It will hurt if that was Kelce, Cox, and Graham's last game as Eagles. Will always appreciate what they did for the team and the city.

What a nail-biter!

Congrats to KC, though. It was a hard-fought win. Eagles fans should be proud of our team's tenacity in spite of a narrow loss.

I tend to agree. Not trying to be a negative nelly. But we're surely going to lose Kelce and Johnson to retirement in the off-season. Who knows who else might be gone? The team is now going to be in rebuilding mode, so I don't see prospects for too much post-season time in the next few years.

Reid decided to call the best game of his life. Where was that playcalling when he was in Philly? Not saying he wasn't good in Philly (he obviously was) but he was really in his bag last night. Sure, Mahomes is the difference, but that second to last scoring play was all Reid. Brilliant call.

Losing to Andy is a huge slap in the face. Went from perennial choke artist in Philly to starting a new dynasty in KC.

It's like watching your ex date a billionaire

Losing by a field goal.

Personally, I'd rather lose by 20 in a playoff game than by a last second FG in Super Bowl that was set up by an iffy call. Spare me the heartache and frustration.

Reid was great at gameplanning in Philly. Where he faltered was with the in-game management like the clock and timeouts, but he always had the team prepared to a tee for the opponent they were playing ad had the right plays on the playsheet for the game. He seems to have learned the in-game management over the years.

Yeah that call was pretty gut-wrenching. I am not one to instantly blame a referee, but they should have just let it play out given the circumstances.

But yeah, we still had a great season. It was a fun time to be a Philadelphian, even if Sunday was disappointing.

I was lucky to be up in the Philly area for a few days before the game and during the game. The excitement in the air was palpable. Living down in basketball land for the last 10 years, I am so happy I got to be among "my people" during the big game. People on the street were smiling and friendly to one another. It was lively and fun. Loved seeing the merch. out on the streets and the green decor everywhere - even in my parents' retirement home. The game was a nail biter, and the end was a disappointment, but they had a great season. Here's to next year!

Default Dying in the Red Zone

Week after Week I note the Eagles wing their way down the field then something goes flocking wrong. Out comes one of the best high flying field goal kicker and we place 3 points in our nest. mmm!! BE HAPPY? Not!!! What is it? Week after week we see less feathery friends pass to either side of end zone and score. I remember years of this problem. Remember being on 2 or 3 yard line. 4 straight unsuccessful runs. Don't get me.wrong I remember the Philly Philly but why can't we be this innovative every try. We are looking predictable. Do you remember that Windex Commercial where the bird is flying and window is so clear he smashes into it and falls to earth. Is that to be our fate in the red zone. Well team is doing well and i am sure our best will figure it out. I hope. Go Eagles!!!! E A G L E S.
