This shouldn't be hard to figure out: I'm not a fan of Reid. I've said since even before he was hired that I think he's a coach who's been on a steady decline. The hope now is that he can buck that trend and turn both his personal fortunes and the franchise's around.

Yes but look at Reid's body of work. The NFC East was the most competitive division in the NFC in the 2000's. The Giants only had 3 losing seasons in Andy Reid's tenure in Philly and the Cowboys have only had 2 losing seasons since 2003.
Every year the division was hard to win and it was even harder to get a 5th or 6th seed because 3 teams in that division were at least 8-8 or better most of the time.
Reid is also 11th in all time playoff wins. He's also coached 3 different QB's to guide his team to the playoffs while in Philly (McNabb, Garcia and Vick).
Whether or not Reid is in a decline remains to be seen. I personally think the media, injuries and his son dying played a big part of his embarrassing season last year.
