Or they were too coward to try it? Because there's no way he could have been worse than Thuney imo.

its cowardice. theres no excuses. you could even see humphries standing with his helmet on visibly SHOCKED he wasn't getting the call to go in.

the media needs to be on andy's ass over this. this is the biggest ****ing game. everything these guys work for - and you're unwilling to even TRY a switch up as your qb is murdered on live television?

**** that pussy ass shit.

Smith was perfectly fine last year and they let him walk. And with all the bitching about OBJ he would have been just fine compared with what we had this year too.

Sometimes you gotta stop bitching about some positions when they are as good as they will get because the alternative can, as we saw, be infinitely worse.

What really hurts to think about is Reid’s initial script was to not run the ball at all. He’s not stupid or that stubborn. He knew that was doomed. So he knew we were gonna have our hands full on the inside. I still can’t entirely comprehend why there wasn’t even a contingency to consider rotating thuney back to LG. I love Reid to death but it’s not out of character for this decision to be very largely driven by wanting continuity.

he was decent last year, not great. but a lot better than Thuney at LT.

Guys, this really isn't the time to play I Told You So.

Thuney got wrecked last night. It is what it is. I wanted DJ in there as bad as anyone but it didn't happen. This team is a dynasty, you gotta take the bad with the good because it's the good still outweighs the bad by a country mile.

It’s just therapy bro, and your take is real good therapy.

Or he was just too stubborn to admit it. Everyone has their blind spot. That made no sense last night. Not even one drive to give it a shot, even when the game was lost, you would have thought you would want to see how it looks if you even think you want to try to sign him.

Maybe they have written him off, but if they do resign him, even for depth, it will make last night seem even more idiotic.

I know a lot of these posts were made in the heat of battle but shit. Calling this the worst signing of the year is laughable. He was signed in December off and ACL. We should not be in a position where that's where we need to find a LT. We've taken decent, even good shots at T in the draft. But it was just poor planning to come into the season counting on Morris and Kingsley. It may have been a little different story if Morris stays healthy but still. And maybe Morris work at right tackle is what tricked them. He looked completely different at RT. Maybe they expected LT to eventually click and it just didn't.

We paid 6mil that we could have rolled over onto the next year's cap for someone who played 3 quarters of actual football. In hindsight, I don't think you can get any worse.

I was all for it when we signed him but the results have been laughable.

I agree that the results have been laughable, but I'm pretty sure his cap hit was only $2.5m. It could have been worth up to $4.5m with incentives, but it's hard to imagine he would have hit any of them unless some of them were just "on the roster for a Super Bowl" kinds of things.

There's no way this guy was good enough to start 10 days after we signed him or whatever it was, but suddenly so bad that Andy couldn't try something, anything, to plug the leak while his OL was getting butt****ed in the biggest game he'll ever coach in.

There's too many times in his career where Andy stands there like a deer in the headlights while his OL shits itself. Osi Umenyiora nearly breaking DT's single game sack record against the Eagles being Exhibit A. He only made the move to Thuney at LT after Mahomes came back to the sideline cussing and yelling after Morris gave up another instasack. For all we know that move never even happens if Mahomes doesn't react like he did.

Andy has a ton of flaws that have been covered up by Mahomes. Hence why he was fired by the Eagles.

Loyalty to bad coaches
Bad time management
Forgetting to run
Refusal to change the o line once the season starts

Well we may have a chance to see how much mahomes elevates Reid when he retires and mahomes plays the twilight years with a new coach.
