"There were other things in execution and that's completely on my plate," the coach continued.
If you think that you've heard that before - and how could you not after a decade of Reid's day-after news conferences? - it's because you have.
Deflecting the criticism away from his players and assistant coaches is standard modus operandi.
He's done it when slight things have gone wrong, let alone after a complete breakdown like against New Orleans.
Even slightly understanding the way Reid works is to know that he will not call out individuals for bonehead plays, mental mistakes and/or penalties.
He groups it all in categories, such as an absence of discipline or execution, so that he conveniently shoulders the responsibility and notes that it is the head coach's job to put players in the "right positions" so that doesn't happen.
"I will address this with the team," Reid said. "We will figure out the problems, get them answered and resolved and get ready to play the Kansas City Chiefs."
There now, doesn't that make you feel better?
Actually, it should.
Like any coach, Reid has endured his share of losing streaks, but generally through his decade in Philadelphia, he has found ways to stop the bleeding after a traumatic loss.
Sunday was the sixth time a Reid team had surrendered more than 40 points.
Though the Eagles didn't win each time the following week, their effort was dramatically improved.
In 1999, Reid's rookie season with a team that finished 5-11, the Eagles responded to a 44-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts by pushing the Washington Redskins to overtime before losing, 20-17.
