i agree that anything can happen. but they have such an uphill battle at this point.
reid also has a 13 year history of getting outcoached against quality opponets. he's real good against the 8 or 9 win playoff teams. but we're not gonna see them as the 5 or 6 seed.
inexcusable for this team to be 3-5 at this point.www.myspace.com0 -

so frustrating.
fair points. I love the guy, but I can't defend those two decisions. They are obviously awful. If those choices become his downfall so be it.
there's also the awful defensive drafting for the better part of a decade now.
i know i say this all the time, but i still can't believe how andy reid has undervalued the linebacker position for as long as he has. it makes zero sense. all good teams have at least one solid linebacker. we've got a bunch of 5th and 6th rounders out there every year.
he's let this team become soft over the years. i fucking hate that.www.myspace.com0 -

to be fair you were also real excited about DRC coming here. I said I didn't want him because he's a bitch.
you were excited about nate allen too and he's sean consadine part 2.
reid has done a terrible job of drafting LBs. He has wasted some high picks on them and they haven't panned out.
I don't know. The guy's philosophy seems to work pretty well. His career record is pretty fucking good. He just hasn't been able to pick a QB that has been able to get them over the hump in the playoffs. That could lead to his downfall. I really don't see the eagles getting rid of him anytime soon though...regardless of what the fans want.
I still don't get how the eagles fans treat buddy ryan, who won exactly ZERO playoff games here, like a god and they crucify andy reid. mind boggling0 -

at least they didn't follow the advice of you and a few others on here and sign that turd Albert Haynesworth. Released by the Patriots today after failing to find any takers for the dog. i think after week 2 you even tried to sell me that the birds should have signed him. as i said in the off-seaon once a turd always a turd.0 -

I wanted the eagles to sign haynesworth. Call me crazy, but I still wouldn't mind them brining him in. Gotta figure the guy is running out of chances. And it's pretty obvious that the eagles defense needs all the help it can get. If anyone can light a fire under his ass it is washburn
kinda pathetic that the season has come to this0 -

drc was a trade, not a draft pick. it was a good one for the eagles (you thought it was a good trade too). kolb's not a very good quarterback. he was having a bad year and now is injured. plus they got a 2nd rounder out of it.
his record is good in the regular season. but he struggles against good teams. always has--this year is no different. and he hasn't won a playoff game since 2008. and has only won 3 playoff games since 2004. the eagles have been largely mediocre for about 6 years now. the goal is to win a championship, not 10 regular season games every year followed by a quick playoff exit.www.myspace.com0 -
the benefit to giving haynesworth a shot was that you could cut him like the pats just did if it didn't work out and they wouldn't be stuck owing him a huge amount of money.www.myspace.com0

I liked the trade for the 2nd rounder...not because of DRC. I was on record as saying I didn't like him because he was too soft and they already had a soft corner in samuel. My point was that you are ripping reid for allowing his team to get soft, but you were on board with some of the guys he brought in. Just asking you to be fair...you can't agree with moves they make then rip them for being soft
I think most coaches probably struggle against good teams. Reid still has a winning record in the playoffs. He just had them in the NFC title game 3 years ago.
You guys know where I stand. Like I said, I'll be surprsised if he gets canned.
My buddies at the game were talking about how crazy the crowd went for buddy at halftime. I'm glad I declined tix. I would have lost my shit if I was there for that0 -

exactly. there was no downside. still isn't...especially with where they are at this point
I wouldn't mind seeing the eagles cut someone like samuel to try and wake this team up.0 -

So now record matters? Cause it doesn't to you in baseball. Kinda funny imo, the guy with a title is a moron and should be fired. Yet the guy who for years has made the same bad mistakes is praised and should be allowed to continue. If that isn't a crazy thought process then i guess i am clueless.
And i'd sign Haynesworth as well so maybe i am nuts!!!!Go Birds!!!!0 -
And what coach and franchise says there all in and then hires there off line coach to be there DEF CORD. I could see making him a lb's coach or something. He's just so full of himself and that irks me to know end.Go Birds!!!!0

reid has never had a team that was the odds on favorite to win it all (even in 2001 the birds would have been dogs to oakland in the SB). manuel has choked with the WS favorite each of the last 2 years
I really don't want to get into an eagles vs phillies thing. Two completely different situations0 -

look, reid hasn't won anything either but people would go crazy for him if he was 80 years old and battling cancer too. everyone's tenure is looked upon better years after it ended. a lot of people in this town were happy when he was fired.
god bless buddy. hope he wins this battle.www.myspace.com0 -

his hatred of manual and blind loyalty to reid despite, in his opinion, reid continually picking the wrong player at the most important position in all of sports is just ridiculous. that much is obvious.www.myspace.com0 -

they did choke in a couple of those NFC title games. I've said a billion times that mcnabb was the problem, not reid.
also, the NFC title game isn't winning it all.0 -

eh, cancer aside I think we would all agree that he is more revered in this town than reid is.
I think buddy was a douche, but of course I want to see him do well in his fight against cancer. His recent quotes that his eagles teams were close to winning a super bowl were downright comical. The guy never even won a playoff game!!0 -

haven't I said that if he gets fired for that then I can't disagree? Nice to see that you are beginning to see the light on vick though
I would bring up baseball points on why I dislike manuel, but that is a waste of time on this board since people would rather argue nonsense.0
