1. Andy Reid
Good coach, but not as good as he thinks he is. Will never win a Super Bowl as a head coach.
2. Michael Vick
Exciting player, but dumb as a brick. Has herpes and electrocuted dogs.
3. DeSean Jackson
Absolutely scintillating at times. Also infuriatingly invisible at others. Might not be on the team past 2012 anyway.
4. Jeremy Maclin
CHOKE
5. Juan CastiLOLOLLo
SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM
6. Hoyda boy defense
7. Stupid midnight green crap, still doesn't feel right
8. Banner/Roseman
Aren't nerds supposed to make smart decisions?
There are plenty more. Go ahead.
The uniforms
Sick of the players they bring in because they fit their 'system'.
Sick of them drafting players who are less talented than other players because said players fit their zesty 'system'
Sick of their drafts. The last two were especially bad.
Sick of them trying to use trick plays to outsmart defenses
Sick of both sides of the ball in any redzone situation
Sick of Asante Samuel
Sick of the interior of the O-line
I'm sick of them not winning a Super Bowl. If they won the Super Bowl, I wouldn't give a shtein about any of that other stuff.
Their mushiness affected Cliff Lee.
Well, I'll never ever be sick of being an Eagles fan per se, but currently I have built up a year's worth of disgust of this current Eagles roster in only four fargin weeks. I know I'm already echoing a lot of the sentiments on CF but I need an outlet, so here goes, 33 reasons why this current roster can get the bozack...
Michael Vick-I Just feel that he is still basically the same dumbass player that he was in Atlanta, but just a little bit better... he just happened to go on a lucky streak last year and duped us all into thinking he was the new face of the franchise
Vince Young-Still wondering if he even has a clue....
Ronnie Brown-That back lateral play shtein has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen since I started watching football in 1976. It's on par with McNabb saying he didn't know NFL games could end in a tie
Dion Lewis-Lorenzo Booker 2.0.... Great in the pre-season, sucks in the regular season
DeSean Jackson-I know it's bad when I don't feel the same excitement when he touches the ball anymore. It's even more farged up when I breath a sigh of relief when he catches the ball. It's obvious the contract situation got his head
Jeremy Maclin-Great player, but incredibly non-clutch! 2 major fargups and we're only four games into the season! Damn!
Steve Smith-I just don't trust this bitch ass farger on this team and I never will
Brent Celek-Never seen a TE with so much potential fall out of sight... has to be coaching or being around Andy Reid
Kyle DeVan-This guy sucks so bad I wonder if he is an upgrade over the firefighter
Winston Justice-This guy is the McNabb of Offensive Linemen. He can kick ass on easy assignments, but gets rocked when a stud DE comes to town
Jason Kelce-How this guy is better than Jamaal is fargin beyond me. The only thing he can do is pull. When he has to protect he gets knocked into another realm every fargin time
Evan Mathis-Must be nice to suck as bad as he does and know he's the 3rd best OL the Eagles have
Danny Watkins-Andy Reid top draft pick, I have nothing to contribute....
Trevor Laws-Teases me too much with flashes of what he could do but never consistently does
Jamar Chaney-I was happy when I heard that he would take over the MIKE from the OLB, but now I'm witness to his suckiness at not one, but two linebacker positions
Moise Fokou-His personal celebrations after making 1-3 plays a game just doesn't make up for the amount of time that I see him missing tackles and taking stupid ass angles to get to ballcarriers
Casey Matthews –Mannnnnnn, farg Fabio. He needs to be outside the Linc selling programs
Nate Allen-Obviously not 100% and is by far one of the biggest disappointments on this team
Nnamdi Asomugha-I have yet to see anything about this so-called shutdown CB. He ain't shown me shtein. From what I've seen Patterson or Hobbs is better than he is. 4 games in and he's a Free Agent Bust. The Ryan boys are laughing their asses off
Kurt Coleman-I honestly thought he was going to be a great safety and team leader on this D. It's hard for the other guys on the team to look at him as a leader when he sucks so bad. Sometimes I wonder how many passes have been thrown 2 inches over his head for TD's...
