Reid is a terrible chess player

[davewan]

Andy Reid is apparently incapable of thinking several moves ahead. As an NFL head coach, he should have been able to quickly think through what he would have done if he had the ball at the goal line in a tie game with 2:30 to go and 4 downs to score. He should have been able to easily deduce that he would do exactly what Cincinnati did. But he didn't. And that's absolutely incredible.

Sadly, it's clear that he has no idea that his drop dead core philosophy should be, "If you're going to beat me, it's not going to be because my best player was standing on the sidelines, it's going to be because you stopped him while he was on the field."

Because Reid could not bring himself to do what was necessary - in other words, to let the other team score - to get his best player back on the field with time on the clock to win the game, he permitted Cincinnati to win that game. It was HIS failure and his alone.

It's not a question of not competing on defense if you let the other team score. It's a question of what in that situation is your best chance to win. And the Chiefs' best chance to win wasn't to stop Cincinnati. They were going to score. The question was how much time - if any - would be on the clock with they did. The Chiefs' best chance to win was to get Mahomes back on the field as fast as possible, no matter the cost.

No matter how big a steaming pile of dogsh*t the officials were, no matter how stupid Spagnuolo was in how he failed to stop Chase, no matter the holding call on the kick return touchdown or Tyreke dropping the ball in the first half...everything comes down to Reid's lack of a philosophy that says if he's going to lose, it's not going to be with his best guy standing on the sidelines.

Hm.....hard to say!



Good ****ing God you guys are dumb.

AT THE TIME OF THOSE LOSSES DID YOU THINK REID WAS THE BEST HEAD COACH IN CHIEFS HISTORY?

No you didn't.

It doesn’t matter. Reid is the best coach or 2nd best coach at worst to Hank Stram in KC history.

Stram likely gets extra credit for being very much an innovator in the early NFL and also whipping ass in the AFL before the merger.

I don’t dislike Marty but Reid is hands down better.

But you only think that because we drafted Mahomes. Without Mahomes I very much doubt that you would still have that opinion.

If you don’t count the year we won a Super Bowl, and the year we made it back to the Super Bowl the following year, then Andy’s time with the Chiefs starts to look somewhat lackluster

[Curé]

we would've won a super bowl with alex smith cuz the nfl script writers wanted to throw us a bone. but that's it. we'll never win another. the refs will see to it.

If you count nothing good it looks bad.

Nailed it.

it was "since Hank Stram"

you could make an argument for either one as the best KC coach, I wasn't around during the Stram era so I can't put much input on that. I watched the 90's Chiefs and was super die hard about it back then. Became a fan when my family moved to Kansas and Joe Montana was the only QB I even heard of and just started watching. There was a lot of sad times during the Marty era, conservative playcalling, legendary defenses and just epic choke jobs. I recently rewatched that Elvis Grbac performance in a playoff game, needed to score a TD and he's doing nothing but dumping off for 3 yards each play. Absolutely garbage.

It goes deeper than that. Reid actually has a losing record if you ignore the games he won. Paper Tiger?

[notorious]

Reid builds for the long term.

By him putting the game on the defense's shoulders it built towards the future.

In the playoffs there is going to be a moment where the defense digs a little deeper because they know the HC has their back.

It was terrible, on the spot strategy , though.
