy. It's so he's so good. He's so good at what he does. Yeah, I was very happy to see like couple guys on this Eagles team winning a Super Bowl made me really happy to see AJ Brown was one of them.
00:34:32
Speaker
Sydney Brown obviously not related but became the 17th Canadian to ever win a Super Bowl Just an incredible incredible example for young Canadian football players both him and his brother Got a suck to be chase Brown like you're getting you're getting your Advil ads on Super Bowl time But your brother is like winning a Super Bowl at the same time, but yeah that number kind of shocked me I thought it would be higher Uh, yeah, it's, I don't know when like Canadian football players really started breaking into the NFL, but you, it feels like there's almost ah one Canadian on every roster and yeah whether it's practice squad, wherever there, it feels like there's at least one Canadian now on every roster. And I mean, that number is going to continue to grow. I think basically every single year, I guess, you know what, ah maybe like, cause if he wins another one, it doesn't add to.
00:35:25
Speaker
right so you have like the repeat and effect of it uh where i would like to see you know how many canadian super bowl this is plural uh have been won but yeah congrats you love to see a canadian like he took his time to do an interview with uh sportsnet andts and tsn i think he probably made a point out of that and uh yeah you just love to see that stuff and i like i say i don't think that stuff's gonna stop because Canadians are getting drafted
Canadian Impact in NFL
00:35:50
Speaker
continually. Some Canadians are getting drafted out of Canadian universities. So ah it's really awesome what we're seeing in with the Canadian game of football. Yeah. Another one was Mackay Becton. Like that was a story that I absolutely love to see because that was a guy who was a household name for all the wrong reasons. Like the Jets drafted him with the 11th overall pick back in 2020.
00:36:12
Speaker
look to make him a franchise tackle. Over the next four years, he plays only 30 games, has zero playoff appearances, a lot of injuries, a lot of inconsistencies. Another one where the Eagles take a shot on him, see the potential in him, move him from tackle to guard, plays through a knee injury in the first half, returns, holds the line, and now he's a Super Bowl champion. like eight The book on him was that he was the guy who gave up the sack that injured Aaron Rodgers,
00:36:41
Speaker
and Toria and Rogers ACL. And ah now, you know, two years later, he is lifting a Lombardi trophy. that It was so awesome to see. Organizations matter. it you know people don't I think some people undermine that fact and it's just like, oh, the team's built well this year. The stuff that goes on at the top, some will trickle down and it's if it's functional and it's organized, you will see that on the field. And if it's not, you're going to see that on the field as well. and Mackay-Bactin is just, and Mackay-Bactin, Saquon Barley, the Eagles, Zach Bond, he was found out in nowhere. And now he's a, you know, he's a finalist for defensive player of the year. He's an all-pro. He's going to be, I think this Eagles roster is going to remain intact. He, I think, is going to be a little bit more expensive than the Eagles can afford. Rightfully so. We'll see if he takes a discount. But to me, I think that might be the only guy they kind of lose of a critical
00:37:38
Speaker
ah Part of the roster, but I mean congrats to him. He had the interception in this game just an amazing ah Season he had and a rightful payday is coming to him and it was just everything about this the Eagles ownership and yeah organization has shown to be one of the best of the 2020 so far football so tough for that because like in my mind you want to say like Oh, I would take a pay cut like look at how good this team is we could go win another Super Bowl quite easily But with how short NFL careers are and how brutal it is on your body It's like the wrong decision like almost overwhelmingly all the time to take a pay cut
00:38:18
Speaker
Yeah, and and I think people can't figure that out and they get so upset when their guys hold out or they want to payday. Well, it's like, no, man, these guys need their money. ah It's it's always like the goal, especially for I know running backs is the big one. You need that second contract. You get to that second contract. It's all money. You know, maybe you take ah if you get to a third, if you're lucky enough to get there, maybe then you can take a discount. But you need to you know build that bankroll, set your life up ah because you never know when football can end for these guys. And they don't have You know guaranteed money is starting to come in now But 10 years ago guaranteed money didn't exist in the NFL and these guys are getting crushed So yeah, I think Zach bond is one of those guys that he's gonna get his money in the offseason But he also got his seat super Bowl this past season and I think he's gained a lot of respect amongst the league Yeah, we talked about jail and hurts obviously Silenced a lot of critics like comes up in the clutches moment
Eagles' Reputation Shift
00:39:12
Speaker
of his career win Super Bowl MVP Just crushed at that game
00:39:17
Speaker
that thoughts on the Disney World trip because that to me seemed like it would suck i'm I'm sure it's it's very pomp and like you know you're getting there very comfortably you're not staying for a super long time but like That looked like it sucked. Feels like a big 90s thing. Yeah. You know, and it's just something that like, I guess it's a tradition now, but it can, I'm, I don't see the value in it. I'm sure he doesn't see the value. Like you're going, you're, you know, having the night of your life at the Superbowl after party, especially Hammy's won Superbowl MVP. that That is the guy who gets invited to Disney.
