Easily could've come out flat, uninspired, and dropped this game. On the road 4 days after playing the Texans, it's Christmas day, guys are tired, and Andy fields a team that rolled into pittsburgh against a 10 win team and stove their mother ****ing head in. Just a fantastic job of getting these guys ready to go in such a short time.

Spags plan without Jones led to a 5 sack performance by the d line and 10 points allowed,which would have been 7 if an addle brained Justin Reid simply does nothing on the fg attempt. Instead, jumps offside and the missed fg is wiped.

Just a master stroke for this coaching staff.

Hats off.

Should be coach of the ****ing year.

Hell hath frozen over!! Wallcrawler giving Reid flowers.

The Avengers are gathering together as one. It’s so ****ing on.

Wallcrawler needed more runs today.

And to all a good night...

He deserves Coach of the Year even though the media idiots won't vote for him.

Also achieving the biggest point differential of the season on the road, against a playoff team that was recently in the running for the 1 seed after the toughest stretch of games this season (IMO. Advanced metrics may show something else, but this was tough).

I’m not sure I’ve seen a team respond to a stretch like this in the regular season. Just ****ing incredible.

Love this photo so much.
I was unsure who the elf? was? so I looked him up.
Chris Shropshire-Assistant Equipment Manager.
Looks like the team loves him.

Loved it when they started changing the assistant equipment manager's name. It was Ted Lasso stuff in real life.

I think the timing of these awards is off if they don't take place after the Superbowl concludes and the season is over.


Andy Reid could potentially be the first coach to win 3 straight Superbowls, and winning that third in a row he still wouldn't get coach of the year?

Ha. Imagine the utter worthlessness of that accolade this year if the Chiefs do pull off the three peat.

Oh so you won coach of the year the same year Andy Reid won an unprecedented 3rd straight superbowl? Hmm. Congrats I guess.

Yeah, victim of his own success.

It's basically impossible for him to win Coach of the year, doesn't matter what they do.

"Oh you won 16 games, well we expect you to do that so good job".

I have to assume you lose points when you have a great QB. Like if a QB is in the running for MVP, there's an assumption that the QB is doing a lot of or more heavy lifting compared to the coach behind him.

Like they'll look at Kevin Stefanski last year and praise him for getting to the playoffs with that carousel of QBs, but they won't do the same for Andy and all of the injuries he dealt with because he always had Patrick.

That’s basically it. Andy has been so successful as a HC and especially in the Mahomes era that anything he does at this point is expected which makes COTY almost impossible for him. I mean how do you follow with what he’s already accomplished?

I mean, start with something that's never been done before? 3-peat? But I agree, the timing of the award doesn't line up with Andy getting it. But he damn sure should!

How sweet would it be to have the same number of SBs as the 49ers and Cowboys.

Hot damn

Context matters though. The Chiefs had 4 different guys at Left Tackle in one season, which is ridiculous. They lost their 2 best receivers for 90% of the season. They lost their starting RB for a huge chunk of season. They had to use 3 different kickers because of injury BS. None of the other teams were able to be 15-1 even with better injury situations, better LT situations, etc.

This is why Reid would cement his legacy doing something that no coach in the SB era has done. Sadly though it won’t impact him winning COTY despite deserving it this year.

For those who subscribe, Keysor wrote about Andy in his column today.

(No, I'm not pasting the article. It's a whole $12 for a year if you want to read his stuff.)

NFL should just rename ‘Coach of the year ‘ award to ‘Coach who overachieved’ award.

It’s probably going to the Vikings head coach.

I think we'd all agree coaches that have had long term success are the best coaches in the league. Andy, John Harbaugh, Shanahan, Tomlin, LaFleur to name a few.

But whoever decides this seems to avoid the long-term established coaches, they never get it. It's always the coach who led some no-name or retread QB to the playoffs by the skin of their teeth that gets it. Deburg nailed it, it's probably gonna be the Vikings coach flipping the script with Sam Darnold. I don't like it, just like how I don't like the MVP Award aka "QB who had the best stats this year" award.

Andy deserves COY with the injuries this year and just grinded the team to 15-1. Dumb ass Media will probably give it to Jim Harbaugh because they made the playoffs...

Andy definitely deserves at least a couple COY awards by now, but knowing Andy, I'm sure when he looks back on his career, he'll be plenty satisfied with having his name in the Chiefs ring of honor, a yellow blazer, a bust in Canton and a half dozen Super Bowl rings in his trophy case.

If you dont get Andy respect, look at this bozo. Steelers had such history and league respect. Not anymore....

3 playoff wins since 2011.

And won his SB with Cowhers team.

With one of those wins being what convinced the Chiefs brass that they needed to go get Patrick Mahomes.

The Black Marty.

Sort of. But guess who's gonna go to the HOF and guess who never will.

Poor Marty... if he could've just gotten one SB win, or hell, maybe even just reached the SB once, he might be a HOFer. Just an unfathomably bad playoff record.

Seeing his aww shucks look after every playoff loss was both sad and infuriating.

Marty went his first 14 years without a losing record s in the regular season. He only had 2 losing records in 21 seasons. There's a gleam.

I find it hilarious he can basically say anything he wants and ends up printing a banner for it every season.

He has the best job in sports.

Of course Andy had the right approach.

“But since Dec. 11, when the Chiefs had their first practice before facing the Cleveland Browns, Reid held shorter practices than usual. Justin Reid explained that even the tempo between reps was much slower, all designed to help the players recover between games.

