Montana has Davis I think starting his break (would've been open) when Davis slips and falls. Montana immediately processes what is happening, pulls the ball down and in one motion turns and throws an outlet to Keith Cash to pick up some vital yards, move the sticks and keep things going. That was my awakening to how vital a QB is in late-game situations. So very few QBs have the presence to notice that stumble, pull the ball down, know where everyone on the field is and get him the ball. Alex either throws it anyway (though he MIGHT have gone ahead and thrown it out the back of the end zone) or he'd have tucked it and run up the middle, gaining a handful of yards and bleeding the clock white. And Alex wasn't even bad - he was just average. But a great QB makes chicken salad and maintains a chance to win. |

I'm still puzzled where this half decade ago stuff is coming from. Or where in the world I would come off as some known Reid hater let alone a big one. What am I supposed to admit I was wrong about? I wasn't sure he could get us over the top but I'm not alone in that. I'm happy to admit I was wrong there.

Like I said - you're doubling down on stupid.
No sense in buying you books if you insist on eating the pages. |

And the equally unique feeling of actually winning that game. Wasn't that the first time the Chiefs had beaten the Broncos at Mile High in the playoffs in like 250 years? Or since the birth of our star? Something like that. |

LAC - blew a big lead, then dominated after LAC caught up PITT - blew a big lead then dominated after PITt caught up SF - outscored 20-3 in the second half OAK - almost blew a 17 point 4q lead This is just mahomes. We know the track record with Alex Smith. These are games where we dominated the entire game on offense except for the drives where we were up a couple of scores. With Mahomes we are downright unstoppable in second halves when the game is close or we are trailing. So how else can you explain a pattern of becoming 3 and out Champs coincidentally when we are up by 10+? I'm sure you have plenty of excuses for each of these games as opposed to seeing the obvious pattern. |

I have no inclination to review the other two. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. |

I just wasn’t sure if he was aware that Andy Reid was not the defensive coordinator for the Chiefs in 2018.

I didn't pin that on him. But in each of those spurts it also took an offense that completely stalled for the opponent to catch up. As in back to back 3-and-out stalling. When a consistently dominant offense consistently stalls in the same exact situation it means something.
We were unstoppable in 2018 in close games, trailing, and with a lead. The only times we were inefficient was when we had a 10+ point lead. Pretty consistently. You can chalk it up as a complete coincidence. It looks like an obvious pattern to me. |

This is the 'microaggressions' of football fandom.
The Chiefs are so damn good that people like Chiefzilla need to find WINS to complain about. Because they were "unnecessarily close". When life's too easy, you just make shit up to bitch about. |

Andy Reid's record without Jim Johnson as his defensive coordinator: 111-66 (.627) in the regular season, 5-7 in the playoffs (.416). Since Discuss made this post in 2014, Reid is 5-4 (.555) in the playoffs. He has also won a Super Bowl, which he did while coaching the Kansas City Chiefs. They are my favorite football team.
