The proof is in those games. It's why he has a lot of critics like this who knock his tactics (

scattered decision making" and why Eagles fans will always remember moments like this:

It's a strange thing to be galled about, when you step back and consider it, but it was galling. The number of times they actually did win topped out in 2004-05, at 15: 13 regular-season victories, two playoff victories, and the ball in Donovan McNabb's hands with 5:40 to go in the Super Bowl, within striking distance of a beatable Patriots team. The Eagles needed two scores, and they got one of them—on that still-baffling three-minute-45-second slow march down the field, their relentless downfield progress matched by the even-more-relentless draining of the clock. It was the Andy Reid-iest sequence of Andy Reid's career; I watched it with a friend who hates the Eagles, and he abandoned his rooting interest and started yelling at the TV set in sheer objective disbelief and frustration. How could any team be so stupid with so much on the line?

More proof that you're talking out of your ass AND you're unfamiliar with Eagles history.

I wasn't aware you were referring to solely Eagles history. That's a completely different standard. Because NFL history is full of talented teams that failed repeatedly in the playoffs.
