Andy Reid got depantsed in the Super Bowl by Bruce Arians.
Bruce Fucking Arians and Tom Fucking Brady.
Well, you see, Andy Reid is an offensive genius, and how dare we question Andy Reid's genius in not running the ball and not utilizing the screen pass in the face of an epically brutal pass rush, a patchwork offensive line and a QB with a hurt toe?
How dare we question his geniusness?

Scoring a TD in that situation would have iced the game, but poor play calls lead to a FG.
So Reid sucks when he goes conservative? Is that the prevailing opinion? [Reply]

You have to go back to the days of Alice for a loss like this. This is like when we lost to the ****ing Giants, Jets and Bills during that 4-game swoon in 2017.
With the talent we have, with the quarterback we have, this loss is inexcusable.
I'm just amazed that this team can look like a possible SB contender with Moore at QB, then Mahomes comes back and they just go back to sucking. [Reply]

The Colts loss at home this year was embarrassing. That’s not a good football team. [Reply]

OR on 4th and 1 - there's a special magical FG which gives you 4 points and effectively wins the game. What's more - you have a 90% chance of success and if you miss they get the ball back at the 23 with 5 pt. lead.
Every coach would take the magical field goal. And knowing this magical FG was available and gets more likely with every inch they get closer to a 1st down - you probably run it every time on 3rd and 2.
See where I'm going with this?
Yet coaches play for the unmagical FG - because points. [Reply]
