Hey Andy Defenders....

[PhillyGirl]

Didn't read this whole thread, too tired, BUT...I'd like to add that Andy's playcalling gave them the game when they went 3 and out with 7 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

WTG dickface.

[LEO]

He will be around for next year (sorry to say)  .   HE JUST CAN'T GET THEM OVER THE HUMP

I bet Sean Payton must've giggled to himself when he saw that punt unit come on the field with 1:56 left to go in the game.

Yep.  Him and every Saints fan at the game and watching on TV - including the FOX announcers.

ha

im right behind you....bourbons n ginger all around

i dont even know what to say about reid right now...and there really isnt much to be said that hasnt already except i cant believe this guy is still gonna be on a nfl sideline next year and the year after and the year after....for MY team....his ineptitude is off the charts espcially in big games...im not even angry anymore...its just pure sadness knowing that this team  should still be playing

theres so many things to go into right now but above and beyond all is how does brian westbrook...arguably the best player in the nfl right now...get 13 carries...in a close game....someone needs to tell me something to make me feel better...something anything...

Reid is a fargin child in a mans world. How can't the players be in an uproar about his bullshtein playcalling? Its been going on for too many years, and he cost us to many  big games.  I get it now, Mormons brainwash their children, much like the players on this team.  fargin pathetic.

I want to strangle him for the 4th & 15 call. I can maybe see it if you have 3t/o's or even 2 and the 2min warning. But the defense couldn't stop Nick Cole if they tried.

Terrible decision

[PhillyGirl]

I feel like this, it seems, every year....that a Reid mistake cost us the season. Anyone else feel that way?

[ice grillin you]

that 4th down call will go down in history as one of the amazingly bad calls of all time....in any sport

phil sheridan in todays inky said it better than any of us ever could

NEW ORLEANS - Andy Reid punted.

With his Eagles' fifth NFC championship game appearance in six years on the line, the head coach chose not to go for a first down on fourth and 15 with less than two minutes on the clock last night.

Even though, once upon a time, the Eagles won a playoff game by converting on fourth and 26.

Even though, on the previous play, Hank Baskett caught a pass that would have been good for a first down. That catch was negated by a false-start penalty on the Eagles, setting up the fourth-and-10 situation.

Even though the Eagles' defense had been completely unable to stop the New Orleans Saints' offense throughout a wild divisional playoff game at the Superdome.

Reid punted and so the Saints will play in their first NFC championship game next Sunday. They continued their feel-good run under first-year head coach Sean Payton by beating the Eagles, 27-24, exactly the same score as the Saints' regular-season victory here in October.

It was a thrilling, entertaining game from start to finish, a contest played at a pitch every bit as high as the stakes. The game deserved Reid's best gamble on fourth and 15, not a white flag.

The Saints gladly took the punt and ran out the clock.

oh, and then...we hear this garbage afterwards:

"In hindsight, I guess maybe we should have [gone for it]," Reid said, "because we didn't get the ball back. I thought we would be able to get the ball back."

[DH]

someone needs to tell me something to make me feel better...something anything...

Ill do the exact opposite.

I just watched the replay of the false start 4th and 10 and just now realized that if Scott Young wouldnt have blown his wad, Basketts catch would have put us in FG range with 1:50 left. And 2 timeouts.

And, I thought I couldnt get any madder.

[PhillyPhreak54]

 

I saw him flinch and I thought he got away with it. Until they said a flag was thrown. And then I see Dirk out there and I punched several things in the house and left.

uh yeah

the sad thing is that until lurie and banner want something more than the playoffs then this will never change...i know its sounds weird to say that because teams like detroit dont even do that but at some point you want better than what youre getting...especially in this conference and how bad it is...the eagles have had to have made more than one superbowl this decade...again it sounds funny to say that but with the chances theyve had its true what theyve done is not near good enough...and it goes directly to a severe lack of in game coaching...because the players are there...they are more than good enough to win this conference with the talent they have....so why hasnt it happened more than once?

im scared of what happens when the cycle changes and the nfc becomes a good conference...which is going to happen at some point...and when it does i see 7-8/8-8 every year

[DH]

I actually didnt see him jump, so I went nuts when Baskett made the catch, then after jumping like an idiot I saw Mike Carey motion for a false start. I yelled farg alot. Loud.
