At the end of the first half, the Eagles butchered the clock and did not have an opportunity to kick a last-second field goal. At the end of the second, their defense jumped off-side at a moment begging for patience and they lost the opportunity to try and tie the game.

Good thing for Andy Reid there are only two halves.

But after the Eagles lost, 31-24, to the Buffalo Bills, Reid ran his same, weary play, refusing to point fingers, threatening to walk out of a press conference and providing no reasonable communication with the fans.

The act, already old, is now ancient.
