The absolute embarrassment the Chiefs were subjected to... is the end of the their dominance? Of course they have a ton of talent and will win and maybe get back the Super Bowl this game really exposed them.

Its one thing to lose to a great team like the Eagles. Its another to be destroyed so fully. When I think about this game its not just on one person. Its coaching and players. I'm just wondering about the impact on the league watching this. Anyone who has played sports knows that a ton of it is mental. Teams can defeat themselves mentally. Does this defeat tell the league, yeah they aren't that good.

What do you think?

Edit: When I say "done", I mean the dynasty. I don't mean they are gonna have a losing record next year.

No, sadly they are not done.

They had a disastrous game. I hope they don’t make next year’s Super Bowl because they might be unbeatable.

I agree. The "template" provided by the Eagles was to have a dominant four man pass rush, combined with really sticky zone coverage. Well, that's a lot easier said than done.

Most teams don't have the personnel for a dominant four man pass rush. Even fewer have the injury luck to still have it in the Super Bowl.

If the Chiefs make some upgrades to their line and get a little luckier with their opponent, they'll still be contending.

49ers had a similar approach last Super Bowl. Difference was Eagles DLine was better and deeper. Greenlaw got hurt for the 49ers and then the Chiefs started feasting. The Eagles got turnovers that led to 3 TDs. 49ers only got a FG off the INT Mahomes threw and the Chiefs fumbled 6 times but 49ers only recovered once. Recover a couple more of those fumbles and Greenlaw stays healthy and the game is probably not close in the 4th Q.

Eagles have Jalen Carter, no one else does

Fangio is a better DC than Wilks etc

Fangio is great. He was 0-8 against Mahomes. I think the 49ers are only 0-6 so there is hope. Haha

Why?

I don’t expect the Chiefs to play that poorly in the Super Bowl the next time they go. They will have something to prove.

40-6 is what happens when the refs let the fellas play ball. It’s kinda like what happens to Dems when the media aren’t in their corner

2 years ago, Eagles had zero sacks and they passed more than they ran.

This year was different because of Jalen Carter, Saquon and 2 different coordinators

Fangio > Gannon Moore > Steichen

I am familiar with both Moore and Steichen, both are former Chargers OC

I was shock to see them lost. I thought Taylor Swift didn't show up at the game or something.

Super Bowl hangover is real. Their last Super Bowl loss was 4 years ago in Tampa. Following season they still made AFC title game and lost in OT to Cincinnati.

Of course the 2017 patriots lost the the big game and won another super bowl in 2018 but they are outliers.

Chiefs got exposed. This is the end of their dynasty with their great blocking TE Travis Kelce

I think you will see them trade someone likely off defense for 1st or 2nd round picks. They need to restock the o line as that is what crushed them. They have an emerging crazy WR in Worthy and obviously Mahomes is fine.

An obvious target to shop that would get you the firsts and seconds is Chris Jones. Trade him and take someone like Mack who wants to contend for a title and a couple other vets to plug gaps and keep it going. It’s what New England did
