I hate this pussified team Reid has built.

Quote of the Reid era right there.

I will always be a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles but I hate what this team has become. I grew up watching the Vermeil/Ryan teams that were smash mouth, blue collar, kick you in the balls type of teams. Now I have to watch these pansies that call themselves football players get spanked week in and week out. This current Eagles team is pathetically soft on both sides of the ball and its really pissing me off.

I hate the version of the WCO that Reid is running.

I hate the small and "quick" (I refuse to call it fast, because its not) defense.

I hate that this team has no heart.

I hate having to root for the Eagles to lose to hopefully get some type of change.

But most of all, I hate the reality that the 5 year run we had (2000-04 seasons) is over, and its probably time to rebuild or at least significantly retool.

Let's build our offense around Buckhalter.

I thought we were building around Feeley?

ive been saying this for four years...reid has a flawed mentality when it comes to acquiring players....a mentality that causes him to try to make nfl players out of people like mark simenou matt mccoy and dhani jones....ive never seen a team built so soft on both sides of the ball...its disgusting

The second he said Feeley should be our next franchise QB is when I stopped reading.

Unfortunately, he said that at the end of the article, so I was forced to read the whole damn thing.

Eckel has a "fire Reid and get rid of McNabb" column too

Get rid of Reid
Release McNabb
Sign Gruden
Trade a 2nd-rd pick and any player except Westbrook in exchange for Matt Schaub

Eckel must have been rubbing his shtein raw since Sunday. This is his type of situation...the losses start coming and Eckel is right there to pick at the carcass like a buzzard. He's an idiot.

I hate sports.

Actually there's a lot of sensible stuff in that article.

Damn.

I hate to say this but I tend to agree with him on that. It really pains me to say it because Donovan is one of my all-time favorite Eagles, but at this point how can he really be counted on. He has had any injury every year since the TB loss, other than their SB season. I have always been a Gruden fan and would love to see him on the Philly sidelines, I know it is not going to happen, but one can dream. In reality we have at least one more year of Reid and his BS.

Getting rid of McNabb would be incredibly stupid. I mean it'd be historically stupid.

1. The guy still throws well. He's no Mike Vick who cannot stand in the pocket and throw. McNabb made himself a good pocket passer.

2. Pennington and Brees have blown their arms up and have rebounded well. Not to mention Palmer had a way more serious knee injury and is back playing well. So why in the heck would you want to give up on McNabb when his arm is still fine? It's not like ACL injuries are career threatening. They are pretty routine now. So he won't be able to run as fast. As long as he can throw the ball he'll be fine.

If they ended McNabb's stay here he'd have a job within seconds. And we'd be stuck trying to find a new QB. Maybe we'd see some washed up veteran brought in to hold the reins for a rookie. And maybe the rookie wouldn't pan out and we'd be in a QB free fall for years. You do not give up on McNabb. No way.

at this point reid and mcnabb are a package deal....they are both here until mcnabb isnt good enough and then both are probably gone...unfortunately that may not be for another 4-5 years....and it will be a shame as they will have wasted the career of a pretty good qb under the idiocy of andy reid

Getting rid of McNabb right now = stupid.

Getting rid of Andy right now = risky, but ok if there is a solid replacement (Gruden) not a bad play.

I don't think those two are attached at the hip. You can get rid of one and not the other.

sure you can but lurie wont...from the decision to take donovan to the booing at the draft to the TO fiasco it has always been andy and donovan...one in the same...and lurie is not going to break them up
