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?

We legit burned clock in the 2nd half in a playoff game today, probably for the first time since he's been the coach.
Agreed. Reid was brilliant today. I don't care about pass happy. I hate when we throw sideways. I thought we went for the throat today. Outstanding game for Reid. [Reply]

It was about third and 7 or 8 and they took Tyreek in motion to the right, and threw back to Kelce on the left. It was wide open for a first down.
That is absolutely genius against a Cover 2 that has been getting killed by Kelce over the middle all day.

The moment that sealed it for me was Andy Reid going for the kill at the end of the first half sitting on a big lead. Dude is on a mission. I'll never get upset for being too aggressive as long as mahomes is our qb. I think the SD and Seattle losses were perfect timing to get kicked in the dick. [Reply]

Just saw that on replay. In the past players would plead with Reid to go for it. Mahomes stone cold stared at the sideline and basically told them they're going for it. Reid calmly looked at his play sheet. [Reply]
I’d like to know the stories behind Erving starting at LG, and Wiley staying put. Just two weeks ago, when Erving was healthy, they still started Allen at LG. By all accounts LDT was ready to go this week, but they stayed with Wiley who has been solid as next man up. I’m sure Mahomes has helped this O-line, but this is the deepest unit Reid and Andy Heck have trotted out since being in KC. Hat tip to the coaches for plugging in the right guys, and building some excellent depth along the way. [Reply]

Anything else will mean that there will be plenty of Reid doubters. Hopefully it doesn't get to a point where we are unable to win a SB in the next few years (10 years with Reid and counting). AFAIK only Bill Cowher won it that late with the same team.

We had the lead and came out like hot molten lava to start the second half, but then got stopped on...A FOURTH DOWN.
Dude was perfect today.
They only got stopped on that 4th down because of poor execution the 2 plays before that. Andy called a great game. The offensive linemen need to stop committing penalties. It's that simple. [Reply]
