Indy game.
I know injuries hurt the team but Andy failed to do exactly what people now criticize him for doing - he didn't milk the clock when he no longer had the personnel to trade punches. At that point he needed to hang on like grim death and just hope to get to zeroes.
He didn't. He tried to keep playing it straight up.
Idiots around here say nonsensical crap like "You keep playing like the score is 0-0!!!" and it's just asinine. You get up 3 scores...PLAY LIKE YOU'RE UP 3 SCORES! The goal is to win the damn football game, not win it by 24. If Andy had treated that Colts game in Indy like they had a massive lead, they win it pretty easily. Instead he's got Smith out there firing deep wheel routes to Cyrus Gray and what not.
Andy screwed that game up. But other than that (and I've broken this shit down drive by drive on several occasions on this board, including the asinine complaints over the Patriots loss in Foxborough several years ago), Reid's been damn good.
