Belichick, you say?
What has Belichick ever done as a head coach without Tom Brady at QB? He's like a .500 coach.
Without Mahomes, and with a bunch of decent but not great QB's, Andy Reid went to what, three NFL Championship games and one Super Bowl?
I argue that he got more done with less than any other current coach in football.
Now he's got Mahomes, and it's wonderful, but people are quick to forget just what Andy was able to accomplish even without him.
If you knew, you knew....

He's been a victim of his own success. The dude was out there winning 10+ games with Alex Smith and Donovan McNabb....and those were his BEST quarterbacks. Other times he's out there stealing games with AJ !@#$ing Feeley and the husk of Jeff Garcia. The guy made Kevin Kolb look like someone you should give up a high draft pick for. He had Matt Moore step away from coaching high school football to go throw for throw with Aaron Rodgers.
His BEST QBs were average as fuck. Neither of them would've amounted to much of anything in this league but/for Andy Reid. Especially McNabb (dude was incredibly inaccurate). And all he's ever done is go win football games.
If he'd have just gotten out of those scrubs what their talent says they should've been, he's essentially Jeff Fisher and puts up a 20 year resume of .500 football. But because he's as good as he is, the expectations surrounding his teams get heightened and when they fail it's because "Andy's a fat idiot" and not because they were only in that position due to his excellence in the first place.

I don't get responses like this. Sure I would have gone for it, but the far more concerning issue is the defensive line and the OTs. I see nothing in this game that suggests to me that even if we had won that Cinci isn't a better team.
At least in the playoffs, we should have Thuney back. There's that I guess. [Reply]
