Lurie reflects on loss

Jeff Lurie gave a pretty extensive interview to the Inky this weekend and touched on quite a few interesting subjects. Nothing on possible moves obviously... but it was an interesting look at how the owner takes these championship game losses.
LURIE: Unfortunately, beating the Giants was a wonderful playoff game and it lasted about 12 hours. When you lose a playoff game, whether it's New Orleans two years ago, when you knew you were going to be able to beat Chicago the next week - that's how I felt - I've been playing that New Orleans game over for the last two years. I'll probably play it less now because I'll play this one. People say, 'If it's that painful, that's not good.' But it is good because if you're really obsessed and, outside of your family and friends, it's your primary passion, the things you love, you feel hurt when you can't have it. If it were not hurtful, all the great moments would be less great.
After reading this article, you can't say that this guy doesn't care. I hear that about Lurie a lot, that he only cares about the bottom line... but the guy seems very genuine to me. He wants to win and he takes these losses as hard as we do.

Sorry I dont buy it
Actions speak louder than words. And i see a team that makes business decisions instead of football decisions. Anyone who follows the Eagles knows that the ownership of this team would rather win the Salary Cap Bowl rather than the Super Bowl any day.

amen JD
and its been this way since the 80’s….remember when we let reggie white go to the packers? and for what money?!!!! yeah this team is SOOOOO serious about satisfying their fans and winning the big one

Jeff Lurie didn’t own the team then. No one in this organization had anything do to with letting Reggie White go.

oh yes… of course theyr’e concerned with the bottom line more than the Super Bowl… That’s why they offered Randy Moss more money to sign here in the offseason than what he signed for with the Pats… That’s why we gave Asasnte Samuel a $56M contract, right??? Because that sure freed up a bunch of salary cap space…

besides ... who the fuck cares if they are trying to make some money too, it's their job.
Throwing money around doesn’t buy championships (see: Al Davis, Jerry Jones)
When the Birds need to shell out the money they do look at McNabb 12 years 112 million dollar contract. Dawk 3 years 8 Million, and of course Zont 6 years 57 Million. The Eagles are smart with their money for the most part.

Well
Even though we don’t have a ring we’ve been to the championship 5 out of the past 8 seasons. We’ve spent money on big time FA’s before (Samuel, T.O., Kearse) and we’ve been very aggressive in drafts too. I bet if we won the SB last week you guys would be singing our Front offices praises.
I don’t know how sincere Jeff was or not, but that’s pretty much how I felt too.

loved your comments on the McNabb poll….anyways….im not saying that on occasion they havent spent good money….however ther MO seems to always be “we wont pay” and unforrtunately if ya want top talent ya gotta “pay to play”

2004 – Jevon Kearse, Terrell Owens
2006 – Almost got LeCharles Bentley, the top FA.
2008 – Asante Samuel – top FA
So what were you saying again?

oh come on ajay
ya cant tell me that the eagles havent let MORE of their fair share of good talent slip through the cracks….case in point Donte Stall worth did an admirable job both here and in new england…but where is he now? Friggin Cleveland…Reggie white , probably the best DE ever…he ended his career a packer cuz the FO didnt want to match green bay….i can bring up more if ya need me to but im pretty sure youre intelligence can fill in the rst of the numerous gaps….either way GO GREEN 09!

Wait a minute
Are you saying you’d prefer Dante Stallworth to Kevin Curtis? Have you compared their production over the last two years?
Stallworth: 63 rec, 867 yards and 4 TDs in 27 games played
Curtis: 100 rec, 1500 yards and 8 TDs in 25 games played
And we offered Moss 9 million a year; it’s not our fault he turned us down. And most of the guys we’ve let split haven’t had the same success outside Philadelphia. Derrick Burgess is the exception, but guys like Trotter, Douglas, Taylor, Vincent…letting them go was the right choice.

Stallworth didn't want to be our 4th or 5th WR dude
He wanted to be a #1 o #2 and he wanted to get paid like it. If we said “Hey Donte here’s your 1 mil a year contract and you’ll be #4 on our depth chart.” Do you think he would sign back w/ us? This is common sense.

Given a choice between NE and PHI with roughly equal money, he chose NE because he thought he’d get more playing time.
I can’t believe someone is honestly saying we should’ve kept Stallworth, though. He did little to nothing in New England, they didn’t keep him, and then he went to Cleveland and did little to nothing there.
Every single WR on the roster – every one – produced more in Philly last year than Stallworth did in Cleveland. He also struggled catching the ball again, which is one of the main reasons we let him go.

