Of course it always helps to have Mahomes, but the fact is Reid was here long before Mahomes and he has his system so deeply ingrained in this team that its almost foolproof by now

Institutionally, these guys know what needs to be done in their sleep

I find it fascinating that whenever there's a little potential for chaos on the field - a running clock, a penalty, a fourth down, whatever - Patrick Mahomes II always seems to be exactly on top of it. I'll be watching the TV and I'll see Patrick Mahomes II motioning for something or saying something, and I'll be pointing at the screen yelling, "He's right! He's right!"

My dog, Bean, does not like it when I yell at the television. If the Chiefs game or the Jayhawks game is causing involuntary utterances on my part, the dog gets anxious and might start barking - like, "I sense master has detected intruders at the door. I don't sense them myself, but I will help defend our home against intruders, whether they be USPS carriers or FEDEX drivers. Arf! Arf! Arf!"

The Chiefs are arguably the best coached team in the NFL, top to bottom. It's a great time to be a Chiefs fan, though some don't seem to be aware of it.

Last week I was seconds away from driving to Buffalo and beat the shit out of the Dolphins OC and Head Coach for being complete ****ups in having EVERY GOD DAMN PLAY go down to 0 on the clock and them rushing.

Then at the end they squandered at least 30 seconds huddling and doing stupid clock management shit including a substitution at 12 seconds. They had several delay of games and could have had another 4-5 as the refs gave them some leeway.

In my 52 years of watching pro football, this was the WORSE by a mile. :mad:

I'm very happy to know that your dog is named Bean.

Beans, said Homer.

Extra rep for anyone who knows what that is reference to.

I bet that it's from the Iliad, during the chapter about the battle for Troy.

Should do a poll to find out who we think is the most intellectual team to the least intellectual team. My hunch is the Raiders and Broncos would be the bottom feeders.

If that the biggest problem, I’ll take “Scoring too quickly”. Other team’ fans must feel like we did back in the Edwards / Brodie Croyle era when the problem was simply “scoring”.

Agreed. He has good pedigree.

I’ve noticed that many of Andy Reid’s supposed clock management issues disappeared with Mahomes.

Thirty seconds is enough for two Chiefs scoring drives.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Rain Man again.

Great thread- wanted to give you some good rep, but I guess I already blew my load.

Well, I knew it would not take long for someone to bring up this stuff. Fandom blinds some to reality and normalcy. Those plays sucked. But there is the context surrounding all those things. It is not like Toub was just ignoring and blatantly refusing to do anything about those things. To say otherwise is just being obtuse.
