What I have learned over the years. Moving on from a coach who has done everything great but win the biggest game, rarely gets better once replaced. The few samples where it does, the Heir taking over is a one of a kind coach. In some cases there is some success for a year or two, but most of the time the floor drops out. Unless we know who that person is and have them lined up to replace Andy. I have little argument against Andy running the show. I would rather have the chance for Andy to make a mistake in the superbowl or play offs with a chance to win, then years of horrible football and no play offs.

While growing up, I heard people bad mouthing Marty S. saying he can never win the big gam and he is the problem being conservative. Then to see the drought of competitive games or years following was disgusting. While DV brought us back for two years, they gambled big time putting all our eggs in the basket with veteran players an a short window that closed without a playoff win.

Yes Andy has flaws but he brings a much bigger upside that we can’t take for granted.

I get your thoughts. And hey there is a lot of truth to it. When it comes to your points I would simply state that if we had this mindset across the board we would not have Patrick Mahomes. Is there risk hell yeah there is but it can also work out and I think people seem to forget that at times.

That being said the point I am making with this thread isn’t Fire Andy Reid. This is not a Fire Andy Reid thread. He’s not going to be fired I get that. The point I am making is that if the Chiefs are to win this game it’s going to take Andy Reid at his best. We have the talent against some teams we can win with Andy’s B game. That is not the case when you are going against the Pats. We saw that last year in the 2 games against them last season as I stated in earlier post. We have seen it hurt us in games this year. We have a chance to get a bye still if we get the W on Sunday. It would still require some help but we would at least still have a shot. We lose pretty much all hope of that if we walk out with another L in a big game. If we are to get that W we simply can not have to poor starts that we had in the games last year. We have to be ready from kickoff not having to fight to get back in the game. We have the talent to compete with the Patriots. They just have to be ready to play coming into the game. If they are not we don’t have a chance to win.

The games we have lost, is because Andy tries to manage the clock and ball possession. It ends up failing and lets teams hang with us. Keep the throttle down on Sunday from opening kick off. Don’t stop until the world around Patriots fans comes burning down around them. Run up the score to 75 if we have. That way I don’t have to hear how they may be the best defense ever.

In large part that’s how we have lost many games. I would also add the Packers game was a lot to do with not having Mahomes in that game. I really think we win that one if Mahomes.

Our matchups with the Pats have seemed to be a little different. We just seem to get off to slower starts against them for the most part. IMO if the Chiefs are able to get off to a fast start they should be able to come out of it with the W. The start is the a very important key to this game IMO

Other than that, Reid is the same old Reid: you know exactly what you are getting with him, a fabulous opening script, then downhill after that. Horrendous clock management, undisciplined offense, etc. etc.

“I can’t disagree with this to much

In the AFC title game it could not have been more clear the Patriots were FAR and away the more prepared team. They won in part due to the work they did getting ready for the game and it wasn’t even close. IMO”

Sorry man. That’s pandering ***** bull****. You are looking for love on an opponent’s fan forum. We lost that game because Dee Ford lined up in the neutral zone. I have a differing opinion about what a fan is. Be critical of your team, but ON YOUR OWN FORUM. Just my opinion.

If being honest about what happened is “pandering” then I guess I am guilty.

Because I am on their forum doesn’t mean I can be real about what happened. I am not going to make an excuse I am not going to make myself sound like a fool. I enjoy talking football and no matter what board I am on will be open with my opinion. I won’t change my opinion to fit where I am I have stated every opinion here as I have there. If you want to think I am pandering well I can’t stop you but I call it just being real.

So you have some great inside knowledge on how the team prepared (or did not in your estimation) for the AFC Championship game? And that it was “so clear” that the Pats were “FAR more prepared”? This game still strikes a bad chord for most Chiefs fans who feel that we were one bad call (TB roughing passer) or one bonehead move (Dee Ford) away from the Super Bowl (which we would have won). So yeah, your insider information about how the teams poor preparation caused the defeat smacks as nothing more than pandering on an opponent board and is pretty lame. But carry on. I’ve said what I wanted to say.

It’s what we call an OPINION. (google it)

Take a look I was not the only one to have that opinion. And I posted the very same opinion after the game. Because I am on a different board and state that same opinion well if that’s pandering then I would say you need to also google pandering.

But carry on cherry picking post over there to fit this nonsense about me. I just simply am not going to waste another second of my time responding to this nonsense.
