Philly should’ve never had it this close to lose

They made the Super Bowl by beating a team that shouldn’t have been in the playoffs in the first place and a team that didn’t have a QB. Not exactly a stellar resume.

“I don’t know if I ever made a halftime adjustment during my entire 18-year career. I think that’s the biggest myth in football, the halftime adjustments, right? You go in, you use the restroom, you eat a couple of oranges, then the head coach says, ‘All right, let’s go!'” - Peyton Manning

The Super Bowl might be a tad different because halftime is closer to 40 minutes than the normal 12 minute halftime.

Might be. But Peyton Manning played in 4 of those so it would still fall under his statement.

Yeah the committee should not have let them in

Or the Chiefs should have just shot up Mahomes' ankle before the game.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — In the NFL, there is no greater myth than halftime adjustments, according to Peyton Manning. The legendary quarterback has made it clear that players have just enough time to sit and sip some water before they have to get back out on the field.

But there's one exception: the Super Bowl.

Halftime in the Super Bowl is 29 minutes — more than double the 13-minute halftime in the regular season. That gives each team a real chance to control their emotions and make schematic adjustments.

That's, in part, how the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII 38-35 over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

So an article written by someone outside the locker room saying adjustments were made, but not going into what those adjustments were.

The bulk of the article was about pep talks and snacking.

The part that actually talks about adjustments is, in fact, the offensive coordinator pointing out that the Eagles were doing what they had prepped for them to do.

"Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy was able to show the players what had beaten them in the first half — and it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. They'd prepared for what they were seeing. "[The Eagles] gave us a few different — not so much different — but they gave us some blitzes. They played the same type of coverages. We just weren't executing like we needed to."

I need to see a "film study" of that play they burned Philly on three times (2TDs and the hold)

There’s probably some misunderstanding here. The players aren’t making the adjustments. The coordinators are probably making adjustments to their playcalling and/or digging deeper into the plays they’ve designed for the game.