Jarrad Page-Next to Fabio, he is the biggest liability on the defense. This guy sucks so bad it ain't even funny. Even Blaine Bishop watches this idiot and laughs
Asante Samuel-This farger needs to be benched ala McNabb. He's a straight up liability now. His cocky arrogant attitude translates to his play when he gives 7-10 yd cushions on 3rd and 3 plays because he's so scared of getting beat. And the funny thing is that he still gets beat regardless
Alex Henery-I am so convinced that he ain't ready for this shtein. Stupid move to let Akers roll for this piss-stain
Victor Abiamiri-How does this guy stay on this team? Definition of a bust.
Chairman/CEO – Jeffrey Lurie-This guy's personal commitment for this team has to be questioned for him to allow this shtein to carry on week after week and year after year. He's no better than the guy in France
President – Joe Banner-Thanks for saving the franchise so much cap space, icehole.
General Manager – Howie Roseman-The story of his life needs to be made into a movie. "A young brash fantasy football champ becomes the general manager of an NFL team, starring Adam Sandler." Hell, now that I think about it, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider would probably turn down the role. Howie will never be 5% of the man Tom Modrak was
Head Coach/Executive Vice President of Football Operations – Andy Reid-The Philadelphia Eagles #1 problem. Get rid of this fat walrus farger and most of these problems will instantly vanish.
Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator – Marty Mornhinweg-Was it just me, or did anyone else think that simply hiring one of the Detroit Lions' worst coaches just for the farg of it and giving him an important spot on the coaching staff was an extremely bad idea? The plays this idiot comes up with baffles me more and more every week. This muthafarger should be second in line to go.
Quarterbacks Coach – Doug Pederson-How can a guy who sucked so bad as a NFL QB team anybody anything? Definitely a prototypical Andy Reid buttsniffer, just like Morningweg
Offensive Line Coach – Howard Mudd-This old bastich needs to go back to the retirement home and take his small quick OL's with him
Defensive Coordinator – Juan Castillo-This is what happens when an okay OL coach becomes an over-his-head defensive coordinator because he's the Hispanic amigo of the coach. Worst personnel change in the history of the NFL. If Reid doesn't get canned after this year for just that shtein alone, then it's obvious the coaching staff is sucking some major dong after practice
Linebackers Coach – Mike Caldwell-I know he's the LB coach, but damn... the way these fools are playing makes you wonder if he is even part of the Eagles organization. I always felt he was somewhat decent in the 90's but if he was a real coach he should be kicking major ass when they get back to the sideline for the amount of dumb shtein these linebackers do
Like others have said in other threads, getting rid of Andy Reid won't get rid of the problems. They'll bring in a coach that's even worse than he is, unless they get lucky and that former positional player coach turns out to be good. Or worse yet, when Reid "retires", they promote from within. We're going to have to wait for an impossibly lucky draft streak, or Banner to retire before things get better
Everything the General said.
3rd and 1.
They suck ass
The yearly insistence that square pegs fit round holes. Building a line out of run blockers and making them pass protect 50 times a game. Drafting an inaccurate QB for an accuracy-based offense. Drafting small RBs and making them pass protect 20 or more times a game. Drafting linebackers to put at DE. Drafting DEs to put at DT.
The trick plays that are, on average, less successful than standard plays. The long pass on 3rd and short. The running plays that look designed to end five yards in the backfield. The plays they think are Wildcat plays.
The players. From the entire roster, the only three players I actually like are Manneans, McCoy and Avant. I have a hard time believing anyone else will still be on the roster in two or three years.
The coaches. I like Castillo, but there certainly seems to be a good reason why he hasn't had an offer for a promotion or lateral move in sixteen years. There's a reason Morningwood hasn't gotten another head coaching job.
