KaDo's to Andy Reid
 

Ok, let me start by admitting that I think Andy Reid is a very good NFL football coach. So, most likely, my bias in evaluating Reid is to be overly positive. I beg indulgences as I proceed...

Here's the deal, Reid guided the Chiefs to a 12-4 regular season record. That, my friends, is hard to ignore. Especially when considering the amount of first stringers we had sitting on the trainer's table this year (eg. Houston, Charles, Mauga, Bailey, Howard, etc.). I sat in Arrowhead throughout the 70s watching coach after coach after coach post losing records -- 12-4 wasn't even a dream back then. Yet Reid accomplished that in year 4 (after prior good seasons too).

Add to that, that his current QB of choice is Alex Smith, and the record becomes even more remarkable.

Of course, the kicker in all of this is that he got kicked in the butt in our home field playoff game. And yeah, short of an untimely holding call, a bunch of dropped passes, some missed receivers, etc, the Chiefs still almost pulled out a win. But, he still lost a home playoff game and many of the CP nation will not let that go unpunished. Ergo, Reid sucks, he'll never win the Big One, etc.

In my mind, Reid knows more about football than I do about my little finger. The guy has been a winner in Philly and in KC. He's won with the likes of McNabb, Vick, Foles and Smith. Simply put, the guy clearly understands what it takes to win in the NFL. Let's not crucify him because he doesn't have Brady, Rothlisberger, or Rodgers. Currently, he's doing this with Alex Smith, for goodness sakes!

Do we really think that he doesn't understand what he has (and doesn't have) with Smith? The guy lives, breathes, eats, shits, (and eats some more) about football. Think he doesn't review game film? Think he doesn't know Smith's deficiencies (and strengths)? C'mon, he ain't no dummy. Of course he does.

So what's this mean? Well, for one, I think Reid knows full well that the best (if not only) way for this team to win is to muddy up the game. Not let the opposition get into any rhythm. And then, by hook/crook, coax a score from the defense or special teams and hold on for dear life. Pretty? Nope. Effective? Well, 12-4 suggests that it certainly was this year.

Consider too that we accompished all this with a fellow by the name of Spencer Ware as our primary runner, did not have 2 of 3 starting DL for most of the year, did not have 2 of 4 starting LBs for most of the year, had an extremely young OL, a receiving corp that drops passes like they're hot rocks, a QB that has very limited field vision, etc, etc, etc. Of course I guess you could suggest that some of these items are the result of poor coaching, but methinks that with serious reflection, that's just not the case. This team simpy has some deficiencies that cannot be overcome with coaching. That said, the 12-4 record suggests that a whole lot of said deficiency was overcome.

So, where does this lead us? Well, for one, Andy Reid can challenge himself to make some key changes in efforts to further improve the team. This crap about "I'm taking responsibility for this" and "it's my responsibility to get the guys in the right place" is only so much crap unless true change occurs. If Reid is half the coach that I think he is, we should see some pretty interesting changes next year. Of course, if he's another bullheaded German "Marty" type, we ain't gonna see anything change come hell or high water.

In sum, kado's to Coach Reid on a really great year. Now, let's see some demonstrable change so as to further improve the proficiency of our Chiefs team. Anything less, and I'm gonna retract my kado's and turn into the biggest Reid-basher on The Planet. Don't make me do it!

Blow it out your ass Howard

What the **** is KaDo's?



Kudos?

LMAO

I think it was one of the planets in Star Wars.

Ok..........

The supply of drugs in the US must be increasing.

Wah lah, another dumbass.

Wasn't KaDos OJ's friend?

What in the blue ****?

KaDo's? Kudos?

And the apostrophe???

You want the Pink Panthers butler to help Andy Reid ?

Don't blame me, I voted for Kudos.

ROFL I couldn't figure out what the hell that was. It must be kudos. I think.

I felt a great disturbance in Meatloaf's mind, as if millions of brain cells suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

Not sure what KaDo's are, but I don't have many problems with Andy Reid. For as much as people bitch about his play calling, I see a guy calling plays that gets receivers open down the field and a QB that doesn't get them the ball with any regularity. The problem I have with Andy isn't with play calling. My problems with Andy are: 1) Failure to address the failures of Alex Smith and 2) Failures in clock management, perhaps through too many voices in the headset.

