Mahomes didn't have an HOF caliber game but we did score 31 in the second half.
It's simply unreal that the Chiefs have zero SB appearances with the offenses they've had under Vermeil and Reid. Guys off the street would have been better than Greg Robinson, Gunther, and Sutton. |

There is plenty of blame to go around. Pat and the entire offense looked like they sh*t their pants in the first half. 0 points. OL couldn’t protect Mahomes on the Patriot blitz. Two overthrows that would have ended in points. B&B were ready to go in to half up 7, until Reid calls a TO.... then Pats convert and find themselves with enough time to keep going down the field.
4Q the D couldn’t get Brady off the field with about 6+ chances with 3rd and long. If Sutton isn’t fired and we can’t address some defensive personnel holes in the draft, I can envision a scenario where Reid and the Chiefs peak in year one of the Mahomes era and never are able to capitalize again. |

Seriously, at some point you have to stop talking about almost and realize that football games are won a certain way. That’s why I asked when was the last time a team with a quick strike offense won the Super Bowl. You can live in almost, or you can accept that there are flaws to the Reid style regardless of the regular season. Call it “managing” games all you want, I call it smart football. Winning football is about balance and toughness, and no matter how much the rules change it always will be |

Even the greatest show on turf methodically broke teams down with runs and short catches from Marshall Faulk. Even the Saints this year, contrary to popular belief aren’t quick strike. They’re methodical and efficient with Kamara and Ingram. They don’t leave their defense out on the field all day. So, what were you saying? |

If you don’t understand that balance wins championships in the NFL, I can’t help you. The average NFL fan is obsessed with scoring left and right, and then those very fans are disappointed come playoff time I’ve been watching Andy Reid since 2002. I love the man, but his style of play has always had one glaring flaw compared to the teams who have actually won it all. Lack of balance. So sure, score fast and exhaust your defense. Then have a million what if’s after |

This thread sucks... first year starter destroyed the NFL this year and will only get better.

They had the ball with a chance to win in regulation. Andy elected for a coin toss rather than risk an INT. The problem is fat boy.

Would you prefer Alex take 8 minutes and still ****ing punt Smith? Mahoney is like the last of our problems. Sutton should be brought before the guillotine.

This is one of the dumbest takes I have ever heard.
If all you need is a field goal to take the lead, then yes, you can and should try to work the clock once you get into comfortable range. If you need a TD, you score whenever you can. There is no guarantee you can burn clock and still get in the endzone. |
