yo iggle fans, relax. the guy hasn’t even called a game yet, let’s give him a chance to see if he can even do that before throwing andy under the bus for him.

we really are the hardest fans to please, so many teams out there would be overjoyed to have the success that the Eagles have had under Andy Reid. The grass is not always greener…

While I long for a super bowl win, I sincerely think Reid gives the Eagles the best chance to get there.

What should really happen, is fire Marty and spend some money on the O line.

That D hasn’t been the same since Jim Johnson passed, they passed on Dawkins for another couple of years and they went the big dollar free agent route.

They should load up on picks and move the turds before Bowles has time to save Andy’s rear. Really like Bowles ability to get it right.

You know, it’s a shame Andy doesn’t have that attitude. He’s been trying to re-invent football (i.e. pass 90% of the time and win) his whole career.

I’m an Eagles fan. If things don’t improve soon, Bowles may get another three game HC job for a tryout this season.

Way to give respect to the much maligned Castillo.

Hasn’t called plays in over 10 years. And that was for non division 1 college? His resume sounds slightly more seasoned than Juan Castillo

Jason Taylor, who played under him for a bit spoke very highly of Bowles on NFL Live yesterday. Schlereth who played with and against him also praised his intelligence and defensive soundness. I admit I was a little surprised he didn’t get a shot as a HC candidate after the Fins had a winning record with him as the interim HC. He sounds like he would be good. No nonsense, tough, can relate to players but will hold them accountable.

He’s also not going to improve the offense.

Bowles doesnt need to drastically change the defense. All he has to do is find a way to get pressure whether its from the front 4 or bringing the LB’s on a blitz but all he has to do is keep mixing things up to confuse the offense and i think he’ll get it done

“I’m not gonna reinvent the game,”

I like the guy already , he’s got both feet on the ground.
