Riggo-toni Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The Eagles success last decade had more to do with Jim Johnson and Brian Westbrook than Reid or McNabb. They also got away from what they did best - identifying and locking up homegrown talent. Reid without Johnson is like Ditka without Buddy Ryan...washed up.

Botched Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Pretty soon Vick will get knocked out for the season, then Reid will get fired, and an interim head coach will win a few games with Mike Kafka. It's the 2010 Cowboys all over again. Next year it's the Giants' turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEREALTOR1 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Mike Shanahan got fired because he wouldn't fire his defensive coordinator. What do you get if you promote your OC to be your DC, do they toss you in the village stocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Life Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 What do you get if you promote your OC to be your DC, do they toss you in the village stocks? Actually, it was the OL coach promoted to DC, which, in my opinion is worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Eagles fans don't really know how good they've had it under Reid, winning the NFC East almost every year. Get ready to go back to decades of suckage again, Eagles fans. A lot of their success came earlier in the decade when the rest of the NFC East was absolutely awful. From 2000-2004, the Eagles won four division titles. The rest of the NFC East during this time had three combined playoff births. From 2005 on, however, they've only won the division twice. The rest of the NFC East, meanwhile, has had nine combined playoff births. The Eagles are/were a well run franchise but a lot of their success was because their division was just really bad.

I have always thought this as well. The Eagles benefited from not just the weakest point our division had been at in many, many years, but the entire NFC was very weak during that time period. They were just pretty good when everyone else was very bad. Had the Cowboys, Giants, or Redskins had a pretty good team in the first half of the decade, I believe Philly wins one division title, and that's it.

Bliz Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The real question is if Reid has lost the locker room. I don't think he has, and that's what scares me more than anything else. For all their flaws, there are a lot of gamebreakers in that offense--the same playmakers responsible for the monday night massacre--possibly playing for their coach's job, after a week of everyone questioning their manhood. I expect them to be at the top of their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PF Chang Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 That would be about the only thing he has lost. He is fatter than ever.. I'm sure this is attributable to the poor start, but my god his press conferences are morbid at this point. He used to at least appear calm, now I feel like he's 5 minutes from a serious medical issue with each question he answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Just said on MNF they are considering bringing in a defensive consultant during the bye. They need to scour those bingo halls. I said that they would struggle, just like the Skins in 2000. But Ididn't expect them to use the exact same script the Skins used! Bill Arnsparger anybody? Dan Snyder brought Bill Arnsparger in to "consult" for the defense of Mike Nolan's in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKM311 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 As a Skins fan, I have always actually liked Andy Reid. I think he is an excellent coach at winning games. I think he has good systems and knows how to utilize talent. However, I have always believed he is not a SB winning coach. He has always messed up in controlling the clock (key in the playoffs). He has always had issues with time management. He has always had issues with play selection (again key in the playoffs). I don't think he has lost Philly, but he needs to look in the mirror right now and recognize that right now he needs to make some adjustments.

pointyfootball Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yeah man, Philly fans have been killing Reid for as long as I can remember. Unjustly so, IMO. Yes he hasn't won the big one, and even I have had to settle for realizing he most likely will not win it either unless he can somehow face an inferior opponent in the SB. But, AR has many admirable qualities about him as a coach. His teams play their best football later in the season, players/coaches keep stuff in the locker room, normally good at using players strenghts to help his football team and he squeezes every ounce of talent out of his QBs he can. I actually think what is hurting AR is he got away from what was working, namely a solid offensive line, and a defense that he entrusted to an excellent coordinator. He tried to keep the defense coaching job in house and it's blown up in his face 2x. As much as Eagle fans, and other fans, have mocked him for never having a great WR, he went out and spent highly on WRs and RB but has failed abysmally at stocking the OL which, IMO, is lending to Vick's turnovers.
