Jet sweep on the 1/2 yard line followed by a shotgun handoff.

I was yelling at the TV. didn't they like wind up calling a timeout or there was just an oversight from the enemy team that just let it go? I've been saying there's a lack of urgency for awhile... so, good word.

In the last 3 years Chicago media/press might be the biggest pussies in the country. They throw snowballs at Nagy then bitch about him later in their columns.

That jet sweep with Kmet was Nagy-ish

I had the exact same thought just based purely on the plays. I didn't even see the scene you're talking about, but I just noticed the plays called in the first half were pretty bad and thought, "Damn, this isn't at all like the offensive rhythm of the last few games."
I have no idea whether he's back to calling plays or not, or slowly easing in to calling more plays than he has been, or whatever the case may be. But ESPN 1000 mentioned the same thing on Monday, that Nagy may be slowly and slyly back to calling some plays...

In fact, the Chiefs had their own too-cute play that resulted in a turnover on Sunday.
You're kind of damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't at the goal line. You can't just run it up the gut or QB sneak it every single play on the goal line. Everyone's crashing downward. You **have** to change it up and stay varied.
Any time you run it and get stuffed, you're "predictable". Any time you change it up to try to trick the defense, you're "too cute". Playcalling is a results-based business, which is fine.

My favorite teams
Disagree. You can be varied enough to be unpredictable without being "too cute".
The first requirement for a play that is "too cute" is to have "unpredictable" personnel packages (ie "they EXPECT me to put in Graham and Kmet in receiving roles so I will fuck them up by having Graham block and Kmet be RB!")
L-o-fucking-L
resulting in players being asked to perform to their *weaknesses* rather than their strengths.
The second requirement of being "too cute" is using unnecessary motion in a part of the field that has shrunk allowing the defense to sharply focus on their lanes and gap responsibilities regardless of foolish pre-snap "jazz".
In 2018, Nagy took advantage of NFL defenses largely being unaccustomed to pre-snap motions in the redzone where traditionally teams approached it with "hat-on-hat" philosophy of winning in the trenches.
That temporary lack of discipline did not last long. NFL defense stopped falling on their heels to the razzle-dazzle in the redzone and started just attacking. And it has worked. Nagy has not "tricked" any NFL defense into a redzone TD in years.
Nagy's early successes at redzone tricks is one of the lingering banes of his coaching existence.
But that is all tied into his other defining limitation: "Be You" - fucking worst football mantra ever for a head coach. If he can "un-Disney-fy" his brain, he may have a chance. I hold little to no hopes as I go into Sunday rooting anyway despite my own judgments of him as a leader.

I saw the same thing. The camera also went to Lazor. He was not looking at his play sheet nor did he look like he was invested in anything really. He looked liked a bored fan sitting there.
When I saw both things, my first thought was that Nagy took play-calling back.
Does anyone remember is those camera shots were before the TE jet sweep at the goal line?

unless he's going out on a route he has no business in goal line packages.
