Chris Simms said the most "shocking" aspect of the SB, after watching it 3 times, was Reid's game plan.
He said he studied KC all season...and had no idea what they were doing. It wasn't "normal"...
He said it was dumbfounding as they had adapted/evolved their offense earlier in the season and had become truly "multi-faceted".
AR essentially set them up to fail...he was calling long evolving pass plays with a 3rd string o-line. Simms said it played directly into TB's strengths.
Sorry but this is as believable as the time Alex Smith couldn't solve a basic cover 2 for five games....Andy had two weeks to create a gameplan..and is usually unbeatable in that scenario...especially with a Superbowl on the line.
Reid is a NFL company man...if he were instructed to take a dive...he would. Judging by the insane, one-sided officiating...sure looks like this one was predetermined.
All post-season they had been letting teams play with minimal interference...then, out of nowhere, wallop the Chiefs with a record amount of calls...many weren't even fouls.
I've never seen a SB officiated like this...
People think he's this all powerful figure in the NFL...nope...he's a regional branch manager...one of 32. They work under a corporation comprised of owners....who work for those above them.
Is what it is...Falcons took a dive a few years back.
Their reasoning was that being up 2 scores with under 5 minutes...NE out of time outs... wasn't safe enough...so they opted out of running down the clock and taking a FG
