The "Blame" lies squarely with the Eagles Defensive Coordinator who spent the last two weeks watching and coaching the team about these types of weaknesses in the Chiefs line. Honorable Mention to the Eagles Defensive line!

[@joelwexler]

He should've been carried out, but that wouldn't work in the sky box. Being a coordinator and seeing it unfold from above might be the greatest job in the world.

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

he finally beat a Mahomes led Chiefs squad making him 1-8, even blind squirrels find a nut sometimes. its the O-Line issues that have plagued the Chiefs all season.

[@wildlive1296]

A couple of things amazed me in this game: 1. How quickly the Chiefs' tackles were getting pushed back into Mahomes' lap. 2. The lack of designed quick passes and screen passes.

@RFSpartan That's fair, but the short passing game, aka dink and dunk, surely was still worth trying. I realize it's hard without the mid to deep passing game established, but you have to try something. Maybe Mahomes couldn't have pulled it off, but that's his job.

Old guy here. Before the season, the Chiefs resigned coaches, and other key players, but really did not address the tackle position. I asked my brother, “why didn’t they do another 1 year contract with Donovan Smith, since they knew Sumatatiera was a raw rookie talent who needed time and experience to develop?” This was a bad strategy that came back to bite them in the AZZ. Also, after watching some of these clips, it appears that MaHomes regressed back to holding the ball too long, and running around trying to avoid the sack. The Chiefs contained Saquon pretty much, which forced Jalen Hurts to throw, which he did, and he was very GOOD at it. I knew the Chiefs secondary was not as good as last years team, due to the loss of Sneed, and the Eagles took full advantage of it. Because Hurts is a better passer than Lamar Jackson. Just my opinion. As a Chiefs fan this was a disappointing showing by KC, with the exception of their run defense. But man, Philadelphia played to WIN and they were hungry! It showed. Hats off to them and congratulations!

[@Mahomesdagoat1234]

He has brown and smith, two ELITE receivers, ELITE oline and ELITE dline, Mahomes has three elite oline one of which had moved positions, we have one fast guy and a lot of old players with a lot of wisdom but maybe not enough to go against very good young talents, and we have one elite dline guy and one elite dback but the rest are just good and some wouldn’t be starters in other teams, I can’t believe they didn’t make tackle a priority after what happened against the bucs, we need a REALLY good draft and we need to spend money in free agency we have Mahomes, we shouldn’t waste him every year we should be contenders

[@humantwist-offcap9514]

Matt Nagy is a bad OC and should never have gotten the job. No rushing attack against the guy who practically invented 2 high shell as a staple. Hope the Chiefs pay some real OLine talent to fill the gaps. Eagles deserve the win, these guys played their asses off all year. Brutal, I know they must be feeling great in Philly tonight!

I agree that the Eagles design was trying to keep Mahomes in the pocket. It looked most of the time like the Eagles were literally folding the O- line in half around the center to trap Mahomes. This kept Mahomes in front of them so he could not escape without the O-line holding the players on the edge. Usually, sacking Mahomes once is nothing as he comes back the next play, but the back-to-back sacks rattled him.

[@JimAebly]

The Eagles were just prepared to the bone and wanted it more. Mahomes needed some humbling anyway.

Exposed? Get outta here with that nonsense. The offensive game plan by the Chiefs was dog water from the get go and they made zero adjustments. Not once did they try to run the ball, use quick passes, slants, screens, or anything short with any consistency. When they did do these things they moved the ball relatively easy against the Eagles, but once they got some success they immediately moved away from it and back to the long developing plays. About halfway through the first half Mahomes decided to do too much and it made matters worse resulting in sacks, interceptions, and a ton of pressures. The Eagles defense was much better prepared and executed their game plan to perfection. They earned the win and beat the Chiefs fair and square. They didn't expose anything.

I am willing to concede that some pockets were clean, but he's been getting pressured ALL GAME. That clock ticks faster and faster and we have the luxury of seeing from afar how things weren't always as dire. I think you need to consider that.

[@Mahomesdagoat1234]

Some were clean but that doesn’t mean receivers are open and after such a deficit he has to look for the bigger play it just makes sense that obviously he would look for the short play last when he’s down 24 points in the third quarter

[@chrisperez3614]

It was a lot of speed to power rushes and the defensive line was very disciplined. The marriage of the pass rush and the coverage was amazing. Mahomes was clearly rattled. They’re the number one defense in the league for a reason.

