-         I GIVE THE CHIEFS THE EDGE HERE

 

 

HEAD COACH

        PHI – NICK SIRIANNI HAS GOTTEN TO THE SUPER BOWL TWICE IN TOTALITY AND IS 0-1 PENDING TONIGHT’S GAME: 2023 & 2025

            KC – ANDY REID HAS APPEARED IN FIVE SUPER BOWLS WITH THE CHIEFS & SIX IN HIS CAREER (ONE WITH PHILLY IN 2005)

-         THE EDGE GOES TO KC

 

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR

        PHI – KELLEN MOORE IS IN HIS FIRST SEASON AS THE EAGLES OC AND HAS BEEN AN OC WITH THREE TEAMS (DAL 2019-2022, LAC 2023, PHI 2024).  EAGLES HAD THE 8^TH BEST OFFENSE IN TOTAL YARDS THIS SEASON

            KC – MATT NAGY IS CURRENTLY IN HIS SECOND STINT AS THEIR OC AND IS IN HIS FOURTH SEASON IN THIS ROLE (2016-2017 & 2023-2024). CHIEFS HAD THE 17^TH RANKED OFFENSE

-         PHI HAS THE CLEAR EDGE

 

 

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

        PHI – VIC FANGIO IS KNOWN FOR BEING ONE OF THE BEST DEFENSIVE-MINDED COACHES IN THE NFL.  HE HAS BEEN A DC FOR SEVEN TEAMS IN HIS NFL CAREER (CAR 95-98, IND 99-01, HOU 02-05, SF 11-14, CHI 15-18, MIA 2023, PHI 2024).  VIC HAS DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB IN HIS FIRST SEASON AS THEIR DC AND HAS THEM RANKED #1 IN TOTAL YARDS ALLOWED (4,732, 278.4 YPG) AND 2^ND BEST IS POINTS (303, 17.8 PPG)

            KC- STEVE SPAGNOULO IS THE ONLY COORDINATOR IN NFL HISTORY WITH FOUR SUPER BOWL RINGS.  HE’S BEEN THE CHIEFS DC FOR SIX SEASONS AND HAS BEEN A DC FOUR TIMES IN HIS CAREER WITH THREE TEAMS: NYG 07-08, NO 2012, NYG 15-17, KC 2019-PRESENT).  SPAGS DEFENSE RANKED 9^TH IN TOTAL YARDS ALLOWED THIS SEASON (5,451, 320.6 YPG) & 4^TH IN SCORING DEFENSE (326, 19.2 PPG)

-         PEOPLE WOULD CERTAINLY ARGUE SPAGS IS BETTER, THOUGH I AM GIVING THE EDGE TO VIC FANGIO AND THE EAGLES WHO HAD TWO ROOKIE CORNERS NOMINATED FOR ROOKIE DPOTY

            KC – LDE GEORGE KARLAFTIS

                       LDT TERSHAWN WHARTON/ DERRICK NNADI

                      RDT CHRIS JONES

                      RDE MIKE DANNA

-         CHIRS JONES IS ONE OF THE BEST D-LINEMEN IN THE NFL TODAY, STILL THE EAGLES DL IS THE CREAM OF THE CROP SO PHILLY GETS THE EDGE

                        P BRADEN MANN

              PR/KR COOPER DEJEAN/ISAIAH RODGERS

                     RT JAWAAN TAYLOR

-          THE CHIEFS HAVE SOME DECENT GUYS UP FRONT, HOWEVER, PHILLY POSSESSES THE BIGGEST O-LINE IN THE LEAGUE WITH 2-3 POSSIBLE FUTURE HALL-OF-FAMERS UP FRONT.  PHILLY GETS THE EDGE!

 

TIGHT END/ WIDE OUTS

            PHI- TE DALLAS GOEDERT/ GRANT CALCATERRA

                     WRS A.J. BROWN

                                 DEVONTA SMITH

                                JAHAN DOTSON

            KC – TE TRAVIS KELCE

                     WRS DEANDRE HOPKINS/ XAVIER WORTHY

                                 HOLLYWOOD BROWN

                                 JUJU SMITH-SCHUSTER

-         THOUGH I DO BELIEVE AT THIS POINT IN HIS CAREER A.J. BROWN IS THE BEST WIDEOUT PLAYING IN THIS GAME, THE CHIEFS HAVE THE BETTER ALL-AROUND PLETHORA OF OPTIONS.  KC GETS THE EDGE

 

RUNNING BACK

                          

            PHI – SAQUON BARKLEY

                        KENNETH GAINWELL

                        WILL SHIPLEY

           

            KC- KAREEM HUNT

                      ISIAH PACHECO

                     SAMAJE PERINE

-         KAREEM HUNT IS A VERY TALENTED RUNNING BACK.  SAQUON BARKLEY IS JUST IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN! THE OBVIOUS EDGE GOES TO PHILLY

 

QUARTERBACK

 

            PHI – JALEN HURTS

 

            KC - PATRICK MAHOMES

 

-         HURTS IS AN IMMENSELY TALENTED ATHLETE AND ONE OF THE MOST VERSATILE QBS IN THE NFL TODAY. 

-         PATRICK MAHOMES MEANWHILE IS CHASING HIS 4^TH LOMBARDI, 3^RD IN A ROW IF HE CAN PULL IT OFF

-         ITS PRETTY CLEAR THE EDGE GOES TO KC

 

IT IS HARD TO BET AGAINST ANY DYNASTY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS LED BY THE MAN THAT PEOPLE ARE CALLING THE NEW G.O.A.T, THOUGH I DO BELIEVE THAT BARKLEY HAS BEEN THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NFL THIS SEASON AND WILL BE ROOTING FOR THE EAGLES (SOLEY FOR THIS GAME) TO TAKE HOME THE LOMBARDI!
