Head issues?
[Reply]

Again, I am not disrespectful of what Reid has accomplished and am not rallying for his replacement.

But I am very much disheartened by his response to his shortcomings, which seems to be taking more sole authority and responsibility for correcting them.

You have to realize your deficiencies and delegate to superior talent when merited.

This is beyond harsh for a guy that went out of his way to defend Alex Smith at all times. I honestly wonder if some of you watch any football outside of KC and the AFCW. If we’re so bad at all of those things compared to the rest of the league, why have we been one of the best teams/organizations in the league during Reid’s tenure? I know we have to be top 5 in wins over that span. 19-6 since Pat got the job. It’s absurd.

I’m telling you, this place has gone absolutely full retard because of one loss. I’ve never seen anything like it.

I love Mahomes, don't get me wrong.

But it's a fact that he threw a lot of prayer balls in college, circumstances notwithstanding. We saw evidence of that in the first game against the Patriots last year with that terrible INT he threw at the end of the game. And again against the Rams.

To his credit, he's learning not to do that. But he came to us with some weaknesses in his mental game. Reid has done a great job of curbing that tendency. I think it will always be there, but he's already better about it than Favre was in the early part of his career. I think we have Reid to thank for a big part of that.

I wish we had a guy like Gary Kubiak. He proved he could win the damn thing.

Or maybe Tony Dungy. Or Bill Cowher. Or Mike Tomlin.

All better than Andy for sure.
[Reply]

Mike Tomlin has a winning record and is a superbowl winner who has whooped Andy's ass on several occasions!!..so yes, I WISH we had someone like him too!! :-) .
[Reply]

Mike Tomlin took over a SB winner and has had a franchise QB his entire tenure, I think he's very overrated.

So, for the record, WHICH of those aspects of the game listed was this response intended to argue that we're above mid-bottom third?

It seems we have a choice as fans, we can accept that we will either win with Mahomes balling out and Reid gameplanning on offense so that nothing else about the game matters, or we'll accept the loss, . . . or we can accept that every part of the game matters.

On that 100 greatest games series, when they got to the Pats-Seahawks goal line INT game, the fan narrating pointed out

'Malcolm Butler? Who? An undrafted rookie? The strength of the Pats has always been that, from 1-53, there is someone who is READY to do his job whenever called on, no matter how big the stage.'

This is a radically different philosophy from what we have in KC, it also happens to foster SB dominance the league has never before witnessed.

We have the philosophy of a handful of superstars who we hope will cover for a lot of incompetence.

I once sat next to Marshall Faulk at an airport bar. He and I had a long conversation about all things sports. But the one thing he said that I thought was absolutely ridiculous - yet I deferred to him as an NFL HOFer - was that NFL head coaches were completely overrated in terms of their team’s success.

Yet we spend all of this time blaming Reid implicitly because Dee Ford was 4 inches offsides, because Alex Smith couldn’t locate a wide open Tyreek Hill streaking down the field, and because Anthony Hitchens can’t tackle a dead cat on a stretcher.

Reid isn’t perfect. But good luck naming me the coaches (ex-Belichick) that have a fan base that doesn’t bitch and complain about some aspect of their performance.
[Reply]

Reid is a helluva coach, guys.

Hes not Belichick and never will be but he can absolutely win a SB with the right talent.

At least half of the things you listed. Take OL for instance. Subpar maybe when you’re going from Fisher to Erving and then Wylie to Hunter. When this OL is healthy it’s easily above average. Do you know how many teams wish they had two bookend OT’s like Fisher and Schwartz?

If the Seahawks run the ball with their star RB they win and Malcolm Butler isn’t quite a household name.

If Dee Ford doesn’t line up offsides, Charvarius Ward, a guy that hadn’t even started more than 5 games, makes the game sealing INT that puts us in the SB.

Shit happens. It’s football. Save me the Pats 1-53 BS narrative.

Literally the only good thing in the last 20 years in this franchise is Andy Reid.

And you morons want him gone.

You brain dead monkey fucks.
[Reply]

You'd be surprised what we rip BB for.
[Reply]

This is the most ridiculous overreaction I’ve ever seen on here. And there’s an embarrassing amount of people contributing.
[Reply]

So your argument is that you've spent 50 years rooting for the outcome of a coin toss.
