Chris Simms has always respected the Chiefs and Mahomes. He's the man this year for not doubting the Chiefs/Mahomes. And he's the least biased sports analyst I've seen.
He only had 27 attempts because the eagles offense had so many long drives. Also, the Bolton TD on the fumble return took away an offensive drive and the Toney punt return turned that into a very short possession for the offense. That's why he didn't have the passing yardage. He did complete 78% of his passes, had 3 TDs, no turnovers and a 130+ passer rating though. He took what the defense gave him and didn't try to do to much. He also had a couple of big time runs on one good ankle. There is no doubt he was the MVP.
Swear to god. Lol. People be like “rigged for the chiefs” Is that why they took away a TD and ignored holding calls? Damn. So rigged for the chiefs 😱😱😱
Mahomes had a 131 passer rating, nearly 30 points higher than Hurts. Off the charts QB rating. The Chiefs used the run more and limited Mahomes pass plays quite a bit, and it was effective. If you consider Mahomes scrambling (on one leg) to set up the go ahead score, it was MVP level performance.
"Mahomes had a 131 passer rating, nearly 30 points higher than Hurts. Off the charts QB rating" - That was because he was dinking and dunking passes. Wasn't hardly anything special, sir.
@@neetrab 131 is extremely efficient passing. It is the 7th highest QB passer rating ever in a Super Bowl out of over 114 QB SB starts. 77% completion. 3TDs with over 7 ypa. He did it on a busted ankle too. Don’t be delusional.
MAHOMES was the MVP hands down. And for those AGAIN complaining about well his stats weren't that great. YES HIS STATS WERE PHENOMENAL! When you with common sense take into account that this guy facing the "so-called" historic EAGLES 70 sacks defense...DID IT ON ONE HEALTHY LEG!!!
They say his stats weren't that great, then try to minimize Mahomes on one hand, but praise the eagles defense on the other. He scored every possession in the second half, no turnovers the entire game, only missed on one pass in the entire second half. If he tried forcing the ball deep so he can pad his numbers but got incomplete passes, then he's a bad quarterback, not MVP, but when he takes what defense gives you, and beats you playing the way you force him to, he's not only MVP of season n Superbowl, but he's in GOAT league now, lol
@@lorenzahill5365 And even though all of the "all knowing" analysts missed it. That "ring around the Allegretti" play that ended in the incompletion by Mahomes, especially having Mahomes throw it away was designed as a diversion to help sell Skyy Moore cut across the formation for the next play where he acted as if he was going to cut across but stopped and "corn dogged" the EAGLES defense with a TD. The genius of that whole set of plays from the 1st down was to dupe the EAGLES D into that wide open frontier TD by Skyy Moore.
One just needs to look at Reid's record after a bye week. Give him 2 weeks to study a defense and devise an attack plan? It usually doesn't end well for the other team. The same goes for Spags. One can't blame the Eagles' players, they played their miinds out. But they flat out got out-coached.
Frank clark would have had at least 2 huge plays if the grass was better, the reason the eagles were more vocal about it is because they lost, but it definitely affected both teams. Both offenses would not have been as dominant with better grip for the pass rushers
The comment about Bolton was spot on. And the funny part was that he actually did have another return for TD but because of stupidity by whoever makes the rules that was not a catch. But it was a catch.
Don't be silly. I saw the 5 gallon bucket of the special, patent pending, "amazing magic Eagles only slip formula #4" on the sideline. Guaranteed to cause slippages only on Defensive lineman wearing green. While the liquid actively moved away from Chiefs D linemen. I could see Jones shoes were totally dry!!!
It does seem silly for that to be said but i think it comes down to pure luck honestly. I seen mahomes slip a little and kelce and some others but i personally have played on turn and practiced on it and it's kinda like ice with cleats on. The cleats for the most part give you stability but any wrong angle could constitue a slip
Look at the Chiefs last two TD's - identical plays. Guy goes in motion, right before the snap, retraces his steps and is wide open. First TD on the right, second on the left side. Weird that the Eagles D allowed that second TD on the same type of play.
