And yes, I agree it was a weakish call. But what bothers me about it is that it did not lose the game for Philadelphia. KC was going to take the lead with a FG, penalty or not. But it did deny Philly an opportunity. People are acting like it was a given Philly would win had that not been called.

KC played a great second half for sure.

Did they score on every drive?

Yes. TD-TD-TD-FG. The last would have been a TD had they needed it.

When you do that in a football game you win most of them. ?

The numbers were not gaudy, but I thought Mahomes was as big time as it gets yesterday. That was the type of game he would throw a careless pick or two a year ago. 96.4 QBR. That's the highest QBR in a Super Bowl since the stat has been tracked.

Same, I thought Patrick had a great game.

I can only imagine. That's just who he is. 

Everyone sees him as a "poor man's Gronk" and he knows it.   Inferiority complex.

As a 30+ year Eagles fan it’s a pretty disappointing way to end a dream season.  The defense that played so well all season just didn’t get it done in the second half. I kept hoping for an interception or a fumble recovery that would change our fortunes in the second half but none ever came. The “let ‘em play” attitude took an abrupt turn with Bradberry’s holding penalty. You didn’t call it earlier in the game, why now? In the most critical time. People love games with little to no penalties and that’s pretty much what we got in this one and it’s what we saw for the most part in these playoffs. But once again, late in the game, the Chiefs are the beneficiaries of a flag thrown or not thrown. Now, that flag being thrown didn’t beat us. Giving up two WIDE OPEN tds on the same play is what gets you beat. What makes that worse is that Jacksonville scored on the same play months ago against us. I could go on and on about the lack of adjustments in the second half but that just makes me angrier.  
 

Instead I’ll just end on a happy note. We have a very good franchise qb in Jalen Hurts. He’s a calm, cool leader that will bounce back from this. He’s a top 5 quarterback that will keep Philly relevant for years to come. Go Birds!! 
 

One more thing, thanks if you’re still reading, I’ll never believe the NFL is rigged. Just too many people to keep quiet.  Dirty maybe, just not rigged.

Agree with all points. As an Eagles fan myself and former season ticket holder, this is probably the best Eagles team I can remember. But the one problem they've had this year in more than a few games, they've not played well in the second half. They've got a few big roster decisions to make that are going to be complicated by the money they will have to pay Hurts. With a tougher schedule next year, its not hard to envision them taking a small step back next year.

Kelce was a real turd in the post-game interview. 

His "no one believes in us" stuff is utter nonsense.

It amazes me every game how athletes find things where "nobody believed" in them. I will say going into the season people had a lot of question marks with the Chiefs in how the previous year came to a sputtering end and with them losing arguably the best WR in football. This season was about Mahomes flexing.
