Yeah, Chiefs fans absolutely need to get off their high horses regarding Reid. He's a damn successful coach and with an elite QB, the sky is the limit.
I swear no one looks beyond the surface when evaluating Reid. They see a couple playoff chokes and want to pin 100% blame on him. Let's forget what he did to GET us those huge leads in those games. If people still haven't figured it out, this team is physically outmatched in the trenches in almost every game. Our QB is always under more pressure than the opposing QB, opposing QBs have all day to pick apart the secondary and their backs have bigger holes to run through. That's not exactly easy to overcome. Yet he often has. He's won what...80% of games in the last 2.5 years? With a physical disadvantage in the trenches in the majority? That's pretty impressive assholes.
The Chiefs built a big lead over the Titans with cleverness and scripted plays. Not by lining up and physically imposing their will. When they run out of scripted trick plays in the 2nd half, it becomes much more difficult vs superior linemen.
Let's also not forget that it took a LOT of pathetic luck, bad calls and flukery to lose the Titans and Colts games. People also tend to forget that this was a freaking 2-14 team the year he arrived. Reid has done very well with what he's had to work with over his career. He could and should have more playoff wins, but there is little reason to doubt they will come.
