Reid’s nine playoff teams in Philadelphia and his four teams in Kansas City have gone 32-22 before their bye week and 67-22-1 after.
If you isolate his time in Kansas City, Reid is 16-10 before the bye and 18-9 after. That’s a modest difference, but the collapse of 2013 is the outlier — done with a thin roster that wore down, and against an incredibly imbalanced schedule that served backup quarterbacks early and playoff teams late. Take that out, and he’s 7-10 before the bye and 16-4 after.
Put it all together: Reid’s Philadelphia playoff teams and his four Chiefs teams have won almost 60 percent of their games before a bye and 74 percent after. That’s the difference between a team that wins nine or 10 games in a season, and one that wins 11 or 12.
