The Chiefs took a lead early in the 4th quarter, and the Eagles never lead again.Yep, what a failure not coming back with a whole 6 seconds remaining.

That's somewhat pedantic take as the quality that was being made (as if you didn't know) was Hurts' ability to comeback ....and as we know he brought the scores level with 5 mins remaining......that doesn't dispel or disprove @Aerolithe_Lion 's stat.The Chiefs took a lead early in the 4th quarter, and the Eagles never lead again.
Were they losing? Yes. Did they win? No. Did they even take the lead? No.That's somewhat pedantic take as the quality that was being made (as if you didn't know) was Hurts' ability to comeback ....and as we know he brought the scores level with 5 mins remaining......that doesn't dispel or disprove @Aerolithe_Lion 's stat.
Nothing's guided on absolutes, but that stat indicates that he has the quality to battle adversity and probably that his focus intensifies with pressure.Were they losing? Yes. Did they win? No. Did they even take the lead? No.
The stat is stupid because it uses a qualifier that ignores things like the Jets game.
KC lost the game, plain and simple. Hurts was no better than a backup in last night's game.This is like a Dak argument in reverse.
.... deflecting any praise away from Hurts.
In reality the Eagles have found a gameplan that suits their QB's strengths, with a run first approach, he has the mobility to keep downs alive and that ability to lead his team when they need him most.
Lucky, maybe, but you could argue you make your own luck and as the saying goes its better to be lucky than talented.
No, a good team is more than a QB. KC proved that on last night. Supporting cast is everything.Id wager thats what makes a good team good.
So if Swift had scored on a run, who would be getting the credit?On the flip side, good teams take advantage of mistakes, and the person who just happened to score the winning TD was Hurts. It certainly isn't the first time he's done it as well. At the end of the day, only wins and losses count.
Well, how did Mr. Clutch fare in last years championship?The Eagles are executing their game better than other good teams when it matters. That's football. People talk about the Kelce fumble whereas if that play happened against the Cowboys the focus would be on the opportunistic play by the defender not the fumble itself.
Hurts makes the plays when required in the clutch and that's what matters. The Eagles are not bothered about him scoring 5 touchdowns in a blow out against a terrible team - scoring is for show winning is for dough.
He's Mr Clutch.
So in that case don't pay your QB the money, use the CAP on the roster.No, a good team is more than a QB. KC proved that on last night. Supporting cast is everything.
......I agree, there's no point in paying $50m on a QB, any backup will do.KC lost the game, plain and simple. Hurts was no better than a backup in last night's game.
In the SB, he got the comeback to level the scores with 5 mins remaining, then Mahomes won it on the last drive.Well, how did Mr. Clutch fare in last years championship?
It was proven on last year that you can win if the players are adequate, with the same high paid QB. So far, the KC catching groups are subpar.So in that case don't pay your QB the money, use the CAP on the roster.
......I agree, there's no point in paying $50m on a QB, any backup will do.
But then again if you dont have the roster you tend to have to rely on the expensive QB (ala Mahomes in said SB).It was proven on last year that you can win if the players are adequate, with the same high paid QB. So far, the KC catching groups are subpar.
That isnt what i was refering to.No, a good team is more than a QB. KC proved that on last night. Supporting cast is everything.
The entire team gets credit, but you know by now that the QB, right or wrong, gets the lion's share of the credit and blame for whatever happens. The QB leads the team on offense. That's just the way it is. Sort of like being POTUS--to the general public, everything happens because of the person that sits in the White House, right or wrong.So if Swift had scored on a run, who would be getting the credit?
Cool. It's still a pointless stat that's reverse engineered from the narrative.Nothing's guided on absolutes, but that stat indicates that he has the quality to battle adversity and probably that his focus intensifies with pressure.
He loses games, but is impressive on comebacks.
Their run game impressed me but I think they need more talent at WR. But any given Sunday with Mahomes they are a force to reckon withWell Mahomes was suppose to mask those issues but can’t catch the football himself.
They are but I don’t understand the need to take the harder route. Make Mahomes life harder just because he’s the best. This is why Brady and Rodgers eventually got fed up.Their run game impressed me but I think they need more talent at WR. But any given Sunday with Mahomes they are a force to reckon with
Losing hill was huge but not replacing him with much at all was dumb. Even the best need talent around themThey are but I don’t understand the need to take the harder route. Make Mahomes life harder just because he’s the best. This is why Brady and Rodgers eventually got fed up.
He’s arguably the best receiver in the league. People keep talking about cap but there’s no way I use him as a cap casualty…I mean they got their ring so I really don’t have a leg to stand on there but I believe they win that ring with Hill too.Losing hill was huge but not replacing him with much at all was dumb.

Well he helped the Eagles' offense put up 35 points in the Superbowl and a half time lead only for the defense to lose the game.Well, how did Mr. Clutch fare in last years championship?
