Reid typically failed in the playoffs because his Eagles teams were just a step below SB qualifiers or SB winners.

2000 - lost to the SB qualifier Giants
2001- lost to the SB qualifier Rams, one of the greatest offenses EVER.
2002 - lost to the SB winner Bucs, one of the greatest defenses EVER.
2003 - lost to the SB qualifier Panthers.
2004 - lost SB to the Patriots.
2008- lost to the SB qualifier Cardinals.
2010 - lost to the SB winner Packers.

When you get that far sometimes you just keep losing to teams with better QBs or elite defenses if your QB isn't good enough.

Andy Reid's splits, pass attempts vs. run attempts, for his tenure in Philly:

Year.....Pass.....Run
1999.....474......424
2000.....575......397
2001.....522......412
2002.....548......489
2003.....484......417
2004.....547......376
2005.....620......365
2006.....544......416
2007.....577......421
2008.....606......427
2009.....553......384
2010.....561......428
2011.....554......450
2012.....618......413

It really isn't as bad as some people think.

And keep in mind when you're looking at the stats that htismaqe just posted......

1. From 2007 on....Reid wasn't calling plays. Marty Mornhinweg was.
2. Childress was the OC from 2003-2005 but Reid called the plays.

I don't know why it was questioned in the first place. He went out originally and got someone who was sought after as a front office guy to replace the long standing gm and then got a hot prospect as a head coach. He's shown to not to have the patience his father possessed (to a fault).

Pretty hard. He just didn't win the right games.

The way things are developing now, though, I feel like he could get it done here.

Whats funny is how the media still calls Cassel our starter, even though he was benched during the bye week.

I'm and idiot when it comes to the finacial side...if we cut Cassel, don't we still have to pay him? Sorry for the dumb question...

Call Clark Varooka Salt, "I want it and I want it NOW"! Must say Clark gets shit done.

Reid's Eagles team played in a lot of low scoring games in the NFC East. That will not cut it in the West. We have to score points, lots of them in the AFC. There's 2 ways to do that, toughen up the defense considerably and means free agent help, and of course the west coast offense that consumes the clock. But is that going to score enough points in this division? The challenge ahead is a tough one.
