MisChief-Maker 135 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 What is it about him that Andy Reid doesn't understand? Yes, we can blame the players, we can blame our injuries, we can blame Alex Smith for becoming a "game manager" once again. But the fact of the matter is Tomlin appears to have Andy's number, and I just wanna know what he can do to level the playing field as we move forward? What would you do if you were him?

jetlord 10,209 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Chiefs O-line was bad today. Can't blame Reid if three starters are out on the line. Not sure if Reid had the right LBs playing or not, but Sorenson was a disaster at safety. Gaines still seems lost and whiffed on the interception, or at least knock down, at a critical time. Bottom line? Reid doesn't have the horses to match up with Bell and Brown, just as many of us predicted. Gotta get the O-line back together or there will be plenty more losses.

ClarksvilleChief 193 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Tomlin game planned better. Andy should have know that they were gonna try to stop the run and dare us to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefensiveMan 758 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 We are a bad matchup for NE. NE is a bad matchup for Pitt. They are a bad matchup for us. I think when we get Oline back and healthy we can pound them with Hunt next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dablueguy 0 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Tomlin is an incredibly good coach and motivator. He proved why today. They came out with the intensity I feared they would, and it's an intensity we just can't seem to match. So much of football is based on emotion.

SEMO 6,811 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The cute bs only works so long. Beautiful when successful. Then there are games like today. Sooner or later you have to line up and play smash mouth football. Reid refuses to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfscall 204 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It's not Tomlin as much as Haley, imo. Every since he got canned in KC and went to Pitt, Pitt is 5-1 against KC. The lone win was when Pitt started Landry Jones at QB. Haley has an axe to grind with KC and found a weakness to exploit nearly every time.

hankstromboli 25 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I think Andy came in thinking the gimmicky plays that have worked well would work again vs Pittsburgh. it seemed like Pitts studied all our offensive formations and knew everything we were gna do. They really studied our game film and Andy failed to adjust. Our D was destroyed, no question about it and Sutton officially earned this loss. he was DREADFUL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefensiveMan 758 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Pitts defensive zone scheme neutralizes us and what we do. Tony romo commented on this. Heard this on 810am. NE rips through a zone defense. Brady will rip them this year again. Our man beater offensive scheme struggles against the zone. Pittsburgh had 3 or 4 blown coverages. One in the 1st half where Alex missed DAT completely wide open. The safety miss read it. He instead through incomplete to Tyreek being doubled. There are plenty of throws Smith missed. A couple to Robinson and one overthrow to Kelce. Understandably, his other two targets Wilson and Conley were out. Alex needs to build that trust with D-Rob. Guy can ball just look at preseason.

They’re going to be confident with the shit we saw today and try to correct it with their coaching and cute schemes. I’ll tell you right now if Bowman joins the Chiefs and plays next to DJ, this D will be nothing but scary & great. Not just good, but great.

MisChief-Maker 135 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 If Reid has any sense, he'll start devising a plan of how to beat the Steelers RIGHT NOW. Put all the chips on the table and make sure you have a surprise for them when the playoffs arrive. But the question is, can Andy go against his own philosophy/instincts in order to get the win? That's what I'm not sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm not sure about. I genuinely think that Reid/Smith duo is incapable of beating or competing against Tomlin. This was one of the worst Chiefs offensive performance in years and might be the worst of this era. For some reason they regress way too much.

This was one of the worst Chiefs offensive performance in years and might be the worst of this era. For some reason they regress way too much. This is why Andy needs to put plans together months before we (hopefully) make the playoffs and face Tomlin again. The two issues would obviously be...How do we stop Bell and how can we get our offence into the game? When you have three games where you fail to get even twenty points on the board, then it's time to come with something new otherwise the Steelers will just repeat their usual tactics. We simply MUST hit them with something they won't be expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly Steelers are moving in the wrong direction this year compared to other seasons yet Chiefs never looked like a capable NFL offense during the game.
