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.

Here’s the warning… ITS IN THE ****ING RULE BOOK.. and you can’t be that far offsides and it won’t get called.. I look for Andy and Patrick to walk back their comments in their pressers…
