Steelers vs. Chiefs: Five questions with the enemy
By Kim Myers
Who has worst clock management skills, Mike Tomlin or Andy Reid?
"Mike Tomlin has his share of troubles with the clock, but let’s give the king his due here. Andy Reid wrote the book, the sequel, the cliff notes, and your book report about poor clock management. I’m convinced he lives in a perpetual day dream of being in a bad Dolph Lundgren movie where nothing can happen until the clock on the bomb reads 0:05. Need an example? This past week against the Jets, the Chiefs got the ball back with 2:00 to go in the first half and all three timeouts, and getting the ball to start the second half. Perfect scoring opportunity. So what do we do? Short pass to Kelce, short pass to West, run Ware up the middle…we are now at our own 29 yard line with only 45 seconds left. Hey, maybe we should use a timeout! Now, with 71 yards to go in under a minute, we begin our two minute offense. Face palm. That two minute offense, of course, consists of two incomplete passes down the field and a sack on third down. An ideal scoring opportunity at the end of the half ended at the Chiefs own 32 yard line as time ran out (while we still had two timeouts)…and not because the offense couldn’t move the ball."