[@tonychains1262]

Nah, he stepped up into those sacks multiple times. He was told to throw the game. He threw a ton of bad passes too. The Eagles are good, but do you really believe they sacked him the most in his career without blitzing?

[@vetstadiumastroturf5756]

Eagles came to play Chefs came to be coronated

[@TheHatManCole]

I think what is really crazy about this that no one is mentioning is that the Eagles DID NOT BLITZ for the entire game! Every time the line came up with a big play it was just the front four, and that is mind blowing to me. The Eagles game plan was honestly next level, never mind their over arching talent, I have never seen a team coached this well. They beat the chiefs, and Andy Reid! That is crazy!

[@stickman1742]

Not that crazy as they are a far superior team. The only advantage people thought the Chiefs had was at qb. This game proved that qbs can't do a damn thing if their team isn't very good. QB effect is ridiculously overrated and only bandwagon fans pay attention to it.

[@deltat6283]

the whole Chiefs team got smacked!!!! 1000% credits go to the E A G L E S !!!!!

[@irar4665]

well done. Key factor was that Mahomes usually gets out of the pocket and those kill ya either with throws to guys who are bound to be open after the extra time or with Mahomes big runs that hes done so many times in big situations. Here, Eagles contained the pocket, so either Mahomes scrambled wrong way, or held on too long thinking he'll be able to get out of the pocket, or just flat out was pressured ( and ANY pressured QB aint the same )

[@jxr_ed]

O-line is the most important component in a Super Bowl imo if you're in the Super Bowl, you're MOST LIKELY going up against one of the best defenses in the league, which means that if your O-line isn't that good you are COOKED the Eagles O-line against the pass didn't allow almost any serious pressures/sacks all game edit: ofc i put most of the blame on Mahomes because he held the ball way too long every single snap just like in the Super Bowl against the Bucs, i swear he was having PTSD flashbacks 💀

[@10thletter40]

Nah, the O-line against the Bucs was third string. If nobody is getting open he can't do it all. Not to mention dropped passes

[@jxr_ed]

@ yeah the receivers weren't doing their job either, but he could've at least tried to start throwing it away or throwing some check downs where he decided not to

[@valjohnson7112]

the chiefs have 4 former pro bowlers on their offensive line lol.

[@chazbarns1410]

The recievers were afraid to commit to a catch haha, they were afraid of getting hit by a wall as soon as they touched the ball. Thats what happens when the opposing team has watched ur plays and studied them. They knew how he plays. Plus its the dynamic duo on the KC that makes them so special, take away kelce and mahomes and the chiefs are garbage once again.

[@mikemccormick8115]

Every football game ever played is won or lost on the front 4. Every great QB had a great line.

The Eagles defense is just insanely dominate. They don't have any fancy schemes, just loaded with good players. The only way to score on them is to outplay them. KC wasn't up to the task. It's as simple as that.

Lots of rookie contracts helps that. All credit to them how they have drafted

[@valjohnson7112]

This game exposed how bad the Chiefs and the whole AFC are... they should've never made it this far but the whole conference is mid

[@stickman1742]

Very true this year. Lamar was horrible in the postseason again. Josh Allen cannot be trusted to Bills have to be conservative and hope to squeak by. Bengals suck early and miss playoffs. The rest are just pretenders. The Chiefs snuck into the SB by default and they are a dead dynasty, just a shell of their former self. Probably unable to win a weak AFC next year even if the conference doesn't improve.

[@codyrobins19]

@@stickman1742 yep Chiefs got lucky with a first round by then proceeded to ek by the next two lackluster opponents with help from questionable calls. Everyone blames the O-Line but that's Mahomes fault because there is so much cap space tied up in him and not to mention they paid Kelce big this offseason after his career worst year and are surprised he played even worse this year... The AFC is just there for the taking if anyone had a decent GM to put together a roster of Middle tier NFC playoff team and a QB that doesn't fold under pressure like Josh and Lamar

[@kylebucy9541]

Three TO's in the SB is not what a "GOAT would do.. Conversation OVER..

It shouldn't even be discussed until Mahomes wins Superbowl number 7. He's got to win 4 more to even be in the same conversation as Brady.

[@frankgraham1996]

No one is to blame for anything. Teams get degraded over time because Football is a Physical Game that takes a lot out of the Players. A team can not remain invincible for more than 4 or 5 years. The breakdowns and cracks take place along the offense and defensive lines. Teams have to constantly draft those positions. This becomes more problematical if you win a lot because you are relegated to a lower draft pick in each round due to success. It is set up this way on Purpose.

