THEY STINK. THE WIDE NINE ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE LINEBACKERS THAT CAN FILL AND TACKLE NOT 5′-9″ 7TH ROUNDERS AND A WANNA BE LIKE MY BROTHER. BROTHER….EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS OR SHOULD.

It’s foolish for Castillo to think that. It took him 12 games to form any kind of consistency, and that was against crap teams. I can’t imagine the garbage we would have seen had we played the Saints or Packers in that stretch.

Castillo would be lucky to stay on staff. Lurie basically spelled it out, “Reid, make the right decision or your @$$ is gone.” I don’t think Reid can bet all his chips on such a long shot.” Hire someone with experience, it’s stupid to wait much longer.

Yes. So if the mission is to be the best as an NFL franchise, that means total commitment right? As a 35 year Eagles fan I’ve seen, Rich Kotite, Ray Rhoads, Buddy Ryan, etc. All varying degrees of good, none great. Andy does not know how to connect with the fan base and even when everyone knows changes must be made, he refuses to acknowledge that and adjust. I am patient and want desperately to see my team win a championship. I don’t truly think it’s ever been about winning it all-until last year. While it seemed they were “buying a championship” to some, to most Philly fans we were simply addressing needs we all knew were needs for years. The problem is, Andy, ever the smart guy, underestimated the lack of talent in the linebackers and the complete overhaul of offensive and defensive schemes. The fact is, his arrogance prevented him from realizing the faith Jeff Lurie had in him and his inability to make decisions on game day, would be his demise. I’ll give him credit, he never lost the team; but why would he? The players he protected are blindly loyal because in most cases, guys like Moises Foiku, Joselio Hansen and Evan Mathis, never make it on any other team-they’re simply grateful to the one guy who saw them as valuable. Here, however, is the bottom line. No owner allows his head coach to destroy their franchise without expectations for immediate improvement (think Bob Kraft or Dan Rooney). Unless of course, the goal is to keep the seats full, sell hats and t-shirts and make the Conference Championship every so often. I think, that’s all it’s ever been about for Jeff Lurie. So for all the outsiders that think it’s “great” that we win alot…it is…the first 2 years. CHAMPIONSHIPS is what we want, not just good. If I wanted to simply win alot of games in the regular season, I’d follow the Bills or the Chargers. My time, sadly after 35 years, comes to and end this year. I can no longer watch the mediocrity continue.

Mudd did a great job with the line. Washburn brought alot to the Eagles d-line but Andy dropped the ball when it came to Castillo.

It’s not Castillo’s fault. He did the best he could considering the circumstances. He deserves to be retained on the staff in some capacity.

Spags would be an excellent hire by Philly. If Andy can pull that off. The Eagles would have one of the strongest staffs in the entire league.

It works fantastically … when you can get the FO to draft linebackers that aren’t the same size as Vern Troyer and Warwick Davis. Babin had 18 sacks, Trent Cole had 11 and missed 3 or 4 games. The D-Line was the only part of the defense that actually performed on a consistent basis this year.

I’m an Eagles fan and support Andy Reid and Juan Castillo. Early in the season some of the losses, like the Atlanta game, were on the defense. However, some of the losses, like the Buffalo game, were lost primarily because of turnovers. Neither Juan or Andy turned the ball over a league high of 37 times like the players especially Vick. Further, Maclin, Jackson, and Avant just didn’t produce this year like I was expecting. If the D can consistently stop the run and not give up the big pass plays it will improve. If the O can protect the ball and make plays it will also improve. If the whole team plays 60 minutes and protects leads then the Eagles should win a few more games next year. Finally, when the Eagles have a lead at halftime the coaches have to do a better job at identifying what adjustments the other time will make and then adjusting to that. I think this will help the players to protect the lead.

Everyone said that this was the best Eagles team he ever had. Lurie himself said they were “all in” for 2011. Then they ended up being 8-8. What a disappointment.

But they end the season by beating Matt Moore, Mark Sanchez, Rex Grossman, and Steve McGee and that saves Reid’s job?? Gimme a break. It’s time for a change Philly. That much we know.

Campaigning for a job with a team which has no current openings on their defense staff is classless. Naturally we all know an opening is on the way at DC, but still, Spags should just keep his mouth shut about jobs that other people currently hold.

Andy Reid is the best coach Philly has ever had. Too bad there are so many 24/7 drunken “fans” that want him gone. They are too inebriated to realize that there next coach could be a Norv Turner, Todd Haley, or perhaps even someone like Josh McDaniels.

Hey, guess what? We already have the NFC version of Norv Turner! His name is Andy Reid. Two coaches with consistently good teams and plenty of talent yet underachieve every year. Andy Reid has a better winning record!!! whoop de doo, you clearly know nothing about the Eagles coaching staff besides that Andy has a winning record.
