Whom's are you referring to?
So lemme get this straight- you can't handle me pointing out time management is fairly minor compared to everything else a coach is responsible for, and then you flame me for a "whom's" and time management. Weak.

While I do see your point, Reid has historically been really bad with clock management. This isn't news.

When you're an NFL HC you shouldn't have any clock management gaffs. A slip up or two is understandable. Habitual issues? Not so much.
And maybe so- I just don't think it even begins to outweigh the other stuff Reid does. I'd much rather focus on occasionally curious playcalling and gameplans which have a much more tangible impact play to play. Maybe that makes me a homer, maybe I am not as sensitive to time management arguments as I used to. I'd rather have the right play than force the play

Wasn't this KC's division to lose before this game? Oakland is good but not great. This win just makes that clear, KC is the better team, but to me they were before tonight.
I have argued that for a while even If I think it's a close call. That doesn't necessarily match the general narrative however about the division or Chiefs, however.

I get that, just sayin'. And I'm not that into the NFL but my team is the Raiders and even I see KC is (a little) better.

Clock management is very important to any coach on any level of football, period. Stick to basketball where you can call 150 TO's every two seconds.

Nope- there are >60 plays and most of them have minimal or no serious time management decisionmaking to them that a monkey couldn't figure out. Stick to college football if we're sticking to dumb flamer arguments.

If the Jets can upset the Bills they will have sole possession of first place on Sunday

A Pats loss and Jets win the same week this season may tear the universe apart. The Pats can easily still win 14 games and the Jets losing 14.


Yep, it's way too early, people were saying Tom was done after a tough loss last year ... Bottom line is 1 game doesn't make a season, unless it's the playoffs and there is no tomorrow... If the Pats start losing consistently then obviously a problem exists... Chiefs have won like 23-27 regular season games, they have been a solid team the last couple years, so it doesn't surprise me they battled in this one... Once we get to like week 8 or 9 things start taking shape a bit ..

There is really not much to talk about. Chiefs outplayed the Pats and mitigated the damage of a few good plays the Pats made. Think it was record of yards against a BB defense, outrageous fantasy numbers by runners, receivers, QB. A bonafide ass-kicking if I've ever seen one.

Terrible game but you have to give it to the Chiefs!

A big F U to all the "talking heads" saying Patriots had this game in the bag!

Wussy. What happened to you in the off-season?
Got older! Plus this past week I've gotten about 9 hours of sleep

Defense will be a concern all season it appears. However, Chiefs seem to have the Pats number

They're just a good team. It's ok to lose a football game to a good team. What sucks is that we got even more banged up last night.

Well, talking heads said the Chiefs aren't a good team. Which is utter garbage!

Missed it, who is hurt now?
