Hey Andy Defenders....

[rjs246]

And by the way, I have no illusions about Andy Reid going anywhere. What I'm curious about is what it will finally take for him to be cut loose...

[Quasimoto]

Not if BYU comes calling.  Unfortunately they're decent right now.  shtein.

[Eaglez]

Even if Andy's plan had 'worked', the Eagles, best case scenario, would have gotten the ball back with probably 40 seconds tops and no TO's to pick up 50 yards for FG range? What a loser.

[DH]

I would assume 3 losses in NFCCG's, a loss in the Super Bowl, multiple bad first round picks (2nd and 3rd's too), an inability to coach in a big game, an inability to adjust a gameplan and a lack of overall leaderhip would probably get a coached axed.

Maybe if Andy filled all that criteria, we'd have a new coach.

[SD_Eagle5]

So does this bring Andy Reid any closer to being fired?

No way, Lurie would never fire Reid, they'd pull a Bobby Clarke/Ed Snider "I just don't want to do this anymore"

- I threw a chair across the room when he elected to punt on 4th and 15
- Westbrook has never been denied going over the pile...ever. So with 3rd and 1 you throw it to Tapeh - brilliant Andy you fat farging moron
- We get a gift of a fumble and they can't convert 1 farging 1st down.
Andy's not some rookie Coach who is learning the game, he's been a HC for almost a decade, which is far longer than %75 of the coaches in the league. How you can keep making these boneheaded decisions is beyond me. One of his assistants should have veto power for when he's about to do something stupid.
Considine has no business being on a football field, I've never seen a guy who was as poor of a tackler as he is.
Trotter = done
D'hani - never liked him = done
Walker - they ran McCallister right at him the entire game. At least take the lineman out on a running play, don't get stood up and be useless.

Cowher...maybe. But don't forget that at one time Cowher was the Andy Reid of Pittsburgh. If the Rooney's weren't so loyal he might have been fired like many want Andy gone. He's a guy who loves power running and who screams and likes to stuff photos in refs pockets (anyone remember that?) but is he really any different than Andy when it comes to wins and losses. He got his SB win in his 2nd try and in his 14th year with the team.

Pittsburgh fans wanted his head last year before they went on that run and won the SB. He was 2-4 in AFCCG's.

Bill Cowher's W-L record:

1992: 11-5 ; 0-1 in playoffs
1993: 9-7 ; 0-1 in playoffs
1994: 12-4 ; 1-1 in playoffs
1995: 11-5 ; 2-1 in playoffs (lost SB)
1996: 10-6 ; 1-1 in playoffs
1997: 11-5 ; 1-1 in playoffs
1998: 7-9
1999: 6-10
2000: 9-7
2001: 13-3 ; 1-1 in playoffs
2002: 10-5-1 ; 1-1 playoffs
2003: 6-10
2004: 15-1 ; 1-1 playoffs
2005: 11-5 ; 4-0 playoffs (won SB)
2006: 8-8
TOTAL: 149 - 90 - 1 (161 - 99 - 1 including playoffs)

Andy Reid's W-L record:

1999: 5-11
2000: 11-5 ; 1-1 playoffs
2001: 11-5 ; 2-1 playoffs
2002: 12-4 ; 1-1 playoffs
2003: 12-4 ; 1-1 playoffs
2004: 13-3 ; 2-1 playoffs (lost SB)
2005: 6-10
2006: 10-6 ; 1-1 playoffs
TOTAL: 80-48 (88 - 54 including playoffs)

[DH]

True, I was just throwing the idea out there. More so for the fire he would light under that team...especially the D.

Plus you could make a case that the Eagles teams that lost those NFCCG's were better than any of those Steeler teams Cowher had.

In sum Cowher>>>Fat man

[rjs246]

I don't want Cowher because he's won a superbowl, I want him because he runs the ball and always has stingy defenses.

That's the kind of football team I want. Not this fancy ass, quick-strike, all or nothing horseshtein.

[Eaglez]

I don't think Cowher is the answer. I just am still reeling from that playcall. Andy gave up on the season with that punt. It was equivalent to ordering Garcia to take a knee on 4th and 15.

You don't try and predict the improbable. You are on offense, with a chance to convert.

Even if the Eagles didn't convert on 4th and 15 the best chance the Eagles would have had would be to go for the strip anyways. No way, based on the way the run D played all game, were they going to deny the Saints a first down with a chance to seal the game.

I'm not saying you're right or wrong. But remember when andy ran the dink and dunk and we all clamored for a big play offense? Let's just hope that he continues to run the ball next year like he did this year at the end. That means letting Marty do his thing and Andy not stepping in.

[rjs246]

I don't want dink and dunk. I don't want big play. I want smashmouth. On both sides of the ball.

[PhillyGirl]

That means letting Marty do his thing and Andy not stepping in.

Kind of like last night, eh? 

[ice grillin you]

Cowher...maybe. But don't forget that at one time Cowher was the Andy Reid of Pittsburgh

i hate when people say this

cowher was reid only on paper...people dont hate reid cause he hasnt won a superbowl people hate reid because HE's the reason he hasnt won a superbowl...

cowher wasnt perfect his whole career but cowhers playoff losses werent a direct result of his coaching...he was always a good coach who just didnt win the big one...reid on the other hand has shown himself to be incompetant...he single handedly has lost numerous games on his own...both playoffs and reg season...theres no comparison between the two

[ice grillin you]

Kind of like last night, eh?

ha

exactly

reid is the coach of this team and dont anyone forget that

[PhillyGirl]

Cowher had Corn Puffs as his starting QB for years until they finally got Rothlesshelmet.

Can't fault him for that.
