Not sure the difference is that great.  KC has a little more experience, but its not like Philly experience is non existent.  

Fwiw, I think that both teams have great defenses.  KC has a better qb, but Philly has more offensive talent all around.  Could come down to special teams.  

The SB bowl experience difference is massive. Just look at the rosters and who has been and who hasn't.

I don't think this can be dismissed for how big of an impact it could make, in 2 particular areas.

The start of the game and halftime

KC isn't going to have any nerves at the start of this game, too many players who have been on the last 2 SB teams, while a lot of Eagles very well could have some jitters at the start, it's pretty normal for the SB.

Then the super long halftime can never be understated at how different it is for the players.  Was watching something with Belichick last night that said once when they got back to the SB after a bunch of years of not going, they specifically practiced halftime that week, taking the 30+ minute break in the middle of practices so their guys could get used to the extended break.

In a close game, those two things very well could give the Chiefs just enough of an edge to make a difference.

Not saying there is no difference, but the majority of the eagles key players have been in the playoffs and the Superbowl.  Hurts, Smith, Brown, Johnson, 3 out of 5 starting oline, etc... have all been there before.  Barkley hasn't, but not sure it will matter with him.  

I mean its not like they are playing us.

I really think that is a massively underrated aspect. KC is very, very comfortable in this situation.

I hate that I'm having to root for the Eagles as I find their fans incredibly toxic but I'm just so tired of the blatant favoritism the NFL gives KC and Mahomes that I'd rather see the Eagles stick their finger in the eye of NFL and pull out a win.

The Eagles have had a ton of roster turnover since their SB 2 years ago

And there is a massive difference between other playoff games and the Super Bowl, just everything about it.  

They spend the week in town for practice, plus all the media around it.  The extended intros, extended halftime, the pressure of the moment, all of it is just different and when half of one team has done it the last 3 years, it gives them a significant advantage that not enough people take into account.

Yeah, I really don't think people think about this. This is a massive advantage.

Pretty much yeah. After this though if the Eagles win they can kick rocks. Hopefully we'll get some different teams in there over the next few years.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
