i knew there was a problem yesterday...

at least somebody other than the eagles got raped at the game yesterday...that makes things a little better

The rebuilt Eagles will not be pretty.  As unlikely as it is, I still find myself actually hoping that they'll actually find a way to pull off the 9-2 or 10-1 finish.

If they even pull out 8-8 it will only delay the inevitable.

The thing that pissed me off more than anything was the lack of heart that the team showed yesterday.  Minus half a quarter they were completely dominated.  That itself screams coaching change.  This team will probably finish around 9-7 or 8-8 just enough for Reid to keep his job. 

The sad thing is McNabb has played damn near as well as a Qb could play and they are completely wasting it.  I would love to know what this guy could have done in a situation where he is not constantly asked to throw.  Imagine how effective he could be in a situation where play calling was balanced.  He clearly isn't Brady or Manning, but he is definitely good enough to win a SB with. 

As far as the talent thing I agree with Rome, they have talent.  If they didn't they wouldn't have been in every game that they have played this season.  Problem is that most of that talent is getting old.

Worst-case scenario.

Best:  Win next week, start kicking ass after the bye.
Next Best:  Lose ugly to the 49ers next week, things only get worse from there.  Team gets blown up.
Worst (also most likely):  Mediocre 7-9 to 9-7 finish.  Stay the course with Reid (and Akers!) next year.

You forgot Gocong's contract extension.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The only extension having to do with Gocong is what I'm going to do to his girlfriend.

[General_Failure]

Her hair?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It'll be fabulous.

but it was Event Staff who did it, so the FO wins

The Bears can score 34 points and score 24 points against the Eagles with Davis/Booker(Lloyd got hurt) as their frickin #1 WR. They also have a rookie RB, a mediocre offensive line, and an average QB.

The Eagles have way more offensive talent than the Bears, yet the offense can't move the ball a lick. I agree that the Eagles still have room to upgrade, but right now this is on the coach.

[Phanatic]

Coaching has been inconsistant and bad for the last few years now. Time to move on. It's been a good run but it's over. This guy can't call a game and his team has no heart...

[reese125]

Id give anything to see Reid in San Francisco not holding that over-sized laminated card all game

[TexasEagle]

It's time for a coaching change this off season. Unfortunatly I think that means blowing it all up and starting over. Get ready to suck for a number of years...

Why do people latch onto this line of thinking? It's always "if we get rid of Reid the Eagles are going to suck for years" or "If McNabb goes the Eagles are going to suck for years..." But that's not always the case. In fact, changes can do more good than bad. Perennial teams that suck  skew the numbers, but the well built teams succeed with coaching/ personnel changes. Like New England, Dallas, NY Giants, Indy, Tampa Bay, etc...  Philly has a well built team, they just need a new coach that knows how to run the fundamentals of football.

Dem der coaches don't grow on trees and owners don't always make the right choices on that front. Sure the Eagles can get the right guy in there and turn the team around quickly. I'm not certain I trust Laurie/Banner to get that right. I'm admittedly pessimistic at the moment and I don't think they have it in them. It will take no less then 3 1 - 15 seasons for Reid to be fired anyway so it's all moot.

Sure there are good coaches available. Do they want to work in Philly?

[PhillyPhreak54]

I love how this team goes no holds barred in the red zone. I mean, they always punch it in, right?

What a mess.
