Is the shine on Andy Reid already tarnished a bit?

If you make a stupid post, there are 3 ways to handle it. You can (1) ignore it and wait for everyone to forget about it, (2) admit you made a stupid post and just move on, or (3) make about 20 additional posts about the same ****ing topic.

#3 isn't working for you. You're obviously incapable of #2, so my advice is to belatedly go with #1. In other words, if you would just shut up about it, it would blow over. If you continue to look for ways to justify it or excuse it or explain it or try to convince everybody that misunderstood you, you will just prolong your own agony. Drop it and move on.

Right on, thanks for the advice. I know I'm new and I'm trying not to step on toes.

Believe me, everybody on this site has made stupid posts from time to time. I know I've made my share.

Just forget about it, and everybody else will too.

Sounds good. Thanks!

I have ignored this thread all day.

I don't understand it.

he watches his premiere player go down. He watches his qb play the game of his life, and he watches his players fall like flies all game.

he was handcuffed with the talent he had on offense to begin with, then you lose not only Charles, but avery, then Knile.

The shine?

I think its shining brighter than ever.

This.

Take a trip back in your mind. I know its tough to relive that game, but go back to the 6th play of the opening drive with Jamaal Charles lying motionless on the turf.

In that moment, did you think that KC had a snowball's chance in hell of winning that game? Did you think that Alex Smith would be more than up to the task of carrying this football team on his back with wildly inconsistent receivers and here today, gone tomorrow pass protection, all with the dreaded GAME MANAGER label slapped firmly across his chest?

I sure didn't.

While the loss was excruciatingly painful, it did open my eyes to one undeniable fact.

Alex Smith can carry this team with his arm. It was the one thing I always questioned about him. Not only did he carry the team with his arm, but he did it without Jamaal even being in the game. The guy who accounted for 1/3 of the KC Chiefs offensive production was out and Smith still orchestrated a 44 point offensive production.

Andy Reid said the entire time that Alex Smith was his guy. He didn't want anyone else, and they never even considered drafting a QB with the first overall pick.

I have my issues with Reid in certain situations, but as far as Im concerned he's done a helluva job with the 2-14 abortion that he took over. Quarterback was our most glaring need and Andy's handpicked guy ****ing delivered. He did. I know we lost the game but Alex Smith showed up to play and the D just left him hanging.

Because of Andy Reid, Im not praying to the football gods for a quarterback this offseason.

Generally the first season is the rough one when a new staff comes in. Im looking forward to what he can do with these guys in year two.

Nope. That exact moment I thought for sure we'd get blown completely the **** out.

This is exactly what I was 100% sure he could never do.

I feel very much like I did with DV and TrINT before he became Green...
