Reply to comment by GrandArchitect in [OC] The Eagles are the most proficient pass-rushing team to go without a sack in the Super Bowl (chart) by JPAnalyst

In your years of watching, have you ever seen a team not trying to sack a quarterback because he is hobbled by an injury?

The Bengals knew he was injured in the AFC championship and they hit him 5 times and he was sacked three times. If the Eagles did what you said, it would be malpractice and the coaches would need to be fired and the players cut. They didn’t get shut out of sacks because of rules changes that happened years ago and they were afraid to hit the QB...in the Super Bowl, no less.

Mahomes (and the Chiefs) are third best in the league at avoiding sacks per his sack rate. He moves well in the pocket, he gets rid of the ball quick. This is a factor.

To me, it really didn't look like they were trying, after watching the entire season, it looks like the defense was told "don't hit Mahomes"

Then Sirianni should be fired. Shame on the Eagles. They deserve to lose. If that’s the case.

The guy that tackled Mahomes by his injured ankle in the 2nd quarter, didn’t get the memo?

I thought he was gonna get called. Mahomes really tried to sell it.

This is what I am talking about...

You’re extremely biased and looking for something. And the fact that he didnt get called literally proves your conspiracy theory wrong.

You should go into the NFL sub with these comments, they’d kill you. I’m being nice.

Are you an Eagles fan?
