Reid brought up the fake punt in his press conference, knowing BOB will get ripped for that call. He defended his friend, but that was one of the dumbest calls I’ve ever seen in that situation. Absolutely idiotic. [Reply]
You're up 21-0, have the Chiefs on the ropes, on 4th and 1, and you decide to kick.
That was horrendous. I told my wife that, if O'Brien decides to kick this, this is going to come back and bite him in the ass sooner or later, regardless if the kicker makes it or not.
O'Brien had a golden opportunity to put us out of our misery by going for it (and assuming they get a TD on that drive).

The fake punt after he opted for a FG when up 21-0 on 4th and less than 1 against a gettable rush D with a chance to drive the stake in on the +18, makes that series of coaching arguably the worst I've ever seen in the NFL given the circumstances.
The Colts fake punt against the Pats with that harebrained formation was unimaginably stupid, but it was a singular event in a game with far lower consequences.
You have to fire someone after that sequence. It's clear he has no clue what he's doing.
He had to have Watson talk him out of punting in the 4th, down 17.. [Reply]

Then they had no sense or urgency to score after that.
He’s a dumbass. .

Responded before reading rest of comments. [Reply]
The field goal up 21-0 was the right call. The goal in that situation is to not give the opposing team any hope, and a failed fourth down would've done it. The field goal put them up four scores, which normally would win it.
The fake punt was really, really dumb. Just punt the ball when you're up by that much. Even when Patrick Mahomes II is on the other sideline. [Reply]

As soon as I heard Andy bring it up and try to sound sympathetic towards BillyO about it in his post game, I realized just how bad of a decision it really was. [Reply]

But, if the fire him do they hire EB as HC for revenge? [Reply]
