Why angle for a play where your team -where any team- is facing an 80%+ chance of failure?

Because...Chiefs??

I got nothing.

I guess it's a thing, because he did the exact same shit in the SB vs NE. :shrug:

I know this goes back to Andy, but WTF was Albert Wilson thinking when he caught the ball at the 4 yard line and stayed in bounds with 2:54 left?

Yes that's on Andy, but I think more of it is on Wilson. It's the 2 min drill. Ever since high school you should know that you get out of bounds in that situation.

Just an awful **** up there

The entire thing makes me want to put an ice pack on my forehead.

He caught the ball at the 5, turned and tried to score. I don't think it was an atrocious mistake. He came up about a foot short.

Huh? He almost scored and got it inches away. It isn't guaranteed you are going to score running out at the five. Not his fault Smith and Reid looked like the baby failing trying to kick the football gif. If he ran out every one here would have called him a moron.

The fact that people are still beating this dead horse makes Bob Dole want to put an ice pack on Bob Dole's forehead.

Bust out the Dole Hammer!

The AFC Coach of the Year, Andy Reid, made history with the Kansas City Chiefs by becoming the first coach in NFL history to bounce back from a 1-5 start to end the season on a 10-game winning streak and qualify for the playoffs. After starting the season with a win over the Houston Texans, the Chiefs not only stumbled in their next five games but also experienced the loss of star running back <nobr>Jamaal Charles</nobr> to an ACL injury. Behind strong leadership, Reid rallied the team to win their next 10 games—the longest winning streak in franchise history—and earn a spot in the AFC playoffs. Reid and the Chiefs extended the amazing streak to 11 games with a shutout victory over the Texans in the Wild Card game, the franchises’ first playoff win in 22 years.

That is amazing, and well worth a tip of the cap, national recognition, and a firm pat on the back too. But with how he handled/lead the management of that potential 12th win in that winning streak, and the in-game handling of at least a couple of the losses before the streak started, can't be ignored either.

So he should celebrate this recognition, as should the team, but there's some fixing to do, and I hope the moves we've seen this last week result in those changes actually happening. IOW, in-game decisions don't wait on him to over-think things, or anybody else he's supposedly handed the wheel to for that matter. If the changes are genuine I'll be very happy and hopeful for next year.

The Todd Haley won the same award in 2010.

See what I'm getting at??

Ah, a good time to bump this one...

Rep applied. Andy sure missed having his guys NFL-ready this year. Too much rest, relaxation, befriending the players, and eating BBQ.

The right 53?

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with this.

We'll never win a Super bowl with this fat bastard as our coach.

Pardon me, but it appears we've rid ourselves of the idiot that is rabblerouser. Can we please not bump any of his threads.

Biggest comeback in franchise history after winning our first playoff game since 93. 12-1 run in the last 13 games.

I would hold off on this bud. He's got some flaws though. That's for sure

Blah blah blah, one week later we can't score a single TD against Houston...

But NE's 3rd stringer beats em 27-0 the next week.

Yeah, ok guy.

Let's go Chiefs.

DAT is part of 'the right 53'?

Never.

Sitting on the bench.

So, not today!

That was a perfect example of what Andy does.

I was hoping someone would bring this thread up.

Regardless of the score right now...Reid is a ****ing complete moron of a HC.

Trying to be cute on offense inside the 5.

And again and again...he turns reeruned inside 2min. WTF IS HE DOING THERE?!?!?!?

GOD DAMNIT ITS FRUSTRATING!!!!

If not for a gifted fumble/TD this game is 10-3.


Reid has been terrible.

Fat ****in walrus looking pos.

God it just strikes a ****in' nerve w/ me.

How in the ****...in this league, in this game, can you not possibly learn from your past mistakes w/ clock mgmt?

If Maclin makes either of those last two catches, we are scoring to end the half. But don't let facts get in the way...

I have a bad feeling.

Pederson is doing a great job in Philly. Did we let the wrong guy go?

Can't call a game to save his ass

Doesn't matter. Andy is in charge.

Lucky that the Jets have a colorblind QB.

AR is a good HC he he is just a horrible game manager.

He needs to turn play calling to the OC so he focus on the entire game.

Fact is he is an idiot. Smith is a chicken shit that can't score. Every QB in the league scores more often than him. Rookies are making Smith look pathetic.

People said the same thing about Herm, and I'll tell you what I told them :

A good HC, by definition, cannot simultaneously also be a horrible game manager. The two things don't correlate.

Couldn't disagree more dude has won a ton of games in the NFL.

Needs to give up the play calling is all.

You're not familiar with Chilly, are you?

Some of those plays called in the red zone were some of the worst designed trickery crap I have ever seen.

I'm not sure why Andy tries to get real cute when he hits the 20 yard line. Why doesn't he just keep doing what works? It's like he gets in close and completely craps himself.

If Reid had a decent OC and let them do their job this team would be much better.


I think the players love him and play their ass off for him.

Andy has a QB that won't throw to the end zone. Makes
It tough to score.

Andy "Screen Play" Reid and his horizontal passing game are to blame.

When Harbaugh was Smith's HC, Smith outgunned Drew Brees in the playoffs.

Reid says Smith runs the offense "to perfection."

Smith is literally an onfield extension of his HC*

*I base this off of Reid and Harbaugh only; Reid, while not a good NFL head coach, actually does have merit as a head coach...whereas Mikes Nolan and Singletary are not even able to be considered actual NFL HCs.

Someone is going to come in here screaming "ARE YOU REALLY COMPLAINING AFTER A WIN"?

And I just ruined their mojo.

You're welcome.

