Four 100-yard games in the first 5 games.

Two in the last 11.

As Alex Smith went, so went Kareem Hunt.

That is some fairly conservative, trying to run clock plays. Offense didn't execute. They didn't get first downs. They missed a field goal.

Andy Reid Furious At Self For Poor Clock Management

At End Of 72-Oz. Steak Challenge

Originally Posted by :
KANSAS CITY, MO—Lamenting his total lack of urgency while chewing, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed frustration with himself Thursday over his poor clock management in the final moments of Union Grill’s 72-ounce “Belt Buster” steak challenge.

“I just lost track of the clock, and the next thing I knew, there was only one minute left and still 15 ounces of steak to go,” said Reid, bemoaning the fact that he leisurely dipped every piece of the 4.5-pound sirloin in A.1. Sauce while precious seconds continued running off the clock.

“Once I realized how little time was left, I tried to hurry up and managed to get most of it down, but I had trouble lining up the next chunk. I always say how important it is to eat with all your heart for the full 60 minutes, and don’t look ahead to the next meal, and days like today show why. But there’s no one to blame but myself.”

Reid added that to avoid a similar mistake in the future, he is simply going to eat the entire steak in a single mouthful.

Yup, the 8 man in the box days are dead hopefully so is the conservative playcalling until the game is NO longer in Doubt. Step on the throat, sweep the leg..... :-)

Yet, Hunt led the league in rushing, so......?

You are right, but Reid made 5 consecutive NFC Championship games, and only won one. He obviously didn't win the Super Bowl.

So, Self now has 3 Final Fours and a Ring, but he lost quite a few EE games before getting over the hump. And of course, won his Ring on the first try.

But last year was Reid's 19 year as a HC, and he is still losing playoff games the exact same way every time.

Not to disparage Hunt, he's great, but all that tells me is that it was possibly a down year in number of attempts across the league.
And how many of those attempts were pure runs/hand-offs and not passes behind the LOS? Or passes 1 to 3 yards beyond the LOS?


The point is: This league doesn't run. Not like it used to.


And between turning defenses in to soft-touch finesse squads, QB's in to fragile marketing assets, and RB's in to receivers, the game has "evolved" in to something it was never intended to be.
So it's absolutely no surprise to me that ratings are down.



It's all about creating a team and employing a QB who can make up for Reid's deficiencies. We're getting closer.
And if Reid can't do this with Mahomes, he's NEVER going to do it.

Hunt will do what he's been doing..bulldozing for first downs to seal the games.


....the dynamic of the offense has changed...he's got good hands he's going to produce one way or another.

Not worried.

My point about Hunt was the fact that Reid once again lost another 18 point second half lead because he didn't run the ball. Hunt only had 5 carries in the second half. Regardless of whether Hunt was racking up yards, eating the clock and helping the defense rest are two very big advantages of running the ball with a second half 18 point lead in the second half of a playoff game.

But I also think that Hunt has proven that he can take a 2 yard run and make it 7 yards because of the rate at which he makes people miss and breaks tackles. And given enough carries to into some kind of rhythm, he has a chance to break out some big runs.

This thread is about Reid being a bad coach, and he is a good regular season coach, but continues to lose playoff games for the exact same reason. If you don't learn from your mistakes after almost two decades of being a Head Coach, can you really be called a great coach?

I have never felt more compelled to believe in this team winning a ring with Andy as I did on Monday night.

This was basically the Titans playoff game situation on steroids.

-Lose one of your top weapons (Watkins)
-nothing is working on offense
-Andy is getting out coached. His plays aren’t working
-Needed offense to get rolling in the 2nd half bc the opponent put up 22 or more points
-penalties were killing our drives

Mahomes can carry Andy and will us to victory. We are never out of it.

And Andy knows it. No wonder he is so happy all the time.

One person says Andy is a bad coach because he got conservative in the 2nd half of the Tennessee game, another person says Andy is a bad coach because he didn't run Hunt enough in the second half.

Only on CP.

We lost because Alex turtled in the 2nd half and Harris dropped a pass that him right in the fucking hands.

A1 Steak Sauce you're doing it wrong coach.


Also you got a little sauce stain on your suite jacket.

That 1st drive on the 2nd half was so Alexian.
