You can't sit back and put that on Andy Reid...

Absolutely I can and will continue to do so until Reid takes away the easy dump offs, check downs and short 3 yard crossing routes.
Until Reid forces Smith to go all 90's Raiders, it will always be Reid's fault for giving Smith the keys to the easy horizontal offense.
Hey Daniels did the same damn thing in the Chargers game... Short dumps, - 5 yard passes, sacks in the redzone, etc....
That's coaching, not the players.
