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?

What Reid did with Moore tonight was impressive and should be applauded, but it didn't matter because Reid doesn't know how to finish a game.

Complaining about Reid tonight is silly. The guy did an excellent job getting 24 pts. out of Matt Moore with Cameron Erving at LT. Going against that Packers secondary/pass rush makes it all the more impressive.
I said the small decisions get in the way of him being rewarded for it, referring to the quoted posts point about his great game plans.
I was pleased and surprised with a lot of what I saw today outside of the linebackers coverage and run stopping abilities. And McCoy s fumble of course. And Rodgers two pass plays. [Reply]

That’s why I facepalmed your stupid ****ing take. Do you still not get that?
You act like Matt Moore is Matt Cassel and Reid worked miracles out there.
They still LOST BECAUSE OF REID'S DECISIONS.
NO ONE IS QUESTIONING REID'S OFFENSIVE PROWESS WHEN IT COMES TO PLAY DESIGN.
WE QUESTION HIS SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. REPEATEDLY.

Andy the de-facto OC did great tonight.
Andy the HC failed again with terrible late in-game management. [Reply]

If Reid goes for that 4th down and we don't get it, I'm not blaming Andy.
I'd have applauded him given the state of the reeling D and who was the opposing QB. It's all about momentum. I knew KC wasn't getting that ball back. [Reply]

He'll do it with Mahomes and a healthy defense in the playoffs, too, if he gets the chance. That's the point. The loss tonight is not totally on Reid because he's the only reason we were in it. But he'll do this same thing when the season is on the line and being reminded of it tonight is panic inducing.
He's been doing the same thing his entire career.
His brilliant offensive mind gets his team in a position to win. His stupid Head Coaching mind will do it's best to fuck it up.
Don't forget the undisciplined team he's created. That comes from practices, meetings and general attitude. Teams take after their coaches and Andy Reid is a friendly, good-hearted ... sloppy, undisciplined coach.
I also his recent family issues have made him rethink his priorities. He wants to help his son Britt develop a career. He wants his job to be pleasant and enjoyable. Things that come before winning a Super Bowl. JMO [Reply]

I’m not saying you in particular, but if we went for it and didn’t get it, a lot of these same people would be bitching about the playcall as opposed to the decision to go for it. [Reply]

If we don't get it whatever. At least we tried to tie the game with our best weapon, which was still the offense. [Reply]
