As a head football coach, situational football is key.
#1, you don't call a ****ing play where all patterns are not in the endzone. Not content to just **** that up, not only do we have a player whose route does not go into the endzone, but that player just happens to be Tyreek ****ing Hill.
Seems like anyone with a pulse would want this guy in the ez. I guarantee you if that's Clyde or McKinnon out there, Mahomes isnt tempted to give them a shot.
This is who Andy Reid is.
He just saw how nearly devastating FOUR points left on the field was against Buffalo and still turned his nose up at 3 free ones.
Here's the bottom line.
You had a shot to the ez. They defended it.
You'd like to take another play at 5 seconds, but because you are Andy Reid, and you cannot handle the complexities of simply throwing your challenge flag, and NOTBURNING A TIMEOUT BEFOREHAND, you yourself have taken away your opportunity to confidently take another play there with 5 seconds.
Recognize how your ineptitude has cost you, take the three points at home, and carry a 14 point lead into the lockers, to receive the ball in the third.
It's simple shit guys. It really is. Just not for Andy Reid.
Thus loss knocks another serious dent in the legacy of Andy Reid. Another 18 point collapse with the best player in the world leading your team.
Had he lost against the Bills, it's Arrowhead kicker curse, with the only head scratcher being 1st and 10 from the 16 and the ball is taken out Mahomes hands in favor of putting it in Blake Bell's.
This falls heavily on Andy Reids shoulders.
