Blame him for timeout usage/non-usage at the very end, but that last drive failed because of penalties and lack of execution.

With 3:49 left, an incomplete isn't going to kill you. We ran the clock on three straight plays and still gave the chargers more than 2 minutes with 1 TO left, in perfect field position. To go against a Defense we knew would play without berry.
Sorry... We didn't have to dial up a 50 yard pass. But two insanely predictable and conservative plays is maddeningly vintage Reid. A conservative playaction. A single first down is a hell of a lot better than a 3 and out.
It's one thing if this was the first time. Every damn eagles fan will tell you he's done this for 20 years with the same maddening results.
