Eagles 17, Cardinals 21: Another Week, Another Blown Fourth Quarter Lead

At this point, the Eagles ineptitude in the fourth quarter has become so predictable that it's not even surprising anymore. In previous weeks we've been left scratching our heads asking "they can't possibly blow another 4th quarter lead right?" But not anymore. We're no longer shocked. This is what we've come to expect. Five fourth quarter leads blown.
Of course, this particular fourth quarter meltdown isn't quite like the others. In previous weeks we've seen them at least play well for part of the game and then go bad in the fourth quarter. This time, they really were no worse in the 4th than any other part of the game. This was just an awful game from start to finish.
I won't even get into the defense because at this point we know they're garbage. You would have to been a truly deluded Eagles fan to not assume they'd fold on that last drive. They've done it all year and it's no shock to see it again. The only thing I will say is that if Juan Castillo doesn't deserve to be fired for somehow allowing a rookie safety to be matched up in single coverage downfield with Larry FItzgerald when you have both Nnamdi Asomugha and Asante Samuel in the game... I don't know what else he can do. Aside from just pulling the defense off the field and allowing the opposition to score freely, he could not have handled this defense worse.
But let's get to the offense, which was as bad as we've seen all season. We've pointed out a few times this season the incredible bad luck that has led to so many of Michael Vick's picks this season. Tipped passes, WRs getting the ball stripped away etc... but there was none of that today. He threw four picks today, all of which were 100% his fault. Now, only two counted, but that doesn't erase the decisions from the ones that were called back. It was easily the worst we've seen Vick play as an Eagle. He simply wasn't seeing the field. His accuracy, which has been so good all year, was non-existent. He was just awful.
But even given that, we can't excuse the rest of the team. When Vick would make a decent throw, it would be dropped. I counted five drops today, two from Steve Smith and one each from Jeremy Maclin, Brent Celek & Riley Cooper. You also saw Vick really struggle to find open targets for large parts of the game and obviously DeSean Jackson's benching and Jeremy Maclin's injury played a big part in that. But really it reveals another theme we've seen all year from this group. When one guy or one unit is struggling, no one is there to pick them up. Michael Vick has a bad game and his WRs drop any decent pass he does throw. The offense puts up 24 points in a half and the defense gives up 30 the next half. It's like the only chance this team has to win a game is if everything goes right, which to me is the mark of a bad team.
However... Like we've said for years in the Reid era, when the passing game is struggling, he doesn't fall back on his running game. He "keeps firing." The Eagles had over 40 called passes today and handed off to LeSean McCoy, who is arguably been the best RB in the NFL this year, 14 times. With those 14 carries he produced 81 yards and a TD. The Eagles passing game today generated 128 yards and two turnovers.
Keep firing? That should be Jeff Lurie's new philosophy.

I knew from the beginning of this season that they wouldn’t dominate right away. Too many new players. They are rebuilding this year and I think are building for a big run next season.
You are kidding right?
You don’t really mean this, do you? You don’t sign a bevy of vets (to what are basically 1 year deals) to rebuild and make a run next year.
Aside from Steve Smith & Mathes who is on a 1 year deal?

Ronnie Brown, Vince Young?
If we weren’t going for it this year, there’s no point in signing these types of guys as backups. Vince Young could easily be starting for the Redskins or the Colts. Ronnie Brown could probably be starting for the Redskins or the Colts too, not to mention Kansas City.
The Eagles loaded up on talent so that they could withstand some key injuries and make a strong push into the playoffs. After this season the only guy out of those four that we should even try to re-sign is Mathis. Andy staked put his job on the line with the moves he’s made. Mudd was a good move. Washburn was probably a good move (better than ol’ Rory, that’s for sure). Castillo was not. This is a young, rising team that had successfully withstood the changing of the guard at some very key positions on offense (QB, RB, O-line) in the past few seasons.
Do I think we’ll be better next season with the vets we signed that will still be around? Definitely. I expect to see a marked improvement in Asomugha and Rodgers-Cromartie next season (and if I don’t, holy shit). I think it’s obvious the truncated off-season messed with a lot of teams this year, the Eagles included. We just haven’t found a way to overcome those obstacles like other teams have. I’m hoping next year our offense and defense have more time to gel as a unit, as a single entity that can perform and execute well.

