00:00Oh
00:01Boy, I wanted to go to bed at halftime
00:03Apologies to the guy that wanted to watch paint dry you won you were right that was not a fun Super Bowl still better than
00:09Watch it paint right
00:11All day slightly all depends how you're doing it
00:15How you're watching the paint dry or you or the game if you do appetizers while you watch that paint, right?
00:20Yeah, I guess you could do that, but that game was it was I mean the jean pick six really flipped it
00:25We'd seen my home's come back down ten and a couple Super Bowl a couple big playoff games and Super Bowls
00:301724 it was 34 nothing at one point. This is one of the worst Super Bowls in terms of competitiveness. We've ever seen
00:37You're 100% correct
00:39but it was still football and
00:41It was it was not that exciting
00:44No
00:44It really wasn't and it whether it was the the lead-up to the game the build-up you finally maybe you you were able to
00:51muster
00:53Some excitement to watch the game and you got over the whole Lions hangover and then you
00:59Watched it and then and that's what you saw
01:02I I mean it was early checkout for a lot of people before the game even started
01:07They did like they ran out of the tunnel and they go. Well, this is a pretty big Philly crowd
01:12Pro, Philadelphia crowd and I'm thinking huh?
01:15I'm gonna check what prices were for this game and right before kickoff you could get tickets for under two grand apiece
01:22Now keep in mind when the Lions were in the thick of it
01:25We were telling people hey if you can get them for five or six grand
01:28You might be getting a good deal. It made me realize and it was just one of those
01:31Yeah, painful reminders that would have been a home game for the Lions this fan base that traveled knowing that Chiefs fans
01:38Weren't buying up tickets that would have been like an 80 20 90 10
01:43Honolulu blue party in the Big Easy and I know they didn't earn their way there
01:47It's just it it hits you when you see it on TV in front of you
01:51Yeah, and I was a little bit surprised not just at the I guess I wasn't surprised about the fan base because it I mean
01:59Year after year if you're gonna be in the Super Bowl, it does get expensive and they've been at the Super Bowl a lot
02:06thankfully for their fans, they've hosted most playoff games, but
02:10It I was a little bit surprised at the lack of emotions. The chief took the field with I think that was my biggest
02:18Shock was I don't know if they felt like hey, we're
02:22We've got Patrick Mahomes. We're just gonna roll the ball out or are we going to learn?
02:30Down the road and I'm maybe maybe in a month maybe six months
02:33Maybe a couple of years, but there was something else going on behind the scenes
02:37It felt it just felt like they weren't a hundred percent
02:42Invested and I'm not I'm not gonna sit here and say there's any conspiracy. I have no idea
02:46I'm not gonna throw any darts. It just felt like they were not
02:51invested in that game
02:53But they've started slowing all these Super Bowls. Yeah
02:56Ten point dogs and they've come back to win
02:58Yeah, the problem is they just couldn't protect but I don't think my home is very good even within the confines of the pressure
03:05He didn't step up. He made a couple terrible throws for interceptions. And yeah, Philly didn't blitz a single time in the game
03:13Well, and I mean, I'll even go back to Chris Fullard dissing the offensive line by not including Trevor Keegan, but
03:20The two the two Super Bowl losses that Patrick Mahomes has had what has been the common denominator?
03:25Yep, offensive line play what I say on Friday
03:27And I think this offensive line could hold up and they certainly did not it was I mean the back-to-back sacks
03:34I get at first in the first quarter when that happened. I thought is this really happening? Like I thought it was gonna be
03:42Advantage Philly, but not to that extent
03:46How about this to you come out of half and they Hopkins drops the ball before halftime?
03:50Maybe get some in field goal range, but you have halftime to go. Okay, we're down 24 nothing
03:55We still have Mahomes got 15
03:56Let's let's John you been in the locker room for halftime and you try to tighten some things up
04:00Mahomes got sacked twice on the opening drive out of the half you go. What do you guys talk about?