I think it was a flaw in their training, with coaches yelling at people to hustle to get re-set for the shift. And they did totally different assignments when it went from 3x1 to 2x2. They were so drilled-and-killed on that response to motion that they weren't even looking. Slay, on the left side, looked like he was one of the leaders making sure everybody shifted in practice, maybe. It IS more efficient for everybody to shift a little bit than to mirror with 1 defender all across the formation. It wasn't EXACTLY the same play, because the 1st one, Corndog, is a planned run with an option to throw. I think the one to Skyy Moore was a pass play involving the same motion. I agree that it was pretty embarrassing to be caught twice with the same trick. Because it WAS the exact same trick. I'm just relaying what the Chiefs said, afterward. To you or me, though, it was the same exact thing.
Watch Kurt Warner's breakdown of those plays, he goes more in depth about the coverage and the plays before. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i037CrzUDko.html
You could also make the argument that Mahomes doesn’t need to put up phenomenal numbers to slap 38 points on the board. You want to talk about efficiency? Literally everyone on the Chiefs offense had to slow down and hold short to keep from scoring too fast. We’re talking 5 minutes of game time for a team that’s proven repeatedly that it can score at will in a few seconds!
I love that Simms doesn't sensor himself just to part of the national sports media. Basically saying I'm not going to tone myself down just because I'm on TV bleep it out I love that and I respect it
Nick Bolton did have another big time play. That catch and fumble recovery. It was a catch and a fumble, without a doubt. The Chiefs got hosed on wayyyy more calls in that game.
How anyone saying Mahomes wasn't the mvp is insane. Bro he played on one leg and ran for the game winning 1st down to really close the game. Come on son.
He played with both legs and his stats are soft hurts deserved the mvp but they never give it to the most valuable player in the game just the winner just like Brady deserved it in 2017 and so on
In my opinion there should absolutely be a Most Valuable Group award alongside MVP, an individual and group position, in both the Super Bowl and Regular season. Give the big guys in the trenches some love!
Simms made a comment yesterday, I think, about how even when the Eagles were marching up and down the field and hitting on long bombs, I was thinking The Chiefs were stoning the run, and even if Hurts were playing lights-out - which he pretty much DID - those shots were low-percentage, and he was making them under duress. That's what the Chiefs wanted, and even when Philly won the down, I was thinking "Chiefs got what they wanted, and only JUST missed a tackle for loss (or minimal gain), which was basically what Simms said about that lopsided first half. The Chiefs were taking risks, but they were calculated risks that forced Philly to take risks. The clock and scoreboard were saying one thing in the first half, but what I was seeing on the field was a game where the Chiefs seemed to ALMOST have the upper hand, and Philly was barely squirming out of it, with great plays from the quarterback. It hadn't happened, YET, but I got a real sense that the KC D was gong to get some stops. Even the long TD to AJ Brown could've gone either way, if McDuffie didn't wrong-foot himself. It was a great highlight, and he DID keep it away from Thornhill, but on any other play, that's a contested catch. AJ can still win that contest against a not-tall corner, but the odds really start stacking up against the success of the next shot of that sort. Yeah, it sucked for KC that it resulted in a touchdown, but they did NOT march down the field like a juggernaut, and THEIR defense went right back on the field in a first half that was DOMINATED by Philadelphia in time of possession. So the defense, after a bunch of jumping up and down in celebration, went back on the field, and the KC D got what turned out to be about the only rest the KC D got in that first half. I was STILL worried about the KC offense. In the end, Philly LOOKED more aggressive against the run than it actually was. 8 men in the box, but the MLB is FROZEN. The vaunted front 4 is thinking "pass" and Pacheco runs right by them. The KC interior went toe-to-toe with the best, deepest interior d-line in the league, if not in NFL history. Trey Smith was reach-blocking the DT to his left, who was shaded to the center's left shoulder. The KC interior o-line put on a clinic. Andrew Wylie looked like he spent all year preparing for this game, and the brain trust schemed the rest of his problems away, with a perfect chip by a TE or back. On more than one snap, I saw a TE take on Riddick, with Wylie just waiting behind the TE, taking Riddick out of the play entirely. By the 4th quarter, the Philly D-line looked kind