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.
