JMFP Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I remember when they signed Vick I turned to my Philly fan buddy and said, "its the beginning of the end of the Reid/McNabb/Westbrook Eagles. Mark it down." Also said Reid would be the last to go. Vick is and always has been a chump and is finally showing his true colors... lazy, doesn't study film, and careless with the ball. That being said, when Andy gets the axe I'll be the first guy on the street singing "ding-dong the witch is dead." His teams have had our number for the better part of the decade.

JMFP Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I doubt you'll be the first, there's a pretty large population of Iggs fans out there that have been calling for his head for some time. My only complaint about the guy is his pass heavy offense and the dumb trick plays. I'm not sure what it is, but seems like he goes off script 2x per year. Would love it if Reid was pass-happy whenever he played the Giants....instead, it's non-stop McCoy.....prior to that, it was Westbrook. Then, the other 14 games per year, he's a dipshit, according to alot of Eagles fans, at least. Conversely, Killdrive always has his absolute worst gameplans against Philly.

JackStroud Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 its easy to blame the HC.......thier problems are more personnel related- QB, WRs, O line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindgreed1 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 its easy to blame the HC.......thier problems are more personnel related- QB, WRs, O line While I agree, I also disagree. Personnel issues boil down to disclipline, conditioning and coaching to keep the list short. That all falls under the responsibility of the HC.

Actually, I think it would be safer to say he has an individual plan for all division rivals. I think most HC's do. Westy had some HUGE games against the skins and the balls as well. Djax always does well against the G-men and the skins too. Celek and Maclin do well against the balls, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgutmartyr Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 You know, Norv Turner is about ready to start a new chapter down Philly-way. And Jim Zorn? Hell, who would expect the same trick play twice? That's an innovator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 the guy should just play more madden to practice his clock management. what's lost in the giants/eagles game is how terrible reid was with his timeouts when we had the ball and were in fg range. he should've been calling timeouts once we got to the 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Or not get a offensive PI called against us when your already in FG range It was a hilariously bad decision by Eli. A "good" play by Barden in the regard that it could have likely been intercepted had he not interfered. Water under the bridge, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy didn't need to use them. If he doesn't need to use them he won't. It gives him time to get to the buffet before they run out of roast beef.

Be careful what you wish for. I knew Kolb was a bust after watching his first few snaps. I'm not your typical Iggs fan. I never drank the Kolb koolaide. And living in Tucson i've had the opportunity to see Foles develop over his time with the Wildcats. He works great without an O line (pre-requiste for an Eagles QB ). He's accurate, can read a defense (and is tall enough to see over the line of scrimmage), has a cannon of an arm, he scrambles well and has pateience in the pocket. He's also a hard worker and a quick learner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also a hard worker and a quick learner. I think DFNG didn't like him either. One compliment I will give Reid is he knows when to dump players and maximize the return on investment. He has been a master at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
