Jeremiah Trotter played a total of seven seasons for Andy Reid in three different stints with the Eagles. And he thinks he lost a lot of games because Reid got out-coached.
“If it came down to both teams were even, talent-wise,*I think the opponent’s team would win if it came down to coaching,” Trotter said on 97.5 The Fanatic, via Philly.com. “Andy Reid got out-coached in a lot of games, man, a lot of big games,” Trotter continued. “Time outs, running the football, you know.”
Trotter said Reid’s offensive style made things different for the defense and the late defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, who ran the defense in Philadelphia until his death in 2008.
“As a defense, we understood we passed the ball too much. You know, there’s times we’re sitting over there like, ‘Man, listen. Just get us a couple of first downs so we can get a break.’ And I’m sure it frustrated Jim Johnson also,” Trotter said
Still, Trotter acknowledges that he won a lot of games during his time with Reid, and he says he would have given Reid a 7.5 or 8 on a scale of 1-10. I shudder to think what he’d say about a coach who was a 1.
Good coaches don't get out coached in a lot of games. [Reply]

In one thread you said 1 play by the Pats defense would've changed the game in their favor to win the game. Unfortunately their MVP QB couldn't get it done. You're quick to put the blame on Alex but can't even stay consistent with the things you point out. :-) [Reply]

No. Tom Brady absolutely failed in that game.
We done here? Like Alex in KC? Yes? Good. Bye. [Reply]

And how did that game negatively impact the Pats season? [Reply]

It didn't but it was the difference between getting a W or an L for that game according to someone. Just like 1 play by the defense could have been the difference for KC. [Reply]

And? No one was blaming Pat Chung after that game for a dropped pick.
EVERYONE was blaming Brady for going 16 for 36 passing.

Unless the kid in question is Simple Jack, I see no problem here.

Better to be a laughing-stock F team each year than be a B team that can't stay healthy and efficient in the postseason?
Is this the kind of stunning analysis we can look forward to from you in the months to come, and once Smith is a Brown? God Almighty you suck, and are just plain terrible at this. [Reply]
