Do you still believe is Mahomes and our coaching staff?

It's like he refused to concede that Fangio's defense was taking away everything he thought would work. If he had accepted that and adapted or adjusted, maybe the outcome would've been different or, at the very least, less demoralizing.

I feel that's a major flaw with Andy Reid. He's so used to winning that he doesn't realize when he's beaten until it's too late.

Part of the problem was that Fangio's D didn't take away everything. In the play the obvious answer for the offense was there and time after time Pat didn't choose it or wasn't accurate. That's unbelievably rare - and I have no idea why. Multiple people, including Daniel who use to play in this offense, have stated that the obvious answers within the play were there and Pat didn't throw them the ball.

Sure, part of that is the ass O line play but the biggest part was Pat's performance. At some point Andy needed to run the football and he didn't. It's not about gaining yards - it's about Pat not getting killed and the o line not having to play the whole game pass blocking. It doesn't matter if you average 1 yard a run any more than it mattered that the Eagles couldn't get squat running. You can't just let a great pass rush T off on the QB.

Running for 1.5ypc does matter. If you can't run them out of their pass defense and you're constantly in 3rd and long, that makes it Infinitely harder on the passing game.

There wasn't any reason to run the ball. It wasn't going to help. It needs serious attention in the off-season.
