Smith was hamburger but Reid didn't ask him to be more than that. He dialed up plays that worked. But to a man, that team fell apart.
Maybe the real complaint here isn't that Reid didn't manage the clock well (because that's a bad one) but rather that he isn't Tomlin. Maybe they just weren't mentally tough enough. Maybe the answer was that we needed a fire and brimstone type rather than a cerebral HC who had his head in the playsheet as the world burned.
THAT argument I hadn't considered yet and it's one I'd actually be inclined to listen to. It's a lot more interesting than "Why did he run the ball that one time instead of throw it deeeeeeeeeep!!!??" We finally got Clay past that shit and I don't feel inclined to teach anyone else.
