He routinely does this by saying that whatever the failure is needs to improve and he will fix it. Same thing here - just say "We took too long to score there (or we need to score more quickly in that situation) and that's on me. I'll get it fixed." That takes responsibility for the failure without throwing the QB under the bus. Andy knows how to do this as it is his trademark.

What is crazy is that Andy actually goes out of his way to defend how long it took to score. This defense was not needed at all to keep from throwing Alex or anyone else under the bus.

Usually, the man takes responsibility even for things that are not his fault. What does it say when he refuses to take responsibility for something like this? It shows that he truly believes that there was nothing wrong with taking that much time, which makes sense because it explains how he can coach for 20 years and still screw up time management.

All these years, I've heard Eagles fans and Chiefs fans say "How can he coach that long and still screw up time management?" The answer is that he doesn't recognize there is a problem and thinks his approach is right even after numerous failures. Let's just hope we beat teams solidly and do not need some great time management on our way to the super bowl this year because there is no way Andy has learned his lesson when he wouldn't even admit the problem.

So I guess the problem is that he just doesn't get as many learning opportunities as the other guys...

You people are ****ing idiots. Reid will eventually go down as one of the 5-10 best coaches in NFL history and that will likely be selling him short. The guy is an offensive mastermind, an exceptional teacher/leader and one of the most prepared coaches you'll ever see.

The fact that there are still people who think he's even a merely good head coach is an indictment on this fanbase. The fact that there are people who think he's an actively bad one is an indictment on humanity itself.

This.

Unless the Chiefs win a SB under Reid, Reid will always suck to some of the idiots here.

And then even if they do win a SB under Reid, some of these morons will still stick to the narrative that they won in spite of him.

Facts are useless.

But you said 'at the end of the season', so we'll just have to revisit this. And yeah, I AM bold enough to pull one up from University.

Indy game.

I know injuries hurt the team but Andy failed to do exactly what people now criticize him for doing - he didn't milk the clock when he no longer had the personnel to trade punches. At that point he needed to hang on like grim death and just hope to get to zeroes.

He didn't. He tried to keep playing it straight up.

Idiots around here say nonsensical crap like "You keep playing like the score is 0-0!!!" and it's just asinine. You get up 3 scores...PLAY LIKE YOU'RE UP 3 SCORES! The goal is to win the damn football game, not win it by 24. If Andy had treated that Colts game in Indy like they had a massive lead, they win it pretty easily. Instead he's got Smith out there firing deep wheel routes to Cyrus Gray and what not.

Andy screwed that game up. But other than that (and I've broken this shit down drive by drive on several occasions on this board, including the asinine complaints over the Patriots loss in Foxborough several years ago), Reid's been damn good.
