Late night bullshit: the Andy Reid highlight film.
 

Every now and again, I will see an Andy Reid playcall live and enjoy the creativity. Then I’ll rewatch it when the all 22 comes out and marvel at its genius.

We see player highlights all the time, but we never seem to see an Andy Reid highlight film: his most gorgeously scripted plays, his clever trick plays, the ones that lead to walk in TDs and all kinds of stuff.

What would you put in the Andy Reid playlist if you could?

For me, the plays that shocked me the most were those triple screens they used to run with Alex Smith. They’d fake a screen one way, then the other, then hit a TE or FB up the vacant middle of the field for yardage.

Backfield pirouette in the Super Bowl was a good one.

The Hungry Pig is still one of my all time favorites.

The Fake Punt direct snap to Wilson to help upset the Falcons in 2016 (the Pick 2 game) was an all timer for Reid/Toub.

Going for it on 4th and 1 to put away the Browns in the playoffs (especially how they managed to sell that they weren’t running a play) was another.

WASP

I loved the completely unnecessary Dontari Poe touchdown pass, called just to rub the Broncos' noses in shit.

It wasn't a "genius" play call, but one of my favorites from Reid.

kelce throwing a TD against the steelers

i wish they'd do this again

Christ. Calm down lad.

Playing center on this team has to be nerve wracking.

Shitty game and shitty memory, but that hook and ladder shit we did with Kelce and Tyreek (I think it was those two?) in the 2017(?) game against Dallas just before halftime.

It was so elegant. A Hail Mary situation where instead of being a numb skull and letting defenders knock the shit down in the end zone you put your actual best players in positions to do what they do best and work together to make it happen.

Just absolutely beautiful

Literally the entire 2013 season.

"Imma take fat Bowe, Donnie Avery, Dexter McCluster, Sean McGrath, Anthony Fasano, AJ Jenkins and Junior Hemingway, throw the ball 500+ times and end up 6th in the league in scoring...try and stop me..."

The shit he was doing that year was remarkable. You could find a dozen examples of pure wizardry where he was simply scheming guys open and creating points. The fact that he didn't win coach of the year that year is just ridiculous. Ron Rivera takes his own 7-9 team to 12-4 and gets the award. Andy Reid takes a 2-14 team to 11-5 and completely changed the tone of the entire organization - comes in 2nd.

The 2013 campaign was the best of his career, IMO.

I thought that was Hill.

Didn't they call it the Hill Mary?

EDIT: This is it, right?

Take a look at the last guy Tyreek jukes out of his draws. None other than our good friend, Anthony Hitchens.

Did you see the Titans run the play against the Packers last night, where Tannehill looked to the sidelines like he didn't know what was going on and then the center direct snapped the ball to Henry?

Looked identical to the play the Chiefs ran last year with Mahomes and Kelce

It felt like Andy came here with something to prove after the narrative that the game had passed him (said by smart individuals like me) or that he needed a year off. He just coached his ass off that year and it set the tone for the years that followed.
