I can't wait for this shtein. That stadium is going to be overrun with Eagles fans.
Sunday is going to be awesome. The Mayor and people of his ilk are distraught. The not-so-clever Zorn catchphrases "Are you Zorny?, etc" are long gone and they want him, Campbell, Cerrator and Napoleon Snyder dead.
Top that off with the stadium being overrun and local radio station promoting giving away tickets to Eagles fans....heavenly bliss.

I LOL every time I see this pic. Pretty sure thats not the reaction these idiots were thinking they'd get when the picture was taken, but still. :-D :-D
they were expecting you to get a stiffy
The kid with the gloves just has it going on. He mastered the ganstaz slouch perfectly. He doesn't hang back too far so that he looks like he has something wedged up his ass. He has it just right. Also the icing on the cake is the stone cold stare. When you use the gangstaz slouch you simply can't have any kind of smirk or frown because it takes away the badassness. This guy has it completely mastered and kudos to him. Anyone going to the game watch out. You don't wanna farg with these guys.
A+/10 slouch
He looks like he's trying to stealth out one he knows is going to be loud and putrid if he doesn't play it right.
Notice the faggy Coors light cans

weather might be the factor that keeps it close but otherwise eagles in something btwn a comfortable win and a rout
ill go 27-13
Eagles - 27

i wrote this on a typewriter
damn you all to hell
I'm hoping for a win, preferably less than 7 points, where the taterskins roll over and die from the start. I want Reid to panic, take over the playcalling completely, and keep the game much closer than it needs to be. Then I want him to do it next week and lose badly to a team trying to putter their way into the playoffs.
QuoteWith Hank Baskett (knee) apparently unlikely to play, and Kevin Curtis (calf) also hobbled, Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said Thursday that Reggie Brown will be dusted off and used in Sunday's game at Washington -- perhaps as a starter.
Brown, a starter going into the season, has been inactive the past two games and hasn't caught a pass since the Nov. 16 tie at Cincinnati. He said he doesn't know what sort of role he might expect.
"Play ball," he said. "Hopefully, try to contribute to the cause around here."
Asked what he thought he had to show the coaches, Brown said: "Show 'em what? To get back on the field? Before I got hurt (a groin injury vs. Atlanta Oct. 24) I came back out to be the leading receiver in two games," the Chicago and Washington losses, in which Brown caught six and four passes, respectively. "If that's not enough to show 'em ... I can't do anything more than I'm already doing. It's their decision whether or not to play me. It's just my decision whether or not to go out there and do my best and try to help this team make ti to the playoffs." WTF??
Mornhinweg and Andy Reid decided after the debacle at Baltimore Nov. 23 to cut down to four wideouts in most situations, instead of trying to incorporate six, as they had previously whenever everyone was healthy. Greg Lewis, whose special teams role kept him from being deactivated, was one of those left out. Brown, who had no special teams role, was the other.
Asked why he thought he'd fallen behind Jason Avant and Baskett -- who lack Brown's speed and smoothness, but have seemed more inclined to fight through defenders and awkwardly thrown passes to make catches -- Brown said: "I don't know. That's a question you can ask Reid. Then maybe you can come back down here and tell me. 'Cause I don't know. I don't get answers."
OK, Reg, will do. Andy's probably just been dying to tell all of us his exact thinking on that. Suprised he hasn't just volunteered it, when he's in one of those gabby moods.
Given all the talk lately about Donovan McNabb playing with a "chip on his shoulder" (micro? potato? wood?), perhaps the once-promising 2005 second-round pick will experience a similar rebirth.
Ouch to both comments especially the second one. Notice how it's not "Coach Reid"?
Should have bolded this...
QuoteAsked why he thought he'd fallen behind Jason Avant and Baskett -- who lack Brown's speed and smoothness, but have seemed more inclined to fight through defenders and awkwardly thrown passes to make catches --
"Smooth" isn't always good for a WR either. That sounds like "rounds off routes."
Avant has been pretty impressive lately. Greg Lewis still needs to be cut
He caught a pass thrown right to his numbers, wide open in the end zone, in a game where dropping it really wouldn't have mattered!
Also, he's the only Eagles wide receiver to ever catch a TD in a Super Bowl. OMG
The only memory I will ever have of Greg Lewis is of his "punt return" against the Packers last year. I know neither who the bigger idiot is nor who I hate more between him and Reid

"My career has been Hall of Fame worthy," Fletcher said. "But some coaches and some players get caught up in the hype reading the newspapers or listening to some national TV game as opposed to watching the game with no sound. ... I put myself up against anybody playing the position, anybody."

