I mean, you can **** around and end up not scoring, and lose that way too.

And you can NOT get a defensive stop, and lose that way.

And you can have a dumb penalty or two, and lose that way.

And you can have your killer offense shit the bed for a whole half, and lose that way.

If you need stop to win, you need a stop to win. We were an offsides penalty away. Or a bullshit roughing the passer penalty. OR we might've, oh, I don't know, tried actually covering Julian Edelman on 3rd down in overtime.

There are a lot of ways we could've won the game, and a lot of factors went into play in losing it.

Still, after decades of not being able to score enough points to win, I'm hesitant to blame scoring too fast as the primary reason.

Disagree, when you are the third best scoring offense in the history of the world and you are throwing all over a Patriots Defense in the 2nd half you have to think about the GOAT coming back on the next possession. We ****ed this very scenario up twice this season in big games.

or...OR....

you could ask your defense to do their job and get a ****ing stop. I mean, they get paid, too.

OR they could have fired Sutton when it was clear he was trash.

The ORs just keep coming.

No argument there.

It just sucks.. And now Tom Terrific is all but guaranteed another ring because there ain't no way the NFL is going to underofficiate Rams, and Tom Terrific and BB are going to exploit the shit out of it.

And Tom will probably come back next year to withdraw even more from the NFL's "we love anything Tom" account.

In b4, "but but but but they suspended Tom for cheating...." Yes they did, then they got right back to sucking his dick.

point of clarification to all who've been follow this thread the last few days-

I slipped on the ice taking the trash out the other day, fell flat on my ass and slid down the 30 ft. driveway with the trashcan on top of me and so have been stuck on the couch with a ****ed up back with nothing to do. Probably a little extra salty, as pain does have that effect. (It's okay, you can laugh at me, I have plenty.)

I don't mind anyone saying-"meh, not excited about this hire". There are legit concerns.
.
I don't mind anyone saying-"hey, I'm cautiously optimistic about this hire", as I am, although I've been cast as some blind true fan that never questions the management or coaching of the team. (Not true, by the way, if you look back at my posts over, oh, the last SEVENTEEN YEARS.)

I do find all the overreaction, gloom-and-doom-because-Chiefs-Andy-Reid-is-stupid-fire-them-all bitching tiresome. But, you know, because internet forum.

But for my part, I may have been a little harsh from time to time. So, my apologies.

Back to the regular scheduled program.

YUP.

When your defense is made from poorly coached underachievers, duct tape, and slow-assed Hobos, it doesn't matter how slow or fast you score.

There is no such thing as scoring too fast. To say you scored "too fast" is to make an assumption you will score at all. A fumble, drop, interception, tipped pass, hold, false start, illegal formation, miscommunication on route, bad pass, missed block, bad snap, sack and many other things seem to always disappear as a probability when people say "we scored too fast".

It's the most idiotic statement in sports.

Yeah the score to fast thing never made sense to me

And then what happens when you try and kill clock.....but you don’t end up scoring?

If you can score, you score.

You pay a defense for a reason.

**** you all. Andy Reid is a terrible head coach. Just disregard the fact that he's groomed one of the best young QBs in NFL history, or the fact that he's actually the 2nd best coach in Chiefs history and will take the 1st spot when we win a Superbowl with Mahomes.

Right or wrong....Andy’s legacy is riding on this hire.