00:39:52
Speaker
And then it's just like, oh my, the white, and now I have to bask in the sun and stand on a couple of floats. He just, he probably wanted to just enjoy himself. I saw him on the, on the Tron, uh, roller coaster. That kind of looks like a sick roller coaster. I would like to maybe dip into that, but yeah, it's a tradition that probably doesn't need to be a tradition if we're being honest. Yeah, I thought the same thing. Uh, and then finally.
00:40:14
Speaker
Obviously Saquon Barkley, like he gets 57 yards passes Terrell Davis establishes a new record for all time regular season and playoff rushing yards it It got to a point where in that game It really looked like the only thing that the Chiefs had prepared for was stopping Saquon Barkley Like he couldn't ever break the big one off. He was still I think being pretty effective for the Eagles like just the allure of having to stop him in the mental effort to try and game plan for that I think Worked for the Eagles more than anything. But what a season man Like I I'm struggling to find a comparison across any sport of somebody who has done something like that and really been a career Guy on a bad team for so long To then have a season like that and win a Super Bowl something that so few guys do in the NFL ah Like just makes his career
00:41:08
Speaker
Yeah, and I don't think it's far fetched to say it's the greatest running back season ever, especially getting the Super Bowl. You know, he doesn't have an MVP, but running backs don't win MVPs in this current day in NFL. Unfortunately, I think, I think that, you know, I don't know what and a running back has to do now to get an MVP, right? I think quarterbacks have to be horrible. You have to be on the number one team and you minimum have to have 2000 yards, which it's just ah it's just an an insane kind of baseline that running backs have to get that respect amongst NFL voters but sake one it just this team the Eagles is likable and I don't like to like the Eagles because their fans are the are
00:41:52
Speaker
The majority of Eagles fans, Mike, you know, you're a great guy. I love you. You're reasonable. Everyone. there I know some reasonable Eagles fans, but the majority of the Philly scumbags that live in Philadelphia are scumbags and it makes them kind of not a team you like.
00:42:08
Speaker
go out of your way to root for, but this team is so likable. And like I said, there's all these guys that were highlighting, like so well deserved, especially, you know, they've have more than half this team lost to the chiefs two, three years ago. And it's like, now they get there their, their rifle thing. Brandon Graham's another guy returns in the super bowl, goes out on top the lifetime Philly Eagle. Yeah. It's, it's a weirdly likable Philadelphia Eagles team with Nick Sirianni at the helm.
00:42:37
Speaker
And you know what, it's f**king man. Shocking. Like even Nick Sirianni's likable to me now. Like I can't believe what this Eagles team did to me this season. in coming back and like that's a great point like it they they should not be likable and it's hilarious because they they reached it seemed like a fever pitch in that that NFC championship game where all the videos of them fucking with commanders fans people were so upset at Eagles fans and then like a week later like it's just all forgotten
00:43:08
Speaker
Yeah. And you know, the parade, you're like, okay, this is their time to actually, you know, we'll, we'll allow them to be scumbags and go crazy and have their fun. So yeah, it was, it was, just it was a weird vibe and, you know, hand up, I was wrong. I got caught up in, in the cheap stuff and I should have been given Philly their
Mahomes' Legacy Debate
00:43:26
Speaker
flowers. And, uh, I, I should have realized that this was just the better team. And, and I knew, I knew that in the back of my mind, but there was something in me that couldn't go against my homes. And that has changed going forward. Someone had to knock him down, right? And the Eagles have done that. And now he, he is still the best quarterback in the NFL in my mind, but he's knocked. They have knocked him back to like mortal level where he's not in that God tier. Well, it's like somebody had to knock him down. That wasn't Tom Brady, right? It's like, it's like that you, you would always have the benefit of the doubt that it was like, okay, he lost, but it was to the greatest of all time.
00:44:03
Speaker
This has has severely changed that where it's like, yeah, now he is a mortal person who can be crushed by a regular quarterback or a regular team that isn't doesn't happen to be the best quarterback of all time. What there's some.