He's slightly above average - not a HOFer.
For comparisons sake and because I'm bored lets see how he compares to Stewart Bradley
Run D:
Eagles are ranked 5th
Skins are ranked 10th
Defense Tackles Interceptions Misc
Stewart Bradley 14 games
96 tackles
80 solo tackles
1 sack
1 INT
1 Forced Fumble
5 Passes deflected
London Fletcher 14 games:
114 tackles
84 solo tackles
0.5 sacks
0 INTs
1 Forced Fumble
5 Passes deflected
Maybe I'm missing something
That's not really a great comparison though since Stewart Bradley is a Hall of Famer.

What?
Didn't you hear? Stew is so dominant that they suspended the normal rules and let him in already.
The committee was desirous to see a white linebacker do well.
inducted from birth, it's been largely forgotten
Aside from Hank the Tank, looks like the Birds wont have Curtis as well as he missed his 3rd consecutive day of practice
R. Brown/DJackson/Avant as the starters
Look for G.Lewis to score 3 TDs.
This ain't good. I hope DJ can shoulder the load.
The Eagles can probably sleepwalk their way to a win this game, but I'm hoping Reid will do just enough for a loss to be placed all on his shoulders.

Good thing he's not a black guy or he would step on his own dick.
Reid would only outsource shooting to Joselio if the target was Lito.
Eagles receiver unhappy with benching
Eagles receiver Reggie Brown is not happy that he was left out of the lineup and out of uniform for two straight weeks. Asked why he thinks receivers Hank Baskett and Jason Avant moved ahead of him, Brown said yesterday: "I don't know. That's a question you need to ask Reid, then you can come back down here and tell me, because I don't know. I don't get answers. I'm in the dark right now. I've tried to. I don't get answers." Reid, of course, would be coach Andy Reid.
Philadelphia Inquirer
If he can look someone in the eye and say he doesn't know why he was benched, after the way he's played and getting hurt, then he's either an excellent liar of just friggen' stupid.
Try catching a ball in traffic occasionally, Reg.
Also, it's a repost from the Hank Baskett earlier in this very thread.
Good catch. You're a hero.
I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up on the next page too.
Is Mike McGlynn really starting tomorrow?

terrible farging throw...terrible farging call
only 3. brutal
a sideline pass? my farging god
Important to make a defensive stop here. The offense won't have many more chances to generate points.
That might be #4 on the top ten worst calls ever by Reid.
Why do they never use a McNabb sneak? Just run it in with McNabb.
lj didn't do something right? shocking
If they know he can not block or misses assignments stop running these dumbass plays with him in.
They are going to lose cause McNabb is going to turn it over on this upcoming drive.
And oh yeah terrible starting field position again.
if the defense doesn't score there is no way they are getting into the endzone
The running game has been completely taken out of the playbook.
This is terrible....with SD winning you would think this team would come out blazing.
I just can't believe how flat this team is for such and important game.
Did they overlook this weeks game - looking towards the next game against the Cowgirls?
asante samuel can suck a farging dick
Here comes a INT.
why do they abandon what has been working for them the past 4 weeks. this team is totally shteinting the bed. whoever is calling the plays needs to die. jesus christ sav rocca sucks
McNabb's off his game. Is this more of a puking type of situation or a laughing on the sideline kind of situation?
Game over.
MCNABB NEEDS TO USE HIS FAT LEGS TO GO RUN AND PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN. ENOUGH OF THESE CHECKDOWNS.
Defense gives up at least 3 pts here. At least 3 but probably 7.
This is more of a it's 2nd and 4 from your own 9 yardline and Andy Reid doesn't farging run the ball.
HOW DO YOU NOT RUN THE fargING BALL IN THAT SITUATION.
At worst you pick up a yard or two and it's 3rd and 2.
How can you not win a game that the other team is trying to make you win?