Stallworth
He was demoted to the 4th WR, couldn’t even beat out Jabar Gafney. Plus, he’s always on the injury list. Those hamstring injuries are basically permanent and are hard to heal.
This current FO had nothing to do with Reggie White.

Stallworth has done NOTHING since leaving here. He did very little when he was here.
38 catches. That’s what Stallworth did here. That’s why he was shown the door.

Jevon Kearase was the #1 FA in 2004 too
NE, we do pay but we don’t over pay. McNabb is set to make what? 10 million this year? Name one team who over spends who has more success than us. IE Raiders, Jets, Redskins

Exactly. The other successful teams have a lot of the same philosophies as we do. Look at how many free agents the Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Giants, and Charger bring in. Not a lot. Then look at the teams that have recently: the Jets, the Browns, the Redskins (as an Eagles fan I think we owe it to the Raiders to not make fun of them for at least like 5 years).

It doesn't matter
You can put TO, Kearse, Clemons, Samuels as all the examples as you want.
Wouldn’t Mosses refusal to leave the Pats for Less money actually be a knock on our organization? Come on, that is a slap in the face if I have ever seen one bro.
It doesn’t matter. We need help. We grab a few FA’s and keep trying to win through the draft. Not a bad idea, but look at the Pats. They also grab what they can. They pay for Top FA"s and win 3 SB’s. They also have better coaches too.
My point is we have do more on the FA season then we have. Why don’t we ever max out the Cap? Doesn’t that say something to you? A lot of other people think that is being cheap. I am one of them people.
And no I don’t need to see the FA list for the Skins either. I know that building your team with all kinds of cast offs and FA isn’t the answer.
I want more FA’s, mixed with the long term draft philosophy we already have had in place for a while. Tony G, J Peppers and 4th DT is good for me.

“Come on, that is a slap in the face if I have ever seen one bro.”
Why? Given equal money most players would stay with the organization they’re currently with. When you add in moving, getting used to new coaches, system, and new players, that’s a lot of effort to go through especially when you’re near the end of your career like Moss is.

Your both right
But, isn’t “Show me the money” what players always talk about?
Seriously, he must have thought that the Pats had a better chance to win. Maybe he liked having Tom Brady.
THe only point I was trying to make is that using Moss as an example isn’t shouldn’t be looked at as a positive for our front office.
It’s like a hot girl staying with a less weathly guy because he is packing more.
It shouldn’t be something you brag about.

You’re an idiot. We offered barely more than the Patriots did and if he’s comfortable with the Patriots and likes them why the hell would he leave for $1,000,000? Leave a very good franchise where you’re happy for a place you might not like or might not do well at or might not get along with everyone for an extra million? His decision to stay there didn’t have anything to do with us. This isn’t hard to understand. I seriously can’t fathom how this is anything but cut and dry.

A million dollars?
I’m not rich as Moss.
But if the Eagles and the Pats were equal, he would have went where the money was better.
The point is that the Eagles and Pats and not equal. The Pats are better and thats why he stayed.
I guess I am stupid. 1 million dollars isn’t anything.

This is the worst argument I have ever heard. First off, he developed a relationship with Tom Brady, and the two scored more touchdowns than any other duo together. Everyone knew he was coming back with the Pats, it was just a matter of getting the Pats too offer him a near fair deal.
There is nothing in my mind that makes the patriots a better franchise other than SB victories. The fact that they have been cheating since 2000 when Belicheck became head coach tarnished the franchise enough to make up for that.

How is that the decision of ownership? Lurie doesn’t play GM like Jerry Jones. He leaves those decisions to his football people, as he should.
by JasonB on Jan 25, 2009 9:24 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
regardless of who made that decision, I have no idea why you are critisizing trading out of the first round. The Eagles trade downs the last two years have been very good value moves. If there was a player Andy had to have either year in the first round, Andy would have gotten him. Remember Shawn Andrews and Jerome McDougle? Andy knew he wanted both those players and made it happen.
Fact of the matter is that Andy knew he wanted DJacks last year at 19. Heckert told him DJax would be there in the 2nd, Andy listened, and now we got a first this year and an extra forth round pick to go along with DJax.
The front office is SMART!!! you might consider that cheap sometimes….but bottom line is they know what they are doing.

