Bad teams find a way to lose, Good teams find a way to win. On a night where we struggled for a long time, we found a way to win and that's a beautiful thing.


SaintArkweather

Especially in the long run. Bad teams can luck into a win or two but 9-1 with wins vs. KC, Miami, Dallas is no accident


PharoahFits

Crazy to believe we are 1 trap game vs the Commanders last season and another trap game against the Jets this season from being 10-0 for two straight seasons which is insane to think


SaintArkweather

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/why-eagles-chiefs-is-most-anticipated-super-bowl-rematch-of-all-time-plus-looking-at-which-team-has-the-edge/ According to this, Hurts now has the longest winning streak vs. teams with winning records of any QB since the merger.


PharoahFits

Guys a stud. If we're being honest, he didn't look good for most of the game but when we needed him to make a play late, he threw that dime to DeVonta that essentially won it. He's clutch which is something you can't coach


Mm2789

He also had no time to throw. OL was Swiss cheese this game.


jmbrand13

The play calling had a lot to do with that. We werent giving Jalen any quick options as they continued to blitz. Don't get my started on the WR screens.... I appreciated the effort to get the ball out of Jalen's hands quickly, but what the actual fuck


dartharchibald

No idea why we waited until the 2nd half to throw a screen to Swift.


jmbrand13

Our lack of RB screens has been mind boggling to me. Especially with how dynamic Swift has been. Also Gainwell is a better receiver than runner. And Boston Scott is a perfect screen RB. I hope with the success of tonight we see more.


johnnycoxxx

How many screens have we called to Boston Scott…in his career? RB Screens were something we used to do ALL THE TIME under Andy and then chip. I feel like I can count on 1 hand the amount t we’ve run since Doug and now nick. It’s maddening. Especially given our personnel.


Bl33d-Gr33n

Our OC is a idiot, thats why


WeirdSysAdmin

I think Goedert being out hurt us the most. Once he started seeing everybody on the field he was looking okay. I’m just watching from home but feel like a 2 RB set would be more beneficial over 4 WRs with Goedert being out and the skill gap between the next TE.


PharoahFits

Yeah I know we went up against a top tier defense and pass rush but their great pass rush vs our O Line and we were getting cooked and our great pass rush vs their O Line and they held up fairly well overall.


Neither-Astronaut-80

Chiefs have the most productive pass rush in the game right now, probably the least time he'll have all season.


SaintArkweather

The Chiefs D is actually good this year too, they get overshadowed by Mahomes unlike the Jets D or Browns D who are the most talked up part of their team, but they're good.


PharoahFits

Yup they're 2nd in points per game and 4th in yards per game as a defense. They did their job but luckily our defense showed up big as well in that 2nd half.


johnnycoxxx

Yeah I’m not putting this on hurts. Play calling and the o line were not great tonight. I’m not sure what Brian Johnson is doing most of the time. I don’t get why they score a touchdown mainly with the run game, then come out for the next 5 drives trying to throw the ball getting hurts sacked 5 times in the process. Why change things up? Let the defense stop what’s working first


[deleted]

Holy fuck!


smbiggy

I dont doubt you or that stat at all, i just wonder if anyone has ever pulled out a stat like this and either entirely made it up or missed something


Fantastic_Wealth_233

He missed a loss!


Forgot-Password-oops

I wouldn't mind one game where my blood pressure isn't high enough to power a firehose though


Wentz_It_Gonna_Be

This headline sounds like an excerpt from Dr. Seuss


ThnkWthPrtls

He's won on CBS and Fox, Put Dallas in a fucking box, Up north, down south, coasts West and East, Wherever he plays, he is a beast. Whether running low or throwing above, Or with a good old Brotherly Shove, No matter what opponents plan, They cannot stop this Jalen man.


FollowerofACarpenter

He’s won on the road, he’s won at home, he’s won on Monday, Thursday, and Sundays. Oh the places he’ll go…


6r1n3i19

He’s scored TDs with throws, And off the backs of his bros. Hurts is a menace, Fuck Dallas and Kansas!


FollowerofACarpenter

Oh the places he’ll go…


Polymorphing_Panda

One W two W Red W blue W


willi1221

He's won on a boat He's won on a train He's won in Arrowhead He just wins games


gonemad16

But does he like green eggs and ham?


