Andy didn't cause Hill to fumble.
Andy didn't cause Peko to run onto the field in his cape.
Andy didn't cause Burfict and Pacman to be themselves.
Andy didn't leave a blitzer unblocked that lead to a pick six.
Andy didn't drop a go ahead TD.
Andy didn't design an offense that ignored AJ Green for 3 quarters.
Andy didn't build a roster that left them with just Sanu and Burkhead at WR.
Yes Andy has been bad in the playoffs. He deserves a good amount of blame for his own play. But exactly 1 other person ever shown up in the playoffs and that's Leon Hall.
Well, Rey M almost had 1 good game before they asked him to cover RBs in the flats again.
Right on man. Honestly, I gave up blaming players a long time ago. There just seems to be a very deeply rooted problem here that leads to dozens of great players and college heroes suddenly shitting themselves when the bright lights are on. 26 years without a playoff win and constant prime-time struggles that span 15 years.
Maybe it's the lack of a practice facility. Maybe our schemes are too easy to figure out for good coaches. Maybe we don't throw in enough wrinkles. Maybe we get too conservative. Maybe we have weak spots (that we don't address in FA) that get exposed under the intense playoff spotlight. Maybe a combo of everything. I do know that it's been going on for way too long for us to be pinning it on one guy.
That won't stop some from making the red head the face of our playoff failures.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
