Andy Reid seems to have lost control of this team. I have enjoyed watching his teams during the years, but this club seems to have mailed it in. I would point out to georgeonthemountain, however, that Reid was far more successful without Vick than he’s been with him.

I was wrong. And the real problem is this: The eagles have no leadership on or off the field. Thats been true for a few years. They have had talented teams that quit or choked when it got tough. That comes from the top.

As long as Reid and Vick are there the eagles will fail.

But what do you expect Andy Reid to do in post-game comments? Say “Ya, Desean is a terrible teammate I can’t stand him, he ignores our QB an dogs routes.” Cause that’s gonna fix the team, right? Throwing you’re big-play guy under the bus?

And remember: backup quarterback (who all you same people have been sayin in the past “sucked” and how Kafka is a better option, McCoy was banged up, Seattle actually has a pretty good defense (especially secondary), no Jeremy Maclin, and Riley Cooper has been dropping passes. Sooooo maybe you don’t all go off saying the Eagles are a terrible team based on Thursdays performance.

That all being said: It does sicken me that at the end of this season Desean Jackson will prolly sign a bigger better contract than Matt Forte will, simply because some stupid team will think that Desean is more valuable because his big-play opportunity and punt return abilities. He’s fast, explosive, and a good receiver, but bad attitude always seems to prevail.

P.S.: If Vick will be out a while….maybe we could see McNabb and TO back in Philly?? The NFL network would have a field day.

it was all crap b/c the match up and game were terrible so THE MEDIA had to fill in….punks

You’re an Idiot. Lighten up Francis.

Deflect it to himself.

It doesn’t, but it can take an incomplete picture, crop a guy (Cooper) out of the scene, and slap whatever caption they want onto it.

It’s obvious they were playing up Jackson’s contract drama for entertainment purposes. Jackson has ALWAYS done a half-hearted job when the play is designed for him to just clear his guy out. Is it lame? Yes. Is it new? No. The NFL network only focuses on it now because that’s one of the subplots they were working. Guys like Rosenthal didn’t catch that, but I thought it was kinda transparent…

We want to build our heroes then we want to kill them, all on national television. It is the birth and death narrative that the media craves, and will stop at nothing to complete.

How many times must we kick our athletes, spit on them, insult them and bury them? What are we gaining by doing this? We should be proud of their talent. We should support them.

Instead we defile their names while they throw their bodies in a meat grinder to win the favor of a national media and fan base that honestly wouldn’t care if they broke their necks.

All because you people think that television is real, that it tells the whole story.

Sure it does.

How do you justify DeSean all bright and perky and yakking it up while his teammate lay motionless on the ground with a potentially serious neck/head injury? Most players ON EITHER TEAM are going to grab a knee, say a silent prayer, or othewise show their respect. Instead, this self-centered POS is running off at the mouth, smiling, showing absolutely no concern for his teammate’s well-being.

Did he duck/slide out of hits? Absolutely. Did he dog routes? Please… are you blind? Not only is he a sorry excuse for a teammate, he’s a sorry excuse for a man.

Rosenthal, you should interview for a coaching job and quit this one.

No, but you can fire him based on him appointing his Offensive Line Coach to be the Defensive Co-ordinator. Great move. Reid should be canned.

Daddy in denial and making excuses for them while they spin out of control.
No difference.
