We were out-coached and out-played. It was both the game-plan and the personnel.
But let's put it into perspective. Reid's creativity has won us a lot of games against teams with, imo, more talented rosters but worse QBs and coaches. The Niners and the last iteration of this Eagles team for starters. I wish he ran it a little more. I wish he was more ruthless, and that he occasionally adapted quicker in-game, including in this game. But I honestly think his coaching has got us SBs no other coach would.
Which leads me to personnel. Honestly, I do think Reid and Mahomes have, at times, papered over the cracks in rosters. I don't think Veach has got it all right and that's left us vulnerable. As I said elsewhere, Roseman is the standard for roster building. But he's also made some gutsy calls. Do we win more with Hill? I doubt it given what the rest of the roster would look like. It was a big personnel call, and it was right. The 2022 draft was top draw and he's got value in others.
Overall, everyone s**t the bed. The coaches got the game wrong but were hamstrung but the shi**y LT situation Veach oversaw.
We need a VERY good offseason from Veach and probably a home-run draft. More likely it'll take a few of each to build back up, with Reid and Mahomes keeping us competing regardless.