00:44:18
Speaker
I saw some interesting discussions about my homes and he's had two blowout losses in the Super Bowl. But he has been in five out of the last out of the last six Super Bowls. So so as it like is it worse to make it to a Super Bowl and kind of get blown out or lose in the first round? To me, he owns the AFC. And I can see him just continually to just come out of the AFC, come out of the AFC year after year after year.
00:44:46
Speaker
But it's it's like the LeBron Jordan on discussion. right it's it's It's messed up our minds where somehow it's worse to lose in the Super Bowl in a blow up fashion than it is to almost miss the playoffs completely. So I think let's relax Mahomes is still like he he found a way to get there. He slayed demons to get there.
00:45:05
Speaker
um So he's still like give him respect. But like I was mentioned earlier, let's close the the greatest of all time conversation Well, it's exactly the Jordan LeBron debate because Jordan lost in the first round. Well like three times maybe four times maybe it's two or maybe three times and One every an NBA championship he participated in it's the opposite for LeBron Like I don't think LeBron's ever lost in the first round, but he's lost more finals than he's won so it it just you're right it is almost better for your legacy to have lost in the first round or miss the playoffs then then drag your team through the playoffs to the big game it's
00:45:46
Speaker
Mental it's so backwards.
Future Super Bowl Contenders
00:45:48
Speaker
Yeah, let's let's be the pod that respects athletes for making the finals and Congratulate them on a great because that's a great season losing in the Super Bowl is a great season like don't Don't frame it differently. That is an amazing the only two teams can get there out of 32 and they are one of the 32 teams One of the two teams out of the 32 teams that made it to the Super Bowl, not a math guy, the numbers kind of mess in my brain.
00:46:17
Speaker
um Next year Super Bowl LX odds nice little clean number there for you think they're gonna go 60 Because you know, they went 50 for the big one at which I get yeah, but it's just like I'm I'm out on the Roman numerals That's another tradition where we if you want to get into the tradition talk I'm out on the Roman numerals because I get it when they started it in the 70s But now now they're getting too high for me. They're getting way too high.
00:46:42
Speaker
No, I could I could get behind that. I think it's that's got to be one of the most Google things every year around this time is like what this Roman numeral means in numbers. You don't want to be the guy who seems stupid by having to ask the question. I will ask the question. I have no problem making a fool out of myself. um But the Eagles are obviously on top plus six hundred chiefs. Bills and Ravens are at plus seven hundred.
00:47:08
Speaker
then we go lines plus 900 San Fran plus 1600 and the commanders plus 1800 with the Packers so a lot of lot of juice there I'm personally a guy who doesn't have the patience for futures like that like I I find I can't have that in my account I place the future on the Nuggets this year and I cashed it out after like ah month i just couldn't do it i enjoy futures time and place it's something i i i only place fews after i win a big bet and i have like an excess of
00:47:43
Speaker
money in my account that i i you know sometimes i cash it out sometimes it plays futures ah for me in the nfl i don't like taking a single digit future for the full year. So you mean six to one with the Eagles right now, six and a half to one with the Chiefs. I don't like touching single digits if I'm going to wait for an entire year, like you said, ah because otherwise I think you have to put a lot of money on it and I don't like to bet like a ton of money on one thing. ah So if we're just looking at this thing, the Lions jump out to me at 10 to one. If am am I the only person that you kind of nodded your head there? Yeah, yeah. The Lions
00:48:16
Speaker
Weirdly enough dude, the 49ers jumped out at me and I know they shouldn't but they do They that's a team where yes, I can absolutely see them getting a Super Bowl They kind of have a weird offseason upcoming debos requesting a trade Brock purries looking for a contract They're just kind of a team a little bit in limbo but they're like two moves away from like sorting it all out leveling the ship and then just like I said just It's been them and the Eagles coming out the end of the NFC for the since the 2000s. So there's no 2020. Sorry. woo um So there's no real reason to doubt the 49ers. But I think a healthy Lions team would have really given that Eagles this season a nice battle. So I don't mind taking the the Lions at 10 to 1 Packers. I think Jordan Love has caused a lot of doubt. Bengals are a decent bet, too, if they can figure out that defense. You know, it's an even better bet. Rams plus 2800, dude.
00:49:07
Speaker
Yeah, that's another team with just like staff. They were close, dude. They were close to beating that Eagles team. And I think they're going to look to blow it up for some reason. It's insane. They're looking at staff. They're talking about staff for getting traded. They're already said that they're going to trade Cooper Cup. So i it's these teams where it's Mahomes in the Chiefs. And I think now the Eagles are in that category as well.
00:49:30
Speaker
They're killing teams brains. Like they don't understand how to operate where it's, you know, some teams get lucky. They draft well, but I think the Rams with how they drafted their defense this past year, you have some pieces back there, man. And you have another successful draft. Yeah. And you can get there.
