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?

Hellaire looked like he di in the beginning of the season. I thought for sure they were go use him to set up the pass.
And also those timeouts at the end of the first half.
Watch the mic'ed up. The Bucs were surprised as shit, they go "maybe we can get 3 out of this!" because they were going to run the clock and end the half. Andy Reid literally gave them 7 points. [Reply]

Not gonna lie, foreign objects were nearly hurled through my tv screen on the 3rd n 2 timeout. [Reply]

You cannot honestly expect Reid to come to a conclusion of since we missed some huge plays, lets just stop trying and run Clyde at Suh, Vea,JPP, and Shaq the rest of the game instead.
I can come to the conclusion that since passes weren't being completed and points weren't being scored, but CEH had 17 yards on 4 carries, maybe giving the ball the CEH more would slow down the pass rush that had Mahomes running for his life on a fucked off toe, ya think? [Reply]

Nah, that's just terrible hindsight... there was no DPI on an uncatchable ball and then again no DPI with 13 seconds left.
Of all the times people cry about not playing aggressive enough, now people are blaming the timeouts when they 100% were getting the ball back with a chance to score just before halftime and again out of halftime.
It was a great plan when they desperately needed some life, that was completely botched by the refs' completely unacceptable performance. The previous calls are also no excuse to just kneel on it... because those calls were so rarely awful, while you could tell your defenders to make sure you're not doing anything stupid, there was no reason to think they would call two of the worst non-contact/uncatchable DPIs anyone has ever seen.

Exactly.
The timeouts were warranted. If they had gotten the ball back and scored, the whole game changes, especially when they get the ball back to start the 3rd.
Andy had no way to know that the refs were going to gift the Bucs a TD. [Reply]

I'm certainly not "crying" about it, and I understand that we are an aggressive team - so I get it, but I still hated it. Sorry. [Reply]

Exactly.
This is completely either/or.
If the game is rigged then Andy was doing what he was told. There was NOTHING he could do to alter the outcome of the game and thus there's no way to blame him for anything.
It's either rigged or it's not. It's that simple. [Reply]
