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?

To win the game, you have to stop Rodgers AT SOME POINT. Even if you score a TD, you have to then stop Rodgers to win the game.
So Andy basically said,
"We have to stop him at some point, so let's see if they can do it when he's not trying to throw on every play."
And it almost worked.
If the Chiefs had stopped them, gotten the ball back at midfield, scored a TD and 2 point conversion with <30 seconds left, Reid would have looked like a goddamn genius punting.

Nothing existed before Mahomes, but I don't know what you're getting at...maybe Shady has always done that, but maybe he's old now and is losing his grip.
Regardless, he needs to start covering that ****ing ball with both hands in traffic. [Reply]

It's on the players.
OK this makes no sense. He didn't need another stop. A score plus a 2 pt wins it if he uses the time available. A TD and an xp takes us to overtime where we MIGHT not have to stop him. Throwing the worn out d to the dogs was not in any way a genius move. It was chicken shit. [Reply]

Yeah I'm getting at that he hasn't just changed his grip on the ball and fumbling hasn't been a problem for him so you're post made no sense. [Reply]

Well, Andy was ****ing wrong. And so are you.
Hey Clay, you know why Baltimore, Detroit, Indy, and Houston kept going for it on 4th down against us?
Because the best way to beat a superior QB is to keep him off the field.
Period.
Tonight, the superior QB was on the other side, and Red put him on the field and we never saw the ball again.
AND EVERYONE IN THE GROUP CHAT KNEW IT WHEN HE PUNTED. 20 DICKWEEDS ON DISCORD WENT "WE'LL NEVER GET THE BALL BACK." [Reply]
The Chiefs were going to use 5 minutes to go 50 yards?
I sincerely doubt it.
Maybe not, but it was a possibility. Punting meant no matter what you had to stop Rodgers on his terms. They could run down our throat without care. Had we scored there would at least be some pressure. The punt was just a terrible decision. Defend Andy all you want, but defending the punt weakens your position considerably. [Reply]

Well, he's fumbled twice this year doing that, so it makes perfect sense if you've watched Chiefs games in 2019.

If I had attended MIT and earned a PhD in quantum physics and then went to work for the Department of Energy, I could be at this very moment reverse-engineering alien spacecraft and technology somewhere in the state of Nevada! [Reply]
