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
