In Buffalo and Maryland, he'll be remembered almost solely as the author of magical comebacks.

In the rest of the country, it's likely half and half.

Thank you ...... I was about to add that a player and/or coach's legacy is not necessarily confined to a bunch of pissed-off Colts fans.

Also, Reich's legacy in Charlotte, North Carolina could very well wind up being attached to the GM that put together what is arguably the worst roster in the NFL for Reich to work with ...... I don't think that Bill Parcells or the late Vince Lombardi could have coached this 2023 Panthers team to a relatively respectable 7 or 8 wins, and it's possible that many Panthers fans understand that.

The Panthers roster isn't that bad. Why can't you admit that Reich is a bad coach?

Mannings comeback over the Buc's, to me at least, was much more historic than any of Reichs.

The word "historic" is probably always going in favor of the '92 Bills and '16 Patriots due to the playoffs/Super Bowl. We've had several games in a vacuum that you could argue were more improbable...

'03 game against TB is possibly the most improbable comeback ever. 21 points in less than 4 minutes against the SB champs who won specifically because of that defense... insane.

Another one that doesn't get talked about as much was '08 vs. HOU, down 27-10 with like 4:05 left. Our D-line destroyed Sage Rosenfels twice and the O capitalized.

'09 game vs. NE, down 17 at one point... NE just added a FG to make their lead 13 with just over 4 minutes left. The 4th-and-2 game.

The '13 playoffs vs. KC, still IND's biggest comeback, still 2nd biggest in playoff history.

And while it wasn't a huge comeback... the '09 game against MIA is one of the most improbable wins ever. 27 points with less than 14:53 TOP. Worth sprinkling in here.

Disagree C & O. People don’t remember single games unless they saw it. Even if it had huge historical importance, people hardly remember Alan Ameche/Unitas and the greatest game ever played (it still is the greatest game considering that it was what sold america on TV and football). You are an historian so you will remember those two games. No casual fan, like most people are, will.

Reich is a bad coach ........ and the Panthers' roster is horrible. Those 2 concepts are not mutually exclusive of one another.
