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?

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.
Analytics say you go for it on 4th and 2 or less almost everywhere from your own 35 on. Now few coaches do this because it looks bad when you miss but the data supports doing it. Given the FG won't win you the game it actually puts even more emphasis on the first down which DOES win the game.
Not saying it's right or wrong (obviously easy to say it's wrong given how they lost) but it is what the data shows. [Reply]

kind of... but to me any coach in that exact situation the Chiefs were just in would have run the ball on 3rd and 4th downs making the other team travel 80 yards with no timeouts if the conversions were not successful [Reply]

I wrote that one off to key injuries. We were still fucked by the injury bug today, but were healthy enough. They did everything but win.
How we feel is San Diego fans felt when Phyllis fumbled the snap in what was essentially victory formation. Or how Cleveland fans felt when that idiot took his helmet off on the field and gave Trent one more chance to beat them. We gave the fucking game away, and worse yet, to a bad team. [Reply]

Oh, the 3rd and 2 call was fine. Running it up the gut predictably on 1st and 2nd down was where we failed. Get the first down, win the game. You have the best offense in the NFL. Use it. [Reply]

The Chiefs did everything they could to give that game away literally all afternoon. At the end of it, they just said forget it, here you go. [Reply]

Scoring a TD in that situation would have iced the game, but poor play calls lead to a FG.
Most coaches value what they have more than what they could have if that situation. It didn't work out. The inconsistency up and down the coaching staff is what is frustrating. [Reply]

We should have kept Dorsey/Pederson and let Reid walk.
He trusted his QB to get 2 yards. Didn't happen. [Reply]
