The defensive performance against Cincinnati is probably on the 5% tail of a distribution of outcomes. If we played them at home again I would not expect to hold them to 10. |

My viewpoint really hasn't changed. We have a super star QB who can beat any of these other teams, for real. I think we can beat the Steelers or Patriots or Chargers. The problem is I'm not real confident we can string three games like that together against playoff caliber teams. We need the offense to play out of their mind or we need a 2006 Colts situation where Berry coming back lifts this defense and they play better in the playoffs, kind of like Bob Sanders did for the Colts. No one is saying they need to be the 85 Bears, but if Mahomes gives them a double digit lead they have to hold it.

It's not like it's this game in isolation. That last drive has been vintage Reid. In almost every game where we've been behind, we had an outstanding 4th quarter. In half of the games where we've been ahead, we've been borderline terrible on offense in the 4Q (Denver game 2, Jax, AZ, SF, and for the most part... SD). You can call that a coincidence. But history shows that Andy Reid coaches totally different when we have a lead. |

With 3:49 to go, you put the ball in Mahomes' hands and get a first down or two. THEN you consider burning clock. Giving Mahomes 1 chance instead of 3 means they cared a lot more about burning the clock than they did extending the drive. That's what you call playing not to lose. |

He didn't call a WR screen. Reek ran a hitch. The pass was six yards down the field.
They got the yards back from the penalty which is what every NFL team does in that situation. The OL blew the third down. Shit, the OL blew first down, too. Reid isn't at fault here.

People are complaining about a 13 play drive that took nearly 8 minutes and ended with a TD that gave us a 98% chance of winning?? And Reid was calling short passes because Mahomes has constantly been under pressure the last two weeks.
I didn't find anything wrong with Reid's playcalling in the 4th quarter. |

The last drive isn’t on Reid. Players didn’t execute for dick there at the end, especially up front on the line.

Mahomes just took the decent gain to set up third and not totally unmakeable, because that's what almost every QB does in that situation. Mahomes has converted enough third and 8s. But he can't do it when Jeff Allen dumps a DT in his lap when his back foot hits. Maybe Reid should have been MORE conservative and called a screen there, they were killing LAC all night.

If we don't want to blame Reid for the 4Q, then we have to acknowledge that we have a huge 4Q problem when we hold a lead. We've been consistently outstanding in the 4Q when we're behind. We've been borderline terrible on offense in the 4Q in half of the games where we've held a lead. Is that just a magic coincidence? I don't think it is. It's a pattern we've seen for 6 years under Reid. That 4Q felt very much like Mahomes in handcuffs. And I think he's too good of a QB to need to do that. |

After some time to reflect and calm down, I have come to the conclusion that game sucked donkey balls.

That's wrong. Kelce and Robinson are going down the field there. He could have held the ball and tried something deeper.
He just decided to take the cheap yards. That's not on Reid at all.
