Andy Reid didn’t have many answers for why his team looked so bad in a 27-6 loss to the Cardinals Sunday afternoon. “They played better than we did, clearly better,†Reid said. “They coached better, they played better, and so that’s my responsibility. I didn’t have my football team ready to play. They did, and my hats off to them. Field position, turnovers, you can’t play a good football team like that and have the turnovers that we had and not have field position. You’ve got to do a better job than that, and that again absolutely is on me. I’ve got to get my football team ready to play. I did a terrible job this week.†Reid was pressed on a variety of topics, including why the team called 25 pass plays and five run plays when Michael Vick and the offensive line were struggling in the first half. “Obviously we thought we could throw the ball and do a better job in that area, but we didn’t,†Reid said. “Hindsight, maybe we could have run the ball a little bit more.†The key play in the game was Vick’s fumble at the end of the first half. With six seconds left, Vick was hit by Cardinals safety Kerry Rhodes, who came untouched from his front side. Arizona’s James Sanders picked the ball up and scampered 93 yards for a touchdown, putting the Cardinals up, 24-0. Reid didn’t have a lot to say about the play, but noted, “That was a free man there.†As for the punishment Vick took, Reid said, “He got hit too much, and I can help out with that. That’s my responsibility there.†Source: PhillyMag.com
To be fair he didn't do a horrible job the first 2 weeks. They lead the NFL in total offense this season but number 7 keeps doing whatever he can do to heck it up. Today however is all on Reid. Running McCoy 4 times in the first half is inexcusable.
