I wonder if John Czarnecki reads my blog, because he took the words right out of my mouth. In a Week 11 "Second Guesses" article on Foxsports.com he wrote "Reid remains a solid coach, but his formula is no longer working."I've been saying this for weeks. Andy Reid is still a great coach, but he has just grown stagnant in Philly. Everyone's figured out his tricks and he's not willing (or able) to adapt. The league is becoming more and more a young man's game, with several young, first time coaches having so much success recently. Jim Zorn, Tony Sparano, Jim Harbaugh and Mike Smith are all having great success in their first year with their teams. Sean Payton and Jon Gruden have had great success as first year coaches this decade. Even Lane Kiffin was showing promise with the Raiders before he got canned. Honestly, any wins the Raiders get is massive improvement.
I like Andy Reid, a lot, but it's time for him to move on. Bring in some young, fresh blood. Someone to reinvigorate this team and have them playing inspired ball again. It's frustrating because this team is right on the verge. They could very easily be 10-0 right now, but have dropped so many winnable contests. That's just not going to cut it. Something's gotta give.