Instant section eight.

Were those the new menu items at Arrowhead this week

Meth is a helluva drug.

Andy's best asset is leadership. Players love to play for him and coaches love to coach for him.

Good leaders also know when to delegate, though. And I think it's clear he should delegate playcalling to somebody else so he can focus on the big picture. Yes, Alex misses open receivers on a regular basis, but Andy doesn't do this team any favors by going conservative when he needs to be aggressive and vice versa, which has been a persistent problem since he got here. And maybe if he didn't have to worry about calling plays, he'd be able to pay closer attention to the clock...

can we add Kado's to the CP Lexicon list?

I doubt this is what Meatloaf was going for, but "ka-do" (or "ka-doo") is how Romeo Crennel pronounces "kudo."

Kado?

Are you saying you want to send Reid there?

Wikipedia:
Kado is a village in Kalewa Township, Kale District, in the Sagaing Region of western Burma.

I agree. One way ticket with smith.

I would think this was a thread opening fail except you put it in the body of the post as well.

Thank you, Siberian khatru, that's EXACTLY where that came from. You CPers are losing the edge. Guess I need to go slower next time. :hmmm:

Kado is also Indonesian for gift.

I believe Meatloaf has a gift for Reid.

You people are making me laugh so hard, I'm cryin'! Nice.

Found this in the urban dictionary.

Kado:
Hardcore gangster that keeps it real to Thug Life, and keeps it crunk 24/7

"What up Kado, you bout drunk as a mother****er."


--- Now I need to look up crunk. What a rabbit hole this is turning out to be.

Saying kudos to Reid is like praising the reeruned kid for not drooling all over himself eating jaw breakers.

Jfc. Reid is laughable

Reid didn't inherit Alex Smith and his bumbling play calling has been a limiting factor his entire career.

If he's smart enough to get a new QB lined up for at least past next season and let someone else take over the OC-play calling then I'll listen.

Reid deserves all the kabobs.

Good greif, Reerun, you want laughable? Try these:

P Wiggin 11-24
T Bettis 1-6
M Levy 31-42
J Mackovic 30-34
F Ganz 8-22
H Edwards 15-33
T Haley 19-26
R "KaDo" Crennel 4-15

Meanwhile, Mr Laughable is 43-21.

Agree with these, kccrow. Nice assessment.

/thread

nail, meet hammer.

Millennial spelling.

I think Meatloaf here is actually causing a shortage while supply struggles to catch up to his consumption.

I think it is an Australian kudo.

Yeah, saw that. Sorry, fat fingers. Mea cupla.

Good grief

Meatloaf is a dish that needs the right recipe to be good. You definitely do not have the right recipe.

ROFL

And all the escalades

What the hell is a KaDo?

I know what a Kudo is, but a KaDo?

1-3

Talk to me when we win something g meaningful with bug bubbles.

Otherwise if just typical chiefy regular season is the only thing that matters bullshit I've heard since 1987...
Also how many playoff wins during the last 4 decades?

Good one...

Mea Cupla ruined The Godfather III!!

Go to Walmart and buy a bag of Andy's hot Cajun cat fish breading. Add 1/2 a cup to one pound of hamburger.
You can thank me later.

Much KaDo about nothing.

If you take into account the fact that English is apparently not Meatloaf's native language, this was an insightful and well-written OP.

KaDo's to him for that.

But why capitalize the "D" though?

4 playoff wins since 1970 = /thread

That's more an argument for drafting a franchise QB than against Reid though. KaDo's for trying though. :D

Thanks and propellers to you for discussing!

Mylanta

Ithought about that, Fish, but since it's not reallly a word, I don't think it can be misspelled!

Big Makado

Appreciate the explanation. Keep on keepin on.... :thumb:

It's a gift.

[wonders if anyone gets this one]

You know, Kado. OJ's flaky sidekick.

KaDo's to Andy Reid. He deserves all the escalades. Mea Cupla runneth over.

Very original
