hankstromboli 25 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Man, I watched the D Harris catch in the end zone. It looked like he had possession, stepped both feet down and then got the ball ripped out. Thought that could have been ruled a td I know people are pissed about going for it but I love it. Always hoped Andy would be more aggressive in play-calling so im fine with the call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksww 484 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I was screaming take the 3 and then was screaming that's a TD!! They should've taken the 3 points and if I was Reid I would've challenged the play. It is more aggressive, but being down 9 the right call was taking the 3. Being down 13 or more then I completely understand going for the TD there. 9 points and plenty of time, you gotta take the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankstromboli 25 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 I was actually fine with going for it. I have always hated the conservative play of Andy so this was a change. My big issue was the play call. Spread the field out but get K Hunt out there. Your best player is off the field on a critical play. uggghh Id think taking the field goal was prob the right call but still glad andy went for it. it's nice of him to grow a set. Plus we were getting manhandled on both sides of the ball so why not let the offense step up and try to do something. Chiefs O couldn't step up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcchief4lif 910 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Shoulda coulda woulda.. It was fine. Why not give it to the guys and say get this shit?? Hindsight yep the 3. But at that point in the game. there was nothing they had done offensively and that would have been a huge boost if they made it. Kind of a panic move? Maybe but, bout all they can do is learn from this and move on. Maybe there won't be such panic if this comes around again?? Steelers are a matchup nightmare for the chiefs. They are just that Smash mouth smack you around team. That the chiefs are not. But even though shit did not go thier way they did play them tight.. 2 plays the other way they walk out with a win. If things keep trending the way they are they will meet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 You've got to kick FG and cut it to one possession game at that point. That was pure ego from Big Red in my opinion. Bill Billichek gave away the AFC Championship in Denver two years ago with the same type of decisions. He even did it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerborn77 276 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Reid said he went with his gut in going for the TD, someone needs to talk sense into him if that is the case. The Harris play was not a TD, the stupid Megatron/Dez Bryant rule would have made it an incomplete pass since he did not possess it all the way to the ground (not just two feet but falling to the ground). It might be one of the dumbest rules in football but at least we didn't lose a playoff game because of it like the cowboys did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerborn77 276 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 If this isn't a touchdown (or catch at the 1) and the Megatron one referenced in the article isn't a TD, no way they would call the Harris play a TD https://www.sbnation.com/2017/1/15/14267962/dez-bryant-catch-controversy-packers-vs-cowboys-nfl-playoffs-divisional-round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankstromboli 25 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Why not give it to the guys and say get this shit?? Absolutely. We got manhandled all game and Reid basically said "man up and get this". We couldn't "man up" at a critical point so we deserved to lose. Steelers whooped our team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had control with both feet down in the end zone, then the defender stripped the ball after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefmanzada 466 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Which is very disappointing cuz we shouldn’t fuckin lose at Arrowhead no matter the circumstances. Once we get LDT and Morse back along with Albert Wison, this offense should be back on track. Conley is greatly missed. Smith gonna have to throw to Robinson to establish that chemistry asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith gonna have to throw to Robinson to establish that chemistry asap I don't see how Conley's 2 catches per game are that big of a loss. But no doubt he will have to develop some rapport with Robinson and even Kemp now. That type of trust/timing does take some time. Also Alex really struggled in handling the wind yesterday. His passes were sailing on him. Oline was a disaster but there's real hope there with Morse and LDT likely to return soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moons314 2,463 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I agree with going for it, and with the point spread at the time, I understand his line of thinking. I also really liked that he committed to going for it on 4th down prior to the 3rd down play. What I didn't like was the play call on 4th down . I realize we were struggling to run, but IMO if you line up on 3rd down from the 2 yard line and don't get it, you run it again. I felt like passing on 4th down was playing to the strength of the Steelers and let the line off the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When healthy we are generally one of the better teams in the league at getting to second level and springing bigger plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend of AC 269 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Would have been a great challenge. Reid flopped and lost this game. All on him. Reid had a part no doubt, but cmon, he doesn’t play defense. The defense got gashed badly by Le’Veon Bell yet again. And let’s not even mention the offense.

DieHard 2,061 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 And Reid doesn't block. D was getting run over. I was wanting the 3, but have no trouble with going for it. You can't knock them for being conservative and then knock them for being aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefmanzada 466 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Reid is in charge of the offense. Zero first downs the first half is unacceptable. Him being an elite HOF coach, he needs to take full responsibility. Sutton too. There was no answer to Bell. The personnel is who we got, and they played like they didn’t have a plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously missing starters hurts, but nothing worked in that first half against that D. Regardless of how the offense performed however, the entire team looked flat and clearly overmatched. Reid had to of known this was coming after the way they got pummeled by the Jags. Hopefully it’s just a bad game and not the beginning of a trend.

MisChief-Maker 135 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It's interesting that we're all blaming our defence when in reality they only conceded 17 points (we gave them two points via a silly error). If Fulton doesn't toss that ball above Smith's head, and you add on the three points we could have gotten from taking a FG, then all of a sudden we're one point behind with the ball in our hands in that last drive. That's how fine the margins can be in this game and it's often the little mistakes that can make all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dablueguy 0 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It was absurd to go for it. Absolutely absurd. As a Head Coach, you have to play situation and logic. Gut feelings are fine when appropriate, but not in this instance. The game situation was go for the FG, period. I love Andy, but that was a huge mistake. I understand why he didn't challenge. I think he would have lost the challenge. But a challenge at that point would have been a hail mary, so why not? I can't kill him for not challenging, but he should be killed for the decision in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should have gone for the TD on 3rd down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
