I'm down for supporting reasons you cited, but the coaches had their role in it.
Wrong. On third down Albert Wilson was WIDE OPEN 15 yards down the field.
And Smith ignored Demetrius Harris open 15 yards over the middle when he checked it down to Reek for a 2 yard loss.
Since coming to Kansas City Andy has had two of the biggest playoff choke jobs in CHIEFS history. Pissing away a 28 point lead vs. the COLTS in Indianapolis and the recent Home game and a 18 point lead vs. the Titians. He does not have that killer instinct when he has a big lead. It's almost as if Andy doesn't want to embarrass the other team and would rather make it a close game than a blowout. His game management skills and use of timeouts are hard to watch in a close game with under two minutes remaining when the CHIEFS need to score. Like he says time and time again, he needs to do a better job [Reply]

If we could somehow insert someone else on game day, everything else gets a solid "yes" and a high approval.
Reid simply isn't a strategist.
Those 5 to 6 other days of the week? He's exactly what you want in a head coach for your team. He knows how to coach. How to build a player up and get the most out of them. He just sucks at being a wartime consigliere. [Reply]
I still love Big Red, the things that he does well, he does very well
But my lord is he a stubborn SOB, and it seems quite safe to say that I'm not just speaking for myself in saying... its starting to wear me down
Trying to keep my disappointment with him tamped down until we can see Mahomes execute this offense, because if things continue along their current arc... we'll all be building little shrines to Andy that we give offerings of incense and fine oils to [Reply]

The whole post is great, but the bolded is particularly well stated [Reply]