Exactly.
To make it up Reid will run the ball here on this drive on a 2nd and 10. Pick up 1 yd and its 3rd and 9 from the 10 yd line. Washington keeps getting the ball at midfield. Eagles from within their own redzone.
McNabb needs to stop hanging around in the pocket and just take off. Just run for once.
the coaching is pathetic they never even attempted to establish the run today. 14 fargin attempts. 14 farging attempts and now they go 3 and out all passes til the game ends...what a failure this is. totally shteinting the bed. there is no way McNabb is going to get them down the field. they only way they score here is if they balance this damn offense out and run the god damn ball. :boom
the defense did its job, they were on the field all day and kept taterskins to 10 point. reid and co choke once again. no excuses
zesty LOW MCNABB PASSES
Bad pass 1st down. Drop on 2nd down. Bad pass on third down.
No running the ball. No McNabb running the ball.
taterskins are not even bringing pressure. Just forcing them to win by passing.
holy S a drive that starts at the 20!
McNabb has shown he needs a running game to be able to relax in the pocket and make good throws. The receivers (mediocre at best) have shown they need a run game to get separation. worst case scenario. one of the worst games, if not the worst for the offense all year long. BRILLIANT!
The funny thing about this whole situation is there is plenty of time to run the ball and balance out the play calling...taterskins keep handing it to us. Here we go! Another 3 and out...
oh DeSean Jackson...you were so close
this is torture
Well, there goes the field position flip. :boom
What the farg is that terrible play call to LJ Smith in the flat? It's not gonna farging work you farging retards.
GAME OVER. I know said that like 3 times already but really now GAME OVER.
No fire whatsoever.
Pass. Pass. Pass. Punt.
Pass. Pass. Pass. Punt.
Birds Racists

god damn it, right when you start getting your hopes up for this team. typical eagles history just keeps repeating itself...
A RUN!
hahaha A RUN...meanwhile no urgency....tick tick tick
So now Reid decides to run...with less than 3 min left and only 1 timeout.
BRILLIANT.
Oh nice and Westbrook is hurt now. 2 min left 1 timeout and about 80 yds to go to TIE the taterskins of all teams.
How blind and fargign stubborn do you have to be to come out and call the game that Reid/Morningwood have called?
You get a great look at what balance does for you the last three weeks...then you come out against the taterskins in the biggest game of the season so far and run FIFTEEN fargING TIMES?!
Lurie...either force him to change his philosophy or get him the farg out of here. No one's winning a super bowl with that playcalling.
The team is no built to pass. the quarterback can't perform without a balanced offense. the receivers SUCK. THEY SUCK.
DESEAN...ugh that was 6 points
Lets just stay IN BOUNDS LJ....fargin numbnuts

Merry f'ing Christmas
So they need a win and a TB loss to the Raiders to get in at this point.
haha.
Again only had 1 timeout left to use. LJ decides to not run out of bounds and stop the clock. Reggie Brown decides to run his route just 1 yd short of the endzone.
I hope the reporters rip him a new one at the press conference for not running the ball more.

OR

Awful playcalling, even worse execution, but thanks to the defense holding the skins to 10, Andy gets to keep his job next year. Ha!
I don't know about you guys, but I am so glad they always burn those timeouts to prevent a delay of game in meaningless situations early in each half instead of saving all three timeouts for the end of the game.

They don't even bother going into the hurryup until the last 4 plays or so.
Seriously, though. Deep down, when you found out Tampa lost today, you knew the setup was too perfect to not be completely screwed up. Even before then, you knew Andy would be tempted to spit crumbs all over the playsheet.
Have the riots started on South Street yet?
If the fans aren't burning Reid in effigy, then they aren't living up to their reputation....
DING Reid is done!
DING Reid is done!
DING Reid is done!
(if only....)
Phillies are still world farging champions.
I have always thought you go into the hurry up with about 6 min left if you are down by 7.
Eagles? Sometime after the 2 min warning is fine for them.
WTF was LJ thinking staying in bounds? If only Desean holds on to that ball for the TD. I HATE THIS TEAM but more than anything in the world I hate Reid.
Its almost like with SD winning they are thought to themselves oh crap we are and the taterskins suck so we gonna win easy.
Baseball is still worthless.
Eat me you miserable fargs.
I've been using that shtein as comfort for every loss this year and I will not let you take that way from me.

If AR and the coaching staff is too stupid to realize that just by running the same balanced playcalling that you ran the last the last three weeks would've been more than enough to beat the taterskins, then I really don't want to see us get "one-and-dunned" in the playoffs. The self-proclaimed worst coach in the NFL just swept our sorry asses.
At least Munson is backing a winner. Have fun sitting at home watching other teams playing while you continue to ignore a true champion and wish the Eagles could have that opportunity.
Keep boasting about the Phils Munson, I love it.
Oh yeah in case ppl forgot there was also that terrible play earlier in the redzone where LJ whiffs on the block and Westbrook is tackled.
On that 3rd and 3 they needed to have McNabb just run it in.

