We were fortunate enough that the TD that should have been was taken off the board when their receiver was in bounds. The fact of the matter is it didn’t work because once again Andy’s team was not prepared. It’s why we lost to them last time (hello Dee Ford). I like aggressive Andy, but there’s a time and a place. Going for it early in Denver last year on 4th and 1 on your own 35 in Denver to start the game? No problem. 4th and 19 in that situation? Take the loss there. We came uncomfortably close to losing that game bc of that **** up. We won so it’s not a big deal. All I ask is please, for the love of God...don’t go for 4th and long again unless you have to.

We could’ve lost that game to number of things. That play, Mahomes sucking in the second half, Kelce fumbled, Reid’s ability to turtle up when he’s ahead. But the defense won that game for sure

Kelce came uncovered on a dagger play that Mahomes just didn't unload. And it wasn't as though Reid was just running the ball up the gut every time, he dialed up pass plays even with his QB having trouble gripping the ball.

I think it's complete lunacy to say "Andy Reid didn't have his players prepared" - he absolutely did. Those guys hit the field ready to play thoroughly outclassed the Patriots. But a long-snapper didn't snap the ball to the right guy. Has any coach in the history of the game EVER not been responsible for every loss then? Because seriously, there's nothing Andy can do other than tell his snapper "Hey, listen to the playcall, bud..." You're gonna put a snapper ****ing up a fake on Andy as demonstrative of the team being 'unprepared' on a day the team writ large outplayed the Patriots by a significant margin? That's absurd.

The margin for error against that team, especially in NE, is very small. One **** up could bury you. That **** up put them back in the game. Despite us dominating them, that one error cascaded into a snowball effect that ultimately put them 5 yards from evening the score at 23 at the end. There were some miscommunications. Andy has to have the game plan outlined for his team so that shit doesn’t happen and everyone is on the same page. Something like that could be devastating next month. Fortunately we won.

You think he needed to put that on a !@#$ing whiteboard? This is the most baseline possibility imaginable. If on a play Reiter hears "Hut!", stands straight up and fires a ball into the linebackers chest, it would only be slightly stranger than the long-snapper missing the friggen call on a fake punt. Oh and buy the way - that's on TOUB! Again, if you're going to cite a long-snapper not snapping to the right guy as an indictment of Andy Reid, then there is literally not one single thing that has EVER gone wrong on a football field that you shouldn't be blaming on the head coach. Because you've changed your argument mid-stream. You've gone from 'this is tactically foolish' to 'Andy should've had his team ready' because both are easily dissected. It most assuredly was not foolish - if one guy does the easiest job that anyone on that field had, the play goes off huge and the Chiefs coast. And to say the team wasn't ready to play because Andy didn't go through and tell his long-snapper "hey - gonna need you to listen to the playcall today, m'kay?" is an even worse reach than that. You're essentially saying that the head coach of a team who went on the road and defeated the previously 10-2 defending world champions didn't have his team ready to play and was tactically inept. That's. ****ing. Insane. Reid had his guys ready to play. One guy missed a call - it happens. Reid made a brilliant and completely unexpected call there that opened up well, risky as it was. One guy missed the call. If your position is that every mistake by a player is a result of the head coach 'not having his guys ready' then I don't know what to tell you. And if your position is that every playcall needs to take into consideration that the most fundamental element of the game (literally the first thing that has to happen for the game to proceed) may just fail, then you should probably just take knees every play at that rate.

I don't even get how you forget to snap the ball to the right person. Does he have the strongest case of muscle memory ever? |
