Mcnabb and Reid hold a closed door meeting.

TRANSCRIPT FROM THE MEETING...

Reid: Great job on Sunday, 5. Those late touchdowns gave the impression we wanted to win. That’s exactly what I was looking for.

McNabb: Yeah, those 450 yards were pretty sweet! Glad I started me on my fantasy team. I’m 8-2 and heading for the playoffs.

Reid: Hah, me too, thanks to Akers.

McNabb: You crafty bastard, that’s why we kept kicking field goals. It all makes sense now.

Reid: Hey, I needed the points.

McNabb: You could have told me, I would’ve thrown a couple in the dirt to help you out.

Reid: Did I really need to let you in on it? We never score touchdowns in the red zone.

The two share a big laugh.

McNabb: That’s so true.

Reid: Alright, let’s get serious.

McNabb: I’m with ya, Big Red.

Reid: We have engineered another successful midseason swoon. The media is writing us off. Fans have given up. It’s a beautiful disaster.

McNabb: I trolled some message boards last night. They want Kolb.

Reid: Perfect! Now is the time when we win three straight. First up, da Bears. Should be easy.

McNabb: But not too easy, right?

Reid: Exactly. Last thing we need is those asshats at ESPN jumping back on our bandwagon. We’ll still commit stupid penalties and stall in the red zone, but a couple bombs to DeSean should be enough to notch a W.

McNabb: Then there’s the Cutler factor.

Reid: Yeah, he sucks big time. Problem is, I’m running low on cornerbacks.

McNabb: Why not have Vick play corner?

Reid: Nah, I’m saving him for the Falcons game.

McNabb: That will be crazy.

Reid: No doubt. When Mikey scores his first touchdown in the ATL, we’ll be the talk of the league.

McNabb: Just in time to flop against the Giants.

Reid: Of course. That goes without saying.

McNabb: So, are we looking at winning the division, or wild card again?

Reid: Hmm… I haven’t decided yet. Injuries are buzzkilling my ability to manipulate the season. May have to call in a couple favors.

McNabb: Michael Lewis told me Singletary loves the cheesesteaks.

Reid: Is that right? Well, a couple boxes from Pat’s should do the trick.

McNabb: This has been fun, but I gotta go polish the “must-win game” speech for my presser.

Reid: You and the media. Just tell ‘em you need to do a better job and be done with it.

McNabb: Hey, you can coach until you’re sixty. I have a second career to think about.

Reid: Whatever!

Phone rings. Reid picks it up.

Reid: Yello, uh huh… you wanna do what? Um, yeah… sounds… interesting. I’ll be right over… okay… see ya then.

Reid slams the phone down.

McNabb: What now?

Reid: McDermott wants to start Trent at middle linebacker.

McNabb: Oooh, good luck with that.

Reid: Yeah, thanks.

McNabb: Later, Big Red.

Reid buries his face in his hands and sighs.

I truly believe this upcoming game is a "must win" for the Eagles. Currently they are in a four way tie for two wild card spots. If they lose on Sunday, they will be at a sub par 5-5 record and could have a tough time making the playoffs. If the Bears win, they are back on the race as well. It would become a 5 team race for 2 wild card spots. As for the division, if the Eagles are 5-5, I think the Giants and Cowboys will capitalize on our struggles. It would give them the push they might have needed to play better. We don't need to help them out. 3 teams for the division and 5 teams for the 2 wild card spots. That's going to be really tough especially with the toughest part of our schedule up. Any of those 4 other teams could get hot at any time, they are all good teams.Three straight losses will pretty much kill this team and possibly the season. I feel it will destroy their confidence and frustrations will start to boil over.

Yes, I know, you ain't out until the math says you are but seriously, they need to show something against the Bears or I'm afraid this team will go nowhere. I want the Eagles to WIN the division not be handed out to them by Dallas and New York screwing up. Last year it took a miracle to make the playoffs, they might not be so lucky this time. They better get their shit together soon because unlike last year, we got two of the top 4 teams in the NFL in the NFC. The playoffs are not going to be a cakewalk. There won't be 10-6 and 9-7 teams waiting in the playoffs like last year.They need to finish the season strong and gain some momentum going into the post season.

In other words, Eagles......DO NOT LOSE THIS GAME!
