Nope, Andy has already proven he can lose with Mahomes. The QB has always been the excuse; "Andy Reid has never had an elite QB". Forget the fact that Andy is supposed to be the best QB coach in the universe but he's never had an elite QB. Yet we have taken it in the shorts with Mahomes. Nobody can deny that Mahomes is elite.
Andy Reid can't even field an elite offense when it counts with Mahomes. We have come up short at crunch time. Andy can't even make our guys protect the ball.
We are soft, sloppy and lack focus. You have to be pretty shitty to lose with a HOF QB like Mahomes. Andy doesn't have a problem losing.
No fair you say? We've had too many injuries on our offensive line. Guess what? Everyone made fun of the Colts for not protecting Andrew Luck with a good Oline. We should have done a better job filling our backups along the Oline. Not hindsight either, our offensive line backups being a problem was discussed at the beginning of the year. Specifically, Cam Erving was pointed out as a problem.
When you have an elite QB, you protect him with a stud Oline. [Reply]

Now if he would just step back and delegate some of the in game decisions, he might just get there.
When Patrick went down, the team came together, then a lot of them relaxed when he came back.
That last sentence boils it down for me... from coaches to players a well discussed malaise of sorts seems to have set in when Money is playing
The defense is waiting around for an offensive miracle, it’s gotta stop... the good news is almost half a season lies ahead and that means there’s time to fix it and get hot down the stretch [Reply]
