FIRE HOWIE ROSEMAN!

[Don Ho]

You and 99% of this board.  Did you see how few people were in the Eagles/Bucs thread during the game Sunday?  Record low turnout. 

[General_Failure]

I won't mind so much if Howie turns out to be as inept as guys like Jerry Jones or Danny Snyder. I won't mind if he hires a string of horrible coaches, and the Eagles are Browns bad for a while. I won't even mind when the few good players they've managed to draft go on to other teams.

What I will mind a whole bunch will be smug motherfargers going "I bet you guys wish you had Andy Reid back, huh?"

[ice grillin you]

Piece of shtein Roseman is putting Patterson on the NFI list because of his pneumonia.

And making him give up $$$.

Gutless heartless price. It's only like $125k.

farg you Howie.

this shtein was supposed stop when banner left....but i guess with howie being a direct disciple of lucifer we should have known better....but really this is 1000% on lurie...as an owner you CANNOT let this happen

its shameful

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah Jeff needs to veto this shtein immediately. Because Lurie's so damn PR conscious he better see that everyone is killing them for this. Think your other players and future free agents don't see this and think how farged up it is?

I heard Rhea say on her update that one of his agents said that Howie said something like "well we didn't get much outta him this year".

Really, Howie?

Because he had farging brain surgery. After playing all through it last year!!

This has me heated.

[ice grillin you]

yeah that quote was in sheridans column today


i feel bad for patterson for sure but its even bigger than him...this destroys locker rooms and causes players not to give 100% for their organization...as well as players they bring to philly or try to bring...guarantee this move has already spread around the league like wildfire and the eagles will now carry a black mark with the nflpa until they prove that they arent an organization like this....why the eagles would do this for 150k is beyond me

i have always been a lurie supporter and defended him....sometimes to a fault....but this shows me that there is more on him than i ever thought...with banner gone now lurie is the constant...banner might have had equal power to lurie but theres no way howie can....so to me this is all on jeff

they are a disgrace

[Rome]

He's an absentee slum lord.

farg Lurie.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The cheap greedy out of touch pieces of shtein agreed to pay Patterson in full

[Geowhizzer]

I figured this would happen just to put out the PR fire, but it never should have gotten to this point.  Bring back Tose.

[ice grillin you]

this is why philly is such a great sports city....its not the only place it would happen but there are a ton of cities where this isnt a story and gets minimal attention and is then swept under the rug...in philly tho it was a firestorm all day and it made the difference

[SunMo]

The most surprising thing (to me) that came out of today's events was Lurie saying that 2012 is the first draft and offseason that he holds Howie accountable for.  Beat writers were implying that 2010 and 2011 were more Banner than Howie from those comments.  I guess we don't have any choice but to believe it right now, but the proof will come out in the wash eventually.  It sounded like Lurie went back through guys Howie liked in the past few drafts and followed up on them.  He even went as far to say as Howie was the best in the organization at talent evaluation "by far".  I guess we'll find out

[Rome]

2012 wasn't an awful draft by any means.  If Foles turns out to be the real deal, it will be one of the better drafts they've had in a long time.

[Diomedes]

I guess we don't have any choice but to believe it right now...

I don't believe a fargin' word of it.

[General_Failure]

I believe Howie's the best in the building at talent evaluation right now. I believe there's no one left that knows anything about it.

[SunMo]

2012 wasn't an awful draft by any means.  If Foles turns out to be the real deal, it will be one of the better drafts they've had in a long time.

Yeah, everything thinks the 2012 draft was the best in the past few years, but there was a prevailing thought process in the media and with "connected" people like gargano that Andy had wrestled personnel control away from Howie in the past year and this was a draft with minimal howie input.  if it's really like how Lurie described it today and it is intriguing.

[MDS]

total bs done to sell howie or in the least blame andy/banner for the recent terrible seasons

doesnt really matter if its true or not. jeff is all in on howie and thats just the way its gonna be for the next few years.