Give me a break.
This was not a “rebuilding” year. The f***ing owner said that “we’re all in” this year. The expectations were high, and they should have been. So much BS. There’s no reason this team shouldn’t be winning games. They have the talent. They don’t have the coaching.
by PhiladelphiaEagles on Nov 13, 2011 5:04 PM EST up reply actions
Its not just the coaching. Its the players too. They have the talent, but they think they can get by on that alone. The players share just as much of the blame as the coaches.
Eagles: 3-5, Ei yi yi, Ma-ma-mia!
Flyers: Good start
Phillies: Sigh
They need a new coaching philosophy.
The season is over now, under Reid the guys have NOTHING to play for/bleed and sweat for. They fire this guy and it sends a message to the team that there is a new philosphy in town, show me what you are working with if you want to be back here next year!
...not really
you fire Reid and a lot of guys will want to go to other teams…
It’s unbelievably painful to watch a defense play like that of the 49ers. They play with a ton of attitude. They want to be feared. They go 110% on every play. They look savage and mean. Carlos Rogers looks reborn after wasting away for years with the Redskins.
Then I watch the Eagles defense and we don’t look savage or mean. We’re not to be feared. We look like a defense just trying not to lose instead of like a defense trying ot win.

I honestly would be glad if Reid was gone by next Sunday. Theres no reason he should stay around the rest of the year. The seasons over, we might as well start fresh next year. And I’m guessing that if Reid is around, Desean won’t be, so we’d might as well get that out of the way ASAP.
Coleman, ya proved me wrong.
I still don't understand why people are saying this.
Good as Burflict or Te’o might be, we WILL NOT draft a linebacker in the first round as long as Reid is the coach. To think otherwise serves no purpose but to get your hopes up, leading to disappointment on draft day.
Unless you’re saying that you think Reid will be fired before the end of the year…?

I don't even care anymore
Its so sad. I watched the first quarter of this game and it was so embarassing that I stopped watching and took my son to a car show just to avoid watching the game. This team is nothing less than an embarassment. Simple as that. There is enough blame to go around and I’m not even upset about it. I have a brother who’s a Boys fan who sends me texts and jokes about my team and I’m sad to say I don’t even care. I will always be an Eagles fan till the day I die, but to call this team anything else than an embarassment is just denial at this point. If there aren’t some major moves by the end of this season then I may have to ban myself from football for a little while.

I’m with ya buddy. The worst part is that you can tell the players don’t care, they just don’t. Back when we had Dawkins, the players WANTED to be on the field, they WANTED to win for the fans. These asshats are just there for 3 hours then go home and jerk off. It’s infuriating. This is the first year that I can honestly say I don’t feel emotionally connected to this team. How can I root for a team that just doesn’t put anything into it. It’s a joke. And I can’t fucking stop watching, because I love the Eagles, but I hate the people who make them up.
Coleman, ya proved me wrong.
Totally agree
If this happened to last year’s Eagles, the 09 Eagles, or pretty much any other Andy Reid team for that matter, I’d be in a blind fury. Not now. I’ve come to expect this bullshit. And it’s going to continue until heads roll, which probably won’t happen until after Week 17.

Big picture
Why make a change now and risk winning games and moving our draft picks from potentially top third of each round to the middle third of the round?
We’d be better off with this collection of clowns continuing to suck each week so we keep losing. Once the season is over, fire their asses and bring in a whole new regime.
Who are you going to bring in to coach the team? They’ll have zero authority and the team playing like shit will leave a horrible taste in their mouth for the coach next year.
Andy Reid has earned the right to ride out the rest of this season. He’s done more for this franchise than anyone in the past.
The Jruth shall be told.
Im not saying fire Reid
right now, Im saying keep him so we can keep losing and get the best draft position possible. Fire him right after game 16.
And it is
beyond sad that we feel this way. This team is a train wreck right now.
Seriously
I hate to say it but we probably needed to lose this game to smash all that false hope. Year after year this guy Reid manages to pull off late playoff berths that cloud our vision and hopes for the next season. Right now we have one of the most talented teams in the league and we are still melting down. Only constant all of these years of failure been the coach – we need a new philosophy just like we needed a new QB to lead team when we dumped 5. I
At this point I want ANY coach, but no matter who it is I want one with a fundamental approach – starting with believing in the strength of linebackers. We have a great D line now, great DBacks no middle and no mean ass safeties (or LB’s) to put fear into anybody. Im not ignoring Vicks picks but the O line need to stand firm , VIcks 1st 2 series he was on his ass almost every hike.
We can use the balance of the season to shore up Vince, let him play and learn the game so he is not so predictable when he has to come in for Vick.
Its time for something new!!!
Of course I sat Larry Fitzgerald thinking that he didn’t have Kolb and that Juan couldn’t be stupid enough to not tell Naamdi to not let Fitzgerald catch the ball…

that's dumb
Fitzgerald starts every week that he suits up, no exceptions.
I also thought there would be problems, followed by a big season next year
But this roster isn’t going to gel and be great next year. No point even guessing about next year because if Reid is fired, no reason to think new HC will have faith in Vick even with the big contract.
Juan needs to be fired now.
Right now. Zone defense in the the redzone that lets players walk into the endzone. Jarrett being left 1v1 on fkin Fitz. His miss use of Nnamdi and DRC. The no discipline on 3rd downs which causes first downs by way of penalties.

and what about

I'm ok with that at this point
I’m really against coaching changes in the middle of the season, but at this point, can we really do much worse? I mean, at least let the new guy get in here and tinker with the defense while we piss the rest of the season away, so we can come out strong next season.