These are BS.
1. You MADE UP the reasoning behind that. Flat out made it up. Never once have the Eagles said they don’t want to pay for first round picks. PLus, picks outside of the top 15 don’t make much money as is, so that’s a total farce of an argument. It’s made up.
2. Who all were garbage when they left. None did anything after leaving.
3. All teams are under the cap. If not, they get docked draft picks.
4. So what?
5. How do you know this? Unless firing the guy is the only possible way to hold him responsible you don’t know what they do behind closed doors.
The assumptions here are amazing.

This situation is terrible. It’s not like we have two groups of people who have a good understanding of football disagreeing about the Eagles football operations. It’s we have one group of people who have an understanding but the other group is so totally clueless. It’s really not worth arguing. If someone seriously can’t figure out why we let Stallworth go, that should tell you it’s truly not worth arguing.

But what did Reese and Staley do after they left?
Staley didn’t do anything with PItt. Reese wasn’t worth what ATL gave him and you (should)know it.
I feel you with Trotter though, he was very young and the heart of our LB corps. They just didn’t want to pay him. The only good thing that happened to us is that he didn’t really do anything with the skins and he came back for way cheaper.
I think he was hurt a lot over there too.

As I remember 2006 season the Eagles D couldnt stop the run until Trotter was put back in the starting MLB slot. And that and Jeff Garcia(Sorry I had to throw that in) propelled the Eagles to win the division that year. Not bad for a guy playing on 1 knee.

Sometimes its not all about play on the field
U cant tell that Trotter couldnt of helped the Eagles out more than a Matt McCoy That was a dollar and cents decision and they had the cash. And what about letting him go the first time again dollar and cents.I still have nightmares of Levon Kirkland. and Mark Simoneau .
Reese was a great special teams player I didnt watch very much of Atlanta and players like him rarely get the spotlight so I dont know exactly what he did . But here he was a leader and his departure is a major reason the Eagles special teams have been less than stellar. Spending money isnt always about the numbers u get in return . U said Atlanta didnt get their moneys worth but I would be willing to bet they got everything he had and that would have been worth alot here in Philadelphia.
Duce was under paid for all he had done and wanted his payday and again maybe since he did it for the Eagles they would want to show him and others that they appreciated him.
They bench Gather after he refuses to sign an extension at their price, quincedense? Now I know u will guys will pour the green koolaid that says Jordan was so much better .I mean Gather wasnt outstanding but then again neither was Jordan.
When Lurie first got here he talked about becoming the Gold Standard and how they were going to win Super Bowlsssssssssssssss.I guess if buy a team at 165 million and they now worth over a billion thats as good as winning one . But to me as a fan i couldnt care less and would settle for 1 at this point.

Really ...
This is all speculation …
U cant tell that Trotter couldnt of helped the Eagles out more than a Matt McCoy That was a dollar and cents decision and they had the cash.
The first time we let Trotter go they offered him an extension and he turned it down, the second time we replaced him with Gaither which was a smart move because Trot didn’t do shit in Tampa. 13 games 9 tackles.
Reese was a great special teams player I didnt watch very much of Atlanta and players like him rarely get the spotlight so I dont know exactly what he did .
You want to throw money at a Special Teamer who happened to make the pro bowl in his contract year. I like Reese I followed him at Michigan State but you just can’t throw money at guys because you like them. Not to mention it was after the Superbowl year and teams struggle to sign players back after a superbowl run. And they were focused on signing Westbrook to an extension.
Duce signed a contract, he held out of camp and Bucky was coming back off of ACL surgery and Westy was coming into his own so they let him go. Would you rather they signed him back he played for 3 more years … 10 games 830 yards and 1 TD in 2004 then 5 games 148 yards and 1 TD in 2005 and 1 game with a bunch of goose eggs in 2006.Duce was under paid for all he had done and wanted his payday and again maybe since he did it for the Eagles they would want to show him and others that they appreciated him.
They bench Gather after he refuses to sign an extension at their price, quincedense?
Where did you hear this, they benched Gaither because he was struggling in coverage and was getting caught up in blocks. Jordan was better because our D immediately improved. JJ even said Gaither would be the first in if anything happened.
it seems you work on emotion rather then rational decision making.

