if it had worked and the Chiefs scored 45 to the Broncos 9, we would all be loving it today... Who knows? Maybe our RB crew got a little banged up. Neither of our backs are what I would call big. It was working and Mahomes is going to keep firing the ball.
Again, the defensive collapse is much more concerning... Which only appeared to be a collapse as the final stats aren't terrible. Red Zone is the problem; teams seem to score TDs almost every time where the Chiefs have been settling for FGs. [Reply]
Andy is an offensive genius, but how the Chiefs came out of HT and went 3-and-out two or three times in a row was pretty bad. After throwing the defense under the bus in the 2nd quarter, and seeing how gassed they were after the first DEN drive of the 3rd, he really needed to put together a long, sustained drive to give his defense a rest. And he didn't. In fact, twice in a row to start the 2nd half he allowed the offense to go three-and-out back-to-back. By the time the Chiefs offense finally put together a long drive, the defense was on a 80+ snap game.
I rarely have any issues with the gameplan coming out for the 2nd half, but that one was a true stinker. Can't do that again against a real team like CIN. [Reply]

I mean, I don't think anyone would have been opposed to it at that point.
27-0 with 3 minutes left in the 2nd quarter against an anemic offense. At that point, it's time to bleed the clock and try to get out of there with minimal injuries.
We ever get a four TD lead again, I hope we shift to like 75:25 run:-)ass ratio. [Reply]

Given how Pacheco was gashing them, it's more than justified. [Reply]
I'm really only saying we should A)run it enough to keep them out of light boxes and dropping 7 and 8, and
B)Maybe when you're up 27-0 and gashing them at 6 or 7 yards a pop, you should just eat clock, chew up yards, and physically demolish the opposition.
Like maybe 60/40 or something would be a good balance.
Of course, we might have to run it a bunch for a few games to get people to back off on the light box shit. Then it'd be BOMBS AWAY!
Tomorrow will be the 10th anniversary of the Eagles firing Andy Reid. Thanks to the Philadelphia Eagles, and thank you Andy Reid for agreeing to become Big Red. [Reply]
We are all some lucky bastards/bitches. Just needed to post that. Andy Reid keeps doing Andy Reid things, and here we are once again hosting the Arrowhead Invitational for the 5th time in a row.
But, and here's the really magic bit: he makes it fun to watch. He blows our minds on the regular, people. He does it so often, that we're actually kind of disappointed when he doesn't show us a magic trick.
And they are magic tricks, not 'trick plays,' because they work in spectacular fashion, nearly every time. We have the world's greatest magic-show maker, a wizard if you will, and the world's greatest magician running the show.
We're living the dream, Andy. Thanks Big Red. [Reply]
Was just checking something else out earlier and realized that Andy, if he wins 12 games a year could pass up Shula in under 7 years. Since the Patriots are not good anymore he is also closing the gap on Belechick. Unbelievable. [Reply]
