Andy Reid was already a legend of a coach from his years of McNabb, Kevin Kolb, Michael Vick fresh out of pound-me-in-the-ass federal prison, and Alex Smith. [Reply]
What Bill Walsh said in the 80s about the 49ers LOUDLY rings true about the Andy Reid #Chiefs. Especially the refining process. pic.twitter.com/xZmS49kY3J

What's your point here?
We've seen Andy get points with Alex Smith. 28 point lead, 18 point lead, what happened then? Shhhhhhh. It's too sad to talk about.
Get us some Gifs of Big Red taking the walk of shame across the field with the score graphics up, losing both of those games by 1 after having commanding leads.
Oh, make sure you add your little WITHOUT MAHOMES! to those as well.
Is there any coach in playoff history that's blown leads that big TWICE? Spoiler alert: No.
Hes also the only coach I'm aware of that had to be verbally assaulted by a player and knocked off balance to get his best skill position player involved in the biggest game of his coaching career. Oh the estrogen was flowing here after that. Mr Wizard nearly went full Florio.
Perhaps the reason Big Red goes down 2 scores so often is that it's easier to call the game from behind than to call the game with the lead.
Our offensive production certainly goes down the toilet with a lead, as Andy turtles up despite having the best arm in the universe at his disposal, while going down 10-17 points seems to ignite the engines and the offense comes roaring back.
I guess it's easier for the "true fans" to cherry pick the good, and completely disregard the hilarious to tragi-comic playoff performances that resulted in him needing over 2 decades as a head coach to win that first title.
Revisionists writing up narratives saying Andy had nothing on those Philly teams, he was just a miracle worker, lmao.
Donovan McNabb was a top 5 statistical passer during the Philly run of nfccg losses and superbowl loss. 3rd in total yards, 4th in total td.
Andy borderline refused to run the football. So McNabb was throwing the majority of the time to mostly scrub wrs until TO arrived.
But Andy "carried" McNabb. Lol. Sure.
I can't imagine why objective views of this man's career are so reviled. Does it really affect you personally to see sub par performances, poor statistics, and terrible records? It shouldn't.
Point out fun facts that Andy choked more playoff games that he was favored to win than any other coach in history, feathers get ruffled. Why? It happened.
Many here take anything but glowing praise of Andy Reid as a personal attack on them. It's so fucking weird. [Reply]

I think this is the heart of the issue. I've seen it way too many times in these giant, embarrassing hate essays to not notice a consistent theme.
For whatever emotional reason Wallcrawler has chosen, he's decided to zero in on Andy's embarrassing playoff losses as the main reason to void him of any credit for the Chiefs recent success. I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe one of those losses was just too much to stomach and he's decided to stand firm and lead the crusade against Andy for what he did to Wallcrawler as a fan (lol). Maybe it makes him feel unique amongst other CP'ers. I really have no clue. But I am pretty confident that Wallcrawler has decided on something purely emotional that Andy did that has made him this way, and no amount of logic will get him to change his tune. [Reply]

Yeah....I must have just imagined those one and done performances with a more than adequate supply of offensive weapons.
He just flipped a switch after blowing that 18 point halftime lead to Tennessee and said "never again!" and was going to 6 straight AFC title games and 4 superbowls, no matter what.
Right?
That whole not being one and done, going to 6 straight afccg thing, its merely coincidence that it just happened to start the very same season the best qb who ever lived began his career as the starter.

11-13 without Mahomes. 0-1 superbowl.
15-3 with Mahomes. 3-1 in Superbowl.
That's one helluva lopsided comparison. The Stans would have you believe that it was just simply Andy Reid finally blossoming into an unstoppable offensive coaching juggernaut after two decades of floundering in post season shortcomings.
Anyone with a moving brain cell can see that #15 is the direct cause of such a massive and explosive turn in post season fortunes.

15-3. Lmao.
Andy lost to Brady three times, Brees multiple times, Warner multiple times, Rodgers once, the Bucs super defense/team.
You're not beating those teams without a star QB [Reply]

Iirc, Andy Reid after seeing Mahomes tape said "That's Brett Favre."
We don't have Mahomes if we don't have Andy. [Reply]

McNabb was a top 5 statistical qb. 3rd in yards, 4th in tds. Throwing to turds like Stinkston and Trash while Andy refused to run the ball. He also had Jim Johnsons ridiculous defense at his back.
Just stop.
Andy Reid continued his post season failures with the quarterback HE CHOSE and we traded two 2nds for.
He had the gigabytes. Just not enough to hold leads of 28, and 18 points for two quarters, or to outscore a team at Arrowhead who couldn't manage to score a touchdown.
Hey, he did spank Bill o Brien and Brian Hoyer 30-0 though. So not wholly incompetent
Andy was mediocre at best in the post season, with sideline gaffes ranging from baffling to hilarious before Mahomes. [Reply]
