What I liked most about the game was the Eagles mentality the entire time. I'm hoping that some of that comes with Kellen Moore to New Orleans. Something that the Saints have sorely missed when Payton left, was the killer instinct the Eagles displayed. The Eagles seemingly knew that they couldn't win a close game against the Chiefs. Indeed the entire season had shown that if you leave the game close enough for the refs to help them, the refs will help them.
I don’t see the former Saints regime throwing a bomb up 27 points. Despite knowing a close game would favor the Chiefs, the Saints would've fully retreated and played prevent for 2.5 quarters. The Eagles did not let off the gas and that's why they won. Even with a dominating defense, they continued to play their game. Too many coaches focus on losing instead of winning. By that, I mean once they have the game in hand, they start thinking about playing not to lose instead of continuing to play to win. No feeling sorry for scoring points. No trying to run out the clock and play defense, they kept playing their game until even the referees couldn't doubt the outcome.
So not Schaudenfraude as much as watching a coaching staff that knew what they had to do, what everyone knew that they had to do, execute decisively. I remember when that was the Saints. If Kellen Moore can do that again, it will be a welcome change to the disaster that was the last 3 years.
