An absolute organizational embarrassment for the Chiefs today, one that cannot be overstated. I don’t care what Andy Reid or anyone else has to say after the game; words are meaningless at this point. This game pounds out in ALL CAPS that significant change must come in the offseason and not just to the roster.
A complete overhaul of the WR position is, at this point, not even worthy of discussion. Rashee Rice has a job. The rest can find new homes. Rebuilding this position is EASILY their top priority and Brett Veach has to hit at least one home run here while trying to figure out why this season went the way it did and what his role was in that.
There isn’t a single coach on the offensive side who can make a compelling case that they should be back and that includes Matt Nagy. Regardless of talent, this has consistently been one of the most disorganized offenses in the NFL. I understood why this was happening in 2012 when Brady Quinn was throwing to Jonathan Baldwin and Terrence Copper. But Nagy’s offense has done what I thought could never be done. It has turned the best player in football into an anxious, jittery, and hesitant player unsure of what’s going to happen every single time he takes the snap.
Lastly, Andy Reid has to look in the mirror and figure out why his team got away from him this season. Because they did. Every week it has seemed as if the other team came with more fire. That is inexcusable.
They’ll still probably win the AFC West. They’ll play a home game in the playoffs. Hell, they might even win one though there is NO reason to believe they’ll win more than that. But this organization is at a crossroads. It MUST meet the moment.
