Eagles added an extra coach to prepare for the Super Bowl - Vic Fangio:

The Eagles have gotten help from an unexpected place -- Vic Fangio signed a 2-week contract with Philly to help its offense prepare for KC's defense. Tomorrow, he'll join Miami as the Dolphins DC.

As the Eagles prepared for Super Bowl LVII, they had a little help from one of the NFL's top Xs and Os experts.

Sources say Vic Fangio, the soon-to-be Dolphins defensive coordinator, quietly signed a two-week contract with Philadelphia to assist its coaching staff as it prepares to face the Chiefs today. When his contract expires after the game, Fangio will officially join the Miami coaching staff.

As for the weeks leading up to today's game, sources say Fangio assisted the offense, not the defense. He's been involved with self-scouting and projects, helping Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen's unit as it gears up for Steve Spagnuolo's Chiefs defense.

Fangio has relationships all over the Eagles' staff -- not just with the defensive staff -- and those helped set up this arrangement. It's hard to imagine a better resource than the grizzled veteran who has seen it all.

There had been some talk of Fangio working as a consultant with Philly this season following his tenure as Broncos head coach from 2019-2021, but he opted to travel and take time away, instead.

When the regular season ended, Eagles coaches he's close with reached out to him to essentially say, "Do you want to go on this ride with us?" Fangio did, and soon afterward, he signed his contract.

Following Super Bowl LVII, he'll sign his three-year deal with the Dolphins that makes him the NFL's highest-paid coordinator, a contract that also includes an option for the fourth year.

I just hope these sorry ass refs don't have a hand in deciding this game.

With 6 seconds left to play, the Eagles could have gotten a 10-yard out pattern to get closer for a Hail Mary attempt.

The Chiefs' defenders were giving them the cushion, the Eagles should have taken it ...... 6 seconds is enough time to get 8 or 9 yards on a quick out-pattern. And if they had done that, they would have been at their own 45-yardline, which would have been close enough for a Hail Mary attempt.

Overall, the Chiefs' defense got more overall stops than did the Eagles' defense.

Plus, one of the Chiefs' defensive stops was a "double-stop", because their defense scored a touchdown in the process.

The Eagles defense forced 2 punts in the first half, and 0 punts/stops in the 2nd half.

Plus, the Chiefs scored all TD's on offense, except when they intentionally took a knee to run time off the clock for that final field goal ...... the Eagles had to twice settle for field goals.

Agreed there as well. KC's D played much better than Philly's tonight. I thought Philly's pass rush would get to Mahomes more, but they didn't.

And speaking of field-goal attempts, I'll bet that the Chiefs' kicker is breathing a huge sigh of relief right about now ...... now he missed a very makeable 42-yard attempt early in the game.
