And then the referee nation attacked...

I was about to say the refs had - for the most part - been not that intrusive but to make a call right there...

Whatever happens, we've been treated to a pretty good Super Bowl.

Chiefs get to 30 points first.

Also, biggest game of the year and the field is an ice rink with all the players slipping.

Man, that's so close but I want to say that's incomplete.

10 point lead is nothing these days but the impression is the Chiefs are barely hanging on. Their defense has to start making stops or this game will get out of hand.

Talk about dropping the ball there.

The defender did a Nakamura on that play.

Not the first time Eagles have heard an opposing kicker bonk it off the post in the playoffs.

Kelce is a machine.

Charity money, all mine.

Been following this team since 2003. None of our offensive coordinators have been anything to write about. Frankly, the best was likely Turner of all people. Brady was great getting the offense moving between the 20s but awful in the red zone. Shula was carried by talent. Chud was probably the best with tight ends. Henning knew to feed Smitty but otherwise was the most archaic. Yeah, not surprised by CMC's comments at all.

Definitely stemmed from the Chargers 2016 game. After watching it again, I had forgotten that Cam didn't even need to attempt a tackle anyways because the play should had been called dead before that point. And yes, this was similar to Jake's injury in Atlanta where they would never throw as hard ever again. However, Jake's arm was pretty much shot and stayed there while Cam still had some arm but got worse over time.

Unfortunately, it's Jeff Saturday as the #1 seed versus a bunch of "Where are they from?" State.

Aaron Rodgers was expecting to be drafted early but ended up falling right into the Packers lap. Lamar Jackson went to the Ravens late. After the whole Manning/Rivers draft drama, Steelers still got Big Ben with the 11th pick. Obviously, the team needs to do their homework on all prospects but there's always that risk of grabbing someone for the sake of doing it. There has to be contingencies of grabbing someone else without giving up everything, especially with our current draft position.

Nothing. Don't like the prospect of a bidding war with other teams.

At least in my eyes, this isn't a case of someone being looked over for a person that is far less qualified. Hypothetically, if this was years ago between Wilks and Rhule, then a lot more questions should be raised if Rhule was chosen. However, Reich had his own set of qualifications, including also having a special connection with this franchise, being a person that players seem to love and respect and, in my eyes, a better offensive coach than Wilks was as a defensive coach. Wilks As for the exec team, my impression is that Tepper made decisions similar to he would do with his other enterprises without fully realizing that an NFL franchise is a whole different animal. Still don't think highly of him but for everyone's sake, I hope he has learned his lessons.

My general takeaway is a more no-nonsense, sensible, logical approach than what we had before. Whether things work out is up in the air but given there is a special connection between Reich and this franchise, I don't have any doubts about the effort.

The same reason so many people make it to places they clearly do not belong; selling horse manure. Still cannot comprehend how owners continue to think hiring a college coach who doesn't already have a fair amount of experience in the league is a good idea. The closest analogy I can think of is a dirt racing driver trying to go into NASCAR. Yes, you drive a vehicle regardless but the dynamics are so much different that most of the skills don't translate.

Could we even call Rhule a CEO, though? I mean, he seemed to micromanage the wrong things, spouted a bunch of fluff, threw people under the bus and was grossly overpaid. ...oh, wait.

Brissett was the only other FA alternative to Darnold that I felt was an actual viable upgrade but was concerned about being a much more expensive option. Would be nice if having Reich here means the price tag is less.

Yeah, I couldn't recall if there was any motivation other than the obvious. It's one of those what-ifs alongside whether a non-Tommy John Jake would've avoided that one game. I think we could've reached the SB but lose to the Steelers because holy moley, we can never beat the Steelers.

Almost a no brainer but a new HC could've easily brought in their own people regardless. A sigh of relief for a rational sensible move.

Another one: I can't recall why Moose went to Chicago for a few years but I'm still a bit miffed that he did. Could've had at least one more SB run but no, we had to suffer with Keary Colbert and over the hill Keyshawn Johnson. By the time he came back, Jake had the Tommy John and wasn't the same anymore.
