I concur.

But there are no excuses not to win now.

Depends on if you believe what Alex Smith said or not.

"Coach Reid is phenomenal at playing to his players strengths."

Something to that effect. If that is true,, then all of this worrying over throwing the ball 50 times a game, and abandoning the run game, is all a bunch of bullshit.

I just look at results, the bottom line. They had the dream team setup in Philly and Reid shat all over it. His methods have been figured out (obviously), by other teams. Having superior personnel didn't help him either. The RAGE OF THE NFL is ****ing scoring more points than your opponent. Reid's teams have had trouble doing this for multiple seasons now. The Eagles realized this and jettisoned his fat ass for new potential in Chip Kelly. Have fun with 8-8 (sure as **** not this season) bro.

So you really think Andy Reid is going to completely change his philosophy of how he runs an offense after 10 plus years?

Exactly. That is the move they made. They can't go back from it after a disastrous year and call it rebuilding. That'll make me hotter than a jalepeno pepper in a vat of spicy mayo.

Absolutely. I really do. Do I believe they will throw more than they pass? Sure. But I imagine it being a 55/45 pass to run ratio rather than a 70/30 pass to run......

welcome to the Hootie RIP Lounge where we talk all things Hootie

(oh and I seem to recall Hootie being banned in a thread just for kicks and that was about the last I heard from him)

You act as if he hasn't ever had a running back of Charles skillset before. He's had McCoy for the past few years.

I dont' think coaches change their stripes and I'm not excited about hiring a coach and immediately hoping he changes the things he does that were the reason you hired him.

He's never had a 70/30 pass to run ratio.

Lol, again my point that I'm trying to make is that successful teams stay on the fringe of NFL strategy, and don't retread the shit that other teams are doing. They forge their own path and go down it. This cookie cutter copy bullshit is not going to get you to the promised land. It will get you looking for another coach in three years.

No he was not. And he was not desired by many here either.

Like **** we will.

I agree with the last part of your post, but the rest is so wrong it is silly.

1. Taking the consensus #1 player in the draft who also happens to be an elite QB prospect when you need one at 1.1 is not taking a chance.

2. The Indy and Jeff George situation is different. They took a chance on another elite QB prospect in Peyton Manning. Prospects like him are very rare. They were at the right position at the right time to get him.

3. In spite of what some on here think Geno was nowhere near the prospect Manning or Bradford was.

4. Had we passed on a Luck or RGIII then your argument would have more merit. We did not. Geno is nowhere even close to their level.

5. We unfortunately got stuck with the #1 pick in the draft in a year when the QB class was far weaker than initially thought when that was by far our biggest need. Purely bad luck on our part.

6. I was a huge advocate to trade up for RGIII, some on here thought it was too risky. We passed on an elite QB prospect for Poe and Fisher so far.

7. To take a chance on a crappy prospect just to take a chance on one is foolish. There is a reason why Manuel was the first QB taken and it was near the end of the 1st round in spite of the fact many teams needed a QB.

They had a dream team set up, with an OFFENSIVE LINE COACH as the Defensive Coordinator. They signed guys and put them in positions that wouldn't work them.

For instance. They put Aso as a ZONE COVER CORNER, who spent his entire career making his living as a press man corner. They tried to put Cullen Jenkins, a 5 tech elephant end in the 3-4, as a dtackle, in a wide nine base, that completely wasted what he does best.

Yes, I know exactly why they failed in Philly. Andy Reid had far too much control. Something he no longer has. Dorsey has that power, and Andy Reid is thankful for that. If this were the VERY same situation with Andy Reid, he was running the entire show, I would be worried and sad for Chiefs fans.

There is a reason that after the Seahawks, took away Mike Holmgrens total power, got him a gm, and let him focus solely on Coaching, that he was able to get back to the super bowl. I see these things. They aren't that difficult to understand. And yes, the Chiefs will win 8 games this year. 2 more than that to be exact. 10-6..........BRO.

Sweet Dummy Hate. I stroked my Lil Chiefy today. He threw up on me.

IIRC, Reid has always had about a 55/45 pass to run ratio, maybe a bit higher but not by much.


I don't really forsee that to be any different, but they're going to pass to set up the run IMO, just as Andy Reid teams always have, and really, I'm fine with that.