The front office. Dawkins was the last truly great player that will play the majority of his career with this team. Jackson, Maclin, McCoy? They'll all be gone in their prime.
By the same token, all of the reasons posted above and those not mentioned are EXACTLY the reasons we are Eagles fans and will be until our deaths.
Misery loves company and is why Eagles fans feel they have a common bond and we also have a "if I'm going down, I'm taking everyone with me" mentality, which is why we don't steer our offspring in a better course.
Face it, we're all farged and there was no going back once we stepped into this quicksand known as the Eagles wagon.
So, I love the eagles because very few things in life provide the complete emotional ups-and-downs following this team does. Similarly, having an incurable STD, being on the run and being hunted by CIA drones, and gambling also provide some of the same life stimulus.
If you ain't loving the Eagles, you ain't living life!

Honestly, I've been a birds fan since 1971 and for the life of me can't recall a play that remotely comes close to what Ronnie Brown did. Up until today the Tommy Hutton botched hold on the chip shot field goal attempt against Dallas on MNF in 1997 was the worst play I'd ever seen. That wasn't stupidity that was just a fluke. What Ronnie Brown did was last seen on a playground in sixth grade.
Constant underachievement and bad game day coaching.
Bad thing is I broke down yesterday and was on my phone with directv for 45 min talking them into giving me the ticket. Wasn't worth the minutes I burned up on my phone.
Above all else this year, I hate Vince farging Young for naming this mismatched collection of all stars and bums the "dream team."

thanks icehole, I love having it thrown in my face as though I said it
i wouldnt have had a problem with it if someone who actually plays had said it
you might not even be second string so you probably should not be talking at all much less making proclamations like that

the greatest part is he included himself when he coined the term. he needs to be taken out back and shot - along with about 47 other players and coaches now.
I think it's beyond fascinating that Andy Reid hasn't won shtein and he is still that ignorant in his answers to the media. He acts and feels like he owes nobody nothing, like fans aren't paying thousands of dollars to attend games and watch that crap on the field.
You mean to tell me Lurie cant call him in the office and say, "Listen Andy lets try and be just a little bit more thorough in your answers to at least appease the fans of this team. I know youre accustomed to dealing with these guys in your own way and it has "worked" in years past, but things are a little different now. Expectations of this team and most importantly us are at its highest ever, we paid a lot of money to get the players you wanted, and you're on a very bad 3 game skid. Show that you at least care, what you might to do to change your approach, and enough with the years past scripted answers."
Can't be that professional? farging Hoydas.
I, for one, and god damn farging tired of hearing him blab on and on about how he has to do a better of putting his players in the right posit....blah blah blah.
How about putting your coaches in the right positions to succeed you fat, fat icehole?? Like an OL coach, coaching the OL. And a DC being a DC! Genius!
The Castillo thing is 10000% what sticks in my craw the most now, and will until he is fired and sent back to A&M-Kingsville. Hopefully today.
the disheartening thing about the defense is that they can put people in the right positions all they want and they still are going to get bullied and trucked all over the field because 1) they are small and 2) they suck
what good is it to put someone in a position to succeed if even if they are there they cant make a play
There are a lot of things that the eagles tire me out on.. but why do people care what is said during press conferences? You know what the answers are going to be... people are like beaten dogs.
its not just what he says a lot of the time...its how he says it...being an ahole to people who are doing nothing more than their job is unbecoming...telling reporters not to ask certain questions or telling guys that completely reasonable questions are stupid is not a way to go about business and is not going to endear yourself to the fanbase
not answering questions and saying the same things over and over is merely annoying....but being a complete dick to the media and fans after horrible losses is infuriating...bill belichek can get away with it.....what the farg has andy reid ever won to justify how he treats people
everyday i wake up and reid is still the coach i want to kill a kitten.
being a complete dick to the media and fans after horrible losses is infuriating...what the farg has andy reid ever won to justify how he treats people
^ bingo
David Akers should have put that on a sign instead of that Hoyda bullshtein thank you.
