I don't understand why people think Andy Reid is going to change all of a sudden. I've posted this too many times, but Andy Reid has been a coach for 20 years in this league. He's never going to change. His offense is based around the short, horizontal passing game. It didn't matter if he had Alex Smith, or someone who could bomb it down the field like Mike Vick. He is going to throw a lot of screens, passes near the LOS, or short horizontal passes designed to get WRs in space. I don't expect Foles to look like Roethlisberger or Flacco Sunday, taking 15 shots down the field. He's going run Reid's offense, a bunch of horizontal passes with the occasional shot downfield. And Reid's had a ton of success doing it, but it's obviously not popular here. I don't think many of you will be able to be happy until Reid's gone.
