Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bad f f kay run rought.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Philadelphia Eagles are world champions.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Well you know what I mean, that's what they say.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Whatever we want to call them, we've got to call
them the champs. Philadelphia. The Eagles are the champs. They're
the Super Bowl fifty nine champions, and what away believably dominant,
truly truly dominant, win forty to twenty two over a
(00:48):
shell shocked Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes and co. Have played
probably only two truly awful games in the Andy Reid
Patrick Mahomes era. Unfortunately, both were Super Bowl losses. Blown
(01:09):
out thirty one to nine against Brady's Buccaneers are now
forty to twenty two against the Eagles, and to be honest,
to be a matter of fact, it was never even
that close. Some late wallpaper over some big, big cracks,
and this one will sting, it'll nag around the team,
(01:32):
it'll hang around like a bad smell. And Mahomes himself
was incredibly quick to explain just how bad this one felt.
And we'll feel moving forward.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I mean, lose a Super Bowl, it's sort of the
worst feel in the world. They'll stick with you the
rest of your career. I mean, these will be the
two losses that will motivate me to be even better
to the rest of my career, because you only get
so few of these and you have to capitalize on these,
and they hurt, probably more than the wins feel good.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So Mahomes threw two picks, he was sacked six times,
he was pressured sixteen times, and as you heard from him,
and look great. He was great in the way he
spoke after the game, very forthright, very authentic, very transparent.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But it'll sting. It'll sting.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
We'll get to the Eagles in a moment, and from
a statistical point of view, she is all Eagle Green.
Jalen Hurts the Super Bowl fifty nine MVP. He was
seventeen of twenty two two hundred and twenty one passing yards,
two touchdowns. He threw an early interception, but he recovered
(02:47):
and rebounded. He also carried the ball eleven times for
seventy two yards and the games opening push push touchdown
Saquon Barkley. He was well held but still had an
impact twenty five carries for fifty seven yards. The Chiefs
did a magnificent job keeping him contained in the run game,
but he had forty yards on six catches, so almost
(03:11):
one hundred yards in the Super Bowl for Saquon Deavonte.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Smith was big sixty.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Nine yards on four catches in a tuddy and aj
Brown had forty three yards on three catches and they
were three big catches.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Also scored a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Maybe this game, though, was about the defense Zach Bourne
picked off Mahomes. Cooper Degen had an amazing pick six
on his twenty second birthday. He was everywhere he had
to be, running up to Hurtz in MVP voting. Josh
Schwett racked up two and a half sacks and Milton
(03:49):
Williams had a couple of sacks of his own. So
the Eagles were dominant, truly dominant across the way. It
was all ugly for the men in red and white,
the man chasing history, the three peat.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
It was ugly.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Mahomes stat sheet, his stat line in twenty years will
look okay, twenty one of thirty two, two hundred and
fifty seven passing yards, three touchdowns, and two picks. But
those of us who watched the game from go to
WOA that he is not a true reflection of his performance.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I've never seen him.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Players bad only twenty four rushing yards from three running backs,
so Mahomes carried the ball, but the running backs were
responsible for just twenty four rushing yards. Xave you Worthy
was honorable, perhaps the Chief's best player, eight catches for
one fifty seven and two touchdowns. Kelsey had just thirty
nine yards on four catches, and DeAndre Hopkins got himself
(04:47):
a Super Bowl touchdown.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
But had a dreadful drop earlier in the match. For Philly.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Revenge handled and revenge given. And we know revenge is
a dish best served cold, and this was stone cold,
and it was stunning seven nil after one. They dropped
(05:16):
seventeen in the second quarter and went up twenty four nil,
twenty four zipy at half time.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And it was basically over.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
If it wasn't Patrick Mahomes, and if we hadn't seen
what Tom Brady and the Patriots had done in twenty seventeen,
she's over thirty four to six through three quarters, she
was officially over. Yeah, Kansas City patched up the box
score in the fourth quarter, but it was as comprehensive
(05:46):
a hammering as you'll ever see from the Birds. And
I was skeptical about Jalen Hurt's ability as a pure
drop back downfield passer, and even though it was barely
needed from him, he did come out gunning that fourth
down strike to AJ Brown, which was ultimately called back.
