Anybody think Jeff Fisher could straighten this thing out? I just think Fish is low key enough to go into Tampa and turn that right around.

I would initially say Gruden would come in and completely live up to the hype, but that would again, bring out the dream team hype all over again. One thing is certain, Reid is a good football coach , that simply stuck with the wrong DC. Very likely he moves on and would be successful – anybody think he’d move to Cleveland (with Shurmur doing a “one and done?)

Duke isn’t successful because of coach K, OSU, LSU, USC and so on aren’t winners because of great coaching, its all the top players now only want to be on the team that gets to be on the big stage. Its now about competing anymore its all about me me me and being on the big stage.

The Eagles are finding the big names they went out and got aren’t so talented after all. The fact is they are all standing around waiting for something to happen.

——————————————————

The Giants wrote the book on how to get beaten by the Eagles with Desean Jackson. I believe they are 2-7 against the Eagles since Jackson was drafted (Cowboys are 5-3).

You don’t need a book to write “bust him at the line and cover him over the top”.

“They’re BOTH choke artists. No one cares about regular season records. They’ve both had stacked teams for years.”

Yeah sure undrafted Romo throwing to undrafted Miles Austin, Roy Williams, 7th round pick Patrick Crayton, third round pick Jason Witten, a stable of nothing special RB’s, playing behind makeshift OLs and a questionable D vs. Andy and his plethora of highly drafted QBs, WRs, RBs and defensive players. For Pete’s sake they handed out over $200 million in contracts to defensive players alone this season. They can’t even BUY Andy a team. You’re the kind of guy that will sit here and tell me how stacked the Cowboys have been then turn around and tell how bad Jerry Jones is in talent evaluation and acquisition, aren’t you?

Well the fans showed alot of class when they went wild thinking Gronk was hurt yesterday. Of course as usual the Phili fans were wrong.

————-

Just as the Giants did last week, while allowing them to look like they were doing something — STILL only managing to “win” 17-10.

This team is over. Thank God.

It’s obviously a far-fetched scenario given how they’ve played, but I’m curious if I’m correct in my reasoning or if I’m overlooking some detail that truly does eliminate them from the playoffs.

I’d appreciate it if someone could clarify this.

————-

Their only hope is that the Bears, Falcons, Lions and Giants all lose 4 of 5 and they beat Dallas again, while hoping Dallas loses 4 of 5 otherwise.

That’s just not going to happen.

They hold no tiebreakers over any of these teams unless the Giants completely choke away every one of their three remaining divisional games.

Tony Romo: .639 as a starting QB.

Yet to some of these Eagles fans, Reid is a winner and Romo is a loser.

The Giants wrote the book on how to stop him, everyone else copied it. But you’re right.

At least football fans in NJ aren’t morons like in Philly.

LMAO!!
Or how about "Philadelphia, where dreams go to die"……….

Did you like how Welker displays how it is to be a professional? He just plays ball without all the pouting and histrionics that exemplify that egirls squad. De punk looks so tough on the bench but he just flat out is a whiner and a cancer on that team. Diva with no heart. Haynesworthless and De punk should have a contest on who can make the meanest looking face while not doing anything to help their tem on the field.

Now, go and look at teams that have tried to “buy” the lombardi over the past few years… Skins, Vikings, Iggles.. Vikings had a good year in 09, but thought 10 would be better, they flopped. You can’t buy championships!

Packers? drafting built their team. Lions? Drafting… Pats? BB trades good players for more picks..

Blame your coach all you want. But it’s not coaching. It’s the “GM” position..

Tony Romo: .639 as a starting QB.

Yet to some of these Eagles fans, Reid is a winner and Romo is a loser.

You can count to five but you can’t count to six? Use your other foot.

You really think that Philly beats the Pats with Vick? Really??? Dude, New England spotted you a 10 point lead and yet, the Eagles had to score at the end of the game to get within 18. Brady only completed passes to four guys, just four guys! The All World defensive backfield gave up close to 400 yards in receiving to four guys. 55% conversion rate on 3rd down for New England. Yeah, Vick would have shut that down. Ron Mexico is 3-6 this year after getting paid. Maybe the Eagles brain trust should have checked with Arthur Blank about the wisdom of giving Michael a bunch of cash. Lesean McCoy got his water turned off. One run for 22 and then another 10 carries for 9 yards total.

I questioned the Eagles’ faithful regarding the wisdom of having a shaky OL and no LBs prior to the start of the season. I was told that Philly would be so far ahead that their flaws would never show. How’s that working out for you? The Eagles pushed “all in” this season with their commitments to guys like Vick, Jenkins, and Nnamdi. I’m sure that Reid was a big part of those decisions. When it blows up in your face and the best you can hope for is to try and play spoiler, you’re NOT one of the 3 best coaches in the league. Not this year!

And this team is much worse of a flop than the Miami Heat. The Heat made it to the NBA Finals and the Eagles don’t even have a shot at the playoffs.

As for those who claim that this team was built around FA, I find that notion to be erroneous and played out: this team is largely built around players from the draft and castoffs who no one else really wanted (i.e. Michael Vick, Vince Young) Let’s go through the starters just to make sure: Vick (castoff), McCoy (draft), Herremans (draft), Watkins (draft), Kelce (draft), Mathis (FA), Peters (trade), D. Jackson (draft), J. Maclin (draft), Avant (draft), Celek (draft); so 3 of the 11 starters on offense were either traded for or picked up as FA. Defense: Cole (draft), Patterson (draft), Jenkins (FA), Babin (FA), Rolle (draft), Chaney (draft), Fokou (draft), Samuel (FA), Coleman (draft), Allen (draft), Asomugha (FA); so 4 of the 11 starters on offense were signed via FA.

More than 2/3 of the starters were drafted and, before this “spending spree” (as many of you like to call it), the Eagles were in the top 5 in terms of cap room in the NFL. A lot of the players they acquired were guys who signed for a year who wanted an opportunity to play for Andy, especially Vince Young.
