Reid's style finally caught up with him

[Mr. Laz]

Colts game all over again

we go into the 3rd quarter with the lead and control of the game.

Andy gets nervous or stupid ... shuts it down, playing not to lose. Tells the defense that it's all your problem.

Other team fights and scratches their way back for the win.

Andy called the same ****ing plays back then. He thinks that sideways passing etc runs the clock and protects the lead. All it really does is give the other team a chance. Just like the prevent defense does a lot of the time.

If the final offensive possession took place in the 1st or 2nd quarter, then I can understand the play calls, as at that point you are just seeing how the defense reacts, possibly measuring the D up for some specific plays, etc.

But when your offense has to get one 1st down to win the game, has to pick up just 10 yards and the game is over, you call your 3 best plays designed to take advantage of the defenses aggressiveness. One that come to mind is the fake sweep opposite side pitch play. The LT and LG (or RG and RT) pull towards the short side, and the entire offensive lines sweeps that way, while the back takes 1 step that way, and then takes the naked pitch from the QB to the hopefully unprotected, vacant side of the field.

And you isolate your biggest mismatches. Run a drag route, or rub route and get Kelce matched up with a LB or CB. Or get the fastest player for either team, Tyreek Hill, and put him on the wide side of the field, with your bunch set on the short side, which would make safety help lean towards the short side of the field, and Hill takes a hard step or two like he is going deep, and then runs a hard slant. The DB has to honor his speed, which is all the cushion Hill needs to separate.

But whatever you call, your big offensive weapons have to be on the field.

3 plays to get 10 yards, and you have 2 players that are as close to indefensible as anyone in the NFL, and this is what Alex "Gigabytes" Smith & Andy "Offensive Genius" Reid come up with:

1st and 10 from the KC 25*(3:12) S.Ware left end to KC 30 for 5 yards

(BEFORE THIS CARRY WEST HAD 3 CARRIES FOR A TOTAL OF 2 YARDS)

2nd and 5 from the KC 30*(2:25) C.West up the middle to KC 33 for 3 yards. West finishes the game with 4 carries for 5 yards. That's a 1.25 yards per carry. Tyreek Hill had 1 carry for 68 yards.

3rd and 2 from the KC 33*(2:00) A.Smith right end to KC 33 for no gain

4th and 2 from KC 33*(1:16) D.Colquitt punts 42 yards to TEN 25, Center-J.Winchester, fair catch by M.Mariani.

We had to get 10 yards in 3 plays, and neither Hill nor Kelce were involved. Kelce finished with 3 receptions for 41 yards. That's 13.7 yards per catch.

Pathetic. Disgusting. Embarrassing. Idiotic. Moronic. Baffling.

Reid went full Reid.
