We were fortunate enough that the TD that should have been was taken off the board when their receiver was in bounds.
The fact of the matter is it didn’t work because once again Andy’s team was not prepared. It’s why we lost to them last time (hello Dee Ford).
I like aggressive Andy, but there’s a time and a place. Going for it early in Denver last year on 4th and 1 on your own 35 in Denver to start the game? No problem. 4th and 19 in that situation? Take the loss there.
We came uncomfortably close to losing that game bc of that **** up. We won so it’s not a big deal.
All I ask is please, for the love of God...don’t go for 4th and long again unless you have to.

His defense came out breathing hot fire. The offense short-circuited for most of the day but I don't think there were a myriad of execution failures (apart from simply having bad players on the IOL).
I think it's complete lunacy to say "Andy Reid didn't have his players prepared" - he absolutely did. Those guys hit the field ready to play thoroughly outclassed the Patriots.
But a long-snapper didn't snap the ball to the right guy. Has any coach in the history of the game EVER not been responsible for every loss then? Because seriously, there's nothing Andy can do other than tell his snapper "Hey, listen to the playcall, bud..."
You're gonna put a snapper ****ing up a fake on Andy as demonstrative of the team being 'unprepared' on a day the team writ large outplayed the Patriots by a significant margin?
That's absurd.