You've now described every run and every short pass not caught by LJ.
Anything having to do with blowing belongs right here in the Eagles Talk section.
On that 3rd and 3 on like the 5 yd line they needed to run the shovel pass. THAT CRAP ALWAYS WORKS.
So many missed opportunities.
Asante dropping the INT. Mikell dropping the INT which would have at least saved 3 pts. Drops by Desean. Westbrook trying to cut outside and not picking up a first. LJ....he probably single handily lost them the game with boneheaded plays.
Who else thought that they should have gone for it with about 2 min left in the first half where the refs reversed the call on the field? It was a half a yd and they could have had McNabb QB sneak it in, pick up the first, and let the clock run down to 2 min.
Westbrook looked about 70% today
No one wants that last wild card slot, it's like a hot potato. Tampa Bay, Dallas, Philadelphia, and Chicago are still eligible.
Who gives a shtein about getting this team in the playoffs though. Any enjoyment from next week (if there is any enjoyment next week) will strictly be about farging up the Cowboys.

Here's to hoping one of those first round picks is spent on John Grisshim or whatever the farg his name is. I'd go as far as saying this team needs a big threat TE (that can block) more then it needs a WR.

Here's to hoping one of those first round picks is spent on John Grisshim or whatever the farg his name is.
Why the farg would they draft a novelist?
He'd be a great book end.
I know its impossible for Reggie to do but why could he not have had his patented drops on that last play?
It would have been 3rd down and 10 with about 5 seconds left. The mofo decides to catch that.

Its like the receivers all got together, farged some dogs, took some pictures, and accidentally mailed them to the mob. That's the only explanation I can think of for their collective dickery.

So many farg ups today.

Can we all agree now that a balanced offense works and pass happy doesn't? Benching McNabb DID NOTHING. Its all about the run game its so simple it makes me sick

You've got to have as many runs as punts. Otherwise, you get all out of whack and accidentally put points on the board.
I don't even know what to say, guys.
Everything we've come to loathe about Reid was on display tonight. Wouldn't run the ball, incredibly idiotic play-calling, horrible clock management... the whole bag of horrors.
Thank God for the Phillies.

12 passing plays to 9 running plays in the first half. The run was completely abandoned when the Eagles entered desperation mode and it become obvious that nothing offense-wise could be established (either run or pass) and only a big play could help them score. The more balanced attack in the first half yielded zero points.
Still, how many times do we need to see McNabb throw a very low 8-yard pass down the middle? If they wanted to be pass wacky they should have tried the deep ball more.

you can look at those stats and maybe say it was balanced, but WHEN they called the run was in question. They never went 3 runs and out...they never even tried to establish the run, regardless of that first half. It was the worst 1st half all season

They love to run on 2nd and 10s. Oh and a good running play can never be followed up by another running play. Tonight they also reverted back to those silly play actions when all they were doing were passing every down.
And when did they decided to run in the 2nd half? 1 time out left with about 3 min on the clock and 80 yds to go for the TD. :boom

To the point! That is exactly what I was saying all afternoon at the bar while watching this shtein.
Starting to make a lot more sense why Jackson fell to the second round. That dropped TD was probably one of the best passes of DMac's career.
This team is shtein. Now we get to sit around and wait and ponder how they'll farg up the two first round draft choices.
How many drops, eight?? Two real big ones by the pimp.
I honestly think Reid would pass the ball 35-40 times a game if he had Jim Brown in the backfield. Still, when they tried to run in the first half, Bwest looked terrible. He looked like he was playing at around 50%. When Hill ran him down on that 47 yard pass play you could really see it. He couldn't cut, and no explosive first couple steps like we are used to seeing.
McNabb looked horrible. It was like every pass was at the receivers ankles. The whole offense sucked balls. Mad me sick to watch. Awful. Just friggen' awful.
So much for winning out. Now I owe Havas.

Honestly McNabb makes those terrible throws (3-5 in a game) even when the offense is clicking and they are scoring.
The difference tonight was no run game (again) and those huge drops by Desean.
I'm just disgusted at this point. I knew this was going to happen so to act surprised or even pissed off would be dishonest on my part. The fat farg needs to be fired and the entire franchise needs a reboot. It's just that simple.

The truth is that 1 min before each game I know this crap. I know all week and right up to game time but when the game starts I lose myself into the game and start believing/hoping only to be slapped back into reality after the game.
As bad as they played, and as bad as the plays were called, they still managed to lose because of clock management. Ho ho ho.

