Again, we lost an 18 point second half lead, in the playoffs, at Arrowhead, and the RB who led the NFL in rushing yards was not a part of the game plan going in, and still wasn't a part of the offense after building that lead.
Why is it that Reid apologists just can't seem to admit that he Reid habitually loses in the playoffs and it's usually because he didn't even try to run the ball. I get that he is a fantastic regular season coach, and he has been great in KC, but at some point his patented "We will learn from this loss and get better" bullshit lie he tells every time he loses a playoff game (or regular season game in which we lose because of his coaching) has to go.
Hopefully, Mahomes will be Reid-Proof in his second playoff run of his career.

We possesed the ball 3 TIMES in the second half.
3.
In the first drive, Butker missed a FG that effectively ices the game. In the 2nd Smith puts a pass right into Charles chest that he just flat drops that would've continued the drive on 3rd down and PROBABLY effectively iced the game. In the 3rd Smith simply missed a throw to Albert Wilson that puts us in a position to kill clock and at WORST kick a FG to allow the Chiefs to take the lead.
Blaming Reid for the Titans game requires you to completely check your brain at the door. The Chiefs defense got moved off the field; completely dominated. And there's just very little Reid could've done to prevent that that he wasn't attempting. They were throwing the kitchen sink at Derrick Henry and it just didn't matter.
As for "WHY DIDN"T HE RUN THE BALL!!!" -- again, pay attention. The 1st drive had 2 runs, the 2nd of which was a 1st down run by Hunt for -1 yards that put them behind the sticks on 2nd. The second play was an attempt to get Hill on space on an easy pitch/catch that would maybe break open but at worst doesn't take you out of FG range, it was caught and acted the same as a run in terms of running the clock. The 3rd play a little scramble on 3rd and long that AGAIN ran the clock.
The 2nd drive started with 2 completed passes (both kept the clock running) 2 straight runs and then on 3rd down a VERY good play design where Orson Charles simply dropped the !@#$ing ball; a ball that most offensive linemen catch.
By the 3rd drive the Titans had the lead and 'running the clock' was no longer a concern.
In other words, nothing you said has any merit. At all. Literally not one single damn thing you said made any sense. It's ****ing reeruned and clearly someone who's parroting a narrative without ANY research into whether it makes sense.
