I'm 33 and thought it was a trash half time show. I get why it was cool . But I don't have a lot of interest in a dude kicking a dude he already beat in live TV for 30 minutes.

At first I thought it was a forgettable halftime show - I didnt like it. Then, a friend of mine explained the nuanced meaning in many things in the show - Samuel L Jackson and what he said, Serena Williams presence and the dance, choice of song, and lyrics. I didnt get it till it was explained to me. Hip-hop is not my thing. However, now that I know a liitle bit more, I will go back and watch it again.

Full thread. Looks like it was Thune (converted guard to LT) and Caliendo (replacement LG) who were the main culprits, and Kelce next most guilty. Creed Humphrey (first team all-pro) didn't look so hot either. Not very effective in picking up the delayed twists and stunts, looks like he was trying to pick up blitzers but none came, and was late in getting seals off.

Eagles used to have Jason Kelce call out shifts and adjustments from the line but teams with big brain QBs like the Chiefs have the QB take that responsibility. Eagles this year gave Hurts the responsibility with Kelce retiring. Either way, I'd say 50% of this is on Mahomes and Nagy for not being able to get their o-line sorted on protection, and 50% of it is just the Eagles front 4 are just unblockable even with 5 offensive linement + TE (kelce was never known for his blocking) + RBs. You have 6-7 guys back there blocking 4.

And their LB and corners are good enough to take away the intermediate routes and hot routes that Mahomes didn't even have time to throw hot.

I've read up on the nuances.

All black performers. "The revolution will not be televised" is a Gil Scott Heron call for social justice . "The wrong guy" refers to Trump. A flag split in half represented a divided country under this administration.

Interesting...
Bye bye Beal.
