...when the former head of NFL officials says you should have thrown the red flag.
Andy Reid got SO lucky today. A clear overturn possibility, but he put it back in his pocket. Good thing he has Vick and Jackson....

Yep, he should have challenged and has admitted as much. Makes no difference at this point though.
Reid has been pretty bad as a challenge guy for years.

that aint nothing. two weeks ago Rex Ryan threw a challenge flag early in 1st qtr for a ball spot. It was 4th and 1 in Patriots territory. He lost the challenge and then went for it on 4th and 1. Why waste a challenge and timeout when your gonna go for it anyway... especially on the first possession of the game.

Yeah, Reid does have a pretty bad record... which makes me wonder if he's to blame? There has to be someone in a booth that is watching these replays that can say "Hey, Andy. You should challenge that." Looked like Reid was waiting for someone to tell him what to do there.
... the Refs and Eagles tried to give that game away.
