Chiefs Andy's Presser and Play calling - Page 5

tooge · 11-20-2018, 08:04 AM

Great game. I'm very encouraged moving forward with this team. Lost on the road, by 3 pts, to one of the best offenses in the league. And, had a chance to end it with a dropped INT and a drive with 1:50 to go. I'll take it.

However, Andy Reid mentioned he could've called better plays in the game, and I couldn't agree more. Particularly on the second from last drive. Chiefs get the ball back with 1:50 to go, down by 3 and all 3 timeouts, Rams have none. They get the ball to the 45 ish with a pass to Tyreek with about 1:20 left if I remember correctly, and still 3 timeouts and the clock stopped. They need maybe 20 yards to be in FG range, but obviously want a TD for the win.

Next play is the play where Mahomes is hit as he throws and it's picked by Peters. When the strength of the defense is the D line and it's rush, why not use the screen, draw, WR screens, bubbles, etc to work down the field instead of having Mahomes drop back with nothing but slow developing plays? I'm guessing that's what Andy is talking about. I know, you can second guess anything, but I was watching and thinking, don't try to get it all right here. Next play, game over. Frustrating. I'd think having Hunt in the mix at the end, with high percentage passes would have been the way to go rather than 5-7 step drop plays. Anyhow, great game. Chiefs gonna end up 14-2 with HVA throughout.

That being said, I trust the offense to drain the clock and still get a TD more than I trust the D to protect the lead afterwards. If Berry is back that would affect it as well. I would say with the Saints, I would really consider risking it by draining the clock. Brees is not likely to throw a ball to Scandrick. I personally would not blame Reid for taking that approach. I really don't blame him for the approach he took either.

The thing is, like O.City said, Conley likely doesn’t score there anyways.

I wasn't referring to any one play. I meant the drive we did score on.

You score and the Rams have over a minute to win it. It was 1st and 10 and we had all 3 time outs.

Run the clock

Unless we don't score a TD...this us the ultimate in hind sight.....you score when you can. The only other option is if you need a fg to win and you're in fg range. Then you can run some clock. But when you need 6 you take it when you can.

People are complaining because we gave the rams over a minute to score but the say if we ran the clock and only got a fg we would have forced ot. And if we had lost the toss then what? You never run the clock assuming you'll get a td in the end or worse you'll win the toss and score a td.
