Andy Reid: “Our players were disappointed” | AFC Championship Press Conference – FANTASY FOOTBALL FAN SITE
Jonah Schniepp

Weird how running, play action, and a mix of formations was effective early.

Anyone know why they thought shotgun/rpo pass wacky was the way to go late?

Anyone explain why KC abandoned what worked in the game in favor of what has not worked ALL SEASON? KC seriously needs to evaluate this year. This game was a microcosm of why the had offensive struggles.

Stop with the RPO’s. It’s been high risk low reward for 2 seasons. The coaches should apologize to the players. That’s how bad it was.

    Jim Davis

    @Zero Wolf So basically it is Reid calling the offensive plays and not Eric? If that is the case then maybe that’s why no one has hire Eric as their HC.

    Jim Davis

    @Elephant of Light we were averaging over 7.2 yards per carry ..Bengals could not stop run game and we ended up losing over 25 yards on sacks because of pass calls..1st and Goal at the 5…Run..Run..run..kick FG IF NECESSARY

    Tay Hopkins

    @Ed V Same. I had to cancel my airbnb this morning.lol It definitely saved me a lot of money.

    Tay Hopkins

    @KingJamie The Mad we can’t win them all, but we can run the ball.lol I love the chiefs, but constructive criticism is okay.

    Elephant of Light

    @Jim Davis I still have no idea what the pass play was, as it fell apart so fast.

Tierell Knight

We gonna bounce back next year and use this game as motivation to get back here and win.

    Ed V

    We are a lot older, and teams are figuring us out…we need a new defensive scheme, and we need a true number 2 receiver. But that true number two will only work if Mahomes passes him the ball, if he stays in love with hill and kelce them in big games we are toast….

    Gloria Evans

    But I thought the game was rigged and Mahomes was in on it. 😆😆😆😆😆

    Ed V

    @Gloria Evans I’m glad I went
    To the Super Bowl game when we beat the niners…I was set to go this year after missing last year…nothing is for sure…

    YTSPORTSRAGE

    Brady lost a few too . CHIEFS DYNASTY STILL STRONG TOP 3 TEAM💪

    Ryan Blanche

    That’s what the Falcons said after 28-3 but haven’t been anywhere close

Momchil Yordanov

That was the most epic meltdown I’ve seen this season. And 2nd half Mahomes was awful. He was either getting sacked or throwing to the opposing team. The game didn’t end earlier only because Apple on the Bengals couldn’t catch a direct pass from Mahomes. What happened to him?!?

    Charlie Rogers

    @Ed V well Jim Kelly NEVER won a Superbowl, and that was a defining characteristic of he and Marino’s respective careers.

    Brent Thompson

    The mafia had his family held hostage in an abandoned warehouse by the river. Had to throw the big game.

    Susan Cunningham

    It was obvious, there was two much difference between epic and losing. 2 and 2 together? These players know whst they are doing

    Dom Mirra

    Fixed

bowlchamps37

Arrogance is their biggest enemy and it again showed today. After 21-3 they tried to put up a show and it backfired. Shame

    Show Me Mo Graves

    Yes! I agree! Confidence is one thing, arrogance is another and I have often been concerned they’ve crossed the line into arrogance.

    Jer Kuh

    @Show Me Mo Graves I agree 100%. Just keep listening to the media.

erock33

If you have been a Chiefs fan longer than 5 years you know disappointment is a way of life.

    Zachary Puentes

    @sam wilson every team has their year

    Jeff J

    Maybe, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay now. Andy, Patrick, and Spagnolo lost this game.

    OCPARKWAY

    The Chiefs blew an 18 point lead in 2021 vs the Bengals..Lost an 18 point lead at Home in 2017 vs the Titans.. Big Playoff losses are a problem with Andy.. They also blew a 28 point lead vs the Colts in the 2013 NFL Season..ouch

    Ryan Blanche

    Or a fan of Reid in general, especially when he had all those great seasons in Philly yet couldn’t get a ring

    Bryan Gonzalez

    Chiefs recently won a super bowl lmao disasspointment

♡glowinqoreoxo♡#SAVEUKRAINE

Chiefs fan for life ❤️💛 This loss hurts bad right now. Especially with all the ignorant slander against Mahomes and his family. But I’m thankful for this team and their dedication! #ChiefsKingdom

    Geri Sundararaj

    Yes , A loss does hurt ,but thankful we had a good year .