04:05Yeah, there's no answer is what that meant. Well, I mean it was it was simply mano-a-mano. That's exactly what it was
04:11That was we're our bad asses are better than the guys that you think are bad asses and we're gonna go one-on-one
04:17We're not gonna blitz. It's all about how many times have I mentioned the matchups and whether it's when Hutch was healthy
04:24The matchup that he had with the offensive tackles a lean McNeil the matchup that he has had with guards or centers
04:31It really comes to football is a game of matchups
04:34And if you win those matchups, you're gonna win the game that was it sometimes it's matchups, you know
04:39Hey offensive line, including the tight ends and running backs versus the front seven
04:43This was simply five on four and the four that Philly had up front
04:49Defeated the five that Kansas City had up front. That was the deciding factor of the game
04:54Snowballed quickly got out of hand quickly. And yeah, I mean if you fell asleep early, you didn't miss anything
05:00I mean, yeah, the Chiefs scored a couple late touchdowns to make it look close even though they screwed those touchdowns
05:05It was all all in vain
05:07We are gonna react and overreact some of the storylines coming up at 702 including the homes and the goat conversation
05:14We'll talk halftime show during the show today because well, it was polarizing some people really liked it
05:19Some people didn't like it at all. One member of the show thinks the commercials were the best they've been in years
05:24We'll get to that coming up at 6
05:2618 John the game itself Jalen Hurts wins
05:32Although Heather doesn't know who it is on the show. Yeah, she's she's pointing fingers
05:36Commercials, that's the look that yeah, that's the look you just gave us. It's spoiler. It's not Heather someone else
05:44John what did you make a Jalen Hurts in that game? Because without Saquon Barkley running the ball
05:48I thought he had one of those coming-out parties
05:50Jalen Hurts certainly he did his composure in the game now and and here's where I thought Jalen Hurts
05:58really
05:59grew up
06:00They come out and it's they punt on the first possession, okay both they trade punts Jalen Hurts
06:09orchestrates a seven play 69-yard drive
06:13Defense forces another punt they get the ball back and it's 11 place 50 yards. You think hey, they're going in to score
06:18It's gonna be 14 nothing and this is like this is the coming-out party for the Eagles ended up being that way
06:25but the interception that he threw under pressure and
06:29I thought up here we go. Yeah, Jalen Hurts, then they came back
06:33It was seven plays and it wasn't nothing magical, but he didn't make the mistake again
06:40He didn't have that moment of panic where he thought I'm gonna have to do more than I'm expected to do
06:47He just went out there made the plays that were there to be made and he made some adjustments at the line of scrimmage
06:53By throwing the ball to AJ Brown different times
06:56I just thought it was I'm curious as to AJ Brown and Nick Sirianni
07:01Did you see him coming off the field that one time right before? Oh, yeah, he was he was yelling at I
07:06Think it was it might even been on that wasn't the interception. It was it was in the first half
07:10Anyway, he was coming off and he was he was jawing at Nick Sirianni about something about you know
07:15Give me the ball and then you know, it was the possession before he scored his touchdown. So
07:21But I really felt like Jalen Hurts
07:24That I mean he would obviously MVP he was the reason
07:29That they won that game offensively because he could have gone in the tank. That was a moment where oh, no
07:35The Chiefs defense the Spagnola could have turned up the heat the fire and forced more turnovers
07:41But Jalen Hurts didn't allow that to happen
07:43Yeah, that was a critical juncture because they finally got pressure when he threw that pick
07:46Yeah, it was interior pressure nothing really a quarterback can do but you got to eat it or throw it away and instead he put
07:51It in harm's way and instead of spiraling. He settled in finished with three touchdowns almost 300 yards
07:57Really? He was the best quarterback on the field
07:59When and you could argue he may have been better than Mahomes the first time they played
08:03They went toe-to-toe and Mahomes just got the ball last Hurts has played well in both Super Bowls
08:07And as he said after the game can't rewrite history, but you can even the score he gets his first Super Bowl win
