    And Cowher couldn't win a Super Bowl without Ben, just like Reid needed Mahomes to win it :shrug:.

    Except nobody thought N. O'Donnell was a great Qb....I've heard many say D. McNabb was. :shrug:
    Hell they have even discussed Him being in the HOF....never heard that for O'Donnell .

    Again many many many people have said McNabb was a great Qb....nobody said O'Donnell was. Only one of them have been talked about pertaining to the HOF, and it was O'Donnell.

    I never seen Andy Reid take the Browns ,and win a playoff game. I have seen Belichick do that. The Browns. The Browns.

    If only he had a QB who stood up instead of throwing up (on his offensive linemans feet) it might have been a different story. Some can only take it so far then the white hot spotlight burns and they wilt.

    Reid is a HOF coach. I feel he will go in with at least 4 Super Bowl wins.

    It's not the same browns team that are now...I mean, the Browns that Belichick had became the Ravens a few years later.... If you look before, the browns had made the AFC title game in the late 1980s 3 times

    Mcnabb was a good QB,maybe because of Reid too...I mean,McNabb had a drastic decline when he left the Eagles...Reid was able to go to the playoffs twice and with one NFC title game once in the last 2 years with him as QB...After that he was one of the worst QB in the league

    Reid also made the playoffs with a old Jeff Garcia in 2006, Vick who was released from prison in 2010 and A.J Feely was so good under Reid that the Dolphins gave a good draft pick to get him!

    This was not in the 80s. Come on that was their last playoff win until they beat us in 2020. It was also the Patriots they beat. LoL

    Yeah ....Yeah ....Yeah He was so good he was fired, and the Eagles were happy to see Him go, and they've been to 2 SBs since He left.....with 2 different HCs, and 2 different Qbs. They have almost been to as many SBs as KC, and they don’t have Mahomes.....Hell I got best friends that are KC fans, and until Mahomes got there they didn't think A. Reid could win the games that matter.....but Mahomes has seemed to make everyone forget all of this.....

    Funny the Eagles went to 1 SB the whole time Reid was there....Yet been to 2 SBs since He left. With 2 different HCs, and 2 different Qbs....Hell the Eagles have almost been to the SB as much as Reid has in KCs, and they don't have Mahomes. :shrug:

    Andy Reid is one of the biggest reason why Mahomes is with the chiefs,so you can't remove the credit too much because of the Mahomes factor since Reid is a huge reason that PM is in KC

    I wonder what Mahomes would look like with Canada calling the plays?

    McNabb wasn't a great QB, he was a good QB though.

    When it comes to classifying games as "painful to watch", please don't leave out last years Bills knockout punch from the 3rd play of the game 38-3 route during KP's first ever start. My son and I still had a great time at that game but man o man what a nightmare it was watching it live.:@

    The only Steelers game I've ever been to was the January '95 AFC Championship vs. Chargers at 3 Rivers. I still suffer PTSD from that game. Worst Steelers playoff loss of all time... and it's not even close.

    NOD claimed that Barry Foster ran his pattern a yard too deep allowing the Charger LB to get a finger on the ball to bat it away. Anyway yes one of the most devastating losses in Pittsburgh sports history and only 2 years after the Sid Bream gut punch from the Braves.

    I was talking to Sid Bream a couple of years ago and strangely enough that play found it’s way into the conversation

    And one of the receivers did run the wrong pattern on on of the SB interceptions

    An out rather than an in

    I give OD credit he took the heat but didn’t throw the receiver under the bus

    He also took the new contract

    I came to know him when our daughter's became best friends in school. He told me if he would have been out at the plate the Braves would have had to play a couple of pitchers in the outfield to start the 10th inning. Bobby Cox had used all of his bench players in the bottom of the ninth.

    Which is crazy since the franchise has finished 3rd in the division or worse every season since 1989. I was born in 1989. Even when they’ve snuck into the playoffs it’s been behind 2 other AFC North teams.

    I also agree that Myles Garrett is overrated. Still a very good player but a noticeable tier down from the likes of Watt, Parsons, and Nick Bosa. He’s not in the conversation for best EDGE in the league, let along best defensive player in the league.
