Reid blamed the loss on a lack of technique and execution, not effort.
“It’s a great lesson to learn that no team is as good as you think in this league and no team is a bad as you think," Reid said. "It’s the National Football League and you better be ready to play and execute, as coaches and players, starting with me. Anything less than that and you’ve got a problem.”
That certainly was pathetic. Not enough credit is being given to the Raiders though. They had a plan, took an attitude onto the field, and executed. We made it a point last week to remark on some of the quality players on their roster, and sure enough, Richard Seymour, Greg Ellis, Tommy Kelly, and Thomas Howard wreaked havoc out there.
We're sensing a hint of disappointment from the masses that actually borders on hysterical. This one makes us feel sick too, but you would think the Eagles lost the Super Bowl yesterday from the reaction. The fact is, Andy Reid took the wrong gameplan in based off what they had seen on film, and the Raiders showed them something entirely different.
These things happen. They shouldn't, but they do. It's a long season, far from finished.
