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?

You’re talking like the guy doesn’t have a SB ring holding one of the best offenses in NFL history to 14 points (the same way they were). If you’re only going to acknowledge his failures and try to diminish his biggest accomplishment that’s not a “good argument”.
Hence why they were completely wrong.
Precisely this. Spags had a ring as a defensive genius. [Reply]

It’s like these coaches don’t know what a clock is
This. Why save the extra time out in the process of burning 20 valuable seconds off the dying clock. Makes little sense to me. [Reply]

Bullshit.. Don't be a jackass.. this thread was full of them... [Reply]

Dude, Mahomes is a generational talent, but Reid has absolutely harnessed that talent and helped Mahomes achieve greatness in a short period of time.
To say "coaching is irrelevant" is obtuse. [Reply]

That's a fact. I called that shit. 100%. Twisted Chief and Clay can both attest to that.
It was actually a pretty good call. Mahomes has led the team to 28 points in a quarter at least 4 times, IIRC, and at least 20 points in a quarter something like 7 times in his short career.
Though I admit, I didn't think he was going to score 28 in the 2nd quarter until we got that last stop and I saw that we had over 2 minutes left on the clock. Then I turned to Scho and said something like, "we're going to go down the field right now and score another TD. Write it down." [Reply]

Help me out here. I only recall the Houston playoff game and the game at Oakland this year where Mahomes has led the team to 28 in a quarter. Maybe I'm forgetting. Was one the Pittsburgh game in 2018? I remember a scoring frenzy in that one [Reply]

I think we had 21 in the first and would have gotten 28 if the defensive TD wasn’t called back on a penalty against Pittsburgh. Can’t remember if we got 28 in a quarter against SF in 2018, but they did have 35 at the half. [Reply]

So I misremembered a bit.
2 games where the Chiefs led by Mahomes scored 28 points in a quarter.
3 games in which the Chiefs scored 35 points in a half.
7 games where the Chiefs scored at least 21 or more points in a single quarter.
27 halves in which the Mahomes-led Chiefs scored at least 21 points. [Reply]

Welcome. There's also a number of games where the Chiefs scored at least 15 points in each half. And a number in which the Chiefs scored at least 20 points in a half. It's very Madden-esque. [Reply]

I think Mahomes physical talents would eventually shine through, unless he was a Cleveland Brown.
But, Reid was the absolute perfect fit. Mahomes is the warm humid air coming up from the Gulf, and Reid is the cool, dry air drifting down from the north. Together they have created the perfect tornado of offense.
I remember the angry, hurt, disgusted look on Mahomes' face when he was walking off the field after losing the AFCCG because our defense collapsed under the pressure, and because he never got to touch the ball in overtime.
The rumors at the time were that he angrily addressed the team and said we were never going to lose another game in that fashion again. We probably won't know exactly what he said until we are watching a documentary about Mahomes like the Jordan/Bulls documentary The Last Dance.
But, knowing he was that upset with the team coached by Andy Reid, I can only imagine the hell he would be in if he had been drafted by Bill O'Brien and the Texans. Can you imagine how he would react to his Head Coach/GM telling him that he traded away his number one receiver? Or any other of the idiotic moves the O'Brien has made?
Mahomes is a generational talent, but Andy Reid is the perfect head coach for his talents, and I think Veach is the perfect GM for his talents.
