A Decade of Andy Reid

[PhillyPhreak54]

He waited a little too long to get zesty with them.

He should have lit into their asses awhile ago. They have played too many uninspired games, made too many mental errors and have been plain stupid at times.

[Father Demon]

For the first time this week, Reid was asked if he has given any consideration to benching McNabb and going with second-year man Kevin Kolb, who was the Eagles' top pick in the '07 draft.

"No," he said. "That's not what I'm doing right now. Donovan will continue to be the quarterback. Donovan, for every throw that he didn't make there, he'll get himself back. He'll continue to fire and get whatever is wrong straightened out and get it right."

While I certainly don't condone benching McNabb for Kolb, it sounds so arrogant to say "McNabb is as good as he ever was" in the face of things.  What he should be saying is "We need better tools for McNabb to work with."

I want McNabb to continue throwing the ball for the next 2-3 years, but I want him to do it without Reid at the helm, and with bona fide Number One receivers on his team.

i dont know whats funnier reid getting "angry" or the players actually listening to him....i can see him going off in the locker room then 30 seconds after the meeting the entire team busting out in laughter

"The thing about it is that now other people are saying they didn't know it either," McNabb said. "Am I wrong for that? No. Should I have known the rule? There are a lot of coaches, officials, players that don't know.

Geez, what a friggen' dumbass. A lot of officials that don't know that rule?? If they didn't, they would probably be fired. He needs to just STFU. This is a classic case of someone who should just not say anything because when he opens his mouth he proves to everyone how stupid he is.

I was watching either NFL Live, DNL, or Monday Night Live and one of the reporters that came on said he talked to an undisclosed Eagles player who went and asked one of the side judges "Is this it? We get another Overtime right?" and the side judge said "Yeah you get another chance at it."

I don't believe it.

[Rome]

Parents should have "don't get caught doing drugs" talks with their retarded offspring.

Since the 2000 season, the Eagles are 52-10 in games in which they have more rushing attempts than their opponents. They are 35-39-1 when they have fewer rushes. Games in which they have 30 or more rushing attempts, they are 37-5. Games in which they have 20 rushes or fewer, they are 9-23-1. This season, they are 5-0 in games when they have more rushing attempts than their opponent. They are 1-5-1 when they don't.

The problem with football stats is that you can't tell what is the cause and what is the effect - What is the run percentage when they are leading vs. when they are behind?

Not true. That sample size is more than big enough to see what is what. 52-10 when out-rushing opponents and 37-5 when rushing more than 30 times doesn't leave a lot of room for interpretation.

[Feva]

Besides that... it's over a period of 9 years.  I'd say that's more than enough time to encompass pretty much every scenario there is pertaining to when AR ran the ball.

[Cerevant]

You guys are missing the point: did the Eagles win because AR was running the ball, or does Andy only run more when it looks like he is going to win the game?  Those stats support either possibility.  Anyone who watches the Eagles knows that the passing game gets more persistent and more desperate the further behind they are.

[rjs246]

No, I got the point. I'm saying that your point is overruled by the large sample size. But whatever, nerd. As far as I'm concerned those stats speak for themselves.

[ice grillin you]

lol at a canadian telling people they miss a point about pro football

EVERY team passes more the more they fall behind

NOT EVERY team has stats as lopsided as the eagles


everyone knows that you have to run the ball to win in the nfl and you definitely have to run the ball more than andy reid does...even people in maine know this
