Turtleing up late in games is one of the main reasons why Andy Reid can't reliably beat the top teams in the league.
He's piled up a lot of regular season wins in his career, but beating the bottom 2/3 of the league like the Raiders, Chargers, Broncos, Jaguars, Lions etc is not (usually) a problem for Reid.
He has always been a high floor, low ceiling type of coach, and he will be until he changes. (20 years and counting)
We all speculated that maybe Reid could be a high ceiling coach if he had a good QB - well, now he's got the best QB in the NFL, and not much has changed.
