I feel this saying is so appropriate now....

Short fields are killing the D. As I have stated, this is the result of bad punting/poor kick coverage/poor to mediocre ST returns/the offense's lack of consistent production.

I see none of the Eagles and Lurie are cheap clowns responded to this.  Every couple of weeks for the past four to five years we here this bs about the Eagles being cheap because of their cap room, yet they have spent the most money on player salaries over the past five years than any team in the league.  In addition, they have spent a ton of money recently on coaches with Reids' new deal, JJ's new deal, John Harbaugh's new deal, Brad Childress' new deal, bringing in an assistant head coach like Marty Mornigheg cost money.  They one of the highest paid offensive, defensive and special teams coordinators in the league.  JJ was the highest paid coordinator in the league when he was signed.

But, hey, why let facts get in the way of a perfectly good delusion.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They only spent about $8 million more than the #2 team!  CHEAP, I say!  CHEAAAPPPPPP!!

[ice grillin you]

i would question the source...its not like its coming from the players association or the nfl finance office...usa today did it...

regardless its not how much money you spend but how you spend it...peep new england at number 26

Most of us would agree.  Some people think that cap room = cheap FO.  Those people are idiots.

[ice grillin you]

i dont think theres a team in the NFL that is cheap...you make good moves and you make bad moves...period

Not true.  There are cheap teams.  The new 49ers FO has been cheap.  The Bengals have been historically cheap, but are improving.  The Cardinals are cheap.  The Steelers are a little cheap.

The Steelers seem to draft incredibly well though, especially linebackers

the Steagles would be a helluva team in today's NFL

[General_Failure]

Otherwise, you're talking about blowing up the team completely and starting from scratch, which I think is not the best plan of attack at this point in time

no youre not...it would be akin to the dungy gruden switch

who's your Gruden?

We need to find a young coach with annoying mannerisms before he goes to the Saints next year. I say we look at special teams coaches, they're always goofy.

[methdeez]

Stop with the "way under the cap" crap already. SEriously.

Why? Do we get some kind of special bonus for being the team with the most unspent cap space?
Why do you care about how deep the lining is in Luries pockets?

because the whole "Lurie pockets loads of money that could be spent on players" is nonsense and has been proven so many times. 

The bottom line is, every year we have more unspent money than everyone else. This is outside of those fake roster bounus's and all those tricks. What are we going to with our unspent $6Mill this year?

[Tomahawk]

I think the Eagles should do something charitable with it such as feed TO's fatass family.