(06:10):
That was a sign of his intent and his attitude
and the belief too of those around him to be
able to call that play on fourth down. Most of
us thought, Tush push Saquon Barkley, maybe keep it in
the hands of Jalen Hurts and let him use his legs.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
That was a sign.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
That ball to AJ Brown was a sign from Hurtz,
and it was a sign from Siriani and the offense
that he was going to go out and ball. He
was here to win and he was here to dominate.
And that's exactly what he did. Whilst Mahomes run for
his life, Hurts run for first downs and laid in
the third quarter with the game about to be wrapped
(06:53):
up in a nice green bow, Jalen Hurts said, I'm
going to win this right here, right now, to my
Alabama alumni Devonte Smith on a forty six yard bomb.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Touchdown. Wow, forget run the club, that's the dagger. Unbelievable.
The play action fan it hurts, just drops.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
An absolute, an absolute dime, but it was a forty
six yard bomb and it was the dagger Worthy Hopkins
and Worthy again restored some of that scoreboard respect.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
But as I said, this was a route.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So we congratulate Philly and we give them major props.
A dominant line on both sides of the ball, a
historic season from Saquon Barkley, powerful and elusive receivers and
tight ends, a young, energetic and popping bunch of defenders
in the back end, and how good, how great were
(08:13):
they in.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
The Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And a coach who may not do things the way
we want him to, but there's little doubt left. Nick
Siriani can get this team humming. And then there's Ossie
Jordan my Lada, and he breaks down more barriers again
and again and again.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
So he develops from.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And a rostered player with the Eagles to a starter,
to a dominant left tackle, to an all pro to
a Super Bowl champion. Our Super Bowl champion. Jesse Williams,
the monster, he has a Super Bowl ring. We forget
that from his time in Seattle with the Seahawks, But
(09:00):
my Lada was out there busting defenders and creating holes.
He was dominating all season long. He is our super
Bowl champ. And the amount of young, big, powerful boys
and men who have seen what he's done and read
how much he earns and how famous he has become,
(09:24):
you've got to believe they'll be following in his footsteps
trying to do the same thing. Particularly with the announcement
and how great it will be that the NFL is
officially bringing a regular season game to Australia, namely Melbourne
the Mighty MCG for Kansas City. It's some rest, it's
a reset, it's a mini mini rebuild, and we go again.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
My homes is twenty nine. He's got to have.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Health permitting four or five prime years left. The roster
needs some work. I think it's overstated and overblown. If
you say, well, we told you all season long they
didn't look like a great team. Well, they'd only lost
one game, one meaningful game, one game where they tried
(10:15):
all season long. They came through the AFC, which in
my opinion, was stronger than the NFC, and they made
it here, and yes they were blown out, they had
the doors blown off them. But they definitely do need
a little bit of tweaking. They'll go and draft an
offensive tackle in the first round, and they've got a
(10:38):
great record of drafting. There's not a lot of wriggle room.
From a free agency perspective. The coaching set in stone.
They're not going anywhere. Mahomes is there, Kelsey's future up
in the air, but they'll be a factor because Mahomes
is twenty nine and needs to be factored into everything.
(11:01):
He'll come back. This will burn him, you heard him
at the start. He'll be back and he'll probably be
even better if possible. So super Bowl alix is done.
Fifty nine is in the books. New Orleans put on
a show, as did the Eagles, and the record will
show Philly claimed Super Bowl fifty nine forty to twenty two.
(11:23):
But as I said, the game was never ever that close.
So super Bowl sixty the focus shifts. We've got the
off season. Free agency will be crazy, and we know
look to the champs, look to the Eagles as to
what free agency can do for you. Do I need
(11:44):
remind you, say Kwon Barkley. So we've got free agency,
We've got the draft, and then we'll get into the
off season OTAs and training camp and we'll start to
get excited for another season, and we'll start our journey
towards Super Bowl sixty back in the Bay Area, back
to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, the home of the
(12:04):
Niners for the first time since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
When it was Carolina and Denver. Who'll be there, I've
got no idea. Let's find out together.
