Andy Reid and his thoughts

Andy Reid hasn't won more than 11 games in a decade, and Smith has one more than 11 games only once in his career.

Seems kind of irrelevant IMO. We've gone 11-5, and 9-7 the past two years, and next years roster should be much better than either one.

You said .500, 11 games is well above .500. Where did you go to school?

His play-calling has been good enough to average 10 wins per season the last 2 years. I'd say that was a refreshing move in the right direction. I'll call for someone's head when they start backsliding or the team stops listening. Until then I'll watch the improvement and see where it goes from here.

i'd like andy to shit on my chest.

I'm happy with the direction of this team, things couldn't be more different from this season to Herm's 2nd season. We are building something, finally, and while I would like it to be faster, I think this offseason is exactly what this team needs. We need to resign two key pieces in Houston and Hudson. We need a couple key free agents, probably a guard and an ILB, nothing flashy. If you want to turn heads go get a guy like Macklin, but I prefer using our first round pick for a play making WR.

This off season provides us a lot of different choices. It's going to suck to see some good player let go, but key in the NFL is never to let your roster get old. We are a young team and the draft allow should provide us opportunity to infuse some youth and talent into a few key positions.

Really? Wow.

Reid is obviously a more than competent Monday - Saturday coach. He always has this team ready to compete and most of the time we have very good gameplans installed to win games.

He leaves something to be desired on some game days with his questionable clock management and blame Alex Smith if you want, but some of those playcalls during 2 minute drills this year (IE the screen pass) were insane.

Exactly. Like having the team ready to Rock on opening day. Reusing the same game plan at Oakland and that masterful game plan on 10 days prep time for Denver. Or throwing 45+ times horizontally in Pittsburgh.


Always prepared and always have very good game plans.

Yeah there needs to be a thread dedicated entirely on how inept our 2 minute offense was. It was the most amateurish thing I've ever seen and akin to the Haley/Cassel era.

that's only because we have 4 games against San Diego and Denver and play an entire division of 8-8 and above in the AFC North

I don't fear Pitt / Cin / Balt / Cle

Or his classic playoff game in Indy. Throwing the ball to protect a 28 point lead with 20 min left.

only on CP is the DC more important than the HC
