Every Eagle fan stopped hating the Patriots (for just one minute) to laugh at Andy Reid...
As he bungled his way to another one-and-done post season



"It's been more than a decade and Andy Reid is still running the five-minute version of the two-minute drill.

On Feb. 6, 2005, the Eagles faced the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Trailing by 10 in the fourth quarter, the Eagles needed a quick score. Instead, Donovan McNabb methodically worked his way down the field on a 13-play drive, eventually scoring a touchdown to cut the Patriots' lead to three. That drive started with 5:40 left in the game. By the time the Eagles reached the end zone, only 1:55 remained in the game. They ended up running out of time.

On Saturday, the Chiefs faced the Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs. Trailing by 14 in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs needed a quick score. Instead, Alex Smith methodically worked his way down the field on a 16-play drive, eventually scoring a touchdown to cut the Patriots' lead to seven. That drive started with 6:29 left in the game. By the time the Chiefs reached the end zone, only 1:13 remained in the game. They ended up running out of time.

Those two paragraphs are identical for one reason: Andy Reid, who coached both of those teams."

Yes, as Eagle fans we are well aware of his Reid's penchant to have no idea how to handle the clock. And yes, to partially quote Britanny Spears, "Oops, he did it again". But I'm sure we'll hear some Chiefs fans come on today and say that we fired Reid too early (13 years was clearly not enough). Not to worry, though, we're bringing a Reid clone back into town when we hire Pederson today.

Heck, this.

Hey GF, I was way up in Montague, NJ over the weekend and we passed an exit between Allentown and Stroudsburg for a Hecktown Road. I thought of you.

When Reid was asked in his post game press conference about his clock management by a Chiefs beat reporter he responded with " There must have been some Philly media in the press box".

Yes Andy, unfortunately this was nothing new for Eagles fans, but we did get a good laugh this time at least.
