Boneheaded playcalls courtesy of Andy Reid

igy is sarcasm impaired.

he calls it being right.

Plenty from the 07-08. Or was it 06-07? Giants game. Winston Justice can not stop anyone. What does Reid do? PASS PASS PASS. I think Buckhalter had over 100 yards in the first half alone. And the Giants were up by a FG only and never more than a touchdown the whole game.

Back in 03 when the Eagles started off extremely slow. Against the Pats McNabb could not throw, run, or do anything right and they kept passing. The Pats were getting to him every play pretty much and beat him into the ground.

Then there were the WR screens to Pinkston that never went for more than 1 yard.

Two excellent points.  I was thinking about the Giants game also when Justice just got bitch slapped and even Strahan said "WTF were they thinking not giving him any help?".

Gotta stick with the game plan.  Adjusting it is for cowards and smart coaches.

[mussa]

It's called faith based coaching.

[Diomedes]

lol, spot on

what show?  Mike Miss?

Vai and Gonzo from 10-12. The producer Sean Brace (cool guy) needed stuff about Reid refusing to run the ball and his poor playcalling. It was basically a 2 hour Reid bashfest.

I only work an hour or 2 of the Mikey Miss show. Jon Marks is the man.

[smeags]

Marks exposed prissynelli good the other day and all mike could is strutter and go to the next caller.

I was in the studio with Marks for the first hour of todays show. He told me a hilarious story about Dutch Daulton which I'm not allowed to repeat over the internet.

actually against the giants in 08 with two minutes left and down a td he ran westbrook twice in a row on 3 & 2 and 4th & 1 and didnt make it

he occasionally runs the ball on short yardage they just never make it


going for fg's against sd last year on the goaline down 14-0 in the first and 4th and 1 on the sd 6 down 21 to 6 in the third quarter were awful calls

the one that stands out to me is the brandon jacobs no fumble but try and find his career numbers on replay challenges...they are brutal

60 pass attempts against cincy in the wind when the bengals were at or near the worst rush defense in the nfl

same thing in oakland in the 13-9 loss...i believe that was 50+ passes whent he raiders gave up like 140 rush yards a game

I was watching that game courtesy of AFN, wasn't the fourth and 1 a toss play? Even when he runs he picks dumb ass plays.

Finally, you rarely hear about this from national media, though Lombardi is in tune with Philly.  I just can't believe any NFL coach has a job that consistently mismanages time.  It really is one of the most important facets to the game.

Cowboys in 2005, MNF, Birds up, Reid is STILL PASSING, McNabb throws a TAINT and tears the rest of his sports hernia, lost for season.  I was at that game, almost got in a fight with a Cowboy fan at a bar afterwards.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I was watching that carnage with Beermonkey and Die-Hard.

Talk about a kick in the balls

[Eagaholic]

AR always has this propensity to torture players with injuries. The KC game in '05 when 5 had a painful sports hernia, then a chest injury, comes to mind. How Reid had him throw 48 passes that day was classic. 5 went on to win the game but paid a steep price, never recovering. Lost the next week against dallas and the eagles performed an abortion on that season in getting mcnabb killed. He was never the same after KC. He was on IR within 5 games (horse collar) I think.

Reid did the same thing making Akers kick with a torn hamstring in his plant leg (again in '05) against the Raiders. Most of us can probably remember him collapsing to the ground after kicking, only to go out and do it again. He missed the next 4 games. Not sure if Simoneau made the PB that year as kicker.

Oh, and his hideous game plan against the Bucs in the nfccg was not to be matched (Well until the next game, opening the Linc against the Bucs with deja vu results). They virtually never looked more than 10 or occasionally 15 yards down field, though wrs were open deep any number of times. I put this one on Reid and the play calling as I doubt the deep reads were until at least the 3rd progression. Stunningly, with entire off season to prepare, they had the same dink and dunk game plan and - shocking! - the same result next game.

[The BIGSTUD]

I think his two worst play calls were the two from the Saints playoff game in 2006-2007. The 4th down to Tapeh and the punt when we couldn't stop their running attack were his two worst play calls. Reid single handedly cost the team the game. If we pull that game out, then the Eagles head to Chicago for the NFC Championship game where the Eagles usually always win. The only down side was we would have played the Colts in the Superbowl who we never beat.

Mike Lombardi just spent about 10 minutes on WIP killing Andy over time management and the deployment of Graham at DT.
