Rivera can learn a lot from Andy Reid

[AceBoogie]

With 1 min 55secs left to play and up 16 against the Denver Broncos, the Cheifs decided to let their DT throw a Td pass. Why? According to Reid:

"I've learned this over time: You can't score enough points against these teams,'' Reid said. "We don't take anything for granted. We're going to score as much as we can do it.''

Remember this the next time we blow a lead by going into conservative mode.

I like Reid's playcalls. If you watch his games, something new is trickled in while the team is ensuring their strengths are predominant. 

I think he's an underrated coach in all honesty. Whether he can be good in the postseason remains to be seen.

Many coaches can learn a lot from Andy Reid.

 

Clock management is absolutely at the bottom of that list.

The Chiefs are/could be a decent parallel for us. The defense, the run game, a mobile QB, great TE, and questionable coaching at times. 

Since Eric Berry isn't walking through our door, though...let's at least learn the quicker pass offense that helps Reid's QB and WRs.

Especially in the Super Bowl.

Reid is one of the greatest offensive minds the NFL has ever seen. He's arguably second only to Bill Walsh in his understanding of the West Coast offense. His effectiveness at running that system and the brilliance of his play designs have made numerous average quarterbacks look like superstars.

But yeah, the biggest criticism of him tends to be poor game management (just like Rivera). That, and the fact that his teams have a tendency to fade in the postseason.

Outside of them both being mobile, I couldn't disagree more.  Cam and Alex aren't close to being the same "type" QB.

IMO.

Andy was most likely thinking about the Chiefs highly improbable win over the Panthers when he said this.  

Rivera grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory that day.

Forget the fourth quarter.  I'm tired of going conservative in the second quarter.

Can't pin that one on Ron

Cam's int and KB's fumble gave that one away...horrible loss...likely worst of the year

Cam and KB's poor decision making/play were only fuel on the fire started by Ron's "play not to lose" approach once this team has a lead.  

Ron lacks a killer instinct.

Smith is a pure West Coast QB.

Which, to this day, baffles me.

In his introductory presser, Rivera came off like a guy with no mercy.  It was like watching Conan describe what was best in life.

Somewhere amidst the adversity of the first two seasons, Rivera went from barbarian to librarian.

I am half expecting to hear Ron say "It is what it is" and "a punt is a good play" in his next presser, then his transition to Fox ball will be complete.
