Andy Reid cannot manage a play clock

stevekstevek Posts: 29,022 ✭✭✭✭✭
Couldn't do it his first season and he can't do it now. Ten point lead, ten minutes left in the game, Eagles have the ball, and he calls a pass play on first down rather than a run to eat up the clock. Then he does the same thing on the next series. Other questionable calls as well. This game should have never went to overtime, and it shouldn't have even been close. High school football coaches don't make basic mistakes like this.

Andy if you're reading this...F*ING HIRE SOMEBODY WHO CAN F*ING MANAGE A PLAY F*ING CLOCK AND F*ING ADVISE YOU DURING THE F*ING GAME BECAUSE YOU CANNOT F*ING DO IT!

    Ten point lead, ten minutes left in the game

    A 10 point lead with 10 minutes left is hardly an insurmountable lead. I don't think you can blame Reid for this loss. The Giants took advantage of a big break and made the big plays when they needed to. The Eagles secondary deserves full blame for this loss.

    Andy Reid also:

    1) Can't fit into a telephone booth
    2) Can't drive by a Krispy Kreame without stopping
    3) Can't win rings

    This one really hurts bad when it was in the bag and stupid coaching loses it for us. I still like Andy Reid but as Clint Eastwood once said, "A man's got to know his limitations" and clearly managing a play clock Andy cannot do. On the average this always seems to cost us one or two games a year in my opinion. With the NFC being so tight this year, I'm afraid this loss is going to come back to haunt us - losses like this usually do.

    I need a drink to forget this. imageimageimageimageimage

    "Andy, please put down those 24 donuts"

    Bet he can correctly spell "Krispy Kreme."

    He can also run an offense that scores more than 3 points in two weeks and has a QB that can pass over the line on a three step drop.

    Get a QB, then call us!!!

    what good is a QB when he puts up big numbers, only to have the D fold like a deck of cards late? Do us a favor, roll over and
    pull out Alpomomo. Thanks

    What good is he?

    He at least has a prayer of winning next week.

    What good is a QB who cannot pass the ball without hitting a defender?

    No good whatsoever.

    Get a QB, then talk to us!!!

    as a BIG BLUE lifer, I was as bummed as could be watching my Giants get THOROUGHLY outplayed in every aspect of the game. Then ..... things changed and the Giants step up at the same moment the Eagles thought they had the game in the bag. (False start with McNabb laughing ... turned out to be huge).

    Big win for the Giants. Beating a good Philly team at home is a big win in the division for them. I was very impressed with the way they stayed in there when things were going bad. They missed Shockey today though he had a clutch catch near the end of the game. Burress is special. Eli's turning out to be almost as good a fantasy QB as his brother. image

    The D played poorly all day but made the plays when they needed to. This Giants team looks like a better team offensively than defensively for a change.
