yeah, I certainly don't want to make it sound like cover 1 is the solution for Mahomes.
It isn't. He's good against various types of coverages. Coming into the season, the thought was to defend him by limiting explosive plays and keep every thing underneath. But then he solved that throughout the year, especially with Kelce.
Main point was.. the way to stop him and virtually any top QB, just comes down to pressure from the front 4. Can't do that, doesn't matter what coverage is in the back so much.
pressure is the key--Eagles didn't get it and yes, this year Cover-1 was the better way or 2-man . . .and yes, last year the "Fangio way" worked but as you say he solved it.
Eagles pass rush--IMO it was partially ineffective because of the field---edge rushers kept falling down