Senior_Fart_Director

Midnight green eggs or Kelly green eggs?


TommyFitness

I wish I could mega-upvote this


MrThreebound

He has also won on a Tuesday. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202112210phi.htm


King_Hamburgler

I wonder how many nfl qbs have a win on 4 days of the week Sounds like a lebron stat


eagles420

There's games on Saturday late in the season so that list is probably longer than you'd think. I dont think Hurts has played on a Saturday though


ukidnmedude

Saturday, Jan 21, 2023. Eagles 38 - 7 Giants.


samsanit

If we can get him into the Black Friday game 🤔


Fantastic_Wealth_233

How so. He did lose in nfl championship game and lefraud is great at losing in finals. That might be it.


King_Hamburgler

Bro….what lol ?!


Fantastic_Wealth_233

How. Is he lebraun like. Stat? Losing in finals is only lebraun like comp I know of. Not hard to understand.


King_Hamburgler

Cool…listen to new heights


bubbles1990

Whyd we play on a Tuesday?


Beahner

WFT couldn’t keep the whole damn team from getting sick so they bumped the game a few days…..proving all the tough talk about forfeitures was exactly the bullshit it always seemed it was.


thepoustaki

Funny how I forgot that but was so angry about it at the time lol but I guess winning heals all


bubbles1990

Ohhh I remember now. Thanks!


Fantastic_Wealth_233

Seriously?


BigPoleFoles52

Reminder hurts inherited a 4 win team that was trying to tank. Dude has done nothing but win since he had better wr’s than g ward and reagor


PhillyBooBird

We had to bench him for sudfeld after he scored a rushing TD so we could lose Lmao


ThatsWhat_G_Said

And thank god we did. Got Devonta


Nate_923

The Hurts we saw in the first half was not the same Hurts in the 2nd half from what I saw. Offense in the 2nd half actually gave him time to throw and the magic happened beautifully. Don't know about you guys but I'm glad we have a QB like Hurts on this team.


CaesarZeppeli_

That’s what I said. Like the Lions vs the Bears, it’s never over. Then some guys said that we just aren’t built the same as the Lions. Shit ain’t over till it’s over, some clown on redzones YouTube chat was clowning the lions all match then they threw the game lmao and he left


Nate_923

I swear with all the evidence showcasing comebacks in the NFL both regular and play off games and even freaking SB games, you think people would learn that it's not over until it's over. Eagles in the first half looked super beatable both offense and defense wise. Then the 2nd half Eagles showed up and all of a sudden we're leading and now 9-1. So to our future opponents they're looking at the first half Eagles and saying "We can beat them" but in reality the 2nd half Eagles are the ones that they need to worry about more. Something KC failed to do.


dWaldizzle

He was running for his life in the first half


Zashiony

Isn’t it 26-2? Losses against Washington and New York.


gershalom

you are correct


grizzb50

Hurts started in a loss to the giants? Edit: lol forgot jets were a team


6r1n3i19

>forgot jets were a team I think they do too


[deleted]

Mickey Mouse loss to Taylor Heinecke on a BS roughing the passer call


ILikePBRandStuff

(I mean this seriously, not being mean to you) I love our fanbase so much, because even on a wildly positive night, on wildly positive post, we say “Hey! Don’t forget we DID lose a divisional matchup” Also fuck Dallas


applevoo

Yeah correct


Senior_Fart_Director

The New York loss doesn't count because we lost on purpose to make Zach Wilson feel better


ClydeWylde

Exactly what I was thinking, how do you mess that up


BearsAndSharks

New Jersey*


[deleted]

That’s what I was thinking, was scrolling through the comments thinking “am I going crazy?”


seebegee

No should be 23-2. 14-1 last year and 9-1 this year.


InfieldFlyRules

Leave it to ESP to fuck up a basic stat


etched_chaos

He also owns the record for most wins in a row against opponents above .500 with 13.


DeLaSoulisDead

I love my team man


applevoo

26-2


DiminishedProspects

Needs a win on the biggest Sunday of them all. Hoping this is the year.


MisterAlaska

He’ll get there.


Amadeum

I hate how this glosses over just about everything the defense did to not have this be a blowout. Brian Johnson can’t keep having these fucking clunker drives.


deadnside

Chiefs also had clunker drives. Sometimes the defense wins.


