Reid's timeout at the end of the 1st half

[Ron Swanson]

was unbelievably stupid. Maybe they would've scored a TD anyway, but I doubt it. What was he thinking?

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Well if we had corners that would turn around and look for ball maybe they don’t score either

The Pats were comfortable going into half 7-0. They were trying to run out the clock. Reid should have swallowed his timeout and been incredibly happy going down 7-0.

This. I actually couldn't believe the Patriots weren't going to try to score there, but it sure didn't look like it as they ran all running plays up the gut and did not bother to use any of their 3 TOs. So Reid calls a TO on 3rd and medium, and that apparently changed the Patriots' minds. Dumb decision to ever give Brady the chance to score more points before a half. Reid's clock management has been an issue his whole coaching career, and it looks as if he has learned nothing.

I agree. I thought the same at the time. It is incredibly tempting with Mahomes at QB, but with his defense, not prudent.

The Pats were ready to concede the half at 7-0.

You had to be smart to realize 7-0 halftime score was a MONSTER win for the Chiefs considering how awful the first half went.

Andy simply isn’t smart enough and couldnt process the situation.

Yeah, that late touchdown was a backbreaker, especially when combined with not getting a score on the previous drive. I would've been thrilled to be down only 7-0 at that point.

What if we stopped them and went into the half 7-7 or 7-3?

There's nothing wrong with a time out there.

Have you seen our defense?

We had allowed just 7 points up to that point.

It was the dumbest call of the year for Reid. Go in down by 7 because the defense wasn't going to stop them again. Once that timeout was called there was ZERO chance the defense wasn't going to give up a score.

Huh? Only reason they got that score is cause our players absolutely shit the bed the next play and let up 40 yards. They were still in run the clock mode even after the TO. Only in hindsight can you say they shouldn't have taken the TO. If we stop the screen after 5 yards, no one cares.

The Chiefs just played one of the worst halves of football you'll ever see. Until their last drive of the half they had how many NEGATIVE yards of offense? Mahomes wasn't even close on the majority of his throws and he just overthrew Williams by 5 yards who was on his own island for one of the easiest TD's you could ask for and then promptly took a 15 yard sack to take them out of FG range.

Thank your lucky stars you were only down 7 and go into halftime. Then come out in the 2nd half with some semblance of a plan.

And you don't give Brady any reason to get fired up right before the. I Reid doesn't take the TO there, the clock probably melts away to about 25 seconds before the Patriots even run their 3rd down play. So let the clock run, see if they make the 1st down. If not, call a TO to have a chance to return a punt and maybe run a couple of plays to get in FG range.

I was screaming at the TV for Reid not to call a TO there, and then he did. Cost him a precious 7 points.

[AussieChiefsFan]

Or if they just let Butker do his thing and not punt from the damn 35
