Mahomes has 10 TDs in the first 2 games, a benchmark which has never been met before. Playcalling isn't good enough.

This idea that he just goes out there and makes shit up as he goes is just ridiculous. The guy doesn't just get dumb in the 3rd quarter. He's a ****ing football savant. Now I will say what I've always said - it's HARD to be a playcaller and a HC; there's just so much to do that I think you're putting an unnecessary degree of difficulty in there that isn't needed. At times I think he's stretched too thin and loses some overall awareness. But I also think that it's a hell of a lot less often than anyone will acknowledge. As a general rule, Andy is on top of shit and is more likely than damn near any coach out there to put his teams in a position to succeed down the stretch. Or maybe he just wins 2/3 of his games in a cuthroat league built on parity and tight scores by accident. Yeah, I'm sure that's it. |

It's very important when two teams are evenly matched.
In most cases, teams playing the Steelers were already overmatched on both sides of the ball making Tomlin's contributions minimal. In games where the talent was equal, like some of their battles with the Patriots over the years, it was clear that in the end, a big part of the difference was that BB is head and shoulders a better coach. Same with Sutton. Our defense is so bad, getting a new coordinator isn't going to make a difference. |

Sure, i guess he could've picked Geno Smith or Derek Carr instead, but i'm pretty ****ing satisfied with how his ability to evaluate the QB has turned out. |

No doubt. Just trying to keep the hyperbole to a minimum.

Most fans don't actually understand what they're seeing, so it's always "Fire the coach" or "Bench the QB!"
And yes, I understand I've been complaining about Sutton. The funny thing about the GREAT COACHES is...they pretty much always have a HOF QB. |

And there's the rub, right. Were they really THAT much better than everyone else, or did they just have a significantly better roster than everyone else with everyone else unable to steal their guys through free agency?

Regardless of one's field of work, the easiest way to tell if someone is good at their job is to ask their industry peers and their competitors. Among NFL coaches, Wally is highly regarded. Belichick is widely considered the GOAT and Wally has dusted the floor with him multiple times and in very important games. League coaches aren't ever thrilled about seeing Wally on the schedule. IMO, a lot of fan complaints are based on what we heard from Philly Bitches ... Philly Bitches who are never happy with anything. I mean anything. Ever. They ran Wally out of town weeping and rending their garments about his "game management problem" and his "time management problem" after he'd resurrected that despicable franchise and made them more than merely respectable (in a very tough division). I mean, think about it ... Philly Bitches just booed their SB MVP in his first home game. They are bitches. From Philly. And we're parroting them? So Chiefs fans hear that and say, "Oh no!!! He has time management problems!!!" and use that mantra to criticize the fact that he prefers to win freaking football games more than generating grist for the highlight reels. They sound like a bunch of malfunctioning symbiotes or talking lemmings. Wally saved this franchise's ass. Pure and simple. Sad that some fans don't recognize it or acknowledge it. Very sad, actually. FAX |

Reid also replaced the guy with his optimal QB when the time was right. Not sure what he could have done better. |

Well that's certainly true but it's also 100% hindsight. 3 years ago when it appeared Alex Smith might retire a Chief with 1 playoff win, it sure didn't seem that way.
