Andy Reid is why they lost the game.

Andy Reid is not playing games.

He is showing coaches in the NFL.

You know, it's funny because Arians is no risk it.

No biscuit, right?

But Fortune favors the bold Andy Reid.

Don't coach scared.

And, by the way, some of that may be Super Bowl equity, right?

Maybe he's looking for his filly special play because his understudy won the Super Bowl before he did.

But Andy Reid where?

However, he's gotten to where he's gotten.

Ah, guy who, because of clock management, was considered maybe a weakness deep into the playoffs, is really showing out right now deep in the playoffs.

Oh, but read you have Patrick Mahomes.

It's easy when you have Mahomes in a complement of weapons.

Okay, take Patrick Mahomes away.

What then, with your backup quarterback?

Now you faked out.

Tony Romo.

Tony Romo, right?

Doesn't have candy See into the future.

Tony Romo.

They're not going to run a play here.

That's by design.

Their body language, by design, is meant to make you think they're just trying to draw you offsides.

That's the point.

Oh, they're just looking for a first down.

And then he runs a play with his backup quarterback on fourth down.

Really?

With the game on the line, they complete this first down.

The game's over and it worked.

And the Reed is a gangster period and a big coaching advantage at this point and is, you know, if anything, enhancing his legacy game after game, he was the difference.

At the end of the game.

He iced it.

It's Andy Reid.

Well, first of all, you're wrong.

Uh, Andy Reid didn't enhance his legacy yesterday.

The bottom line is he enhanced it when he finally won a Super Bowl because we all knew Andy Reid to be a great coach.

But only thing that escaped his resume was a Super Bowl championship.

All of those years he coached in Philly, I would know I was there covering the manner that dude he couldn't get over the hump and then got to finally got to a Super Bowl, and then they lost the Tom Brady in New England.

But the bottom line is this.

When you look at that last play, even though we appreciate it, remember to play before that.

Max you got 12 yards to go and he scrambles because he couldn't find an open receiver.

That wasn't a set, design play or scramble or anything like that.

And he was running for his life and needed a first down and and scrambled out of the pocket and ended up getting those yardage.

That was a broken play right there.

So I'm gonna give more credit to him than Andy Reid in that particular situation.

That's number one number two.

I'm also gonna give credit for the loss to Kevin Stefanski to some degree of coach of the year candidate in my eyes, who did, I think did a hell of a job in Cleveland.

But should Nick Chubb have gotten the ball more than 13 times?

I kind of think so.

I kind of think so.

Nick Job is to start.

Get that man the damn ball.

They were having problems stopping this brother, particularly in the second half.

Running the football.

How about Kareem Hunt?

Last time I checked, that's the study.

When we look at the Cleveland Browns, we look at them as having arguably the best dynamic duo in the backfield in the entire NFL.

Kareem Hunt has six carries, 66 So I'm saying, I'm like, Wait a minute here.

Nick Chubb can run the football.

13.

Carry 69 yards.

Kareem Hunt could run the football.

Six.

Carry 32 yards.

Mali.

Both of those averages of 5.3 yards per carry.

You think you should have run the ball just a little bit more?

UH, more than 19 times?

I think so.

But they didn't.

I ain't counting three rushes for how teams beat the Chiefs.

They had to rush for at least 160.

You go everyone this season and who's more capable of running for those yards in the Cleveland Browns?

Eso if you Kevin Stefanski giving them the damn ball.

The Baker Mayfield to meet and play a bad game.

That one interception but obviously was not a good one.

But the bottom line is outside of that.

I thought Baker Mayfield played a relatively good game, but you got to run the football against Kansas City and then went.

Patrick Mahomes goes down and he's concussed, Okay?

And you know, you got Chad Henny in there and he comes in and throw some inexplicable interception.

All the way into the insult.

You've had chance after chance of the chance and you're moving the ball now, Rashard Higgins, you know, you gotta applaud the effort with him trying to reach for the end zone and then ultimately gets to touch back because he fumbles it out of the end zone and stuff like that because that would have brought it to within 16 10.

And we get all of that.

But it was still plenty of time toe overcome that, particularly when Patrick Mahomes goes down, you've got to run the football.

So I'm not.

I'm not sitting.

I know Andy Reid's a great coach.

I know him personally.

Yes, I'm telling you right now, the one thing that I would say I didn't walk away thinking about Andy Reid.

Yesterday I walked away thinking about what Cleveland didn't do, running the football, and I want I want I ran away thinking about any on that Scram.

Well, I think it's because he went for it.

He way he didn't coach.

Scary.

Go ahead.

Look, the Browns are were a bit snakebit like, first of all, the touch back, right?

Like, you know, I don't like the rule.

Most people don't like things.

It's almost a touchdown.

The rest of the refs missed right.

The refs missed the helmet to helmet shot, right?

Like Esso, they missed the call.

It's a bad rule, plus a missed call.

The Browns are a little snakebit, but I want to get back to a few things.

You said Baker Mayfield.

I thought was very good, not just look at this.

Very good bordering on excellent.

I give him a B plus almost in a minus.

I thought he was quite good yesterday, in fact, and when you mentioned running the ball, the Chiefs were stout against the run, like they really weren't.

They were putting themselves in bad positions, running the ball in terms of down and distance.

Because the Chiefs were stout against the run early and Stefanski tried to mix some things up.

And Baker hit job a couple of times in the hands on plays that maybe could change the game and chop drops the ball they were trying then later in the game as the Kansas City defense.

Okay, but late later in the game is the Kansas City defense loosened a bit, then Kareem Hunt was getting the ball, and when Mahomes going out of the game, they were coming back on them.

Stephen A.

The game had a feeling like the Browns maybe could win it late, precisely because they did start to run the ball as the game wore on.

Precisely because Mahomes was out of the game and it looked like, Wow, as snakebit is, the Browns have been.

Here is the comeback.

That's why the read call was so big on fourth and one.

Not only do you go for it, but you make it look like you're not going to go for it with your backup quarterback.

And then you go for it and the game's over That that is the moment of truth play, the incredibly high leverage play where Andy Reid earlier in his career, was killed.

For stuff like that, he comes through and it wins them the game.

Or at least Isis the win.

That's why I left that game.

Early on, I'm thinking about a bad rule in a missed call and poor Cleveland Browns, and by the end of the game, I thought boy Andy Reid is really showing off right now.

Yeah, the Browns were given a gift, though, and they weren't able to capitalize a big time gift, big time gift.

And again, that one played in.

Andy Reid called.

I mean, he's got courage.

He's courageous.

I give him props for that.

I'm just thinking that's not the reason.

That's not the thing You should have walked away from this game thinking about.