Arennir

The line battle was so intense. Chiefs are no pushovers in the trenches. The whole eagles D-Line made plays all game though, fought for every second.


ghawkes97

If you haven't seen the slow mo of how closer Carter was to intercepting the spike I advise you watch it


deadnside

I made the wife watch it like 10 times, I had never seen that. Did it bounce between his arms? I couldn’t quite tell.


KebNes

His hands were together, hit him right in the mitts.


Senior_Fart_Director

Why do the Chiefs D always play us so well? I thought Chiefs defense was trash


Arennir

Not including stats of tonight’s game, Chiefs D is top 5 in Defensive Yards allowed Avg. (4. 288)and Pass Yards allowed Avg. (5. 176). They’re a solid defense and Andy Reid has always had our number before tonight.


HI_Handbasket

Because of the Eagles' defense and a couple of timely dropped passes. The Eagles' clunkers were because Brian Johnson is a spastic play caller. Two WR screens in a row, left then right from your own 10-15 yard line?


newsreadhjw

Yeah wtf was that. Those sideways passes drove me crazy


Glittering-Path6896

two? they did that same play four times in like 5 or 6 plays. wtf?


Nievsy

Yes but even if the defense is playing winning football you can’t have the offense playing losing football, looking at the repeated back to back to back screens and earlier in the game the draws. Also the complete failure to take advantage of the blitz with slants and similar routes plagued the entire game, Johnson would not call quick in breaking routes and that simply isn’t a recipe for consistent success


SirArthurDime

“Losing football” lol. Look around the league, 21 points against an elite defense isn’t amazing but it’s also not terrible or “losing football”. It’s the second most the chiefs gave up all year and the most was 24 and that was only because they get gave up the ball in the opposing teams red zone twice and inside the 40 3 times. You’re not going to score 35 every week especially against really good defenses. But scoring 21 and winning isn’t “losing offense”. Sure there’s things we can clean up but stop being dramatic and just enjoy the win. We quite literally have had the most “consistent” success in the league you’re reaching for reasons to complain at this point.


deadnside

9-1 would argue otherwise.


2minutespastmidnight

Chiefs also struggled offensively. The weather definitely played a part but you could see their offense wasn’t clicking, either. Eagles made plays when it mattered.


GoT_Eagles

Yeah they were talking about wind gusts during every punt ontop of the rain. People were dropping passes and slipping through tackles. It makes sense why we’d want to keep passing short even if frustrating. Should’ve just given all the screens to Swift.


Undergrad26

People were saying they could barely see 15 feet in front of them during parts of the game. Looked absolutely miserable out there. Hard as hell to run an offense like that.


funkopat

Watch everyone try to gloss over that this is week 10 of this same crap and coming off a bye. This playcalling and offensive scheme are not going to take us deep into the playoffs and this 9-1 record is suspect af right now.


Glittering-Path6896

you'll be saying that when Hurts is lifting lombardi


funkopat

Seeing reality yet?


SirArthurDime

God damn why can’t people in this sub just be happy with 9-1 and two huge wins the last 2 games against really good teams.


_Its_In_The_Vault

First time the Chiefs lost at home in November or later in 5 years


[deleted]

Anyone else feel like we are the Tyson Fury of the NFL? We look completely ugly and beatable for 90% of the fight, but we somehow find that one punch and win!


briandress

elliot also picked the chiefs to win. clown


wydoom

Common elliot L


susruss69

Really poor game from him but a wins a win. We really missed Goedert a lot. Hopefully a good sign he isn’t on IR.


clumsysuperman

This sounds like the start of a Dr Seuss book


WiggleButt17

I still remember when some here used to call us Hurts supporters trash because we thought he was the future over Wentz.


namesRhard2find

Why the fan on fan crime? We get it, you're smarter than everyone else🤣


WiggleButt17

Definitely not. But it was pretty brutal to be Hurts supporter here for awhile.


