I liked the onsides kick to start the game vs Dallas. The one that worked. I don't remember what year it was

The tie was an absolute disgrace...yeah it proved to ultimately be a tie breaker in the Eagles favor BUT a win would have done the same thing

Other then that all your moments are 2004 and older, which says he hasn't done much lately

The 2008 cowboys shellacking week 17 and how it built up to that point. Remember Dawk that game...

yep, 44-6 definitely should be on the list. Miracle at the meadowlands part 2 should be there too. there was also a tight MNF win against the Giants where Trotter sacked Collins to force a fumble that Hollis recovered for the win. Forgot the year but it was a pretty memorable game where we seemed like we were turning the corner. There was also the game where Damon Moore saved the day by stopping a hook and lateral play to end that game that went for like 70yds but came up 1 yd short.

As much as I want to see Andy leave, he has given this city a team to believe in.

That WAS the picklejuice game.   I was there.   111 degrees that day.   To watch all the hopes and dreams of the Cowboys get destroyed that game with Aikman getting knocked out, Their new prize possession Galloway getting knocked out of the game(later discovered to be an ACL(?) bust and out for the season), and Duce running up and down the field was a real treat.

Pathetic that all that promise went to waste as Andy was too pigheaded to adjust to his talent, nor filling in the gaping holes on the team.

  Part three.  Look into what Clyde Simmons pulled off there ;)

This was one of Reid's most idiotic moments, and served as a microcosm of Reid's tenure here and his philosophy. On a windy day against a team with a good secondary, but horrible run defense, Reid called 56 pass plays. Had it not been for Reid's asinine play-calling we would've won that game.

I did too, especially since it was the one and only road game I've ever been to. Plus, most of the best moments happened either in my endzone, or going in my general direction. The TD when TO stood on the star in the helmet in the EZ, the 14 second scramble/bomb to Freddie Mitchell, the 59 yard bomb to Pinkston. Awesome game.

Part 4 actually. Westbrook's punt return should be part 3.

  seriously man you need to STFU.  I knew as soon as I saw that you were last one to comment on this thread that it would be something exactly like what you typed, just more slamming of Reid.  Yes, we get it, we've heard you and people like you for years before.  Clearly, this thread wasn't about that, and yet you have to come pollute it with the same tired ish.  people on the board might want to discuss other things, so f off.  It's pathetic that after just a few months we all already know everything you're going to "add" to the discussion.  next time you want to troll around why don't you just regale us with more bs stories about your hs football days, or maybe you legged out a triple in beer league softball or sank a 15 footer in the over 30 league at the Y

Um someone having a bad day?

Freedom of press man I have the right to say what I want about Andy and do it where I want..

And really when have I ever talked about stories from HS days.  I made a comment in another thread about Nnamdi and it being pretty simple that your taught that in high school......but other than that...

  Freedom of press?  No, try again.  You talking on a board is not press.  Try freedom of speech.  Nobody is telling you that you don't have freedom of SPEECH.  I'm telling you that the same tired ish you say in every other thread really has to be brought in here?  Can you read what the thread is about or do you just click into every one and make the same stupid points over and over?  Ok, we get it, you hate reid, want him fired, hope he gets fired.  Fine.  This thread is not about that, if you couldn't tell.  This thread was about the good eagles moments in his career, so contribute to that or go find another reid bashing thread to run your mouth in.  You have a right to free speech, you have a right to be an idiot, and you have a right to click into this thread, I just wish you wouldn't exercise all three at the same time.  And talking about hs fundamentals is fine.  You can do that without getting into the "there was a kid who played in the state championship and I SHUT HIM DOWN" kind of talk you got into.  I'm just telling you- don't be that guy who just says the same thing in every thread and comments in every thread.  Add something to the discussion, or don't be a part of it.  If you want to be like the FAT (Fire Andy Today) idiot who just ran into every thread and posted FAT 12 times, go ahead, nobody can stop you, but you're just showing yourself to be an annoying, small-minded chump devoid of any sign of original thought

Monday night massacre Nov 2010 vs. Skins...

Getting TO and Kearse in the same off-season (within days of each other) at positions where fans were begging for upgrades (also let Troy V. and Bobby T. and Duce walk that year)...  Sad, but had a knack for knowing when players were on the downside...

Bringing Trotter back (playing special teams at first) and then inserted back at MLB finally giving us that presence in the middle to make it to the SB... if he woulda stayed we would've made 2 more Super Bowls...

Drafting Lito, Sheldon, Michael Lewis and Westbrook on the same weekend... by far our best draft in my memory...

That wild eight minutes in New York, culminating in that D Jax return. That was special. 44-6 was amazing. Dawkins speech after beating Atlanta in the NFCCG... lots of great memories.

As a man I feel bad for Andy he's been through some rough **** this past year.  I seriously thought this was the season he would pull the team together and they would play for him.  That clearly hasnt happened and he clearly needs to go.  Needs to walk away from the game take some vacations with his wife bond with his remaining children and grandchildren then in 5 or 6 years come back and resurrect the Browns or something.

As for the thought process on the whole press/speech issue.  Im not exactly speaking, im posting therefore my posts are being read not heard by others.  If someone wants to be that anal and look up the difference between freedom of speech and press well then go ahead.  Is it really worth it?