Without Jim Johnson as DC, Reid hasn't done squat.

Maybe if he gave up playcalling, he would be better in actual game management, it's possible.

But since we have seen no inclination of him giving up playcalling, all that is conjecture and his game management remains suspect, and during the games that truly matter, his teams seem to always be unprepared or get out coached in game management.

Ryan Fitzcassel is a shitty QB. With what, 7 turnovers?

We should've scored in the 30s today, bare minimum.

The Jets defense is good, we got lucky today. Don't get it twisted.

I'm not a huge fan of Alex but the playcalling so far has been absolutely dreadful.

The offense looks like a college offense with no passing game.

ROFL

I just shook my head at the option plays today.

Alex got ****ing smeared on one. I just shook my head, because Andy Reid is supposedly an "offensive genius".

Philly bitched about play calling, and we have bitched about Reid and the same thing for 4 years now.

He's been the exact same guy for the better part of 2 decades now.

I find it hard to believe that he will be anything other than what he always has been...

Yep.

We can pull our hair out all we want but nothing is going to change.

Philly doesn't deserve a qb like Wentz.

I don't remember the Eagles with Mcnabb in 04ish running a bunch of qb option and screen plays.

Maybe I didn't watch close enough.

The only thing Philly fans deserve is an Ebola outbreak.

Play calls, timing, and clock management.

LMAO

And Donny Wahlberg movies.

It's hard to swallow, but I have to admit, the Broncos have a more explosive,exciting, and productive offense than the Chiefs. And all of that with basically a rookie playing Qb? The play calling of our coach and the ability of our QB, both have to share the blame. So sad.

Terrell Owens needs to be in the Hall.


Dude was amazing.

Mutha****ing Marky Mark, dawg!

And Reid constantly and consistently fails at all 3 ROFL

Marky is the talented one. He's been in some pretty great movies.

His brother on the other hand....jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze....

Andy Reid'a play calling left a lot to be desired today.

Truth. Remember when they booed Michael Irvin when he broke his neck and had to be stretchered off the field?

They booed Santa Claus, ffs. **** them with Ebolaids and antifreeze.

If Jesus Christ did a halftime show and turned water into wine the fans would throw battery-packed snowballs at him.

I will forever be a Boogie Nights fan.

Someone thought this was a stupid post.


Time will tell. We can compare results when the Chiefs play Pittsburgh next week.

Yep. Philly fans are not good people.

This sounds familiar:

Collectively, the Eagles were shaking their heads following Super Bowl XXXIX. It didn't make much sense to them.

Donovan McNabb throws for 357 yards and three touchdowns. Terrell Owens makes a miracle comeback from ankle surgery in less than seven weeks and catches nine passes for 122 yards. Jim Johnson's blitzing schemes caused Tom Brady to be slightly off his game, getting sacked twice and uncharacteristically being off on most of his 10 incompletions. But the Patriots won 24-21.

The loss was baffling to the Eagles. Critics wondered about the lack of urgency during the Eagles' fourth-quarter touchdown drive that resulted in a 30-yard touchdown pass to Greg Lewis with 1:55 left. Down by 10 points with 5:40 left in regulation, McNabb and the Eagles didn't go into a no-huddle offense. The Eagles ate up too much clock on that 13-play, 79-yard touchdown drive.

"I don't know what happened," Eagles tight end L.J. Smith said.

The Eagles were unable to explain their clock management at the end of the game.

First coach to have 3 winning years in a row in KC to start his career and off to a 2-1 start this year.

Does he have warts? Yea.

Is he a BAD football coach? Give me a ****ing break. I bitch at the TV like anyone else but winning is the end all be all. Period.

Ask yourself who you would 100% trade him for coaching wise and get back with me. There may be 3 or 4 coaches. Think about it.

We've already seen it over and over here.

It's what he does. It's how he's always been.

He is a good coach with warts that occasionally looks looks like a genius.

The problem we have is that the personnel on the field doesn't mask his weaknesses.

McNabb and Vick masked them somewhat with their inherent aggressiveness.

Andy is not a terrible HC, but he is beyond terrible as an offensive coordinator.

Not sure if true? Marty?

Dude, I totally Netflix'd that shit last week, hadn't watched it since the late 90's.
Awesome movie. I will always be a Burt Reynolds fan.

Whomever decided that it was a good idea to run behind our 3rd string RG on 4th and 1 should not call plays anymore. The RG we just brought up from the practice squad last week.

Deshaun Jackson or Terrell Owens didn't hurt, either.

Well I guess you are right. Marty went 8-7-1 his first season. I suppose that's a winning season.

Reid has the most wins his first 3 seasons.

So they were playing their asses off for him against the Texans?

The effort was there, but their heads were planted up their ass.

Do we know who exactly is calling the plays?

Andy Reid is not a bad footbal coach. He is, however, a very CAREFUL football coach. Nothing is done without intense scrutiny and analyses. So, I'd offer that we're not going to be seeing things on the field that are spontaneous. Everything's going to be well thought out and carefully orchestrated. And, Reid has the perfect QB for this attitude in Aex Smith. Nothing like a double-dose of CAREFUL to yield a rather boring product.

That said, such carefulness isn't all bad as over time, this generally results in success. Nonetheless, if spontenaeity is ever a good thing to have on the football field, well, under Reid, we won't have it.

To wit, did you see Reid thinking about going for it (or not) on that 4th and one today? You could just see the gears grinding. To suggest that he was decisive about it would be incorrect. Think that carries over to his guys on the field? I do. Little spiz and way too much furrowing of brow. C'mon Andy, get outa that shell every now and then and let er rip!!!
