But hey - other people say this so it must be true. I mean, nevermind that I'm positive that I know more about the Chiefs and the things they have done/not done over the last decade precisely because I don't follow 32 NFL teams for a living. Some ****ing glorified blogger named Steven repeated it and it got stuck on USA Today's aggregator so it must be true.

Plenty of that. But then plenty of grandpa Bob playing his good Ole prevent, which Id have to imagine has a lot of Reid's pawprints on it. And the jaw dropping idea of running Kareem hunt twice in the second half. And then there's the indy game where we once again went prevent, but more importantly went with an absurdly conservative offense after thrashing the colts the entire first half.
Sure Andy isn't entirely to blame. But it's always something. And this has been going on constantly before he even got here. Every playoff loss had a bizarre finish. We are the only team in modern history to lose once let alone twice from 18+ points. At some point you have to recognize the common trend. You could probably dissect every Marty playoff loss the same way too. With reasons and sometimes excuses. And in many cases, you can't pinpoint that one critical mistake he made except to acknowledge that after it happens over and over again, it's probably more than just a string of freak bad luck streaks.