of tired, and Wylie won a surprising number of 1-on-1's, with more guys out in the pattern, as well as a surprising number of running plays. I remember hearing about #97 for 2 weeks, and watching our front move him wherever they wanted, springing Pacheco on the regular, AND destroying defenders on the 2nd level. Definitely an overall team win. I love Tyreek Hill, but THIS team win was in large part a result of NObody being selfish about the ball. You need to take your shots when they're there, or when it's a desperate situation, but not just because #10 is in the vicinity. The KC offense IS more lop-sided towards the pass, generally, and it sets up the run. I think this offense was better built to exploit the middle of the field with quick slants and short and intermediate crossers. They're very strong but they come with a higher attrition rate, because you're putting them in heavy traffic. Guys they can't see, vectoring in high, low, and in-between, from every direction. Guys get hurt that way. So you have to use it sparingly, but you want it there when you need it, especially in a single-elimination tournament. None of those WRs are stars, but all of them know their jobs and catch everything. Good, not great speed. Juju was signed as much for his toughness as anything else. He has a little of that D-Bowe DNA, where DBs are more likely to get hurt trying to take his head off as he is in their attempt. His injury history has more to do with the tendency to throw to him in tight windows in position to get lit up. He's tough, but he gets put in harm's way in the clutch. It's something you need in the clutch, but you save it for the biggest games. part of its power is you don't give up enough film to draw much scrutiny. You don't want it to be your bread and butter, all season, because you want that player peaking from December to February, and you don't want defenses pinning their ears back to smoke your guy when he does the predictable thing. That's part of why Sammy Watkins was so great for the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. In his case, the corner route wasn't putting him in harm's way. It was just taking advantage of a 1-on-1, with the safety snoozing. They put SF to sleep against Sammy and that's when he struck. Unless it's Travis Kelce or Patrick Mahomes, having a KC Chief on your fantasy team is a fool's bet. There just isn't anybody with gaudy stats, outside of that.
Comment was super long but i enjoyed reading it. I tried to explain to people who overlooked the chiefs O&D line that the chiefs Defense and OLine show up in tough games when they're needed and that it will happen against the eagles in the SB. My examples were the complete shutting down of Derrick Henry the last 2-3 times we have played the titans. Another example was how we shut down the Bengals in the AFC championship perine and Mixon didn't produce nearly as effectively as they have all season or previously against us. We also slowed down Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins. Everybody has been saying chiefs defense sucks but i think the people saying that don't really understand what they're watching more less believing what people online have to say about the chiefs. All the sports analyst's for most of the broadcast stations all picked the eagles to run over the chiefs. Just so many doubters around the world. I'm hoping that after the masterful display our offense line had with 0 sacks the entire game against arguably the best DLine in the league. They had a dynamic run offense that we stifled the entire game besides allowing hurts to run which is harder to cover than a RB. I think the chiefs earned respect for there Defense and offensive line
To say that the Chiefs didn't have a chance against the Eagles reminds me of another situation. No one felt that David had a chance against Goliath. We know what happened there right!!!
Receivers can also be wide open because of the quarterbacks’ eyes and body language so surely Mahomes has at least a little to do with his receivers being open
A good balanced spreadsheet is the most efficient way to win! The chiefs didn’t rely on the pass as usual in these types of situations as history has shown, and they knew the eagles were betting the house on a heavy passing attack! You have to give it up for Andy! He leveled the play book with the running game! Not just Pacheco and McKinnon but Mahomes breaking big runs opened the play action and motion jet sweeps fakes for big big plays in the game! A QB doesn’t need 400 yards and 5 touchdowns to win a MVP, to be labeled the greatest, throw a very efficient game, high completions with a very accurate ball, but always leaving the defense worrying about the possible run, kept the chiefs ahead even when they were down! Jalen said it best in the third quarter , he said he knew they were going to lose, after the chiefs moved down the field so fast to open the second half! Mahomes is that good!
