This is the problem, though. The last 2 games have been vintage Andy Reid - we came THIS close to losing games where we were throttling the opponent. And the pattern is the exact. same. damn. thing.

- Defense decent early. Chiefs score 2 quick TDs
- Defense can't get off the field (fall into Prevent defense). Offense goes into a shell & has totally ineffective 2nd quarter. Other team catches up
- Chiefs offense & defense dominate into a commanding lead
- Chiefs find a way to squander the lead. Offense goes into "protect the lead" mode, defense falls back to prevent again

And every step of the way is vintage Reid. The good news is we keep winning. The bad news is we keep winning. How many times do we have to see this brutal pattern? If Andy Reid continues to stubbornly refuse to put away games, we're going to piss away a really important game. Mahomes can win in shootouts but why the **** even force pressure drives when we don't need to? Maddening.

we just played two excellent teams with incredible quarterbacks. You think we should have boat-raced them?

You're basically faulting the Chiefs for not blowing Pittsburgh out. They have a HOF QB, they were going to get back into the game against our complete shit secondary.

We had this game won when it was 42-30, then Conley fumbled. Reid has nothing to do with that.

And they were ahead 31-12 in LA, that game was over, who cares about garbage time.

"Vintage Reid" is that shit that happened in Indianapolis or against the Titans, not the last two weeks.

And that is Andy Reid's 2 decades in the NFL, wrapped up into one paragraph.

And that's who he has ALWAYS been.

And he's STILL that.

And no one can answer the question about why they expect that he'll ever be any different from what he has always been.

They just say I'm an idiot...but can't tell me why.

One guy told me to name a current NFL head coach with a better winning percentage not named Belichick.

I named 3 guys named Mike off the top of my head : Zimmer, Tomlin, and McCarty. 2 of 'em have Super Bowls.

FFS

He's a fat cocksucker, Clay.

And he SUCKS.

He's soft, his teams are always soft and pudgy. Weak up the middle, on offense AND defense.

I don't know if we can get anything better...but I want Super Bowls.

Andy is a retread who has never won shit without Jim Johnson, and even then, Reid went full Reidtard in the Super Bowl with his patented 7-minute offense when down by 14 that we saw in playoff losses in NE, and at home against Pit and TEN.

And that's a Reid trademark, going back to Philly...and he still does the same shit.

Mahomes overcame the refs, the Steelers AND HIS OWN COACH today.
[Reply]

Our run defense didn't look soft today, bud.

Why don't you roll back the tape of our last possession? Soft? Power O right up their ass. Ballgame.

You're just hating on one of the greatest NFL coaches ever.

Did you even watch the game today? Tomlin isn't a better coach than Reid. He had NO answer for our offense.
[Reply]

Words can't express how terrible the decision was to keep Sutton. Even if it's because Andy has sacrificed the D to build an O that'll win games 70-68, keeping Sutton was a real kick in the teeth to Chiefs fans. And to not explain why (not that they have to), doesn't do anything to help fans stay positive. It's like they doubled-down on stupid, and kicking fans in the teeth.

Maybe they thought Berry would play... IDK.
[Reply]

Just believe.
[Reply]

They stiffend on the last drive, with NO LeVeon Bell, against the backup.

And I never said Tomlin was better; I was asked who had a better win percentage than Reid among active coaches, and Tomlin is one of 3 guys named Mike amongst active coaches who DO have a better win percentage.

Words have meanings, Clay.
And I ain't hating on Reid for anything that every Philly fan hasn't hated him for already.
[Reply]

It's a tough call. On the one hand, Reid & Mahomes are a perfect match. And you just hope that Mahomes' talent can help us unfuck Reid's game management, or that Reid will begin to trust Mahomes' ability to put games away. And it's not hard to imagine that we can find some years with good bounces - Reid has had plenty of deep playoff success before. Maybe wishful thinking. For now, I'll just enjoy the show.
[Reply]

The gameplan was fine. I just don't understand why Reid continues to abandon the gameplan when we have a lead. Go for the throat. If your QB is dominating, keep pressing. If your D is having some success, stop rolling out that bullshit prevent.
[Reply]

It's shit like this that leads me to believe that Reid is complicit in the rigging.

It was like, as SOON as they threw the phantom flag to take the 27-0 away, take points off the board, Reid used that as his cue to take his foot off the throttle and let Pitt catch up a bit.

Anyone else notice that?

He did the same shit in the Denver game that is referenced in the OP of this thread.

Same.

Fucking.

Shit.
[Reply]

That might be the weirdest analogy I've ever heard but I get it. I also agree with it.

It's too late though, once Clark chose Andy over Dorsey it was done. Reid got the power he desired and signed his contract extension. He will be here until he decides to leave.

It doesn't matter how many times Reid gets us to the playoffs only to shit on our deck.
