What really gets me about Reid is the press conferences and the answers (or lack thereof) that he gives. I’m tired of the “This one is on me.” responses, he’s run out of swords to fall on.

And no, flea-flickers and trick plays aren’t the answer but make adjustments.

What do you suggest?

Stability is an under-valued commodity in the NFL. Look at Tennessee? They’ve never won a Super Bowl, but I don’t see people calling for Jeff Fisher’s head? Tom Coughlin was on the chopping block, but now he’s a genius? Do you fire Mike Shannahan because the Broncos haven’t been to the Super Bowl since Elway retired ten years ago? No. Why punish Reid? Teams that dance with the girls that brought them tend to fare better in the long run.

The two most important building-blocks in the modern NFL franchise are QB and head coach/ GM. Both Reid & McNabb are responsible for the team’s success. Talking about getting rid of Big Red, to me, is as silly and pre-mature as the talk about getting rid of Donovan last season.

Yes, the Chicago loss was bad, but Westbrook, who’s their best all-around weapon, didn’t play. And while I won’t make excuses for the Redskins loss, I will say that Washington is at least a good team. And we are talking about a team who’s missing a Pro Bowl guard and their top wide-out from a year ago.

And as far as trick-plays and flea-flickers and such… the Eagles do more of that than most teams. They’re good for a flea-flicker at least once a year, as well as a surprise on-side kick. And of late we’ve seen A LOT of DJax on the reverse. I think the problems on offense come from a lack of physical play. But that’s just the team’s philosophy — it’s gotten them this far and that’s how they’re built. To try and turn into the Bears or the Redskins now would mean starting over, and I still think they have a solid core of players (particularly, some young up and comers).

All that being said, I think they’re the worst team in the division. And it hurts my soul to say that. Still, making a change at the top will only mean that some other team will get to make a generous up-grade to their coaching staff.

Noway Lurie fires reid and has to pay him and another coach.

I swear to you in 2004 (not drafting Steven Jackson, but drafting Andrews was my biggest concern) I became very concerned with the team. Before they got TO they were a balanced offense between run and pass. But once they got TO the team began to pass 65% of the time. They were the first team ever to go to the superbowl passing for 65% or more. Thats why I knew they weren’t going to win the game.

Also IMO since the eagles pass so much it seems that the offensive line is no longer aggressive (or just forgot how) when it comes to run blocking.

This OL is the biggest in the league yet they can rarely run block. I feel this is a direct result of Reid’s pass happy offense.

And to never surround Mcnabb with any type of real help is just plain stupidy mixed in with ignorance. And some of this needs to fall directly on Lurie’s head. Why would you want your Franchise QB to take hit after hit (see Giants game last year) and not pull andy aside and not say sh^%. Thats just a bad investment.

Could this be what Jerome Bettis mentioned in his book how management set up Kordell?? Who knows but it sure seems fishy.

But sadly the sheep (fans) and trouble makers (media) will lay the blame on Mcnabb. I was on the eagles forum and fools were blaming Mcnabb left and right.

So once Mcnabb is gone this year who are they going to blame then????

The Eagles can still salvage the season but it’s going to be a bear with Westy’s fractured ribs and the team at a crossroads as far as it’s playing personality. I said in the pre-season that I didn’t have a feel for this team and sadly I still don’t which is sad because the games count now.
