It was brutally obvious at the last home game that the Eagles were doing everything they could to mute the crowd.  We got into the game about an hour before kickoff, and the music was unusually loud and there was never a break- almost like there was a DJ.  It continued throughout the game, as the volume of the music was noticeably louder than normal.

I understand the embarrassment of having your fans' boos get picked up on national tv, or the crowd chanting for the firing of your coach, or even your overly sensitive players overhearing comments from the stands.  But this is really irritating.

I'm expecting low TV ratings and another loss.

a A** whoopin......most of these guy have either quit or can't figure out what they're supposed to do....the remaining few that are squared away....well, there's just too few of them.....and the guys with the headsets that are telling them what to do, will tell them wrong....again.

8th loss.

Can't disagree with either assessment here.  Sad that we can't even expect to be Carolina at home on MNF.

I was more asking what Dave was expecting from the home crowd Monday night and if he had any explanation for the way the Eagles clearly changed the gameday experience to save themselves from being embarrassed last home game.

Mess,

I think you can expect a real Mess on Monday night vs the Panthers.

You answered your own question. They did it, to save themselves the embarrassment of having the home crowd boo or chant Fire Andy. Good idea imo.

If Reid had an ounce of class, he would step down now to avoid what could be an incredibly embarrassing night for the Eagles.      Reid stepping away now could turn this from the disaster it potentially will be, to "hey, it's time to look to our future".

No.

I expect yet another steaming pile of crap in this hopelessly lost season.

[SNOORDA]

I expect to be changing the channel in disgust by half-time.

I expect to hear gruden talk about how great cam is playing since he will look like a HOF qb agianst this d.  

I expect 50 year old steve smith to light up our secondary.

I expect we will see no turnovers from the eagles D and when they finally make a play for loss they will celebrate like they won the SB even though they are down by 3 scores.

I expect another game with less than 13 points scored by the Eagles.

I expect the eagles will get not a single prime time game next season and rightfully so.

I expect numerous drive killing  penalties from the eagles o-linemen.

I expect 50+ pass attempts.

I expect horrible special teams play.

I expect Dave will have a hard time writting an article Tuesday morning.

^I prefer Sunday afternoon games.  So I'm good...

[DaveSpadaro]

I think the explanation for the increased volume was made, so I won't go into it again. I expect a win

What explanation would that be? That as a fanbase, our opinion doesn't matter?

with no explanation as to why he was canned. Novacare must be a very interesting place to work right now.

Well, it's clear that the owner was not satisfied with that censorship, and quickly held the person in charge accountable.

Now if only that culture of accountability was consistent throughout the organization.....