00:49:46
Speaker
I think they have to keep Stafford if they want a chance ah to do that, which I don't know. It kind of seems 50 50 to me right now if they do it. But I think if they keep Stafford, get a good return for cup and then draft to get draft well again, they can absolutely get to the Super Bowl. Like there's a universe where they come back in that Eagles game, beat the Eagles, stomp the commanders and then give the Chiefs an absolute run for their money in the Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl this year.
Podcast Season Reflection
00:50:14
Speaker
yeah they gave the eagles their toughest test in the playoffs like it's not crazy to say that um but speaking of gambling we have a picks update we were both three and three heading into the big game we picked five props each i went three and five I moved to six and five on the playoffs above 500 and Patrick goes four out of five on his props to go to seven in four on the playoffs and Wins the playoff crown very nice very nice Thank you. Thank you. Save some face late in the season after after not it wasn't like a brutal regular season It just wasn't even close to what you had going on over there. ah So yeah, it was nice have a profitable playoffs But of course the one prop I don't have of the picks is the one that loses Yeah, which which is you know serves me right? um But yeah, it's
00:51:08
Speaker
We have made some money for the people that listen this year, ah whether it was Damian with, you know, up eight units over the course of the full regular season or both of us being up ah in the playoffs where, you know, especially in the Super Bowl, if you can come out of the Super Bowl making some money, you can basically convince yourself you had a good gambling year in the NFL. And it seems like we both did mainly for me because of DeAndre Hopkins with a cheap garbage time touchdown at six to one. We love you.
00:51:37
Speaker
Seven seven and three seven four ten in our our picks is pretty damn good for the props I missed on Mahomes 28 and a half rushing yards finishes with 25 Which is so ironic because I hated it when I said it I liked it a lot early when I looked at the props and then once I finally like said it I knew I didn't have a great feeling about it ah Dallas Goddard goes under 50 and a half receiving with 27 yards That one was also a bit of ah an overreach by me. It really should have been a Davante Smith, which you grabbed I think Goddard was a part of that stacked box that the Chiefs were so set on um stopping Saquon. I think he suffered from that as well. And it was just just the Eagles on the outside, man. And they just did it the entire game. And the Chiefs couldn't figure out how to stop it. And then Jalen Hurtt, when they did stop it, like you mentioned, Jalen Hurts was gone for 10, 11, 15. It was just so impressive from the Eagles. and
00:52:33
Speaker
Yeah, write the rightful favorites for next year. I can absolutely see that team going back to the Super Bowl and possibly repeating. Absolutely. A little show update here before we let you go here. Obviously, we've been going nose to the grindstone this NFL season. We have not missed a week since our NFL preview. I don't know how much that is, like 23, 24 weeks, 24 episodes. ah We've gone through a lot this season, a lot of shows, a lot of information for you guys.
00:53:03
Speaker
We will be taking a much needed break for a little bit here. We're not going away completely um But yeah, probably won't be like a weekly weekly thing anymore just because of the NFL offseason until we get to ah The NFL Draft the NFL free agency I thought our draft episode last year was one of our my favorite episodes that we've ever done I'm I'm already excited to make my mock draft list yeah i've i've already been going through the mock drafts it's basically the thing i think some people jump the gun on the draft stuff a little too early for me it's always the second the super bowl ends focus on the draft and that's already what i've been doing you seem to be in the same boat and to me i think last year
00:53:43
Speaker
they were like the top five or so I forget how it worked but there was some like you know you knew that these guys were getting drafted where who knows to me this first round kind of seems a little bit more chaotic coming up dude shador has dropped from from being a favorite to being plus 500 in the last week to go first overall maybe drops to the Steelers 21 a maybe that'd be I would take them I'd be happy with that one um And I also found that our NFL draft episode made me
00:54:14
Speaker
a ridiculous amount more knowledgeable throughout the NFL season, like having doing that background on 30 guys who for the most part, like we got pretty much everybody who went in the first round. It was like every rookie I knew their backstory. I knew where they went to college. I knew how they played in their final season, what the conditions were for them getting drafted there. Like it felt like it was like a like a small superpower in the back of my head doing that draft episode.
00:54:42
Speaker
Yeah, for me, it's kind of like it's like recruiting in college. Like, you know, where these guys came out of high school, the same thing, like, you know, where they came from college to the NFL. It's fun just following these guys on their journeys as well. And you find that a lot of them, you know, it's more than football. They have cool stories as well. I remember Terry on Arnold specifically from last year, the bricklayer.
