I didn't read all the posts, so.. Reid lost 3 playoff games simply because he almost completely abandoned the running game. Even with our top 2 running backs being injured in the Indy game, all he had to do was eat as much clock as possible with each second half possession, and we leave with a win.
Then against the Steelers and Titans he didn't even try to run the ball. Against Pittsburgh we had just 12 true running plays (Smith scrambles are not true runs) and lost by 2 after having the lead in the second half.
Against Tennessee once again we had 12 true running plays and lost by 1 after having the lead in the second half. And to make it worse, Kareem Hunt led the NFL in rushing and we handed the ball to him only 11 times.
Players weren't perfect in these three playoff losses, but we lost all of them directly due to Reid's piss poor game planning and play calling, and trash clock management.
Reid is such a joke in the playoffs that when asked to pick playoff game winners anonymous GMs made jokes to the media about "Bad Andy" not running the ball in the playoffs. And when he was canned in Philly, some Eagles fans visited Chiefsplanet just to let us know why they weren't sad to see him leave, for this exact reason.
Doing it once is a learning experience. Doing it 3 times in 5 years is bad coaching. And there was this stat: Only 4 teams in the Super Bowl era have given up 18 point second half leads in losing efforts in the playoffs. 2 OF THOSE 4 TEAMS ARE THE ANDY REID COACHED KANSAS CITY CHIEFS.
THAT'S BAD COACHING.
