A quick note about the Chiefs' coaching and intelligence
 

I watch other games, and I shake my head.

You see coaches not being able to get plays called in. Players lining up in the wrong spot. Players running out of bounds when they should stay in bounds, or staying in bounds when they should have run out of bounds. Players who don't know the game situation and celebrate a first down when they need to be lining up in a hurry up. Snapping the ball at the wrong time.

We never see players or coaches botching up stuff like that. We call plays with enough time to snow globe. We see Kelce and Mahomes designing plays with 13 seconds left because they see some gap in the defense. We see offensive linemen running downfield to call time outs when the clock situation is dire. Patrick Mahomes II knows every rule, down and distance, and clock situation there is.

I love how intelligent this team is from top to bottom, and how the coaches train the team so well.

My favorite Team is also the intelligent CHIEFS...


(great points Sir)

Interested to see what Andy draws up for a trick play or two tomorrow

The main part of it is Patrick Mahomes, as Reid said in his interview with Chris.

I hope it's something involving crowd noise.

he's saving that shit, i assure you

there is NO REASON to burn that on JAX

I could see showing just a little bit of something for Bills/bangels to think about...

Agree for the most part. The one maddening exception for me has been special teams, where there seems to be this belief that everybody needs to be a hero rather than just safely receive the ball and hand it back to the offense with some reasonable field position to work with.

Agreed. I was shocked watching the dolphins on offense in their game against buffalo. They couldn’t get plays called all game. You’d think that would be a high priority with a rookie qb. All of their second half timeouts were used to avoid a delay of game when they couldn’t get out of the huddle in time to get the snap off. We hardly ever see that crap with the chiefs.

Yeah, you can see him looking annoyed doing the "hurry up and get the call in" hand motion literally 3 seconds after every play lol

He is probably not fun to work with in that regard, but it makes for a good, prepared football team.

Our team makes up for the lack of intelligence with some of the Superfans.

there are no words to say how bad the dolphins were


I remember the number of "illegal formations" that were called on Haleys teams.

We just dont see that anymore. Calm is the name of the game.

I wonder if we ever just let mahomes all the plays like manning

It's probably better that we don't at this point.

First of all, we've got Andy Reid. Reid's play calling made offenses with Alex Smith at QB top 10 in scoring.

Second, Mahomes is a dawg so you know he's going to be calling nothing but pass plays lol

I still tend to get frustrated by clock management issues. We seem to be prone to scoring too quickly to end a half. That said, Andy’s clock management is better than it used to be.
