Never heard Andy drop the hammer on someone during a Press Conference like this. It wasn't over the top, but it was a zinger.
Soren asked a long two part question, the first part was asking about if we were over-confident/cocky and figured we had enough time to catch up at the end.
Andy chuckled and rolled his eyes a bit, and when Petro finished his long ass questions, Andy responded with something like:
"I'm still irritated about your question about Tyreek taking his helmet off yesterday, and expect more professional questions. As for your first question, again I expect you to ask better, more professional questions.

To me, it looked like Tyreek's momentum from the somersault was already making his helmet start to come off so he took it off. It was a natural movement for him to take his helmet off and I didn't get a sense it was a look at me type thing although I've seen our players do that before. [Reply]

Ask Reid if he saw it or will make it a point of emphasis in in a meeting/practice going forward. But to ask if it shows that his team didn't come ready to play when it immediately followed one of the better deep strikes you're likely to see all season....well like I said, it's bush league.
Hill damn sure demonstrated plenty of focus on that play and then literally got his elbows knocked over his asshole trying to get into the end zone. We're gonna try to equate taking a helmet off there with being unprepared?
C'mon -that's grade A shit disturbing and Reid is fine for calling it as such.
This entire forum was commenting on what appeared to be a lack of focus and drive yesterday. The game day thread was filled with similar comments. Yes, there is a large difference between a post-game presser and a message board, but let’s not act like this is some out of left field question. [Reply]

I think the team came out flat, no question.
But starting in the middle of the 3rd they'd emerged from their funk and were playing quality football. This was right in the middle of all that (while they were playing quite well) and again, immediately after he'd made a play that required intense focus.
Trying to tie this particular moment into an overarching theme is why I say the question was a shitty one.
I don't think it's unfair to ask them about their overall focus (or lack thereof) in the early going of the game. But to make THIS a particular point of emphasis is a lousy question. [Reply]

That's exactly what happened. His helmet was already coming loose. [Reply]

This entire forum is full of idiots that really don't know shit, especially regarding whether or not the players had a "lack of focus and drive." I mean, ****, those are two distinct ideas that are unique to each player individually, yet, somehow, Chief Fan has intimate knowledge of the team's psyche collectively. It's ****ing amazing, really.

Makes me wonder what the protocol is for refs on these plays. Did they give Tyreek the benefit of the doubt? Seems like a good policy to do so. [Reply]

Yeah.
And then there's this one asshole that says "Chief Fan" a lot and assumes he's smarter than everyone because of it.
Lord you're a smug prick. Why are you even here? [Reply]

I don't understand why Hill's helmet is a big issue. I get that technically if a player takes off their helmet that's supposed to be a penalty, but seriously, when was the last time they called that in a game? I'm struggling to remember an exact incident in the last two years. [Reply]
