Annual Eat Crow Thread - 2019 Edition

[Buehler445]

This one will feel better because we're freaking SUPER BOWL CHAMPS (That never gets old)

But we all have some crow to eat.

I don't remember too many flaming hot takes I had but here goes:

Frank Clark - He did suck ass when I was saying it, but dude earned his money. Well done, sir.

Spagnoulo - I didn't go crazy flaming the guy, but I didn't really like the hire. Especially when we were soft bitches against the AFCS.

Mathieu - Again, I wasn't flaming the guy, but I've never thought this guy was the answer at anything. All the way back to college. Wrong-o Douche! This guy also earned that money. Couple that with the article about Reid and Spags turning over the leadership keys to him, my goodness. Dude earned that shit.

Reid - I've always appreciated Reid, specifically because we came from the Squimin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards/Scott Franchise Killer Pioli eras. But I didn't think he could get it done. Too much loyalty. Too many management errors that will get you beat. Too much Because Chiefs. Load that plate up!

CB group in general - I thought these guys would get us beat. YUM

Other Football Crow

Lamar Jackson - I didn't think he'd be as effective as he was. I still think it's a losing proposition, but he deserves some credit I didn't give him.

Dorsey - Maybe it's not all his fault, but I figured he'd make something work there. Obviously there is some level of it's not me, it's you thing going.

Kliff Kingsbury - I know it's a long way from actually doing anything but I thought there was a fair chance he'd be justifiably fired by midseason. He may still end up being nothing, but he made it farther than I'd have guessed.

Drew Lock - At least looks competent out there. That's far different than I expected.

What do you guys have. I'm sure there is a lot of crow to eat. Load up boys!

Mine would have to be:

1. I was doubting Veach and his last two offseasons. At the time the run d looked like it wasn't fixed, spags looked like Bob 2.0 and Frank and HB were not doing much to live up to the contracts. I think there was some more but i have forgotten. That's probably what a championship does to you, which is great. I was wrong on it all.


2. Andy Reid - after the The Titans loss I was wavering on him a little. I didn't completely want him gone or anything but I started to look at him less positive. Some of that was coupled with the run defense being shit and him keeping bob on the team for a year longer than her should. I was wrong there. I want Andy to stay here until he retires.

The only post this idiot made all year was a preseason stat and I’m sure it’s the only thing keeping him alive right now! Come back to play bud, we’ve got some fresh meals for you in this thread.

But I bet they dont have the balls to admit it.,..

That's one thing I was not on board with. I liked Alex, thought he was the best option at the time. As soon as he shit his pants int he Pit playoff game I was done with him. When they drafted Pat I wanted him to play in that Playoff game vs the Titans. I said it back then before he was a starter. If we would have played him that game it's a win and who knows how deep we would have gone.

I still think Reid should have pulled the plug on Smith during that game.

Dude was clutch af in the road to the SB.

Sorensen was one guy I was right on. I’ve consistently said he’s not a starter but there is a place for him on this and most defenses.
