Reid's conservative play calling and the defense were issues.
Also, while we shouldn't have gone conservative, we still could have simultaneously drained the play clock every snap which we didn't. Milkman said we let some 3:30 left on the clock by not doing so.

just adding in.. not fighting your other comments..
Andy assumed that the KC defense would not allow 5 TDs in the second half.. and assumed that 4 of those 5 TDs allowed wouldn't have all been given up in 2 minutes or less.
It was a fair and reasonable assumption, imho. No defense should ever collapse in such epic and unprecedented fashion.
