nothing's "always" true, but in this case, the quote is vastly more true than not. KC and Philly both have better rosters, GMs, and coaches. KC didn't luck it's way into 2 wins in the past 4 years.

Bingo. We have missed on key draft picks (Oliver, AJ, Boogie, Groot-great #2 DE, not a guy you take at 19), and are in a bad cap situation. KC lost its top WR, brought in a bunch of actual #2 WRs (didn't simply "hope" that a guy with 3 good games would sustain an entire season like that), a playmaker WR on a rookie contract, and drafted well at OL and LB (Humphrey and Bolton).

I believe there is also a quote about luck by Thomas Jefferson to the effect of: those who work the hardest (in the NFL, that would be having the best players and coaches) get the most luck. Last night the Eagles D in the second half played basically our D, and the results were predictable. Our roster is not complete, and we have missed on impact players to put around JA and to rush the other QB in the draft, and as another poster indicated, we do not get the most out of our talent with our playoff coaching (playing soft zone with Elam as a CB, etc.). Luck plays a part, but far from the determining factor.

Could be, but it’s more like watching a great TV series and then it has a garbage ending (no holding called until then!). That’s what the holding call was for me.

hey, I said fined, not beheaded! how’d you edit that!!

their GM is better than Bean. That’s a major difference.

ref crews need to be fined for calls like that.

2nd KC player we should have drafted. They owe us a thank you card.

you have to call consistently. There are holds on tons of plays. None were called until that point.

Good points, but Eagles D went soft, playing off, although KC took full advantage as you noted. And the KC O-line is really good. But that call at the end and that Hurts gift were the game, IMO.

these are the best offseason threads, (except for my attempt at Friday mock-draft threads ;))

You make good points, and I appreciate the reply and info. I just don't have an issue with people becoming really rich pushing Jesus (and I'm not an Evangelist), but I totally get your points. 👍

this one gets a big ** from me. Hurts gifting KC a TD, Refs gifting KC inability to come back. Really coaching didn't stand out today.

they did let the Chiefs back in. One of my friends texted me they looked like the Bills letting someone come back with bizarre plays. But I'd be angry at the Refs also. Bingo.

agree with all those points, but I think that KC will be just fine without Reid. They'll find someone who can get WRs open like that. When you have a good OL that can create time you get WRs open. I'd give the MVP to the Eagles OL (I know, has to be one person, and only once has gone to losing team). That said, no single player really stood out all game. Mahomes is a lazy pick (QB on winning team).

eh, I dislike KC slightly more. Travis Kelce has to be one of the cockiest players to ever play. He's infinitely more classless than the Eagles coach, who in the example you cite likely got into an argument likely with a cocky position coach who questioned Nick because he's young. I also hate poor officiating deciding games.

would love an OL like the Eagles have. They are not in the game without it. Converting 3 and 4th and shorts. That 2-point conversion. Just wow.

Mahomes is more important than Reid.

My response was that it is impressive, and that the Jets have done well in drafting, PERIOD. I included Breece Hall, not a 2nd round pick. Contrasted to our 1sts of recent years that are not impact players: Oliver, Rosseau, Elam.

I wonder what happens if a Philly player had picked up the RB prior to when he gave himself up and carried him into the endzone...would be one of the most interesting plays in NFL history? I'm guessing it stops the play where he picks him up?

can't even watch the post game. Really didn't care who won, but man, that flag was total garbage. You don't call PI at the end of a game unless it's really blatant and caused the WR to not catch it. That was neither. I hope the Eagles coach has the guts to call out the refs on it.

McD’s time is past. Unless they win a SB, but then the award is already given out—which is nuts. Eagles coach has a good argument to win it also.

why? They can’t make money? Likely that person has book deals also. the CEO of that would be comparable to the CEO of a large corporation in terms of responsibilities. It’s odd that people think they shouldn’t be compensated for that work. Also, did her Husband have a job? Two high incomes perhaps? Did she inherit money?

interesting. guess the broadcast gig is not paying enough??

I’d take a speedy downfield route runner with hands. Playing opposite Diggs should open that guy up a bit. Anyone you see that fits this mold? Seems like some guys in later rounds may be available (guy from Iowa State whose name escapes me and PSU guy). agree. I think we have our slot guy already or get Beasly back. Need that downfield catching threat. I’d be ok with OT in rd1 also if a good WR is not there. Also helps passing game.
