00:00When you have two weeks to get prepared for opponent and the other team has six days,
00:03that's not fair. And that's where you should have the coaching advantage. Now, Andy Reid,
00:06one of the best all-time at actually using that advantage to his advantage and pummeling the other
00:11teams. But understand this, the Eagles also have that same break. They're looking at the same tape
00:16at this point. And it's not one of those like, ah, he's from the Super Bowl every year. The
00:19Eagles last made it in 1980. They have no idea what they're going to do this week. Nick Cerrone
00:22has already been to a Super Bowl, understands, hey, what worked well in the Super Bowl two years
00:26ago, what do we have to change and what are some of the tweaks we can make? So for me,
00:29is it a big deal? Andy Reid has a break. Yes, it is. But it's countered by the other team also
00:34has the two-week break. Yeah, I think when we're just looking at head coaches in the matchup today,
00:39Kev, I think you give the edge to Andy Reid based off of the record and, you know, the resume,
00:44the Super Bowls, right? But outside of that, Syriani went into Arrowhead last year and beat
00:50him 21-17 with a less explosive type of team. Certainly, Saquon Barkley was not the running
00:56back. It was DeAndre Swift, a different type of team. Now, styles make fights. I always say that.
01:01I don't think there's a significant advantage of Reid over Syriani in this game at all. I think
01:09it's when you look at it, they're evenly matched from head coaches down to the coordinators. This
01:14is going to be an intriguing battle. It's even. That's why you see the one, one and a half, you
01:19know, number today. Again, I don't think Andy Reid has a significant advantage over Syriani and the
01:25coaching staff for Philadelphia in any capacity. The Super Bowl is a Super Bowl, but you just
01:30brought up something that, again, you're trying to keep your ear to the ground. What are people
01:34saying? What's going on under the radar, right? Like, we're going to talk Vic Fangio, but again,
01:37the Vic Fangio 0-10 stuff's not going under the radar. Everybody knows that. You know who knows
01:41that Vic Fangio? You know what no one talks about? The game that they played last year.
01:45You know who was off a bye? Both teams. So, again, I'm just saying, like, nobody can touch
01:52him off a bye. Interesting, because, because bad head coach Nick Syriani walked into our head,
01:57came away with a victory. Look, I'm getting hot again, but this is, I don't know, four seasons,
02:03never under 500, never missed the playoffs, never lost a home playoff game, two trips to the Super
02:09Bowl, best active win percentage in the entire league. I don't know. Sounds pretty darn amazing
02:14to me. Should we keep hyping up Kevin O'Connell? Huh? I tell you, if Syriani was coaching against
02:20a guy like Sean McVay, what would he do? Beat him? Twice? Because that's what happened this year.
02:25I'm just asking, what would he do against an offensive mastermind like Dan Quinn? Smoke him?
02:31Give him 55 of those things? I'm just asking, Joe. When are people going to figure it out?
02:36I mean, I'm waiting for you to figure it out. The Italian disrespect from the family.
02:41I'm seeing it. He wears the patch. I don't understand, Joe. Now I'm seeing red.
02:48Oh, come down. All right. All right. All right. You're crazy. Unbelievable. Well,
02:54when did I never respect Nick Syriani? What are you talking about? What are you talking about?
03:00It feels like we turn on you right now. Are you kidding? I don't know. Listen,
03:04it's us against the world. You just need somebody. I'll be your invader.
03:11The NFL title game is still a little back of my mind. Nick Syriani is a very good coach.
03:17No, that's true. He is a great coach. And he'll be put up there when and if they win today. And
03:23that's it. That's the bottom line. You talk about the resume up until this point. We talk about
03:29how hot they were heading into this game. Won 15 of the last 16 games. I mean, come on now.
03:35You talk about the one game that they got blown out was against Tampa Bay.
03:39They were significantly hindered in that game with multiple players out.
03:45They lost by one point on a two minute drill to Kirk Cousins in game number three. From that point,
03:51they've been one of the most consistent teams in the NFL. The only game they lost down the stretch,
03:56Jalen Hurts gets hurt. So I don't look at it like that. I don't look at it where Andy Reid is going
04:04to run circles around Nick Syriani. It really comes down to personnel,
04:08comes down to game plan, and which team is going to bring it and win the turnover battle.
04:13I honestly believe that. I think if you're Philadelphia, you get up, you knock them out.
04:20The way they did against the Washington Commanders, you have to take the game to the champs.
04:25You cannot allow them to hang around. They had a 10 point lead a couple of Super Bowls ago.
04:32They get up this time, they look for the knockout punch. This is the difference.
04:36This is where the maturity should come in for Nick Syriani. And you know what,
04:40he has that third bird in Saquon Barkley. When you have a player to take over the game like that,
04:45it's very easy to just say, you know what, go for the kill shot.
04:49Yeah. And when you look at the game, it looks again, just on the surface,
04:52like it should be a coaching mismatch between Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs and the
04:56Philadelphia Eagles. But as Kevin points out, when you go to the numbers, it's not,
05:00oh, Syriani never beat a top 20 team. Like if he's a college football, he beats him literally
05:03every single week and every chance he gets. And the only Super Bowl, like, hey,
05:07ran circles around, they lost by 38 to the Chiefs. No, they lost on a field goal at the
05:11end of the football game. It's great. I mean, both of these guys are rocking it now.
05:15Okay, Matt, we're breaking bread. We're breaking bread. A lot of food today,
05:20going to be at the house. A lot of food. I'll send you a couple of pictures.
05:23Not a lot of carbs. Some. I feel like today's where you get really beefed up.
05:28Most impossible. You can put some pounds on the face now. Season's over.
05:32I saw the picture that you tweeted out in New Orleans. They caught me with mouth full.
05:39Focus in on that, people. I was eating my bread sandwich, they said.
