We could have very well saved ourselves an embarassing Super Bowl performance. Eagles could very well blow out the Chiefs as they have everyone this year.

I think we'll regroup well. Get healthy in the secondary. Hopefully Dax Hill learns from his mistakes this year and we can hold onto Bates one more year.

Eagles offense is best in the league by far. They run it out of shotgun when you least expect it. They've got weapons out wide. Hurts can run it.
Then Philly's defense swarms. Great pass rush. We could have gotten eaten alive. 

That said, 9ers would have eaten against our oline as well. I've felt for awhile that the NFC takes the cake this year because of the better defenses.

Agree. Also our defense has given up big drives to elite offenses. Philly has torn up elite defenses this year. We could have saved the embarassment on defense too.
