CFZ Takeaways from last night's Super Bowl!

[Cowboyny]

-The refs cannot decide a game. That 3rd down call was a touch foul at best. The commissioner was raving how the officiating is so good during the week, but it decided the football game for the championship of the league. Eagles down 3 with over a minute left still had a chance.

-Elite Offensive Lines were on display. Eagles led the league in sacks, Chiefs didn't give up a single one. Eagles did the same. Chiefs lost to TB to cause their OL couldn't hold up as did the Bengals this year. Cowboys need to finish their OL rebuilding job.

-Running the football still matters in this modern age of the game. Chiefs ran the ball over 150 yards, Eagles have one of the hardest run game to defend in this league. Hurts QB sneak in short yardage, probably the most indefensible play. Mobile QB's getting those key 3rd down picks are also huge.

-Elite TE's are such a mismatch for any defense. Yes, we know Kelce is special, but Godert was killing the Chiefs for most of the night, making tough catch after tough catch. Many want to resign Shultz, he probably has maxed out his talent, wants to be paid like Kelce and is no where near elite.

-Talent around Hurts is elite full of playmakers from their great OLine, elite TE and two #1 receivers. There is a big gap in offensive talent that we need to close this offseason, having Noah Brown as our #2 receiver is laughable, probably wouldn't even make the Eagles final 53.

-Hurts is going to be a problem for a long time. It's up to Dan Quinn to figure his kryptonite this offseason and ways to defend him moving forward. Eagles no doubt will be handing him a huge extension this offseason, where their talent might be less, but that offense is so unique to defend. They also have a top 10 pick in the draft.

We've done a great job against the Eagles with Hurts. I agree that improving the Cowboys is essential, though.

When the player the foul was called on comes out and says he did grab the jersey, that means it was a legit call.

Hurts fumble for TD and the long punt return allowed is what lost the game for the Eagles.

 

[Smith22]

Already tired of the crying over 1 call.

How about not giving up a back breaking punt return? How about now allowing WRs running wide open on goalline plays?

We haven’t played this version of hurts

Not to mention it was a clear hold

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

The Cowboys need to build another 2016 O-Line they can waste on a bad QB.

We beat him in December. Wasn't that long ago. One thing the Cowboys do well is beat division opponents no matter how good they are at the time. Let's keep that going and get better like the OP said.

-Elite quarterbacks don’t grow on trees. I think there are only two now, Mahomes and Burrow.
-At pick 26 the Cowboys need to get that left guard to finish our offensive line rebuild. Eagles/Chiefs have elite offensive lines and they control games with it.
-Hurts is good no doubt but let’s not go crazy. He has the best offensive line and best receivers in the league. Remember the 2017 Eagles quarterbacks? One looked like the MVP that year and the other outplayed the GOAT in the Super Bowl. By the way 2017 Eagles were better then this Eagles team.
-It’s about having an elite quarterback or having elite units on your team. The Eagles have 4 elite units (offensive line, defensive line, receivers and cornerbacks)
-The elite quarterback seems to win out in the end.

Even the Eagle player admitted it was a hold and the right call…good grief. And the rules analyst stated if you watched the entire play you’ll see the Philly player held twice. A game shouldn’t be decided by allowing the defence to hold…the refs made the right call…

Somebody's wupset their favorite team choked....lol

 

[Hawkeye0202]

It's a copycat league......wonder how many teams duplicate their QB sneak concept. It's damn near unstoppable...

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Somebody's wupset their favorite team choked....lol

This the best ya got, Ken?

The guy you bet me Dak would have a better season then just won the league and Super Bowl MVP hahahahahahahahahahahaha

You have no idea what a good QB looks like. You've proven that. Your takes aren't based in reality.

 

[lukin2006]

Philadelphia got owned in the 2nd half…KC just got better as the game rolled along…and just maybe KC having to play a legit QB in the AFC championship prepared them better for a 4 quarter game…

Depends on the QB. What works great for QB's like Hurts and Mahomes might not work as well for the Dak's of the NFL.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Minshew played that game.

Thanks. I stand corrected.

Mahomes was awesome, already said that multiple times.

I was likely the only one defending Hurts on this board and in all of Eagle nation, so you guys really need to come up with something better than I don't know football... lol

I know it is painful that a huge chunk of your offseason talking points is harpooned now that Philly choked. lol

 

[acr731]

You should be proud your guy made it to the super bowl. Does being there in street clothes still count?

Agree, have to finish the OL first, then surround our QB with elite, skilled positional players. I really want an elite TE and a legitimate high-end #2 WR. Also, got to build around how to stop the Eagles. Need that #2 corner to match up against Smith, one who has elite speed/quickness.
