I mean, this was a CLASSIC scenario of what your reporter was talking about, right? Andy needs to score quickly twice to get back in the game, there's not a lot of time on the clock, and Andy decides that the best way to do that is to call more than a dozen plays to get a single score. Pretty much the exact same scenario as what happened in 2006 and 2016, am I right?
SO ACCORDING TO YOUR REPORTER, ANDY WOULD'VE SPENT 13-16 PLAYS AND 6 MINUTES TRUNDLING DOWN THE FIELD TO GET ONE (1, SOLO, UNO) SCORE, RIGHT? THAT'S THE NARRATIVE YOU AND THAT REPORTER AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE TRYING TO SELL, YES?
Or maybe Andy settles for a FG, after a 10 play drive or something like that, because Andy has no idea how to read a clock and understand that he needs to score quickly and often. That's the 'philosophy' that Andy supposedly believes in, according to you and your article.
So there's no way that what happened in the 2nd quarter on Sunday should've happened, period.
But obviously it did. So how did it happen? I eagerly await your explanation.

Holy shit - you're ****ing dense! I thought we were past this and then you respond to my same post twice and yet you still do not understand my argument. The past game has nothing to do with the issue that I brought up as it was a blowout rather than a close game that required careful clock management in a pressure situation.
Being down 24-0 early in the 2nd quarter is not the same as being in a close game towards the end of the 4th quarter. There was still plenty of time in the game for andy to take his time and score. Yes, it was nice that they scored quickly in the 2nd, but they were assisted by special teams shortcutting the process. Not much need to manage the timing of a drive when you have hardman setting us up in the opponent's territory and a fumble putting us in the red zone. I would hope that a score in those situations would be extra quick since there isn't much field to cover.
Go ahead and keep denying that andy has a philosophy of taking extra time and timeouts to settle players down and make sure he has the right play - despite the man himself saying it and despite, not some reporter, but numerous coaches/best friends of Andy who have worked closely with him for years saying it as well. Did you even read the damn article?
Although I disagreed with him, DJLN is intelligent enough to recognize the issue - he just spins the issue as being a good thing rather than the flaw that I see it as. Seriously, go back and read the article and then read the conversation between myself and DJLN and maybe you'll finally recognize the issue. Then maybe you can keep up with the rest of us instead of quoting play by plays from random drives that do not speak to the issue at all and denying the words of the man at issue himself, and then on top of all that, acting like a smug, know-it-all douche who has to call people names b/c you disagree with them even though you're too dumb to even recognize the issue we are debating.
