Andy Reid got depantsed in the Super Bowl by Bruce Arians.
Bruce Fucking Arians and Tom Fucking Brady.
Well, you see, Andy Reid is an offensive genius, and how dare we question Andy Reid's genius in not running the ball and not utilizing the screen pass in the face of an epically brutal pass rush, a patchwork offensive line and a QB with a hurt toe?
How dare we question his geniusness?

Life's in the crapper? It's the fam. Can't find love? Bitches are evil. Can't get a first down? It's the refs. Defense is bad because the talent sucks total ass? Fire the coordinator. It's easy. Makes the conversation nice and simple. No additional thinking required.
I'm not going to try and stack up my Chiefs Fan Credentials to anyone else's, but you can trust me when I say, "I know the pain and the heartbreak." But to be perfectly honest, I would prefer to love a team that loses a few games than hang out with morons and fools.
I believe the Chiefs are very fortunate to have Wally. We know what we were before he arrived and we know what we are now. I'm not sure any of these positive changes would have happened without Wally in charge. They might have ... but Wally did it. That, we know. And, lest we forget, Clark did that for us.

Does this suggest, Mr. FAX, the root cause analysis (RCA) process business shouldn't be used? Clearly, sometimes, there is something or somebody to blame, and I think 45+ years of not even getting to the SB in a salary cap/draft league suggests that something wasn't greased well enough. [Reply]

We had Nagy, Pederson, Ballard, and Dorsey in our organization. Why are you acting like we had no options but Andy Reid or Vic Fangio? Pederson has already won a super bowl. Ballard already has his team looking strong in the players. Dorsey has already drafted another quality QB and looks to be turning around the worse franchise in the NFL.
Up until now, most people refuse to blame Reid. It was the QB's fault, even though Andy was the guy who wanted Smith. Now Smith is replaced by a HOF Quarterback. If we don't go any further with Mahomes than we did with Smith then people are going to start looking really hard at Reid.
Next year, Andy has to start helping Toub and Sutton do their job's better. He must instill more discipline into the entire team. Either players fully commit to doing their job or they hit the highway. All this sloppy, half-ass play has to stop. [Reply]

Great, I look forward to a bunch of Championships and Superbowls now that Andy isn't handicapped by his trade for a terrible QB. By virtually everyone's account, Mahomes is an elite QB. No excuses.
Why are we leading the league in penalties again? Players can no longer be playing like crap because they see that Alex Smith sucks. [Reply]