Funny thing about this whine fest is that we do it almost every year, where after a game or two we as fans are calling for Reids job then he somehow turns things around and they finish 12-4, 11-5 or some shtein.
Big difference now is everything is so farging disorganized from the new coaches to new/untalented players that Andy can't and wont hold onto the wheel. I really think his personnel decisions this time will cost him his job. When you have an "all in" mentality from the guys above you better believe they're sending a message to you as a coach.
This team is soft and it starts at the top. I can't imagine as a head coach going into a season without a leader on both sides of the ball. How do you put a team together without a few players who lead by example and speak it and demand it from their fellow teammates. I knew all this hype would come back to bite them in the ass and the idiot Vince Young calling it the dream team was a huge mistake. Vick getting his 100Mil contract and publicly saying its championship time. Sorry Mike, whatever world you live in doesn't exist. You need a coach, you need a better oline and you need to focus on one game at a time and don't put so much pressure on yourself to win these games. He needs to step up as a leader and demand his team mates give in what he gives in.
This defense on paper looks so amazing but the scheme and coaching I think are just not matching up. They look amazing one series and then the next just look like a peewee team. There are so many issues I can't think of them all but the lack of commitment to the linebacker position has been a huge mistake for years on this team. Then this year they do the wide 9 and have arguably the worst linebacker group in the Reid's tenure, its a head in palm moment week in and week out. The DB's, I don't even want to talk about the DB's. Huge disappointment so far. Its pretty bad when Page is the best looking guy and he's a nobody.
The offense just looks like they don't know what to do. One minute they are flying down the field, then once they get into the redzone its like they forget how to play football. Short yardage situations are the worst I have ever seen. McCoy is not being utilized enough. Vick is forcing too many throws this year. Jackson can't catch. Maclin fumbles. Celek doesn't exist. Avant rarely is seen. Brown also doesn't get the ball enough(even though after yesterday i wish he was dead). The only bright spot on offense this year has been the oline playing way better than I could imagine. Not great, but decent.
Coach needs to sit everyone down and tell them to stop believing the hype. They need to focus on each week and improve the fundamentals big time. Hell I'd be more than willing to ship one of those high dollar DB's or WR's to get one real linebacker back there. I guess the fact of the matter is, nothing will change and this is Reid's head that has to roll and if this is what it takes then let the ship sink. I am more than done w Andy Reid.
andy and missanelli going at it in the presser
details please
In addition to everyone else's points, I was sitting at the game yesterday wondering why do I even watch this team anymore? I will always be a fan - there is no question in that, but I have finally come to the conclusion that I just do not like the style of football being played in Philadelphia.
I grew up watching the tail end of Vermeil's tenure, and I prefer smash-mouth offense and defense. I do not like the WCO, and while I understand that is the way the league is trending, the complete lack of balance on either side of the ball is nauseating to me.

he asked andy what are the red zone problems and andy said turnovers are one of them but i know you were listening when i said that before....missanelli said something like but you dont give us anything...and andy says "youll get what i give you" or soemthing to that effect having to do with what info he gets....then missanelli started going hard on the ronnie brown call....asking how a run pass option like that can just come out of nowhere...and asked how often do you practice it....and reid said if you ever showed up to practice youd know
so the eagles actually practice ronnie brown running into the line and then throwing the ball away ?
oooooooooohhhhh, that makes a big difference.

Reasons? Let's see, Can I start with 1971 and conclude with Run/Pass Option?
Quote from: Don Ho on October 03, 2011, 02:53:31 PM
Reasons? Let's see, Can I start with 1971 and conclude with Run/Pass Option?
