The fact is Toney gained zero advantage with this alignment, which is the entire point of a penalty in the first place.
The first offensive offsides penalty in Reid's long career happens to come with under two minutes to play in the fourth quarter of what amounts to a playoff game. And it happens in the same season in which the Chiefs have been repeatedly held to a different standard than the rest of the league when it comes to alignment/offsides penalties.
A lot of our fans "hate to blame the refs" but let's be real here. Refs can absolutely determine outcomes against two evenly-matched teams.
I'm with Andy Reid on this one. I think that guy has seen a thing or two, and he RARELY says a word about the refs.

He was blatantly offsides and the NFL has made offensive players lining up offsides a point of emphasis this season... this was like the 11th or 12th offensive offsides call this season.
Instead of crying about the refs, Andy should hold his WR's more accountable for their embarrassing play.