All this talk about the genius of Big Red. I'm thankful for him as a Chiefs fan. I haven't done deep digging on this. Can anybody tell me why he fizzled out in Philly? How did this coach have a HORRIBLE losing season his final year there? Did maybe he burn out? Clash with upper management? Not get the type of players he wanted?
The Eagles had such a weak schedule. If I remember right they had the second easiest schedule of 2022. The Chiefs had the second hardest schedule of 2022. That being said the Eagles played a hell of a game and Jalen Hurts was fantastic. At the end of the day the Eagles got Mahomesed.
@@noahscheffey5636 Exactly The chiefs won due to a controversial call and only won by 3 points. These chief clowns are talking like the chiefs doggwalked the eagles 66-7 haha
I wish the broadcasters would stop, STOP, zooming in so close with their cameras. It makes the game unwatchable. PLEASE stop using zoom so much it's a football game. TV games were much better 30 years ago, MUCH MUCH better.
They played a lot of bad teams with a lot of bad QBs and a lot of bad lines. But when you get into how they actually performed, it was not as good as people thought. And it wasn't just the Chiefs, the Jags saw it but they're not yet talented enough to exploit, the 49ers saw the same thing, as well, they just lost their QB.
Didn't the chiefs almost lose to the jags? lol! And stop. The chiefs won due to a controversial call and only won by 3 points. Stop talking like the chiefs doggwalked the eagles. Sit down hahaha
Let's keep this simple: The reason the Eagles lost is they were overconfident. I have never seen a more arrogantly overconfident team than this group of Eagle players. They thought all they had to do is show up...
The hold was clear enough and since they’d already not called one hold by him on juju so if you think the eagles fans were mad, imagine how mad the chiefs would’ve been if the refs let the eagles cheat just because it’s the end of the game. That makes it even more important to call that. Can’t just reward Bradberry for that. Only Eagles fan and idiots believe that really makes any sense. Pat would’ve thrown the ball if he hadn’t been held so obviously the chiefs have to get another chance. They should retrain their anger on the guy who actually held juju. Obviously.
So tired of hearing about the field for the Eagles as if the Chiefs didn't play on the same field. The ONLY time the Chiefs O-line would have an advantage was in the run game, but pass blocking is passive and you're going backwards where it's much easier to slip.
My J hawks couldn't win free throws and my head coach had a heart attack otherwise we could have a repeat of the Jayhawks and the chierfss when in the Super Bowl wet! dream
The Birds were holding the whole game and getting away with it.....Then they get called for holding at the end, and now Birds are crying , "We were holding the whole game, and it's not fair that they called it at the end, Bad call." Cry As Babies....
Lets pretend you could invent a red zone play that will succeed every time. Would you run it every week? No, you run it twice in a super-bowl, when you need it. And you jab the entirety of a Super-bowl game with every variation possible before you use it. Twice.
@@slagwill5599 LOL, no, nothing like his dad. His dad had skills, and apparently someone owed him favors. Chrissy couldn't even keep a starting job in college. He dug holes that Major Applewhite had to fill.
Lost in all this is the fact that the Eagles offense schooled the Chiefs defense. Yes, they lost the game but it’s not as though KC’s defense had any answers for Hurts and Co.
They did in the second half. In either the eagles never scored on all their drives, but the Chiefs actually did so in the second half, so which defense got schooled, eagles yup.
Actually, it is not JBs problem. He was told his team has 83 Bears like pass rush. Though truth was it was just the trash conference his team was a part of.
