Comments on: Kolb was calling out Eagles’ plays to Arizona defense

IT IS REALLY PRETTY SIMPLE…
The Michelin Man has yet, again, demonstrated his ineptitude for strategic planning, his love for showboats, and his extreme lack of a propensity for talent assessment… Really, if Mr. Kolb, a #1 draft choice and Eagle’s QB can retain the Eagle’s playbook AND learn and retain the Cardinal’s play book, AND call out to his defense the Eagle’s plays and have a viable effect on the outcome of a professional football game – Kolb is a genius. Mr. Fuddy-duddy deserves to be fire! Reid is no strategic planner: I submit 2nd & 4 from the Washington 7 yd line and Reid passes the ball three times straight with the 4th & goal & calls a pass to the flat- shades of Rhonde Barber jumping the route for a TD unabated in the NFC championship game at the Vet! … he learns nothing, he does not know to run to make the opponent use their time outs and to run the clock. He has no concept of a blind bootleg, let alone the coffin corner… He does not watch the greatest West Coast Offense a lan Montana & Walsh & the great 49er’s teams of that era… what a sham, what a hoax, what a LOSER! Reid has no demonstrative football savvy on game day, and has a totally inept ability to make appropriate situational game moment decisions. He is no assessor of talent. Reid has an great ineptitude exceeded only bu his EGO!! He blamed a kicker for losing a play-off game, while Mr. Akers continues to strive for perfection and is highly successful, while Reid does not realize that field goals are the result of offensive team failures… Let’s face it, really! Reid is a loser dressed up in the Packer’s past success. He NEVER should have been in Philly, while McNabb did his best and while at McNabb’s most dangerous time in the NFL, Reid failed to go to 7 men down with 2 tight ends to negate the 3-4 defense of the Patriots in the SB, and split the wideouts and put Westbrooke in motion to spread the defense AND if there weren’t 8 men in “the box” (the spy on McNabb in place), Donovan should have run at least for 100 yards, and the Birds should have disassembled the Pats. The shame is: ownership never played the game, never played a contact sport, and is focused on the profits and not the passion for The Kill.

I’d say they were better than the mid 80′s bears or early 90′s giants…

Those teams didn’t sustain the kind of defensive dominace that the mid90s-early2000s’ bucs did, plus free agency and what not… more rules to favor the offense, etc.

“oops, hit the wrong key – that bucs team – while a very good defense – is maybe – in the top 10 of super bowl teams, maybe….. also ’90 giants that shut down an explosive bills team was a lot better than bucs…….”
—————————————————

You do know the buc’s defense had more than 1 season, right?
From the mid 90s to early 2000s, they had to go toe to toe with some of the most explosive offenses of their era, including having to play against Barry Sanders twice, The Favre led Packers when he was the 3 time NFL MVP twice and The Moss/Carter record setting Viking’s offense twice, back in the NFC Central days, the Bucs then went on to hold the Greatest Show on Turf to 11 points in the NFC title game…. in a dome, on the road!
Just saying… They were LEGIT good.

i dod remember a game a few years ago where miami shut out NE in NE 21-0.

the cover story was that the fins had the patriots signals and all.

but i suspect it was more a case of “we win or we deliver u to goodell”.

Kolb has good reason to feel smited by the Eagles and Andy Ried…

Can’t blame him for stirring the pot a little…

Go Eagles…have to win this week.

this happens constantly in the NFL…every week, almost every game…

Fire-able offense? Gimme a break…

Plenty of things my Iggles are doin’ wrong…the Lawyer…not football expert…that wrote this should try harder, it won’t take long.

Happens EVERY week…teams pick up a practice squad player from a rival they are about to play….cut him 2 weeks later…

Do your job better blogger…

Wow – so many silly things to comment on in this post – first and foremost, the eagles would have been better in the long run with kolb instead of the convict(who needs to take off his shoes to count past 10….)
Also – not all nfl head coaches are ridiculously fat(like reid) – tom coughlin is the oldest coach in the league and looks to be in pretty good shape.
And lastly – to say the 2002 bucs had “one of the best defenses ever” is is just plain silly – let’s see – ’85 bears, 86 giants, 2000 ravens, several steeler teams – that buc

if reid tried to change anything, vick would pull a donovan and balk at wearing a wristband.

there’s a lot of nfl defenses that call out the plays and some of them never had players from philly. there’s been a few times in recent years where players laugh about how predictable andy reids offense can be.

Reid needs to leave town

This sort of thing results in a $750,000 fine and the loss of your first choice doesn’t it?

Or was that really a gross over reaction back in ’07?

Andy Reid=Donovan McNabb

Good enough to warrant high expectations and therefore good enough for you to hold on to, but will never win anything. Reid will be back next year, even though he deserves the ax. Works for me, I’m a Giants fan, I LOVE watching the Eagles struggle. Does Reid have a twin brother and can we get him installed as the Dallas HC?

Hey, if you can’t beat’m on the field…do it from the sidelines.

Unfortunately for Kolb, the Cards don’t get to play the Eagles every week.

Since Eagles raped the Cardinals in the trade.. I guess this is the only way Kolb will ever contribute.

Yep I say fire him. I have the perfect landing spot – - The Buccaneers. They have been described as Yungry – Young and Hungry. Reid def falls in the hungry category

Not sure what’s the big deal, this is an included perk of pickup up someone another team is getting rid of. You get their knowledge. It’s been stated countless times about a team picking up a castoff who isn’t very good, “They just want to pick his brain about the other teams scheme.” Usually the out of work player will take a few weeks pay to give it up before they get cut again.

It’s why teams don’t usually trade good or heavily involved players to division rivals, they’d get punked like the Eagles did 2X per year.

Ok Lets be fare, who thought this game would come down to the last 2 minutes? Also most plays have routes built in based on how the CB is defending the route that is built into the play… Eagles talent did not show up period, they had no business letting Larry Fitzgerald catch over a 100 yards on them, and losing to a back up QB.. Example, KC all they had to do was defend the run, didn’t help them against Denver. If the Eagles fire Reid, I will be one happy Giants fan, unless he is hired by Cowgirls, or Deadskins.

Skins fans are used to years of failure. They hav ea couple Superbowls form the 80′s to fall back on.

Eagles fans are sick of failure after a couple years. We have NOTHING to fall back on.

Sorry Skin’s fan, Eagles fans have higher standards and a longer drought to deal with.

We demand our team delivers every year.

Andy Reid had been a failure since 2004. It’s been long enough. We don’t need to fail with Andy. I’d rather try another coach now.

The Raiders got beat in th eSuperbowl because the Bucs defense back then was one of the best in NFL history. We know that he never had anything to do with the defense anywhere he has been a coach. Now, it doesn’t look like anyone is coaching the Bucs on either side of the ball. Sad.

Good! This’ll shut up those people from outside Philly that still insist that Andy is a great coach.
