Andy Reid got depantsed in the Super Bowl by Bruce Arians.
Bruce Fucking Arians and Tom Fucking Brady.
Well, you see, Andy Reid is an offensive genius, and how dare we question Andy Reid's genius in not running the ball and not utilizing the screen pass in the face of an epically brutal pass rush, a patchwork offensive line and a QB with a hurt toe?
How dare we question his geniusness?

Reality can and sometimes will diverge wildly from all analysis at any time. But no one in their right mind with everything on the line bucks the evidence and picks Foles over Smith in 2013.
People seem to forget just how raw and poor Foles was in 2012. His record was 1-5, a 60% completion rate, threw 6 TDs and 5 INTs.
Not great.
In fact, comparing his numbers to Alex Smith's in 2012, it's not even a question. Alex was by far the better choice in 2013.

Andy Reid has had all sorts of talent for decades and has failed to do anything with it. Andy is one of these outstanding coordinators that get promoted above their appropriate level because they are so good.
Andy Reid is somewhere between a coordinator and a head coach. Too good to stay a coordinator and not good enough to win the big one at the next level. You can say the same about Marty Schottenheimer. Andy and Marty, two guys who dominate during the regular season but get their shit pushed in against the superior talent of the playoffs. [Reply]

I'd even be willing to throw in a young prospect on the practice squad. Goes by Ubeja and has a photographic memory when it comes to the 1971 Chiefs and the best blues musicians in Nashville circa 1983. Guy is a real blue chip, go-getter. [Reply]

After this year fire him. I"m not kidding, not one damn bit. That mother fucker has had YEARS to address the defense, and the defense has been shit for 4 years now. I'm sick of this, you will have a ridiculous line of suitors because Mahomes is the QB, pick the best one and go. Pederson won the fucking Superbowl with Nick Foles, we can do better guys, I don't care what your responses are, this is the camp I'm in until Reid is gone, Superbowl or not, he's a shitty coach that is all smoke and mirrors. We've fallen for his bullshit for long enough. [Reply]

We're wed to Clark and Hitchens and Mathieu for years.
At every level we have a bountiful of suck. [Reply]
