That slick field neutralized the Eagles advantage on the front lines.

Unfortunate because I thought that dominating the trenches was how they were going to win.

No excuse for that defensive performance in the second half. What did Gannon adjust during that extra long halftime? It was obvious the field was a problem for our pass rush.

Big game in the world. Love to hear the NFL’s thought process for approving those conditions. Aside from inclement weather, that had to be the worse conditioned field in 2023.

I would also like to know what the NFL was thinking. I'm not a conspiracy guy. Both sacks between teams that combined for 125 in the regular season were plays on which Hurts ran out of bounds a few inches behind the LOS. That's lame.

How do you screw up the field prep for the biggest game of year? SMFH. I have a feeling I'll be in Vegas this time next year.

Didn’t the announcers mention that the Chiefs had complained about the field earlier in the season?

With the Eagles DL and OL, and with Mahomes and his sprain, a quality field favored the Eagles.

eheeeeem

I agree

The story from the game would have focused on the field conditions if Mahomes had slipped on the field and impacted his play.
Similarly, if the opposite situation had occurred, and the Eagles had the ball with a marginal penalty that decided the game in the Eagles favor, I believe the discussion around officiating would be a lot louder and rule changes would probably be discussed.
While I think if the Eagles won that way, many Eagles fans would have been happy, such an ugly win would be less satisfying. Regardless, the Eagles didn't make enough plays to win.
