Okay, Andy Reid is my new favorite NFL coach. My favorite before him was always Don Shula.

[@trienasee2136]

Andy is my favorite coach in the NFL...but sometimes he has game management issues at the end of games...don't take a time out, or takes time out when not needed, go for or don't go for td or field goal. He needs a proven pro for his assistant to help him make these finite decisions when the game is winding down then he will go to and win the Superbowl in my opinion!

As a “skeptic” (on Mahomes), hoping to find and stack “our visual data, interviews, pros and those close to insiders, etc” to prove I’ve nothing to question, re: what I’m seeing now, is “for real” and , will last thru the “ages”; this interview (among some others that have supported Mahomes, the player/the man), ... is one of best to confirm that what we’re seeing is genuine, and that “P.M, Jr. , QB”, will be the “phenom” all are hanging around his neck ... I still have concerns, ie. Injury .. but, feel great hearing Coach Reid’s take on his QB! Is good, genuine, and enlightening - in the “positive” Is a youtube clip worth watching ... to catch the small comments that speak volumes ... Love it!

The team that kicks off does get a possession in OT. If teams like the Chiefs and Falcons weren’t horrible at playing defense, the OT rules would be a non-issue. If anything, just use the NCAA/NBA format for the Super Bowl and play complete quarters until there is a winner.

[@tonywright9029]

The OT rules were an issue because the Patriots Defense gave up 31 2nd half points, 24 on 4 consecutive drives in the 4th qtr... they could not stop the Chiefs just like the Chiefs could not stop them. Whoever won the coin toss was going to win that game.. A complete quarter is a great idea!!

[@Rome_77]

Tyreek Hill is a super-speedster. But Desean Jackson can fly AND has elite ball tracking skills and superb body control. Djax is also tiny but hes built tall - where’s tyreek is tiny and built small. Tyreek chops with out of control speed - Djax strides with control over his speed. Tyreek Hill is a track athlete on a football field. Desean Jackson is a baller with track speed. If I had to choose it’s a no brainer - I’m taking Djax in his prime.

[@chief45kc2572]

Well, Jackson has been clocked in the 40 yd. dash at 4.35. Hill has been clocked at 4.21. And you obviously don't watch Chiefs football or you would know that Hill makes great catch after great catch. Let's also not forget Hill didn't even play WR in college. If you are telling me that Hill's speed on the football field looks "out of control" then you aren't watching the same game as everyone else. Not trying to hate, but give it a few more years and Jackson's actual stats will pale in comparison to Hill's.

[@Rome_77]

Jayhawk 2572 I admit Tyreek Hill is actually faster. I think Desean Jackson is a better ball player. Tyreeks speed looks electric - Djax speed looks effortless.

[@DireWxlf_]

Cheetah had better stats last year (his 3rd year) than DJax has ever had (11 seasons). That alone kills your statement. But i'll continue, Tyreek also has more touchdowns in his 3 year career (25) than DJax had in his first 5 years with Philly (23) and more than DJax has had in the last 5 seasons with Washington and Tampa (20). Also, you say all this bullshit about their height and weight even though their the same height and Tyreek has 10 pounds on him. I would also guarantee you Tyreek has twice the muscle mass as DeSoft Jackson. Desean Jackson is 32 years old, Tyreek is 25. In 7 years the Cheetah will be sitting pretty with at least 2 rings, more touchdowns, oh and Pat Mahomes btw. Desean Jackson has at that age. You can try to lie to yourself and the internet all day long, but stats dont lie. Have a nice day.
