If Andy decides to Andy, any team can beat the team he's calling the shots for.
We beat the Jags this year already, but we had some major gaffes in that gane that allowed them to stay in it.
We've played down to our competition all season, I don't know why anyone would expect that trend to simply change because it's the post season.
At least Andy should have fresh in his mind that no lead is safe against the Jags, as they've come back from double digit deficits almost as many times as we have this year, and coming back from 27-0 just lasr week shows that they are a no quit team.
If we get complacent, let up, and start wasting possessions with utterly asinine playcalls, we open the door for them to make a run at a comeback.
I will NEVER be surprised to see a Reid coached team shit it's pants in the postseason.
It's kind of his legacy.
No hall of fame coach has lost more games where they were the favorite than Andy has, and he owns 2 of the worst playoff collapses in NFL history.
Combine that resume with the age old "Any given Sunday", and anything could happen.
Doug Pederson is aggressive as hell and there won't be any easy outs for spags and that defense. Mahomes is gonna need to be MVP superbeast for this run.

Nothing counts before Mahomes... Andy overachieved in all those seasons with non HOF QB play... The two he lost with Mahomes were both in OT. The first against Tom Brady after Mahomes struggled in the first half. The second when Mahomes missed throwing to wide open guys last year vs. Cinci. Mahomes has figured out those frustration this year.
