Point of fact: Andy's first six plays in that drive should've gotten the Chiefs inside the 5-yard line or scored, with over 4:30 minutes remaining in the game.
But Alex didn't execute the plays properly even with good protection. Just how is that Andy's fault?
Only a reerun coach or someone like yourself would've pulled Alex in that exact moment. You know, the AFC Divisional Round game?
And apparently you have no idea how games are game-planned between a coach and a QB.
Because anyone who's paid even a little attention to how that's done knows that the Coach and the QB get together the week before the game and they go over the plan and practice the plays in that plan. They also practice two-minute drills for THE ENTIRE SEASON, YOU DOPE.
Alex had his choice of plays to install for that game the week prior and practiced them until they both agreed that those were the plays they wanted to use in the game if that situation came up. Just like any other NFL football team with a better than stupid coach.
In other words, your argument that Andy didn't understand time management in that situation doesn't hold any water at all.
And never mind that Andy has proven several times in this season alone that he can execute a 2-minute drill to perfection (see Lions game, Viking game, etc.), so long as the QB executes the plays properly. But we should refer to whatever happened in a game 10 years ago before Reid was even in KC?
Damn, you don't even understand how game-planning/weekly practice works . . . why am I talking to you?

You basically act like like andy is perfect and any criticism is way off base. Maybe if you try to have a normal conversation without calling names and acting like a jerk, you might realize we are more on the same side than you think. I'm not an Andy-hater but to deny any flaw is ridiculous and child-like.
You're just not getting what I'm saying and you're actually proving my point with your "argument." First, you say Alex didn't execute and that's not andy's fault, but what i'm saying is that the "execution" should have been coached ahead of time. Andy should have coached Alex to take shots in those situation BEFORE those situations came up. That way, Alex can't dink and dunk down the field when we need to score quickly.
Then, you go on to prove my point when you talk about "game-planning." If andy and alex got together and practiced the plays for those types of situations, that means Andy didn't do a good job bc the team needed to score quickly and they did the opposite of that.
Do you really think that Andy and Alex practiced the 2 minute drill all damn season and executed it great in practice and then in the new england game, he just did the complete opposite of what he was supposed to do? That makes no damn sense.
If that's what happened, then Andy should have gotten rid of alex a long time ago b/c this was not an isolated incident. How about with Mcnabb? Do you think andy practiced a sterling 2 minute drill moving swiftly down the field all the time only for mcnabb to do the complete opposite in the super bowl?
What are the odds that Andy keeps getting QBs that practice the 2 minute drill perfectly and then do the exact opposite in a big game? Or, do you think it might be that Andy coached it that way since it keeps happening with different QBs and since
Andy has admitted that he thinks this is the proper way to handle those situations? Think about that.
Also, you never answered my question - can you just admit that Andy has a flaw with time management that has bitten him numerous times in big games? B/c that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying he is terrible. If you stop acting like a douche calling me a reerun every post, then we might have been able to find common ground b/c I mostly agree that Andy is a good coach. All I did was point out that there is a pretty big flaw with him, but the problem is that you have to act like he's perfect and no criticism of him is legit and then name call someone who thinks there's a flaw and try to whitewash all the example of the flaw. Is andy reid flawless? Is there any damn flaw you would admit to?
I'm getting tired of this "debate" as well. If you can't admit one lousy obvious flaw in andy's coaching, then there is no point in conversing, especially with someone who just keeps calling me names even while he's proving my point.
