If Andy did not lack the situational awareness, then he could have easily said his same old crap like "We needed to get the ball down the field quicker. That's on me. I'll get it fixed." But no, the idiot defended that drive proving that he still does not get it.

Oh for Pete's sake.
What do you think he was going to do? Throw Alex under the bus? He couldn't say "well, we missed some opportunities to get the ball into the EZ quicker," or something similar, because then what he'd really being saying to his own team would be "Alex and the offense folded under pressure." And Andy is never going to throw his QB under the bus. He didn't with McNabb in PHI when it was obvious that Don made bad decisions/throws. Never.
Again, all you have to do is look at the actual drive. Don't look at where Alex throws the ball; look at the play design and see who's open.
See where the the play itself dictates where the ball probably should've gone. Look at the pressure or lack thereof, and see how Alex reacts.
On almost every play there was a
much better option than where Alex actually threw the ball. Alex literally bails on the play as designed at least three times on that drive; he never gives the play a chance to develop. And on another play, he bails out to his right when he clearly should've simply stepped up into the pocket to avoid the pressure off the edge.
If Andy meant for that drive to go 16 plays, then why did he even include all of those plays in the first 6 that would've put them on the GL or in the EZ? Why not simply run 16 plays very similar to the 9th play that featured all short comebacks?
Does it make any sense at all to feature 6 plays in a row that create wide open opportunities for receivers at least 20 yards downfield if you really want to matriculate down the field 7 yards at a time?
Put it to you another way. With about 6 minutes left in the game, have you ever heard of a coach say, "lets' take 5 minutes to get a score so we only leave ourselves 1:30 to get the ball back and score again." Ever in the history of football at any level.
Use your eyes, people. Don't take the word of some pundit or believe some coachspeak after the fact.