so you can look at tape and see that Gaither was covering people like a madman, wasn’t getting torched by TEs, and that the reason he was benched was due to some contract bs?
ever think that maybe BECAUSE he was getting torched, the Eagles tried to extend him at a number that was below what he thought he was worth… and maybe he couldn’t come to grips with the fact tha the had to work on some stuff… and maybe that’s why he got benched…
U get your info the same way I get mine by watching games on tv or having season tickets
this coming from the person that a few minutes ago painted the picture that the contract issue HAD to be the reason Gaither was benched…

Constructive criticism is fine… But that’s not what you do… All you do is bitch and complain… Almost everyone of your posts is basically, “This is wrong…”, “That’s not right…”, or “This person sucks…” But never any real thoughts as to what could be done differently.
Your football knowledge can be summed up when you said that one of your gripes is that we’re under the salary cap… No shit you cumstain. You mean the salary cap that you’re required to be under? You’re seriously a waste of genetic material. You’d be of more use on this Earth if you were fertilizing a plan.

Will put my knowledge of how the game is to be played against yours and day pal .As far as the tape goes why do u think teams spend alot of money taping the games themselves instead of using the TV tape .U see about 1/5 of whats really going on watching TV and anyone who thinks they know whats going on by watching them is just a idiot.
Do you realize you’ve been here two weeks and NO ONE FUCKING LIKES YOU.
How will I ever get to sleep knowing that?

Well, let’s see here asshat, if I can see Gaither getting burned on my lowly TV, imagine what the organization sees on their game film tapes… Moron.
You mean your knowledge base consisting of “Gee why do we pay attention to that silly salary cap thing?!?!?” or “Let’s give all of our outstanding S/Ters starter money!”
I have no clue how you will get to sleep but, God willing, hopefully it’ll involve a heavy blunt object to the skull…

U didnt like tool ?
Tool huh? Wow… big words… What an inventive and impactful insult…
I guess I should have used your impactful (is that a word?) , inventive words that u and your buddies use such as retard or my favorite one cumstain.

impactful – having great impact or effect
Now I realize it would have been difficult for an inbred knuckledragger, such as yourself, to take two seconds and check to see if it was a word before you attempted a lame zinger suggesting that it wasn’t… but you’ll have that.
Yup, I used cumstain. I think it was fairly accurate. I never used retard… You’re the one who brought that up. Are you simple enough that you get the special parking pass for when mommy and daddy drive you around? I bet you get to wear an oversized bike helmet everywhere you go! Better get going… you probably have fingerpainting class today! Woo hoo!!!

not that I need to say anything because Foos pretty much took care of it ...
but I will say that until you offer some real knowledge or back up one of your ridiculous statements with some sort of fact or proof no one will ever take you seriously.
And I have all the games on my computer thanks to WCO and the internet is it really that ridiculous to think that a fan could have a copy of all the games.

I guess you guys
don’t really want to admit that the Eagles organization can do a better job.
Its like Reid and Banner are immortal. They make mistakes and some of use just would like them to fix them.
I wish we could have a new coach but it aint happening. So, now I just would like to see us trade a 3rd or 4th round pick for Tony G when we really could have used him right now. WTF is wrong with that? I know that DE’s Cole and Burress were late round picks and turned into gold but a guy B. Smith can be missed if we have a better shot with a top flight pro-bowler during a superbowl run.
I do have a problem with that. Some other fans also have a problem with that.
What are we going to do with Reggie Brown and Lito Sheppard? I don’t think that they are worth much, why don’t we trade or cut them?
When Reno Mahe was here why couldn’t we trade one of our million late rounders for a better return man that could have helped us in the New Orleans playoff game?
I’m not asking for every top FA or trade up every year. Just during the season maybe Reid could be like “maybe my offseason decison was wrong” and then he fixes it ASAP!

Huh?
I thought this argument was about whether or not Lurie is willing to spend money to win? How did it turn into whether or not the Eagles management ever makes a mistake? The point is that this team does try to win and makes very aggressive moves to be in a position to do so.
Hey, I am fat and lazy so I am not the guy to do it but I would love to see Andrew, Jason, or Joe run a draft analysis over the past 6-7 years. Of course mistakes have been made but every team has had draft busts and plenty of them. We just happen to see the Eagles’ busts because we are so close to them. I’ve yet to see one argument here that even remotely proves that the current Eagles brass will not spend to win. And of course that would have to be a completely different post since this one was about whether or not Lurie wants to win not whether or not mistakes have been made.
