Andy Reid got thoroughly outcoached

[FloridaMan88]

It’s pretty simple... Belichick effectively took away the Chiefs top two offensive targets... double teaming Tyreek and jamming Kelce, while Sutton let Brady drive down the field in OT throwing to their top two weapons, Gronk and Edelman.

It’s amazing that Andy was so unprepared to counter a Belichick defensive strategy that everyone saw coming before the game.

Wasted?

It was far from being wasted. We’ll be okay!

Bob has the Indy and Titans playoff debacles. A loss when the offense put up 51. This loss wasn’t some soul crushing defeat like those other 2 playoff losses but come the **** on. How many more chances is this guy gonna get? It better be true he’s retiring, someone should crap in his retirement cake.

Alex and Andy own the Steelers loss. So fat Andy has wins over a really bad Texans team and an overrated Colts team. But he’s gonna learn from this.

We had the game won with an INT and Dee Ford was offsides.
A couple inches cost them a Super Bowl.

Our offensive game plan was a steady diet of run up the middle or slow developing pass plays. Where the hell is our quick passing game? I know we have one, we spent 5 years doing it with Alex Smith. We also used it more early this season. Andy needs to self scout his play calling in a bad way.

It took Bob Sutton until after halftime to even run a scheme that had a chance to stop the run. But all things considered, getting out of the first half only down 14 was a minor miracle. But giving up 13 3rd down conversions in the game and three 3rd and 10s on the final drive in overtime alone was excruciating. Bob Sutton needs to retire. Andy isn't going to fire him. But holy shit Tom Brady was killing us pre-snap.

All that said, I'm proud of our boys. Imagine what they could do if our coaches pulled their heads out of their asses.

Some of these post are pathetic. Like it or not we played against a team and a coach who have been in this game 8 straight years.... Eight! This was our first at home EVER, and our first in 25 years. We got off to a terrible start and the TOP in the first half hurt our Defense in the late parts of the game. We made great adjustments at Halftime. We won the 3rd and 4th quarter 31-17, with some really strange calls and a completed catch by Hogan that stood as called on a 3rd and long that would have given us the ball back with the lead. I swear to god, Brady sold his soul to the Devil...

If Ford isn't a few knuckles offside. Brady exits with 1 TD and 3 picks, and Gronk likely retires with a missed reception that was tipped to KC for the victory.

This thread is stupid... Reid's first year with a HOF caliber QB and we lost in OT... It sucks, but the overreaction by some of you suck more.

Nailed it.

Who here can say we would even go to the championship game this season? Not one ****ing person.

I don't know. I'm pretty sure Rain Man predicted 16-0 and a Super Bowl victory.

I mean, I think he did that for all the Alex Smith Chiefs teams too, but I believe he predicted the AFCC appearance this year nevertheless.

He seems to be sort of an optimist.

That is lame bullshit.

Exceeding preseason expectations does not excuse Andy and Sutton getting clowned by Belichick yesterday.

This idea that Andy/Sutton should get a pass for yesterday because they exceeded subjective expectations for the season set in June/July/August is weak.

I thought in the first half Andy Reid was trying too hard to coach like BB in that he was trying to run the ball on first and second downs on each drive and that never got Patrick in a rhythm to do his thing. We have the most explosive offense but the running game comes from the threat of down field passing. We didn't run our normal offense. I thought Andy tried to copy cat BB game plan by running the ball to keep Brady off the field.


We got took in the first half but second half Patrick Mahomes II did his thing and we outscored the Patriots 31-17.

Bullshit. There were people including me that said we could go to the Championship game this season. We had our opportunity and was a coin flip away from the Super Bowl.

It was basic coaching fundamentals that this team messed up on. It was embarrassing.

1. Why weren’t we prepared for the cover 0 blitz? They did this last time and ran it 4X again! You had months of film to prepare!
2. Why couldn’t we adjust to the Patriots pass rush? They literally blitzed up the middle the entire first half. We made zero adjustments for it.
3. Where was the creativity?! Get your playmakers opportunities. No horizontal use of our strength in playcalling.
4. Why did Tony Romo know the Patriots playcalls but this defense didn’t?! Come on!
5. WHY WAS DEE FORD OFFSIDES?!?! THAT IS HORRIBLE FOR HIM AND THE COACHES! INEXCUSABLE!

Mahomes struggled in the first half reading the defense and not going to the hot read. He also missed a wide open Williams the last drive of the half and took a sack that cost us points. This is his first year, he will get much better at reading these defenses and getting rid of the ball and causing them pain.

2. Why couldn’t we adjust to the Patriots pass rush? They literally blitzed up the middle the entire first half. We made zero adjustments for it.

We adjusted at halftime and rolled them offensively in the 2nd half.

3. Where was the creativity?! Get your playmakers opportunities. No horizontal use of our strength in playcalling.

again, made adjustments and rolled them offensively in the 2nd half

4. Why did Tony Romo know the Patriots playcalls but this defense didn’t?! Come on!

Was at the game, so I didn't hear Romo, but Tom made some great throws and we blew some coverages with a young Lucas...

5. WHY WAS DEE FORD OFFSIDES?!?! THAT IS HORRIBLE FOR HIM AND THE COACHES! INEXCUSABLE!

I was at Chiefs training camp in St. Joes and I actually heard Sutton coaching his guy's to line up in the neutral zone because it gives you a head start...

Watched games all year and those guys on the edge are lined up like that a lot and its rarely called.

See above... We got beat by the BEST QB and the BEST Coach of all time. It's not arguable unless you are being intellectually dishonest. I hate them, but they are damn good and have been to 8 straight AFC Championship games for a reason.
