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? He didn't take his foot off the gas.
We were in 5 wide practically the whole game.
For fuck's sake he went for a 99-yard TD pass.
One one of the possessions where Reid "failed" he drew up a bomb to Tyreek, who was open, and Morse got his shit pushed in a half second too early.
God forbid the other team win a quarter.
Some of you have very unrealistic expectations given our talent level on defense vs a HOF QB.
We're 2-0 in two road games with a QB who had never started a real game before.
Andy Reid is a fucking genius and a top 5 NFL coach. [Reply]

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.

- 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.
