Oh boy! One scoring drive against Jacksonville!!
What's your point here?
We've seen Andy get points with Alex Smith. 28 point lead, 18 point lead, what happened then? Shhhhhhh. It's too sad to talk about.
Get us some Gifs of Big Red taking the walk of shame across the field with the score graphics up, losing both of those games by 1 after having commanding leads.
Oh, make sure you add your little WITHOUT MAHOMES! to those as well.
Is there any coach in playoff history that's blown leads that big TWICE? Spoiler alert: No.
Hes also the only coach I'm aware of that had to be verbally assaulted by a player and knocked off balance to get his best skill position player involved in the biggest game of his coaching career. Oh the estrogen was flowing here after that. Mr Wizard nearly went full Florio.
Perhaps the reason Big Red goes down 2 scores so often is that it's easier to call the game from behind than to call the game with the lead.
Our offensive production certainly goes down the toilet with a lead, as Andy turtles up despite having the best arm in the universe at his disposal, while going down 10-17 points seems to ignite the engines and the offense comes roaring back.
I guess it's easier for the "true fans" to cherry pick the good, and completely disregard the hilarious to tragi-comic playoff performances that resulted in him needing over 2 decades as a head coach to win that first title.
Revisionists writing up narratives saying Andy had nothing on those Philly teams, he was just a miracle worker, lmao.
Donovan McNabb was a top 5 statistical passer during the Philly run of nfccg losses and superbowl loss. 3rd in total yards, 4th in total td.
Andy borderline refused to run the football. So McNabb was throwing the majority of the time to mostly scrub wrs until TO arrived.
But Andy "carried" McNabb. Lol. Sure.
I can't imagine why objective views of this man's career are so reviled. Does it really affect you personally to see sub par performances, poor statistics, and terrible records? It shouldn't.
Point out fun facts that Andy choked more playoff games that he was favored to win than any other coach in history, feathers get ruffled. Why? It happened.
Many here take anything but glowing praise of Andy Reid as a personal attack on them. It's so ****ing weird.