    Ed V

    @♡glowinqoreoxo♡#SAVEUKRAINE agreed! I was ready to
    Go to the Super Bowl, now I will take the fam to a game next year at arrowhead, and will go to Arizona to see them play there and against the chargers in LA…go chiefs!!!

    Ryan M

    @Tray Day 216 Baker, is that you?

    Brendan Lake

    @Tray Day 216 you subscribe to a bengals YouTube channel yet you’re trying to come off as an unbiased Browns fan haha. If you’re a bengals fan just own it, the bengals played a great second half and won fair and square. I dont know why you have to pretend

    living forever

    @Ed V mahomes wants to win championships. The team failed yesterday. The defense failed to provide a pass rush. Andy reid sometimes falls into a terrible habit of throwing too much, when at times he needs to run. This is the danger when you have a tremendously gifted quarterback. You still are responsible for coaching the team, and adapting a vision when the opposite team adjusts. With that said Patrick didnt perform well in the second half.

Pondzi Scheme

Love you Andy.. hopefully you guys learn from this, we’ll never just walk into the SB.. teams are going to be gunning for us every single week… come back and leave no doubt next season!

    Tannor foster Foster

    So your saying we have a chance to win the bowl next year

    Oaktown 650

    It’s time for us to move on from Andy once again he goes away from the run for no apparent reason

    Ryan

    @Oaktown 650 Dumbest comment ever. 4 straight AFCCG appearances and a SB win and you want to fire him? Jesus

Grayday

I had a bad feeling when we didn’t kick the field goal before the half I thought that would come back and bite us in the end

    Brad Bray

    Watching the Chiefs since 1966, I TOTALLY AGREE, that was a HUGE lift to the Bengals knowing they just stole 3 or 7 points from going further behind. And not running 2nd half was a killer. McKinnon was getting 6-8 yards a pop, and then 2nd half he does it again on first play then a stupid screen that gets intercepted was all that told me this team is gunna choke. Just knew it.

    Zier Zthero

    Ahhahaha

    Yahhz

    KC over rated 🥶

    Zier Zthero

    @Yahhz facts!!!

    Fabian

    @Brad Bray *I’m calling BS every KC fan thought they were PULLING this one out in OT…*

Andrew Phillips 🦅

Great job, Andy on a great season. You guys just came a bit short. Still came farther than most of the teams did. Good luck to you next year! Miss you here in Philly 🦅 💯

    La Grange Custom Guitars

    We would trade him for a couple cornerbacks or a good pass rusher if your interested.

red royce

That deep ball to Hill was open but just a second late getting to him. Great play by that guy to knock the ball out. Seen people saying why go deep for the home run but Mahomes was off just a tick the second half. Thanks for the season guys. I been around for years when we never got close to this spot at the end of the year.

    Tony Scott

    @Zak Knight he threw it deep into double coverage for absolutely no reason. You saying it was the right call makes no sense. If nobody was open he should’ve thrown it away.

    Alex Rodriguez

    @Tony Scott for being a second off it was a INT and a lucky one at that. The ball could’ve deflected either side and been a incomplete pass. If not, it’s a huge play and chiefs win and we’re having a different conversation.

    Tony Scott

    @Alex Rodriguez if you play the if game anything is possible. If Rodney Harrison makes a better play on the helmet catch the Patriots go undefeated. If Eli doesn’t escape the sack on the Manningham catch the Patriots win that super bowl. If the Seahawks run the ball they probably win back to back super bowls. If the falcons just run the ball and kick the FG up 8 to make it an 11 point game the Patriots lose that super bowl. If I had wings I’d be able to fly……

    James Fagan

    @Jer Kuh We’ll see next weekend. You guys are the worst SB team in recent memory

    Nate Flora

    @Tony Scott don’t forget Adam vineteri and his 5-5 CLUTCH field goals with Brady in playoffs lol and the tuck rule , and spy gate , an deflate gate , the if game is very fun lol makes me question #12 as the goat

Carnage

There’s the Andy Reid we all know and love. Blowing a post season lead.

    Helicopter 🚁 Helicopter

    U mean mahomes this is ALL On him

    Bald Hero

    @Frank Brower exactly wtf is mahomes doing dancing in circles? Just make the throws!

    Kenneth Rivera

    True. Abandon the run Reid should be his name.