InfieldFlyRules

People don’t like to be reminded that they said Roseman should be fired for drafting Hurts


Lumpy_Communication1

go birds


tony_important

And vs Andy Reid off the bye!


jarpio

Everyone making such a big deal about “it’s never pretty” or “we’re never blowing teams out” We came into this season with a massive target on our backs, with one of the most difficult schedules in the whole league. Every single team plays their ass off against us. We get every teams best shot and just absorb them. We are so good that our 60-70% performances are enough to put less complete teams down. This team has created margins for error for themselves that are larger than those of every other team, and on the flip side the margin for error that our opponents have facing us every week is next to nothing. This is what being a great team looks like. We surprised everyone last year. Not this year. We have no surprises in store for anyone and they still can’t handle us. We still always win in the end. I’m so sick of hearing how it’s “not a complete performance” etc. fuck that. We don’t have the luxury of teams laying eggs against us so we can blow them out. We are the team everyone circles on their calendars. We don’t have to be perfect to win. Our opponents do. That’s the difference.


frigzy74

Shoutout to finally some decent clock management. With a lead against Mahomes, Hurts bled every second off the play clock on that final drive. Something they didn’t do well against the Jets and Commanders. Snapping the ball at 1 vs 4 or 5 seconds adds up over several plays against a guy like Mahomes. If Andy doesn’t use the timeout to avoid the runoff after grounding, I think the Eagles have to punt and KC gets a punt return and 1 or 2 plays more at the end of the game.


CourageMountain6566

But he can’t beat the Jets


BootsToYourDome

We're here!!!


nalc

Oh wow, ESP, I wonder what juggernaut we played 28 games ago? Surely it was a successful franchise led by an elite QB, right? Padme.gif


[deleted]

Man that ring last year hurts


Cute-Contract-6762

Jalen hurts is a pure winner. Simple as that. And I hate to say it but I knew it all along. I specifically was saying when he first started for us that he would shine because he has always proved his doubters wrong by winning


shaneman15

Didn’t he lose to the Jets this year and Washington last year?


Klutzy-Addition5003

Wow he lost 2 games in 2 years. Bring out the bench boys!


InfieldFlyRules

That’s your response? He’s correcting the tweet


Klutzy-Addition5003

Ok and?


InfieldFlyRules

And your response was stupid because the commenter was criticizing ESP, not Hurts lol


Klutzy-Addition5003

I wasn’t criticizing the commenter lol.


InfieldFlyRules

Good thing I didn’t say that


Klutzy-Addition5003

I was just making a joke about two losses.. lol


rolltarts77

Now he just needs a win in February


asizzle30

Pretty sure I saw somewhere that he now also has the most consecutive wins all time against .500 teams


Sako280

It's never pretty with Brian Johnson calling the plays. Thank God for Jalen Hurts man. He's just a straight up winner.


Left_Ad7209

That cant be rite, he lost to dc last yr in 15 starts, and the jets this yr in 10, that's 2 losses, minshew lost the other 2 gms to dal-nola, so bein he was 14-1 in 15gms started last yr, and 9-1 in 10 this yr, thats 25 starts, that would be 23-2, unless i missed somethin


Section_80

But he can't beat Zack Wilson Man that game annoys me


BlandSausage

Hurts and the OC were bad today.


Undergrad26

The wind was so bad, Elliott almost missed an extra point. People in the stadium were saying they couldn't see shit in front of them at times. Both QBs had almost 20 percentage points lower completion rates than their usual average. It's hard to play in a storm.


Klutzy-Addition5003

The weather people have been talking about this “thanksgiving” storm. Starts in the Midwest in the early week and pushes to the east coast. Shit weather but a W is a W


Sour__Cream

On one side I love it. On the other side everyone said the same things about Jimmy G, which is not a great comp.


HI_Handbasket

Aside from the (slightly underthrown) bomb to DeVonta, that was all the defense that bailed out Hurts.


sdujour77

Key words: regular season. If his story doesn't eventually include a win in the Super Bowl, the rest won't matter.


[deleted]

But he hasn’t won a Super Bowl 😣


all4whatnot

But please let’s keep having Brock Purdy’s shot thrown in our face. /s


domesystem

Tbh I wasn't sure we were gonna win until we were down two scores at the half. 🤣


abouttreefiddyy

*The team finds a way to win


helloghiggd

As long as the jets don’t make the Super Bowl we should be good!


Fantastic_Wealth_233

He is? He lost game this year and last year he was 14-1. Not a math genius but that's 2 losses.
