Granted, he'll probably be able to draw something up off of that play (that's what makes him so remarkable, the ability to blow someone's mind and then use THAT to blow their mind again down the road), but you still hate seeing something like that get used in a game that should've been a massacre.
If Reid needs to keep scoring, he'll keep scoring. But if he gets up 3 scores, he's going to stop doing anything exotic that would put concepts on tape for opposing coaches to dissect.
Unless they're just playing some sad-sack team that can get beat by a 'base' gameplan because they're just being physically abused (i.e. the Jets), they'll put it in cruise and coast to a 17-24 lead even on their best days.

Very true with Andy’s mentality. He’s not a ‘Run Up The Score’ kind of guy, especially not against one of his former assistants like Harbaugh. Same thing with Nagy last year. Chiefs dominated the Bears, but you could tell Andy was holding back.
