We were literally dropping like flies.

The Titans game is just so crazy because Kelce was wrecking them. And then Reid has a whopping 2 offensive drives before suddenly the Titans have the lead.
One of those drives is a missed FG that ices the game. The other ends when Smith puts the ball right into Orson Charles chest and he drops it. Just flat drops it. Guy shouldn't have been on the field anyway but Kelce was hurt so because Reid STUCK TO HIS GAMEPLAN he was still trying to get balls to the TE and he drew up an easy pitch and the guy flat ****ing drops the ball.
And I'm sure after his first drive ends in a missed FG, his 2nd drive ends in a drop and now the Titans have taken the lead before his 3rd drive - he's just looking to milk the clock. Clearly that was just more stupid clock management by Andy Reid.
It's just absolute nonsense. The Steelers playoff loss wasn't on Andy Reid either; Sutton has a LB covering Brown, the zebras throw a flag to protect Harrison on a play that had been happening to Hali all night, Smith runs away from a phantom blitz and fails to hit the best deep ball receiver in the league when there's nobody within 15 yards of him. But hey, we lost so I'll just say "we lost a lead against Pittsburgh" and nothing else as evidence that Reid's game management is poor then I won't bother to defend what actually happened on the field.
But really - he ran the ball on 2nd and 6 once with a 2 score lead in the 4th quarter. Stupid asshole.