    OCPARKWAY

    The last 5 Coaches to lose a playoff game with an 18+ point lead:
    2021 REID
    2019 O’Brien
    2017 REID
    2016 Quinn
    2013 REID

    Ryan Blanche

    Agreed
    Winning it all in 2019 was his one shining moment

That T-shirt Guy

This loss just completely nullifies the Bills win last week

    Kenneth Rivera

    Bills honestly would of beat Dem Bengals

    Renee Williams

    I’m watching this for fun 😊 #schadenfreude #billsmafia

Shane Farrell

Andy deserves so much credit for helping to return the Chiefs to prominence, but he was completely out coached by the Bengals coaching staff today. His play calls at the end of each half were atrocious! He made it so easy for them to stage their comeback. Also, never making adjustments in games & going away from what’s working, is mystifying at best. 🤔

    Yahhz

    KC over rated 🥶

    OCPARKWAY

    He’s the only Coach in modern day Football to blow two 18 point Home Playoff leads..Andy has to do better

    BrandonCube

    @Yahhz 🧢

Think Twice

Wish you well Andy, stay healthy and keep this team together.

    dredaylarue

    @Spencer Godfrey I don’t think they’re gonna get them in streaks but they still gonna get some

    Spencer Godfrey

    @dredaylarue agreed, i just think the glut of great young AFC QBs will prevent them from becoming a Patriot-level dynasty

    Hilawe Tesfa

    @Thomas A Vasholz Your first statement is false. Have the Bengals received a lot of praise?

    Ryan Blanche

    I feel he’s overstayed his welcome.

    Minus 2019, he just can’t execute in big games

    dredaylarue

    @Ryan Blanche I agree

George Griendling Jr

Andy “I have to do a better job” Reid says the same thing after every Chiefs loss, just like he did with the Eagles.

    Renee Williams

    McDermott, the Bills coach learned from Andy Reid and he literally does the same thing, it’s kinda frustrating Lol

    Fabian Zaiser

    im a broncos fan, but love for andy reid. What else should he say, taking responibiliy and saying you didnt do a good job is all you can do, the opposite would be to say its not my fault and lying. so be glad he says this.

    M Spivey

    He makes an honest effort to do better each time.

    Robert Poynter

    He got the chiefs a Lombardi, he does an amazing job and is by far one of the top 3 coaches in the league. Not a chiefs fan, but rather him admit he has to do a better job straight up rather than give excuses. I admire that a lot about him.

    Ryebread 722

    It’s disappointing from a fan perspective, but I respect him for taking the blame, when clearly not all of these issues were solely Andy’s fault. If I was the player on the team, I would truly appreciate Andy not throwing me under the bus. He sticks up for his guys. I hate when we lose but still admire him for doing that. If he says the wrong thing, the media blows it all out of proportion and it leads to unnecessary drama. Kinda is what it is… just hope we learn from this terrible second half and can overcome these obstacles going forward.

Neil Sasaki

Love how Andy takes the blame. That’s leadership. Pat didn’t have it today, but there is no one I would rather have.

    Elephant of Light

    Ah, Pat was on fire the first half!

    Brent

    He needs to take responsibility he made no adjustments in the second half and didn’t move to the run game when mahomes was making bad plays, Andy has enabled a lot of mahomes reckless plays

    aesir1 ases

    Reid is too smart for his team own sake

    Skrilla Forilla

    It was his fault. That call before the half was terrible. Just like that play call against the Bills when he brought in Noah Grey to run a QB option at 3rd and 1 in a critical scoring situation. Also, he wasted a timeout while challenging that play. I wouldn’t trade him for any other coach, just stating, this loss was his fault

    PrettyBoy23

    Bro he had it for the first half. Idk who came out that tunnel in 15 jersey after half but it wasn’t Patrick Lavon Mahomes

geokcmo

It’s disappointing, but I still love the Chiefs. Can’t wait till next year and we still have a great team representing Kansas City.

    Khris_ MTV’s Facts

    I think there record will be 13-4

La Grange Custom Guitars

Up by 11 at half and score 3 in the second half… Oh yea…. the last time we played this team!!!!! Come on NFL… you need some new writers.

    thebound the light

    You are on it Brother!

Ray Minyard

Unbelievable play calling in second half. The overtime drive the 2 throws to Robinson which hasn’t been thrown to for 2 years was head scratching to say the least.

    Green7Wood Triangle

    Andy can blame himself as much as he wants but it can’t be denied that even when the play call worked, Mahomes was missing some throws in the second half which could have been extended a drive.

Robert Poynter

Not a chiefs fan (giants fan) I love this coach. He puts his heart into the game. When things don’t go right he fully admits it’s all on him. I love how humble he is and has my full respect. Any team would be lucky to have him as head coach.
