Hey I bashed on Alex and Andy plenty during last year's shitshow and the 1-5 start.

I'm not surprised that things changed when :

A

Alex was given more autonomy at the line, so he could check out of bubble screens

And

B

Alex was forced by the Charles injury to do more than check down to 25 when things fell apart.

The reason for the turnaround is that simple - the offense could sustain drives and that gave the defense not only better field position, but more time to rest between drives, making them that much more effective.

Kudos to Andy Reid for doing something he's never done in 14 years :give a QB autonomy at the line.
