Dear Andy, protect your quarterback. Signed, everyone.
 

Andy Reid. Lot of ways to describe this man.

Innovator. Genius. Guru.

So how does a man deserving of these adjectives, who has coached for two decades plus, guiding now two separate franchises to host a hat trick of title games not understand that exposing the very reason your team transcends all others is UNFATHOMABLY stupid?

3rd n 1. Big bruising back in the game playing well. Best arm on the planet running the offense. Lets not hand it off though, let's call a designed run exposing our qb to a free shot that gets his head ripped off.

Why?

Mahomes isn't going to back off from the call, and the guy puts a bullseye on his back enough with his own scrambles down field. Its YOUR JOB to protect your quarterback.

Why the **** are you calling designed qb running plays? He was already dinged and limping around. You cannot honestly believe that THIS was the only way you could get one yard on this trash defense.

15 is the reason KC is favored in every contest.

15 covers MANY of your warts as a play caller and time manager.

15 is the guy who saved your coaching legacy, bringing you a championship that eluded you for years, because your other quarterbacks could not overcome your post season pant shitting.

Why you choose to put 15 in harms way intentionally is beyond any sane line of thinking. It isnt like you have an o line that can protect him. You have a former #1 and a bunch of JAGS up front trying their best to just not look like a reerun trying to **** a doorknob.

Every time he drops back, he has to run for his life already, so to just throw him into the teeth of the defense, intentionally, is simply unfathomably stupid.

Take a look at your incredible 3 point performance in the second half against the terrible Browns defense. That's how far an innovative, guru genius like you is going to get with Chad ****ing Henne.

So please. For all of us, pal.

Take care of your ****ing quarterback.

Does this go for his touchdown run, too?

And when he was diving head first into defenders during the Super Bowl?

It's a contact sport. I know where you're coming from, but babying Mahomes is neutering Mahomes.

Wallcrawler,

Eat **** pie, queer.

Signed,

Everyone

Any Ree sux!!!

Fia Any Ree!!!!!

Reid will be cautious until the Super Bowl, assuming Mahomes is cleared.

I expect lots of fast passes where Mahomes carves up the center of the field.

Signed everyone? I'm not ****ing signing this. Not blaming Andy ****ing Reid for this injury. Jfc.

The guy has to run enough as is on designed passes. As said, He's not backing off any call. You have running backs to get "tough yards". They're not called tough yards for nothing.

Mahomes throws the ball. He's the best on the planet. So until you have someone behind him that can do what he can, you leave the route running, and the plowing headlong into the teeth of the defense to the guys on your roster paid to ****ing do that.

Did you have this same problem on his TD run? It was the same play.

Mahomes has just had some weird fluke injuries on normal plays. It's not even like it was a collision concussion.

Reid won the game with that awesome 4th and 1 call... however, he does need to wisen up a bit with running Mahomes. If Patrick runs from a scramble fine, but the option play needs to be shelved when he is limping around already. Pretty dumb imo. They also need to shore up the interior of the line in the upcoming draft. They really need to protect the franchise, but without taking away his creativity.

Q

Already read this in the Pete thread.

Mods, can we merge dumb threads to keep the lounge pristine?

It's not his play style, dude. Part of what makes him great. Reid can't do shit about that

Dumb. It’s football. Freak injuries happen.

Yeah, it was just as risky. Exposing Mahomes intentionally to hits is stupid. Hes exposed enough on normal pass plays.

At least on the scoring play it got points. 3rd n1 and we lost Patrick and didnt even get the ****ing first.

If running your qb is the only way you know how to get a yard, you go some serious problems.