“It was tough, mentally, physically, especially these past two days, traveling here and figuring out what (the Steelers) are doing and who’s playing and all the injuries,” cornerback Trent McDuffie said after Wednesday’s game. “Three games in 11 days is crazy for anybody, but I thought we handled it very well. We struck together. Nobody held their heads down. Nobody said this is hard or complained. It was just, ‘Let’s go out there and win.’”

I think we dramatically underappreciate Andy's end game clock management these days. He used to suck at it, but watching both Zach Taylor and Sean Payton try and give the other team the win today makes it clear that we just very rarely screw that stuff up.

Agreed 100%

We win by small margins, since we have an incredible field goal kicker, and a coach who doesn't care about running up the score. Play situational football, run down the clock, and win the game.

hey i like this big fella

On this day 12 years ago the Philadelphia Eagles fired Andy Reid after 13 years coaching the team he had a 130-93-1 record. Since then they’ve had FOUR Head Coaches and Andy Reid’s won THREE Super Bowl Titles with the Chiefs! Thank you Philadelphia Eagles!


https://scontent-den2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...MQ&oe=677886E2

I think we are more in debt to Philly for Andy than we might realize. He wasn’t even a coordinator when they took a chance on him and they let him (before he was fired) wear HC hat plus make personnel decisions. That ended up being too much for him and led to his firing. He comes here and just coaches and we have reaped the rewards ever since.

When you have that kind of regular season record but have Marty's postseason record, that's not luck or anything else. It's poor coaching. Marty never could handle the pressure. If the running game was working, throw the ball. If the defense was on lock down, run prevent and let the other team back in the game.

Marty was a terrible situational coach. Kind of the opposite of Reid in that respect.

Marty was too loyal to tradition, I think.

“Starters don’t lose a job due to injury,” “rookies have to earn their position.”

Put Gannon and Tony G on the field for the entire game in the 97 playoffs and I’m guessing we’re walking away with the win. In the playoffs, your margins are razor thin, and Marty’s adherence to tradition for the sake of tradition was enough to skew his margins every time.

Add in the rumors of Lamar being upset at the suggestion that the QB he spent franchise money on would be benched by Gannon and King Carl’s constant whiffs in the drafts and refusing to “lose” in contract negotiations (leading to Neil walking away due to going with Grbac and going cheap on a kicker in 95) and Marty was always going to be doomed in Kansas City.

Now, what happened with Marlon McCree and the Chargers? That shit was just curse territory for Marty.

Before we begin this final trek towards the Three-peat I think we all need to be grateful and appreciate what Andy Reid has given us.

If the Chiefs win on Saturday, we will have seen 16 playoff wins with Patrick Mahomes. How insane is that? Joe freaking Montana only won 16 playoff games in his career. Mahomes is going to pass Montana and be halfway to Brady likely before he turns 30.

For all that we suffered. For all the pain and despair, this was so worth it. The football God’s have blessed us with the Andy Reid and he has given us the gift of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Mahomes passes Brady in playoff wins by the time he’s 37. That’s just..I don’t know man. Tom Brady absolutely destroyed Montana’s records. He obliterated them. It’s insane that Mahomes could pass Brady before he turns 40.

Enjoy it fellas. The odds are greatly against something like this ever happening again in our lives.

Man, he's dorky, but I love that Clark is so invested in the culture and celebrations of the team. Lots of owners are, but when you've had the success he's had for so long with the coaches and front office personnel, it really is like family and not like a boss/employee dynamic.

Congrats to Reid on 300

Reid with an extra 25-26 hours to prepare for the Bills if they win.

If the Ravens win close to an extra 36 hours.

so this was his 300th win including postseason

legend

Wait what? I thought we were locked into the Sunday 5:30 game?

We are. No matter when we play, though, we have the advantage because we played Saturday. Advantage is larger against the Ravens because they have to fly home to Baltimore.

300 wins. Mindblowing career for Andy! Hopefully it will be 302 in a few weeks.

And as long as Mahomes stays healthy this team has the capability to string another few together to add to that.

Might be one of those coaching records that'll never be broken.

Accident down vote

Tony responded to my Twitter posts about a year ago, it was really weird having a Convo with Dungy.

He needs that red-eye glow. That sith shit.

This way we point out dominance and piss all over Raider culture at the same time...

He's just a thick boi that likes Hawiian shirts and fast food.

God knew exactly the type of head coach I'd appreciate most for my team's dynasty and gave him to me after 30 years in the desert.

We need an AI painting of Andy coming down off the mountain with two tablets holding the Roman numerals of these 4 Super Bowls carved onto them...

We are so extremely blessed to have Andy. Yes, he has his own short comings and all that, but damn, I really like these bold calls today. Going for it on that 4th down. Going for 2 there. Pulling double aces of a scheme to get the two most important first downs to ice the game.

Extremely pleased.

And hats off to Mr. Clark Hunt for getting him and securing him as fast as possible.

Don't know how much was Andy or Nagy but damn that was a master class. And yes, they do break out new wrinkles in the last two games of the season.

That last first down when Perine slid out of the backfield. They bring Watson and Brown across the formation to join Juju to create traffic in front of the LB. Watch how they run right to him and force him back up the field. He never had a chance.

Man I knew that ball was going to Perine before the snap.

Bills need a new DC.

I'm also pretty sure Thuney let his guy get upfield as fast as possible so Patrick had a throwing lane.

Awesome playcalling from Andy at the end when they needed those 2 first downs. He could have run the ball and punted, but he went for the kill shot with two passing plays.

The people who think we don't hold back plays for the playoffs are crazy. Andy uses the regular season as one long scouting session.

Have AI make Reid eating Beignets and drinking Coffee in New Orleans.

I noticed that during the game. We pulled linemen to the left while pulling our TEs to the right. It was ****ing brilliant.
