Redskins vs Chiefs Pregame Thread

if we were to beat the number 1 (some might say 2) team in the power rankings, I bet we would move up at least 2 spots!!!

But seriously, KC is a true Andy Reid team - solid across the board, knows how to win in the regular season and takes a solid, no slacking, performance by even good teams to win.

This will be a tough game, and likely a loss, but the Skins seem up to the challenge. In the end, I give Reid the edge over Gruden on clock management, and Smith the edge over KC on Redzone performance.

That's some damning commentary right there. He was reviled in Philly for his poor game management skills:

Andy Reid manages the game clock like a monkey manages its feces… improperly, inappropriately timed, and just way too hands-on.

To say his clock management skills are abysmal is the understatement of his regime – it’s literally his biggest flaw as a Head Coach. And this is universally known.

Andy Reid just can’t help himself. If there is a timeout to be wasted or a time-sensitive drive to be stretched out over seven minutes, he’s going to find a way to do it. It’s happened plenty of times in the past, and it happened once again in the Chiefs’ depressing 18-16 loss at the hands of the Steelers.

Andy Reid still doesn’t know how to manage a clock, and it cost the Chiefs another playoff game | For The Win (http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/01/andy-reid-clock-management-kansas-city-chiefs-pittsburgh-steelers-nfl-playoffs)

Reid is definitely one of the worst HC’s when it comes to clock management, perhaps the absolute worst. Edge to Gruden for sure and that’s not giving credit to Gruden, Reid is just comically bad.

I still put Gruden below Reid, he just hasn't had as many opportunities to show off his "talent"

I felt like Gruden has been doing a decent job of time management this year, it feels like most games we keep our timeouts until the end of the half. Reid is definitely worse.

I can just see it now ... crucial drive near the end of the game. Both teams call a time out after several critical seconds waste away. Unsure of which team is being charged the time-out, both Gruden and Reid call a second time-out, causing each team to be assessed a technical foul, which off-set. Each side calls ANOTHER time-out to make sure that they can discuss the play. ... This goes on until both teams have wasted their full complements of time outs.

The team on offense then calls an off-tackle run good for one-yard.

Watching the Chiefs Chargers game, I think we're gonna win this one thanks to Tomsula/Manusky and the pass rush: their line really isn't great, Smith was sacked multiple times by 4 or 5 men pressures, some times on back to back plays!

We have a ridiculous amount of injuries.

Chiefs will be tough, but Hail to the skins baby! 24-20

Could it be? I dreamed of the days where we got coaches that were great at the job they had and never had any desire to keep rising in the ranks. If he can do for us what he did for the 49ers as d-line coach I'd be ecstatic. That front was damned good for years, and they never had a big name on it besides Justin Smith.