What's crazy about that was that I used to be an asst coach on a midget pee-wee football team and during practice once, our 7 yr old qb handed the ball off to the 6 yr old RB, but it was kind of a botched exchange and by then the kids on the defense were all over him. The little guy gets scared, turns, and tries to flip the ball back to the qb, and of course it had disastrous results. I call the 6 yr old kid over to me and I ask him to tell me what he could do to make the play work the next time. The 6 yr old answered, "Well, I'm not gonna flip it back, but the next time I get the ball I will run it straight ahead and get as many yards as I can..." SMH, A freakin 6 yr old kid gets it, but a highly paid professional like Ronnie Brown and the rest of the coaching staff doesn't..... Seriously problems here, y'all....
The 6 year old gave a better explanation than Brown did.
I didnt think I could hate AR any more than I do right now, but that smugness he directed at Miss with the "if you came to practice" comment just sent me over the top.
Dickhead, I dont care who was at practice, when and for how long - that play sucked, it was a surprise to everyone, and a tremendous mistake which is one of the key reasons you lost. farg you Andy, for not answering a question from a guy who is paid to ask questions.
There are exactly two things I'm sick of as an Eagles fan.
1. Other Eagles fans. Get a grip on yourselves. Are you all brand new to watching this team? This team can be beaten by anyone because the braintrust running it tries to outsmart everyone at all times rather than just playing/coaching football. After all these years I seriously have no idea how you all can still get upset about games like this. Not only is Andy Reid still Andy Reid, but we all knew going into this season that the defense was a hot mess. The big name signings were fun, but they didn't address the team's needs up the middle.
2. Fans of other teams assuming that I'm a Philly homer who buys into Andy Reid's horseshtein and the Dream Team horseshtein and blindly assumes that the team will do well and follows up that assumption by trying to zing me when the team loses. Dipshtein, I knew that they were capable of losing this game. I knew it better than most because I know this team and have followed them with a disgusting amount of enthusiasm for a long goddamned time. There's nothing you can say to me about this team that I don't already know, so please go die in a car accident.
So in summary, I hate fans of my team and I hate fans of other teams. To the shock of no one.
You're not a people person? I'm shocked.
"You would know how clutch that goaline pass/run option is Mike if you came to just one of our practices. We fooled Casey Matthews and Kurt Coleman 6 times in a row Mike! 6 times!! It works.
Next question.

I actually am, generally. But sports, much like driving and politics, make ordinarily intelligent and interesting people into drooling window-lickers. It isn't going to keep me from enjoying football or doing my own version of the drooling-window-licking dance, but christ people are farging stupid when it comes to sports.
i got to watch the game simultaneously while cowboys fans started openly balling over their team choking to the lions
i was celebrating with the niner fans who were giddy school girls over alex smith quick slants

if after that eagle game you even knew dallas lost sunday much less cared then you arent an eagles fan
well i guess thats it, guys.
im kicked out.
Choke job there.
You lose to the Packers by 2 'makeable' FG's in the playoffs who obviously were the best team in the league and understandable you upgrade the secondary but to basically overhall everything (coaches,schemes) in a predictably short offseason makes no sense.

Hello, friend... Have you ever heard of wagering on sports?
when my team rips my heart out nothing else in the sports world matters....the fact that another team losing would in any small way make you feel better is foreign to me...even the skins losing to the rams wouldnt have made me feel better this week
It doesn't make me feel remotely better, but I was aware. Most notably because it's the only reason my "Eagles get farged sideways" ML parlay lost. Would have paid 20:1.
agree with Igy... turned off everything football related until lunch today when I had on Nfl radio in the car..had no idea of the late game scores
rips your heart out = losing nfc title game to giants
deserving what they get = sunday
im actually fine with how this is going. the only way to get rid of andy is to to go 2-14 and have this season become a disaster of epic, unbelievable proportions.
sure if they turn it around then great ill enjoy the ride. but 8-8 and losing to the saints vs. 2-14 and seeing reid go? is that even a debate.
i wish we all could care as little as you....some of cant watch a game like that then five minutes later watch the cowboys
+1 with the little guy.
Didn't watch any of it. Just noted the final score and its effect on my day's winnings.
