Just haven't been playing very well recently

I'm not very good at making detailed assessments of the teams flaws. Others are better at that, and I'm sure they'll be doing so over the next few days here.

My concern is we just look very flat going into the playoffs, which isn't really the norm for the Chiefs in recent years. Reid and the coaching staff seem to "figure it out" midway or late into the season, and our team starts looking solid and cohesive going into the playoffs. This year just doesn't have that feeling. Very bad football teams are making us look bad and work for these wins, and we look very flawed and average.

We're 13-3, but we really don't feel like it. And we've seen this kind of team before around the league. The one with the impressive looking W-L record, but gets it's teeth knocked out in the first round by a team that has a better gameplan and just wants it more. I don't want that to be us, but it's hard to think otherwise when we come out and play like we have. Dunno what else to say.

It's got to be exhausting.

Not making an excuse, just saying it's a possible explanation for what seems un-explainable.

Reid isnt a crack the whip, kill your veterans coach.

Buffalo's McDermott is closer to that but there is price to be paid for running through the wall every week.

Andy reid teams historically play down to their competition. We also typically play up to better competition as well.


We will be fine.
