There are many reasons why the Kansas City chiefs could not come out victorious last Sunday against the Eagles of Philadelphia. Bad quarter, game, Coupled with the inability to stop the Eagles air attack was one of the main ones.
However, according to the former head coach of Patriots Bill Belichick, the loss of Sunday resolved to a crucial misstep. On the “Let’s go!” Podcast, Belichick pointed out that he had created the Mian factor who led to the disappearance of the chiefs was the inability of head coach Andy Reid to fill the position of the left tackle. This only error made snowball all the season and finally led to the KC crumble in the big match.
“For Kansas City this year, a good place to watch is the situation of the left tackle. Obviously, Andy and Brett [Veach] The managing director identified it as a problem and, you know, they took Kingsley [Suamataia] In the first or second round anything. They took it high like the second choice after Digne. It did not work, then they played four offensive plated with their last offensive tackle at the end of the season in the playoffs being Joe Thuney who is really a goalkeeper. He never played in the tackle because he played it at NC State at university.
“They knew what the problem was. They tried to take care of it. It did not work with Kingsley, it did not work with [Wanya] Morris. Then they did a business that did not work and now they ended up playing a guard at Tackle. You are preparing against certain teams and you can get out of it, but until you are facing the best teams or the best team, it was a problem for them. It was a problem for them in the Super Bowl. »»

Reid and the director general Brett Veach caught the problem very early in the season, but the real mistake was not to find a long -term solution. While the goalkeeper of all pro-Pro Joe Thunes is incredible in his position, that does not mean that he was the same when he was transferred to the left tackle.
Chiefs know that they must strengthen their offensive line before the next season of the 2025 NFL, in particular with G Trey Smith potentially on outputs. Find a Permanent adjustment for LT should be one of the largest priorities of chefs at the moment, so that it does not cost them next year.
