Here are a few reason as to why Andy Reid needs to be fired:

-Andy Reid has been exposed as a bad coach because he has managed to let his coordinators carry him though his time with the team. The downfall of the Andy Reid era started when Brad Childress left. Then after Jim Johnson (RIP) passed away Andy Reid and the team never really recovered. Marty M is a terrible offensive coordinator he calls the dumbest plays every game. Literally the defenses run the same blitzes and he has not come up with a game plan for it because Vick looks lost every time. Doing a 5 step drop on the opponents 3 yard line is f****** stupid. They have done it couple of times that led to the biggest turnovers. For example, the Arizona Game where Vick gets blasted and tonight when he throws a pick.

-Andy Reid allows Marty M to call these stupid a** plays and keeps him as a coach and thats why they both need to be fired. This is not only this year, I have been saying this for years Marty M sucks. Every year we have been using the screen less and less. Not only that we have one of the best running backs in the league and we don't use him.


Vick deserves some blame but not all of it. Vick needs to be benched here is why:

-Vick lost confidence in himself or has lose his identity. He looks confused and does not know whether to pass or run. Instead of just reacting like he should, this coaching staff has took that away and now he has to think too much.

-The playing calling as I said is dumb as hell. How the hell do we expect the play action to work when we don't run the ball? 99.9% of the time we run play action the defense does not bite on the run fake and Vick is getting hit. The way the plays are called it seems like they expect Vick to extend the play to let play develop instead of giving him extra protection. I have Marty M he doesn't know what he is doing.

-I like Vick but I know it is in the best interest of the team to sit him for Nick Foles. The reason I say this is because I know once they put in Nick Foles they would actually start running the ball with McCoy. They would change the play calling to take a load off of Foles. All because he is a rookie. I have seen it with Kevin Kolb in how they run the ball more with qb's that are not mobile. So we need Nick Foles in so it would force eagles to use McCoy.


Cut Bowles some slack:

-it is only his second game as the d coordinator. He is not used to running a defense with the wide-nine. By the way that wide-nine needs to go too because it sucks and the eagles dont get that much pressure with it.

-The defensive players are making him look bad by missing tackles and blowing coverages.


I hate to say it but the Season looks like it is coming to an end soon. We still have a chance but I dont want to make the playoffs and lose in the playoffs where it could result in Reid keeping his job, Reid needs to go because we need a good coach and coordinators to help this team get to where it needs to be.

i actually agree with this. bowles made some excellent calls tonight and players just missed tackles or missed sacks. additionally, i cant even count how many times we had a running back for a two yard loss and he broke 2-3 tackles for gains of 8 or more yards.

this, on one of the plays you could see in the top right of the screen DRC didn't even know what he was supposed to be doing and was just wandering in no man's land by himself. turned out of be a giant run and he didn't even react.

You guys are writing books tonight but re Bowles, the Saints O only scored 21. Having Bowles take over midseason to face ATL and NO and not even calling for extra practice during the bye was poorly executed. The D also was already in a downward spiral at that point. He hasn't turned it around that's for sure but tough to kill him for that in this situation

we weren't killing him at all. if anything we were defending him and getting on the players. I thought he actually called a great game but hte players just didn't excute it properly by completely missing assignments, tackles or just not caring enough to make a tackle. for instance, the saints ran to the outside because they knew cromartie and nnamdi wanted no part in tackling. i swear say cromartie fake a tackle at least 4-5 times and nnamdi just whiffle or get run over 2-3 times. I blame the players tonight on defense. if they could make a damn tackle the saints offense might have only scored 14 against us

The OL is the problem.  It has rarely been a strong point in a Reid offense, but injuries have rendered this team completely useless.

[bigmac65]

That Nandiy Asoigetmuged sucks who ever said he is one of the best corners in the NFL should be shot hell he played for a prenial loser in Oakland. I can't remember seeing a player miss that many sure tackles. I bench him for donald duck the duck would play better than this. Oh and nobody wears arm sleeves in this league he looks like a p**** with em on.

Sp the defense was Castillo's fault when we lost to the Steelers and Lions, but it's the players now they've conceded 58 in two games under Bowles?

i blame bowles for hte atlanta game but this game was all on the players. he cannot make tackles out there or shed blocks. he actually dialed up good blitzes and the players just missed sacking brees or let ivory just run over them.

[philafan4o8]

as an eagles fan i must admit that we are the worst team in football right now

McCoy getting injured the way he did just about sums up the competence of the coaches this season.

[Emergent C]

So, let me get this straight:  you use the All-Pro HB sparingly in the first quarter, and sit him down after every big play he makes so his rookie back up can spell him.  Then, in garbage time, when there is no hope of winning, you keep him in and he gets a concussion.  

Brilliant strategy.  

Time's YOURZZZZZ.

they were top ten under Castillo and they were again this year up until the week he got fired.  After that week they had fallen out of the top ten now there bottom ten.  I would love to Castillo back after watching this.

The Saints and Falcons offenses are considerably better than the Steelers and Lions.

The steelers have 207 total points, the Lions have 216.  The Saints have 249 and the Falcons have 247.

On Bowles, don't forget that the offense turns the ball too, thus putting his defense in really bad spots.
