Never saw a coach so different from his mentor than Doug Pederson

he got NO breaks. how is losing 3 All Pro's and facing Brady and Beli any kind of break?

Reid has never done anything close to this. he had McNabb/Westbrook and T.O. and didnt come up with half the shyt they pulled tonight

his play calls are so much more balanced, but i will say the jet sweep looks are from AR. he does dial up some similar stuff, but his placement is just better. he converts risks at a higher rate with lesser players its not chance
I was holding my breath on those short yardage situations in the 4th (especially on that second-to-last drive), which probably didn't need to be as complex as they were - Foles/receivers just managed to execute them when it mattered most. If the execution was off (which would be understandable given the plays run), we'd be sitting right here questioning the playcalling. I'm not taking anything away from how he coached the game, but you can definitely tell he's Andy's offspring.

Maybe he’s more like Mike Holmgren than Andy Reid

He compared this Eagles team to the ‘96 Packers. Reid was a coach on that team but Holmgren was calling the shots

true, but you got to love the confidence. Doug just seems to coach more hungry than Andy

Howie Roseman looking like a damn genius in all of this

its funny to think of the nerdy, suit guys to be competitive but i think Howie GM'd with a purpose. ever since he got the clout back from Chip, he never looked back. they got Jernigan for a 3rd, Ajayi for a 4th. Darby was a little costly but they needed corners, Jordan Mathews was a non-factor for BUF

he wins almost all trades he makes, and the drafts are starting to hit. they havent even developed their young corners yet :ehh:
