big time moves baby … I know you didn’t think we could get Tracy White … well guess what the Eagles FO stepped up and made that shit happen. You are welcome Eagles fans, signed Eagles FO.

+1

I’m sure the success of Buck played a part in this.

It’s not lik eother posistions where it takes time. Running through players is running through players. He simply wasn’t an effective back.

no linebacker …. just a guess.

And I agree. Loved him at PSU but I knew that he wasn’t fast enough for the pros. Good luck, Tony.

whoo hoo, first comment on bleeding green nation

you said he can’t catch the ball? that’s why we brought him here

Booker IS quick, he just can’t catch the ball

Does Andy know this????

Dude he tried to get Randy MOss and then he tried to get Gonzalez… What else do you want from him?

I echo one of my former posts…

ACK!!! Andy Reid is a witch! Burn him! Burn him!

Yes, Andy Reid is a horrible coach and GM. It’s not like he has the 2nd best winning percentage over the past decade or anything… oh… he does? hmmm. Geeez… Might as well roast him (mmmm roast) for taking McNabb over Ricky Williams. That was a huge disaster. And what the hell was he thinking spending a 3rd round draft pick on some kid from a little school near Philly? Horrible… And in an offseason where the entire city was yelling for an impact wide out, you think he’d at least CALL Randy Moss and talk to him, or at the very least draft an impact wide out that could contribute on special teams. Useless fatbody.

Why can he not see that all of this depth that he’s packed the roster with is useless!!! No one ever gets injured or fatigued! Damn it Andy, spend all of our cap room on 22 starters, and fill the rest of the roster with grocery boys!

We are most definitely the worst team in the NFL as a direct result of Andy Reid not spending all of our money on overpriced players in their mid-30s. He clearly cannot evaluate potential draft picks. My god. People like McNabb, Westbrook, Trent Cole, Mikel, Sheldon Brown, Mike Patterson, Shawn Andrews, Bunkley, and DeSean Jackson. What the hell was he thinking?!?!?!

That’s it! I’m so fired up right now. I’m going to find my torches and pitch forks. You better watch out Andy, the mob is coming for you! Burn him! Burn him!!!

Reid is brain dead

I’d watch where you’re pointing that finger

uhh it happens when Jerry Jones is willing to sell the better part of his draft for a constantly injured underachieving (any other type of WR from Detroit) wide out who, once the dust settles, he will be stuck with for a few years. it’s sad that you’re making such a big tuff over a guy who can’t stay healthy and whose best season is marginally better than Kevin Curtis’ 2007 campaign and for the most part his production is on the par with a typical Reggie Brown season.

if anything we should be thanking the Lions for sending the Cowboys a marginal player that they are going to invest too much money in and also hindering Dallas’ future development because they just lost valuable draft picks. also, throwing another prima dona ball hog into that locker room should really spur the feeding frenzy that will ensue.

we should be thanking the Cowboys and Detriot. don’t be pissy.

who’s that?

i’m with you man… this move has desperation written all over it

have you seen the average age of the players on our team for the past few years and the fact that we have been perennial contenders … I’m pretty sure that points to good drafting and good leadership. We have 5 players in their 30s among the tops in the NFL but our average age is near the bottom, thats a young team with veterans to lead them.

they added players to offense, which they’re already good at. thinking back to week two, i don’t think they could have scored more points on us if they had roy williams. however, their defense has only gotten worse, and they didn’t do anything to improve it. they add talent, yes, but at positions they don’t need more talent. ever hear of the saying “defense wins championships”? did you see last years superbowl? NE offense was insane,but the giants won, incase you forgot. point is, cowboys have no proven player in their secondary right now, so there is a good chance teams will pass all over them.
as for piss pooor scouting and drafting….
this past year, we drafted jackson, who is our leading receiver, and demps, who is making a great impact on special teams.
our 2007 draft consisted of stewart bradley, kevin kolb, and victor abiamiri. bradley is great so far, kolb is supposed to be our future, and abiamiri the jury is still out on since he’s been injured.
2006 draft
Rnd Name College Note
1 Brodrick Bunkley Florida State
2 Winston Justice USC
3 Chris Gocong Cal Poly
4 Max Jean-Gilles Georgia
4 Jason Avant Michigan
5 Jeremy Bloom Colorado
5 Omar Gaither Tennessee
6 LaJuan Ramsey USC

some starters do i see? gaither in round 5? jean gilles in round four, who did a good job last week.
2005 they got reggie brown, todd heremans, and trent cole (in round 5, mind you)

if you keep saying he’s bad at scouting, i’ll go further down the line…but that looks like pretty good drafting to me. btw, look at this 2003 draft. it’s insane

2002
Rnd Name College Note
1 Lito Sheppard Florida

 rounds 1-4 went to probowls if i’m not mistaken. case and point

so you started talking about drafting and now you’re mixing in free agent signings and trades?

by the way, you should probably learn the names of the player on our current roster. Chris Clemmons… just to start with… who, I don’t know if you noticed, had a good game this week btw.

Andy Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles
Team History
- best win total (91)
- winning percentage (.607)
- playoff victory total (8)

- five division titles
- four trips to the NFC Championship game.

No other franchise has earned more divisional playoff round appearances (6) and only Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots have advanced to more conference championship game appearances (5) than Philadelphia (with 4).

Reid has sent 19 players to 44 Pro-Bowl appearances, the highest total for any team in the NFL during that period. None of these players had ever appeared in a Pro-Bowl before Reid was hired. (probably more now this is an older stat)

name someone better … without losing a step … please enlighten me … everyone said the exact same shit about Tony Dungy … and then he won the superbowl … he wouldn’t have if the Colts hadn’t stuck with him.

I think there’s a case to be made for firing Reid. I’ve been very vocally anti-Reid, and while I do tend to overreact when it comes to Eagles losses, I don’t think it’s insane.

There’s a discussion on FO of the Eagles-SF game that I think summarizes the Fire Reid debate pretty nicely.

and a thread at the700level.com that also explores the subject, all written by guys smarter than me. (Hey, at least I admit it!)

http://www.the700level.com/2008/10/reid-replacemen.html

The thing that the most vocal Anti-Andy guy CANNOT do, is suggest that he’s a bad coach or that he’s been horrible for the franchise. The numbers just don’t support that..

ah some realistic suggestions clap clap clap

Once again, if you actually read… We’ve pointed out the short comings he has… But we see that a lot of good has come from Reid being here and can continue to come if he would make a few small adjustments… we in no way have our heads up his ass… we’re just asking you to respond with some thoughtfull responses instead of just rambling opinions

Your positions are that he drafts well, evalutes player well and I think while he has some success w/ drafting players, I gave you a list of some lousy evaluations and drafting of players

Oh darn you mean he isn’t 100% he has sent more players more times to the pro bowl then any other coach while he has been in Philly I think that puts his evaluation of players … well above EVERYONE else.

He is NOT a good game day coach and other coaches out smart him w/ their adjustments.

Yeah you are right his .607 winning percentage really backs that up. Would you say the same about Bill Parcells (.569), how about Bill Belichick (.610), and just for shits and giggles Tom Coughlin (.543). By your logic all of those coaches get out coached.

I just want the team to win the big game. I’m sure you do as well.

Yes I do and right now I think Andy is the one to do it without seriously setting this team back if we go to a new coach. Adjustments need to be made but this isn’t basketball or hockey, or baseball 17 weeks a season makes … firing a coach is a big deal in the NFL.

If you think andy will take us there I strongly disagree.

Your opinion and thats cool but he’s done it before … and I truly believe we can do it again.

I don’t want to come off as being to cruel I realize and share in your pain but if you come in here slingin opinions around like feces without any real way of backing it up and continueing to argue instead of just saying ‘IMO’ you are going to get beat up in here … for future reference.

we only got one of him.

we run it…no need for true number one
