Frank Reich engineered 2 of the most historic comebacks in football history.

In 1984, his Maryland Terrapins were losing to Miami, Fla. by a score of 31-0 at halftime. Maryland came back to win by a score of 42-40.

8 years later, his Buffalo Bills were losing to the Oilers by a score of 35-3 early in the 3rd quarter of the 1992 AFC Wildcard Playoff game. Reich and company came back to win by a score of 41-38, in overtime.


I like the notion of having a guy with that kind of resolve at the helm.

I liked a lot of what he had to say, hopefully it works out, looking forward to next season.

On a positive note; Reich never once mentioned chopping wood, sticking to the process, groundhog day and spaghetti and meatballs for Thanksgiving.

If I was a reporter that would have been my first question :
"How do you feel about chopping wood?"

So the Colts got the Super Bowl winning OC as oppose to the losing one and guy who helped a backup QB to become the MVP.

I guess that's not so bad.

I have mixed feelings on HCs calling plays.

On one hand, he will be in the flow of the game and know when to press and when to play it cool.

On the other hand, it might be easy for him to end up overlooking Special Teams or Defensive game planning if he is focused on his next play calling.


Hmmm....I guess that is about the definition of "mixed feelings!"

Walk Worthy,