[@frankemann81]

Mahomes was shook period and this is coming from a Chiefs fan. The Eagles dominated this game because he was shook.

[@TaxinGigs]

Got em!!!!!!

[@stickman1742]

The entire Chiefs were shook. They lost both sides of the line, the receivers couldn't get open, Kelce is completely washed up, they couldn't run and Mahomes had no time. One of the lopsided SBs ever. Worst in a long, long time. Chiefs dynasty is dead, exposed that they won a very weak AFC. They need to rebuild and most of their coaches will not be around long enough to win another SB. Drake Maye will probably win a SB before Mahomes wins another one.

[@ItsKryptick]

3:47 Great point. I think too many fans are quick to point at the OL, when it's typically a 50/50 share between the QB and the OL, and sometimes it's just entirely the QBs fault. Some of those sacks where Mahomes stepped straight up into the pressure were on him. No reason to climb a clean pocket, especially when he had options. I have been called an idiot in the past for this take, but it was something that really popped up last night. Mahomes is not a good pocket passer. When it comes to playing in time, in structure, he is average at best. Imo, that is the most important aspect of QB play, and Fangio and the Eagles defense did an incredible job holding contain, basically asking Mahomes to beat them from the pocket, and he crumbled. Incredible performance from the Eagles defense.

[@MH3GL]

This is simply the NFL running cover for many seasons of game rigging, that had finally caught up with them. They understood if the Chiefs lose, the converssation will die down, and they can go back to rigging without chatter.

49ers just weren't good enough, nothing to do with refs. Bucs and Eagles have shown that if your pass rush shows up you'll be at KC. 9ers should have been better if they wanted the W.

[@TaxinGigs]

So true. Mahomes is the opposite of Dan Marino. Luckiest and unluckiest QB

[@chrisperez3614]

Don’t forget the coaching. They needed to try to run the ball to stop our pass rush from just pinning their ears back. Should have also tried more screens, but I don’t think it would’ve made that much of a difference. The defense is just too elite.

[@Mogthrasir1989]

Supercondensed Version: Patrick Mahomes. Summary Version: Patrick Mahomes, not used to the pressure he was feeling, melted down by holding the ball too long and trying to run through phantom gaps in the pocket that weren't there. Check out Worthy at 3:09 just hanging out, waiting for the check down for positive yards - that never comes.

[@bburkie55]

I really thought Worthy was dogging it on that play.

[@scott4825]

3 things.... 1. Eagles are damn good at getting to the QB. 2. The Eagles probably decided they were taking off the kid gloves with Mahomes. Some teams have not been aggressive with him because of the phantom roughing calls and him working to get them. 3. There was so much heat from fans and around the league the past 2 weeks over the refs being biased towards the Chiefs, that the refs could give them gifts (or minimally had to let the teams play). It's a lot easier to get pressure to the QB when you are allowed to touch him. This year Mahomes has been taking advantage of the calls by sliding just as he's going to get hit, slowing down at the last minute as he is going out of bounds so he gets hit, and waiting until the pass rush is close and tossing into coverage (to get either a pass interference or a roughing the passer call). These b/s penalties were taken away in the Super Bowl, and it also changes how he has to play the game.

[@oblivionpro69]

Tired of the excuses for Mahomes. He’s always been bad in Superbowls, stop deflecting blame. For example, pick 6 had nothing to do with “pressure” He was bad, period

@@GlennKeith Not sure what your point is, but if you have one you should just say it. Mahomes has not shown himself to be the greatest SB qb or playoff qb. I'm not saying he's bad, he's far ahead of Lamar and Josh Allen in that respect. But it is also very clear that Mahomes was the reason the Chiefs lost to the Bengals in that AFC championship game. He had that horrible play at the end of the first half and then was lousy in the 2nd half and OT. He personally blew that big lead. You know it's true even if you can't admit it to yourself.

[@GreenBro11]

That’s the pressure of being down by 10 and on 2nd and 14, knowing you need to score to keep the game alive. Eagles defense was exceptional but at a points Mahomes was trying to play hero ball.

[@katebeth6616]

I think the key was heavy enveloping pressure. They kept him from running outside the box, where he is the most dangerous.

[@Omegawerewolfx]

The Eagles did not get "some of these sacks" they got ALL of their sacks. Eagles scored what.....95 points in their last two games? Just ran through people this post season. Now Hurts gets like his 25th new offense coordinator again. No consistency at that critical coaching spot.