How the hell did the Eagles ever enter desperation mode? At worst they were only ever down by one score all game? When your best player is a running back you hand the ball off to him more than 12 farging times. Oh and way to go Reggie for positioning himself on the one-foot line for the last catch. The prick. Getting swept by the Skins is an absolute disgrace and to score three farging points in a must-win game when results went so well for the last two weeks is the final straw. Bye bye fat mor(m)on.
Lurie cares a lot about winning, and I actually think he gets jealous when other teams do well, which also ties in. Which is why I think changes will be made this year. I can't even imagine how jealous he is of all the other playoff teams.
QuoteHad the Eagles (8-6-1) won, they would have moved ahead of Dallas and Tampa Bay (both 9-6) and into the final NFC wild-card spot with one game to play. Now even a victory at home in next week's finale against Dallas won't guarantee a berth.
"The implications of this game were enormous for this team," Brown said. "And unfortunately we didn't get it done in the end. It's something that's heavy on your chest."
The taterskins know that feeling well. It broadsided them last week in a loss to woeful Cincinnati, an embarrassment that prompted first-year coach Jim Zorn to say he felt like "the worst coach in America." His subsequent two days of soul searching didn't do much to help his struggling offense , Washington scored only one touchdown for the fourth straight week , but he got the much-needed win that avoids a losing season.
"I can say I don't feel like the worst coach in America today," Zorn said.

And remember of those 12 carries to Westbrook 2 of them were on that bizzare sequence at the end of the half where the Eagles ran the ball seemingly to run out the clock and go into halftime but then called a timeout and ran it again to finish the half.
Its like Reid was padding the #s to make the ratio seem better.

to sum it up, the continuation of the first series in the second half went something like reverse (reggie brown penalty), pass, run, fumble. typical.

^^^ This post wins. ^^^
The offense couldn't do much of anything. In the passing game, McNabb was inaccurate, and throwing into relatively high wind at receivers who had difficulty getting open and even more difficulty holding onto the ball. In the running game (the few times it was used), an obviously less than 100% Westbrook was not doing much against a taterskin defense with a minimum of 8 men in the box on almost every down. Add onto that really zesty field position and brutal third downs throughout the game and you get what we had.
The team has had a few games like this already this year. Coaching and execution were both piss poor.
If only this team had other running backs on the roster, maybe Reid would have called more runs. I can't believe he went into the season with just Westbrook on the roster.
Westbrook being hurt is a stupid reason to abandon the run. He's never 100% after the first play of the season.
I believe Buck had ONE WHOLE CARRY.

Rocca musta Goa!
the worst thing that could have ever happened was for tampa to have won in the early game...the eagles are a bunch of gutless losers and tampa losing that game just made the pressure that much more intense on the team
forgot to say, the playcalling was great too.
for example, on the play that djax almost got killed, 2 & 7, reid has 3 wr's split to the left, all of them ran 20 yard routes. it was probably the same example of zesty playcalling and three and outs and pass pass pass punt throughout the entire game. 7 yards to go, have each wr run 20 yard routes. all of them straight routes too. on the next play, reid calls a 7 yard route for reggie brown and, low and behold, first down.
it's so funny to watch this team. when i'm watching it with other people, and it's like 2 & 5 or 3rd and 3, i'll say, watch all the wr's, they'll all go right off the screen. so you have 3-5 yards to go, and all of them are told to run 20 yard routes.
you fat farging genius. reggie brown is probably on his way out, he should have called reid a "genius", that would have been awesome.
just got finished watching the game again...the eagles passed on 29 of their last 30 plays of the game and the one run was a shotgun draw to westbrook...its just ludicrous....i mean no one would believe you if you told them a team did that

And that last run was when they had about 3 min left and 1 timeout.
:-D
establishing a run game means you will have runs of no gain or under 5 yards. just because when they decided to run and only got 2 yards, doesn't mean its not working. the whole point is to keep at it until you break something. when they decided to run, it was always in bad or typical situations and they were consistently in 3rd and long. at least strive to get 3rd and short if your going to always throw short.

