Andy Reid is still defending his terrible clock management

You pulled a Pete Caroll.

 

When some do not understand what you are doing it might be a clever strategy.

When 99.999999% of the world is wondering what in blazes you're doing, it means you're a damned fool, not a genius.

 

Refusing to acknowledge such a ludicrous error means you're doomed to future failures. Which is a shame, because that team is pretty darn good when you're not doing stupid stuff and making simple mistakes. (Like dropped INTS)

When a green puppet brought to life by puppeteer Jim Henson encapsulates Andy Reid's achilles heel, an inability to manage the clock in the post season that pretty much means your reputation will take a huge hit in this league. 

 

Bogie is right too. I need to apologize to QB Donovan McNabb who was hamstrung by his coach or at least limited by some of Andy's decisions in NFC Championship games.

THIS is why I am thankful we have Cam Newton today to dance around and give us awesome pictures! T.O. was a lot of fun in times. 

 

More on topic .....

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am way too silly tonight.

This would be maddening to me if I were a Chiefs fan (or an Eagles fan, since they just hired Reid's former OC). It's already bad enough that you totally mismanaged the situation. You're making it worse by refusing to acknowledge your mistake.

 

I can live with a coach who has some learning to do. But when you don't even understand why what you did is so wrong, there's zero hope that you'll get it right next time. It's like when Caldwell called that stupid timeout against the Jets, and then both he and Polian defended it for weeks. You're going to make the same mistake again. Andy Reid has been mismanaging the clock for fifteen years, and a similar lack of urgency burned the Eagles in the SB against the Pats. He's easily one of the worst game management guys in the league.

 

By way of contrast, the Colts called that stupid fake against the Pats. Pagano said 'that's my fault, we'll never run that play again.' 

 

 

Herm Edwards may have been the worst . But Andy Reid could  be a close second after that ridiculous debacle .

 

 The Jets finally had to hire a coach to do it for him. I checked the internet to see if I could find something to back that up and sure enough....

Regarding the title of the topic - Andy that is why you have 0 SB wins.

You know what KC? Just follow this example. Hire yourself an assistant head coach who's ONLY job is to handle prep and management scenarios. Like, it just needs to be a personal assistant with a damn checklist for Reid to go down.

 

First thing they would do? Make the man a flow chart with timeout and clock management strategy he can  hide in his mustache or something.

The difference between Andy Reid and Herm Edwards is that Herm realized he was bad at it. Andy Reid still thinks (or claims to think) that he did the right thing, while it's plainly obvious to everyone else that he royally botched it.

 

When you mess up and say 'I think we could have handled that differently,' I can give you a break. When you mess up and say 'We did the right thing and I'd do it again,' there's no hope for you.

Which is when, as a GM, you sit your coach down for a talk about it. Reid has always been kinda blustery and defensive about his methods (being in a market like Philly for nearly 15 years probably didn't help this), but in private he may admit some fault.

 

At a certain point, if you see a problem like this, you have to say something to try and correct it as a manager. While my post you quoted was over dramatic because I thought it was funny, the principal of at least managing the situation with a guy you believe in as a coach stands.

Not sure if this is a good analogy or not, but it reminds me of Jeopardy. You have these people who have memorized everything about almost every subject and look like geniuses. But in Final Jeopardy when needing to use a little common sense with how much money to bet, they make some head scratching wagers
