The Titans game has been litigated to death but frankly I have a hard time putting that one on Reid as well. The Titans offense and our porous run D completely killed the offenses ability to get the ball. I mean - you know they got three drives on offense in the 2nd half, right? 3. And Smith missed 2 plays that would've led to scores in those two drives, Butker missed an easy FG on the other. He got three drives with two blown by execution and he's takes shit for being the reason the offense didn't put up points.
The 'atrocious clock management' against the Patriots has ALWAYS been a bullshit argument made by people who simply refuse to pay attention to anything that was going on in that game.
He owns the Colts game - absolutely, unequivocally and without question. But it's hilarious to me that even the folks that finally get to put a feather in their cap about "Andy Reid: Bad Clock Manager" have no earthly idea how that feather ended up there. They'll argue against their own cause and then cite that stupid game.
Because...y'know...they're idiots.

You’re killing it in this thread, but I just wanted to add that the amount of injuries, some to our best players, that occured in those two games is a complete anomaly.
We were literally dropping like flies.