QuotePhil Sheridan: Beat taterskins? Reid passes
By Phil Sheridan
Inquirer Sports Columnist
LANDOVER, Md. - Last week, Washington's Jim Zorn said he felt like "the worst coach in America" after his team lost to the Cincinnati Bengals. Yesterday, Zorn beat Andy Reid, completing a sweep of the two-game series with the Eagles. Does that make Reid the worst coach in America? Of course not. He's the winningest coach in Eagles history. You can't just discount that. To pin this loss on Reid, you'd have to take a close look at how this 10-3 abomination came to pass.
And pass and pass and pass and pass.
The focus will be on the final 12 seconds, that final oh-so-close completion to Reggie Brown. But it should be on the preceding 59 minutes, 48 seconds, when Reid's offense was bullied and intimidated into its most embarrassing performance in a season full of contenders for that honor.
The Eagles started a three-game winning streak by running the ball more than Reid prefers, taking pressure off the slumping Donovan McNabb and giving his offensive line a chance to dictate the action for a change.
Now with a playoff berth there for the taking, Reid got back to his familiar balanced approach: He called passes as well as throws.
This topic has become as tiresome to write about as it is to watch on Sundays. It's half-tempting to cut-and-paste from the dozens of previous columns addressing the same point. But this game deserves special attention, because of the stakes and because of the sheer bullheadedness exhibited by Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg.
Consider these numbers: The Eagles called a total of 18 running plays and 29 passes compared to 44 runs and 31 throws by Washington. As a result, Washington dominated the game's time of possession, holding the ball 34 minutes, 45 seconds to the Eagles' 25:15. Washington had more first downs (22 to 14) and much better third-down success (11 of 19, to 5 for 12 for the Eagles).
Shocking? What if I told you those were the numbers from Washington's 23-17 victory over the Eagles in Philadelphia on Oct. 5?
Having lost to Washington 11 weeks ago by refusing to run the ball and control the line of scrimmage, Reid quite logically and rationally came into the rematch refusing to run the ball and control the line of scrimmage. It must have come as a huge shock to Reid and his offensive staff that the same result occurred.
Take away the two junk runs at the end of the first half and the Eagles called just 12 runs while attempting 48 passes (not counting two McNabb spikes). That's an 80/20 split, if you're interested in percentages. That's just stupid, if you're interested in adjective.
"Coach, I'm assuming he saw something that dictated we should pass the ball," running back Brian Westbrook said.
No doubt. The question is whether that something was in the videotape of Washington's defense or inside the coach's head. Washington lost each of its previous three games. The Giants ran the ball 35 times and won. Baltimore ran it 39 times and won. Cincinnati ran it 33 times and won.
The Eagles ran it 14 times - we'll throw in the two time-killers in the second quarter just to be charitable - and scored a total of 3 points and lost.
Fred Smoot, whose heads-up play kept Reggie Brown from scoring the tying touchdown as time ran out, was grateful. He looks over and sees Westbrook and that big offensive line and wonders why the Eagles don't run the ball more.
"To me, it shocks me," Smoot said. "Especially having a guy like 36 back there. My goodness. If I was a coach, I wouldn't have a game where he didn't touch the ball 25 times. I make sure I put the ball in his hands."
The game was well within the Eagles' reach throughout the fourth quarter. They had four possessions before the one that ended on the 1-inch line. Yes, they had bad field position each time. That's partly due to Washington punter Ryan Plackemeier, but it's also due to the Eagles' abject failure to move the ball enough to give themselves some space.
All four possessions: three pass plays and a punt.
"That's them," Smoot said. "When they're backed up, they throw their way out."
Smoot, his defensive teammates, and coordinator Greg Blache all knew that. They all knew they didn't have to bother defending against the run. Blache responded with a contained pass rush and dropped seven players into coverage.
It was that easy to smother Reid's offense and, in turn, the Eagles' progress toward a playoff berth.
Worst of all, it was that easy because Reid made it that easy. He repeated the mistakes that lost one game against Washington and gave this must-win game away. Reid managed to make the self-proclaimed "worst coach in America" the second-worst coach on the field.
Like I said before... it's just cruel at this point that we have to put up with this shtein.
Can we get Smoot for a head coach?
How 'bout Riggo'??
Sigh, hasn't anyone ever told Reid that the passing game puts people in the seats, a running game (and solid D) wins championships?

Yes... Jeffrey Lurie... and that's exactly why Andy's getting away with doing what he's doing.
I don't think the style of football exhibited on Sunday would put anyone in seats.
It would put the opponent's fans in Linc seats every week. What does Lurie care as long as the tickets sell?

I should have specified a WORKING passing attack...this would be hilarious if it was somebody else team going through this
there are 4 police in full uni standing by danny boys luxury box. i had the great honor of sitting a few rows in front of it. amazing seats.
the other time i had kickass seats was in the first row of the upper level to the linc 50 yard line. that was for the mcnabb injury game in 2006 against the titans.
so two of the worst regular seasons games in recent memory i had great seats to. go jews with 12 inch cocks.
