Hate RPO. Are the only SB winner to use it? I think so.

I am really starting to hate EB, he just doesn't have it. The offense is stale, teams know what we're going to do. Get rid of him and bring in a young fresh mind to throw some wrinkles into the team.

So much this.

Unfortunately this thread is a moot point, at least as far as hoping they'll change, because I think it's pretty clear by now that Reid/Bienemy are incredibly stubborn and have no interest in trying to change. You'd think there would be a clear plan and connection between the team building strategy and their offensive strategy (i.e. building a powerful run blocking OL with clear pass blocking deficiencies, maybe switch to a power run game and some more traditional offensive concepts) but that doesn't appear to be the case. They're going to keep doing what they're doing because that's what they do, for better or worse. It certainly works a lot of the time, but we have over a season of evidence now that the offense hasn't quite been the same for the most part since 2020 and they seemingly refuse to adapt.

It's BORING, you dumb mother****er.

If it's ENTERTAINMENT (watch the Amazon halftime yesterday, they say about Tua's injury "these guys put their bodies on the line to entertain us.")

So ****ing ENTERTAIN ME.

This offense USED to be EXCITING two years ago, you were on the EDGE OF YOUR SEAT wondering "what will they spin next?"

Now?

"Hope it's not a sack or a turnover. Oh...RPO. run out of the shotgun loses a yard. Again."

YAWN
*wet fart*

No one wants to come over and watch the team lose to the Colts because CJ called Matt Ryan a dumb cracker statue.

It's.
Not.
Fun.
To.
Watch.

How come that EXTREMELY SIMPLE concept is so hard for YOU to understand?

Did you eat lead paint chips when you were a kid?

You from Flint MI?

"He we are now, entertain us..."

This is the point I was trying to make.

Thank you.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this.

I would settle for Kareem Hunt

The Eagles did it

It has absolutely become stale and predictable, just like the Wildcat and the Pistol and all the other gimmick offenses that have come and gone like farts in the wind. This one lasted a little longer and was quite effective for a good stretch, but it simply is not fooling anyone anymore. It also doesn't help that we have a cabinet full of average to below average JAG running backs that no defense remotely fears. That's probably the biggest issue overall.

Andy has evolved many times in the past, so I'm not sure what's stopping him this time. I truly hope it's not complacency, and I have no reason to believe Reid is ready to phone it in based on all we know about him. If it's because EB has too much control over what we're doing, then that shit needs to be put to a stop immediately and I don't give a damn if it pisses EB off. Put the guy up in the booth with a fake headset and let him ride out his contract.

The most concerning point of view is if they truly think this is the offense Patrick needs to run to be most effective, which I have to trust they aren't foolish enough to believe. It really is a mystery at this point, my only guess is Reid is giving EB and this scheme one more year and then will revamp everything this offseason since this year was kind of viewed as a "retooling" year anyway.

I feel like this is happening. Colts game looked like Andy believed the team talent would make up for bad calls and it was near a guaranteed win so he let EB call the game. Would also help tie in with how Mahomes went after EB at half.

The RPO gives Mahomes a TON of control. In fact, it's probably a big reason we don't run the ball as often.

Why does KC need RPO to give Mahomes a ton of control and take advantage of his skills?

Why can't he just line up, survey the field, and audible?

I've always been puzzled why KC didn't use more no huddle. They seemed good at it.

Maybe my memory is off, but didn't KC use a hell of a lot more pre-snap motion when Smith was here? Would love to get back to that for one thing.

One of the talking heads (I think maybe Chris Simms) said that the Chiefs aren't using motion effectively. It's basically just a way for them to determine man vs. zone and they're just kind of doing it robotically.
