If we could have an improvement right now with the Chiefs...

He's been patently predictable in those situations.

I can only think of one play near the goal line (against Houston iirc) where we did spread them out and had all kinds of motion and shifts... lo and behold JC ran in basically untouched.

Better scheme would certainly help, but i still hate this ineffectual line... if they could just do one thing right it'd help tremendously.

I've been saying since game one that this offensive line is struggling (if not outright ineffective) in the interior. But in Game Ten, Reid should know the strengths and limitations of his offensive line and adjust accordingly.

His playcalling in goal line situations (and often in the Red Zone, period) have been uncreative and at times, excruciating to watch. While they certainly have issues with the receivers and tight ends (and QB ball delivery), Reid hasn't been helping matters much.

He seems to be coaching as if he's got Jackson, Maclin, Shady and Celek instead of Bowe, Avery, Charles and Fasano. In other words, he's not calling plays suitable for his personnel.

Its true, he hasn't been very creative down there, i expected better from him in that regard.

I think it was peter kings article that said Reid walked into meetings with a spring in his step and Pedersen and Childress have bags under their eyes. I think those two serve a much bigger purpose than people realize. But in the end, players have to execute.

maybe Reid has decided to pull back and give him some time and delegate more.

If that is the case then Pederson is not getting the job done


our basics are shit ... no excuse for that
