I wasn't in the game thread but I'm guessing Andy Reid punting on 4th down down 14 - 0 was controversial. That includes me. Andy Reid deserves a ton of credit for today. It wasn't his fault we were down early. But the team fed off his incredible poise in the comeback. Even at their worse, the team never looked down on their spirits.
I wonder how many will compare our decision to punt on this drive to Obrien going for the fake. Arguably two pivotal game changers. [Reply]

Chief Fan wanted to, somehow, blame Andy for all the fluke crap that put us in that hole. It's insanely stupid, but it's what we do around here. [Reply]

What coach? I don't remember anyone saying they wanted a college head coach, but I also haven't been real active this year. I don't think any college coach should ever take over for an NFL team that went to the playoffs.
I argued with someone in another thread, but college coaches, even great college coaches fail in the NFL. Even the greatest college coach of all time failed in the NFL.
Jimmy Johnson (I am not counting Switzer because he was just the baby sitter for that team) is the only real success story in the modern NFL when it comes to true college head coaches successfully transitioning to the NFL.
Jimmy Johnson used his familiarity of elite college teams and their personnel, along with the multiple picks acquired in the worst trade in NFL history, to rebuild an old and aging roster into a young, fast, and talented roster.

Probably should've run the ball more so they could've set the Texans defense up for the 2nd half.
Sure, the Texans DL was on their knees and gasping for air as the Chiefs were setting up to take a 28-24 lead, but I've been told that defending the pass doesn't tire defenders out so it must've just been the cold. [Reply]

I admit I laughed when Mahomes ran around the edge and JJ Watt took about 3 steps and stopped like, fuck it I can't catch him. [Reply]
It was sickening to see all of the dorks calling for Andy's head in the first quarter when:
Kelce drops a wide open first down.
Robinson drops a wide open first down.
Hill muffs a punt within his own 10 yard line.
Fisher false starts.
Robinson drops another big pass.
A blocked punt.

It was great to see Andy Reid keep his foot on the gas this game.
Romo made an interesting callout that toward the end of the game we weren't even getting to third down. Wonder if that's an adjustment to our crucial third down drops. If you go for the throat three times vs chipping away at a first down, it's easier to overcome drops. [Reply]

It was pretty entertaining to play the freakish caricature of all of Andy Reid's supposed flaws in Bill OBrien. Take a step back and realize that Reid, even with his legitimate flaws, isn't nearly as bad as you've convinced yourselves he is. [Reply]

2 of 8 on 3rd downs w/ something like 6 dropped passes.
