00:00but it doesn't mean we can't ask questions about this team having 101 passing yards.

00:05Jalen Hurts averaging under five yards per completion.

00:08A.J. Brown averaging 5.4 yards per reception.

00:12What did you make of Philly's performance in Arrowhead?

00:15A solid one.

00:17They went into Arrowhead as a one-and-a-half-point road favorite

00:20and knocked out a team that had huge revenge on their mind,

00:24and it was a lower-scoring game, and I understand that now in back-to-back games,

00:28the offenses looked inconsistent, and we haven't seen the same dominance,

00:32but when push comes to shove, they got the W, right?

00:35And you can make the argument, look at the win last year against Lamar Jackson and Baltimore.

00:40That was an ugly road win, and the statistics weren't through the roof,

00:45and all they did was knock out Lamar in Baltimore.

00:47I don't take away anything other than that they are the team to beat still in the NFL,

00:54and I've said that to you time and time again, preseason, in-season.

00:58I think their odds are only going to go shorter because I think they're the most complete team.

01:02I think the offense will come around, and granted, you want to see A.J.

01:05get more than just 27 yards and 11 yards in back-to-back weeks.

01:09You want to see those wide receivers get involved.

01:12Goddard was out.

01:14Calcaterra didn't make a dent for the most part, but at the end of the day, they're going to be fine.

01:18If they were giving up 30 and 35 points in winning games the way that Cincinnati was last year,

01:25I'd say, you know what, they have major problems.

01:27Offense is putting up points, but the defense is nowhere.

01:31The defense is carrying this team.

01:33That's where they are.

01:34They are dominant in the trenches.

01:37They run the football when they have to, and they are dominant up front,

01:40and until that changes, I don't take away anything other than that.

01:44I thought they would win.

01:46I'm mad that they didn't win by double digits because they should have,

01:50and Kansas City is completely psychologically broken.

01:53I've said that.

01:54They're done.

01:54That Chris Jones comment shows that they're not just frustrated.

01:59They don't have answers, and they're looking for everything statistically.

02:02It doesn't matter.

02:03Philly didn't bring their A game, and they still whooped you in Arrowhead.

02:07I almost want to move on to the next subject.

02:09Joe, I think you've absolutely knocked it out of the park

02:11because the Chiefs, who spent all of last season winning voodoo, magic,

02:18and they will tell you it's none of that.

02:20We win on the margins because that's who we are, right?

02:22We don't make mistakes.

02:24You make mistakes.

02:25Well, now Chris Jones is trying to find small victories.

02:29Now, you didn't even throw for 100.

02:30Yeah, all right.

02:31Eat this push-push again, brother.

02:33Go for a ride, just like he did in the Super Bowl.

02:35What about his quarterback?

02:36Your quarterback didn't do anything either.

02:38So, and that's what I'm – right, so, again, sometimes I'm not –

02:41you can read between the ones.

02:42Okay, so, Chris Jones, they didn't throw for 100.

02:45You lost.

02:46Why?

02:46Offense fault?

02:47Is that what you're saying?

02:47Right.

02:47Is Chris Jones throwing tantrums in the locker room?

02:49Chris Jones is getting chewed out by Drew Tranquil in week one

02:52because he's not sticking to assignments and letting Herbert rip off a run

02:56to ice the football game.

02:57They – I think there's pressure.

03:00Oh, yeah.

03:00Mounting on this team.

03:01They don't have answers.

03:02They're old.

03:03They're old.

03:04Right, because last year, right, oh, we're riding high.

03:07Two-time, we're going to go for three-time Super Bowl, punch, punch, punch.

03:10I mean, they're still wiping off – you know, wiping blood out of their mouths

03:13how they got beat up in the Super Bowl.

03:14So then, hey, New Year, just settle in.

03:16We're all right.

03:17And you let the Chargers clip you.

03:19And you go, hey, you know what?

03:20Maybe our minds weren't in it.

03:22There's no way their minds weren't in it for this game against this team,

03:26and they didn't have the answers.

03:28So, I agree with you from Kansas City psychologically.

03:30I agree with you that Philadelphia is the team to beat.

03:33They should be the Super Bowl favorites, certainly the Green Bay,

03:35certainly the conference favorites, all of that is there.

03:37But there are real questions of why for two weeks now, watching these games,

03:43I'm wondering, is anyone open?

03:46Because it's not that Jalen Hurts doesn't have time,

03:49and it's not that Jalen Hurts is throwing copious amounts of incomplete passes.

03:55Right?

03:56Jalen Hurts, through two games, his completion percentage, Joe, is 75.6%.

04:02If it stayed that way, I'm pretty sure that would be a single-season record.

04:05But he's averaging 5.6 yards per attempt.

04:07Right.

04:08Is anyone open?

04:10Is Jalen Hurts just, overall else, I will not turn the ball over.

04:16That's important, but, brother, is someone open?

04:19Is the answer no?

04:20I would like to think someone's open.

04:22So, has A.J. Brown lost a step?

04:24Has Devon Smith lost a step?

04:26Does their new offensive coordinator not have any clue what's happening here?

04:30No, because, Joe, again, for the Eagles, right, week to week, what's the goal?

04:35Win the game.

04:36But big picture, it's win another Super Bowl,

04:38and you cannot have a quarterback completing 75% of his passes at 5.6 yards per attempt.

04:45You're right.

04:46That's crazy.

04:46No, you're right, but I expect it to change.

04:49And what did I tell you about coordinators?

04:51They have to get into a rhythm.

04:52Sure.

04:53And, again, there's a lot of pressure on Philly, defending Super Bowl champs.

04:57You come right out of the gate with an NFC East opponent.

05:00Just don't lose it.

05:01Don't make play calls that lose it.

05:02They didn't lose it.

05:03They won it.

05:04They grinded out a game.

05:05Revenge spot.

05:06Team that you just whooped in the Super Bowl.

05:08You're on the road.

05:09Just don't lose it from a play calling perspective.

05:12Yeah.

05:13Just don't lose it.

05:14They win it.

05:15Now you can relax.

05:17You got through the first two weeks.

05:18You had two critical big – you got a division win,

05:22and you got the revenge spot, and you psychologically broke the team

05:27that you've been going head-to-head with over the past three seasons.

05:29And you got the revenge spot.
