Cause it takes that much longer to drop a red flag?

Reid was slow to challenge the play and had to take a timeout to have enough time to do it.

Alright so I think this is a classic case of a handful of Chiefs fans have really good connections and hearing some primo rumors that may legitimately be circulating around One Arrowhead Drive, but it's almost entirely conjecture and hearsay without a single independent verification.

I'm sure a lot of the described events happen, which is EB and Mahomes getting into it and coaches and players having to break it up. National football reporters have been pretty consistent describing Bienemy's lackluster interviews and seeming lack of preparation for them. And I'm certain at this point that EB and Reid worked out an agreement that allowed Bienemy to call the plays all last year. I think we all picked up on that.

But there's a lot in here that's just silly. Mahomes is not a coach-killer. There's no earthly way EB gets to trump Reid with offensive play designs or playcalls if they disagree. And there's that one exchange that seemingly happens in the helmet speaker where Mahomes tells EB to "call the play or I will," but that doesn't make sense because Mahomes can't speak into that speaker, it's a one-way communication system. And let's not forget this is the "reporting" team that brought us the absolute abomination that was the Tyreek Hill "reporting" a couple years back, so everything should be kept at arms length.

So I'm happy to take the middle road here. This particular "reporting" account is simply not reliable enough to base any rock solid opinions on the Kansas City Chiefs. But it is high-quality rumor mongering that would be home at my water cooler any day, and personally I love reading rumors.

Andy was too nice to EB and didn't overrule him enough.

If Bienemy leaves it’s because that was the plan and not because of some smoking gun that got Clay everything he wanted.

This whole timeout story is a bit of bullshit and also immaterial.

First, KC took a final timeout at 13 seconds. Nobody on the sideline, or the 3 people you report to be in his headset ever told him the correct number of timeouts? Cincy took a timeout after the PI penalty with 9 seconds. Nobody - Reid, Mahomes, Kafka or EB knew the correct timeout situation at that point? The tv announcers were talking about it.

Second, the play was designed to go to Kelce quickly in the end zone. Most likely a throw on the high side so that if Kelce doesn't come down with it, it sails OOB killing the clock. Kelce was open on the play. Mahomes made the wrong read and got greedy.

Here is a link that gives a good view of Kelce on the play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFXNJf9vhqY


Also it was reported by the sideline reporter (Tafoya maybe?) that Mahomes was talking to Ried asking for one more shot. Mahomes went to Reid, not EB.

So there's allegedly a major, year long riff on the offensive side of the ball and the supposed issue is the OC whose contract is up at the end of the season.

This riff is SO BAD that we allow Kafka to take an OC job with the Giants instead of hiring him to take over here and dump EB.

And now a few weeks later we may let EB walk anyway.

Makes zero sense.

I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Bieniemy, and you curse the Mahomes. You have that luxury.

You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Bieniemy's firing, while tragic, probably saved playcalls. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves playcalls.

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that coach, you need me on that coach.

We use words like sources, breaking, exclusive. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending a franchise. You use them as a punchline.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very reports that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, otherwise, I suggest you pick up a keyboard, and start a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