I just can’t fathom how during a 2 game win streak where the team looks amazing you hand the ball to LeSean McCoy 28 and 30 times, then in the next 2 games you give it to him 16 and 14 times….You play zone defense during the 4 game losing streak, realize it sucks so you go to man over the 2 game win streak, the defense looks good finally, and you go right back?? Its not rocket science, its football. If something is working don’t change it.

He’s done it for years, just as the article says “keep firing” instead of just doing what works, its the same reason in the red zone instead of just running the ball we try trickery and retarded plays half the time
I guess Juan did not see this video. Raiders
Asomugha vs Fitzgerald
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57RoEKlbUE8
1 catch for 18 yards on 6 attempts.
Covering Fitzgerarld 90% of the game.
That was a very good game by Asomugha
One point on that game. One of the few times Nnamdi wasn’t on Fitzgerald, do you know what happned?
I have a teory on Nnamdi's struggel
He plays bad because he goes up against players that isn’t near his level and when you play someone several levels under yourself you get sloppy and you play bad. I play Icehockey. Eventhough it’s not like football, when I play with/against a team not close to my level, I get sloppy and play bad. Nnamdi might want to have a hard test, he wants to shutdownsome of the best WR’s in the game, but when he doesn’t, he plays a bit sloppy, migth unconsciously.
I remember that video
It was one of those ones going around on this site when we signed Asomugha. I was so hyped to have such a beast of a CB.
Too bad Castillo has him looking… decent? okay?
But not 1 for 18 on 6 attempts. Which is why I thought we brought him in.
Talent doesn't mean shit,
if you don’t use it. Next person who says “the Eagles are a talented team blah blah” should be smack in the head.

On not giving McCoy ball in 4th Q, Reid says, We thought we could do what we needed to do to put up points by passing….Speechless.

Time to start openly talking names. The front office has proven they can put talent together- I don’t think anyone doubts that. This coaching staff got a wish list, which available coaches out there would like that?
Its clear that this could be a radically different “everyone out” move. Does the FO bring in a Cowher/Belichek/Reid type that wants control, or maybe they frankenstein their own coaching tree?

Not a whole lot of A-Rods out there right now. Looking back at the first half of last year, we thought we had one of them.

Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.

Giants players are going down, and others are stepping up.
Cruz and Manningham were a garbage, no-name line-up of wideouts, and they’re getting open and making tough catches.

That was a reason as to why Reid shouldn’t be fired. I won’t argue that Castillo was a bad hiring, but the fact remains, the Eagles under AR have been one of the best the last decade.

Luck is a factor, but considering that luck plays a bigger factor in a playoff game than over the course of the regular season then you can not have a coach who hurts his team by being unable to manage a 2 minute drill or have any sense of normal clock management.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
Reid completed neglected the running game vs the Packers
When that was the only weakness in their defense. They had a tremendous pass rush and defensive backfield last season.
Andy’s whole gameplan against the Packers was shit as usual, pass pass pass with his choreographed offense that leads nowhere, then Michael Vick gets them back in the game late playing sandlot football but it’s too little too late.
And you could bitch about Akers’ missed field goals as “unlucky” but settling for field goals in the redzone and inability to convert on third and short’s has been a problem of Andy Reid’s for decades. It won’t get better through “luck”.
He’s been here more than one year.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a fucking clock.

Take away the Miracle at the Meadowlands game— where Andy was completely outcoached— and this team doesn’t make the playoffs last year.
The team from 2 years back was even worse and lost 3 games to the Cowboys. None of these teams have been very good really since Jim Johnson’s death. This team is regressing, it’s not getting better, and so is Andy..
And the chance of us improving if we don’t change anything is 0%.

Really? Maybe you weren’t watching when McCoy(arguably the best RB in the country) didn’t touch the ball for 12 minutes after a 29 yard run five minutes to go in the third.
Maybe you didn’t realize that Vick was averaging 3.5 ypa and still passing while McCoy was running for nearly 7 ypc and not getting the ball.

QB position isn’t a priority for the eagles.
Anyway…at draft there will not be any DC to pick??!!! :)
Vick’s not a long term answer, and if there’s several good QBs coming out in a year when we have an early pick, pull the trigger.

If my opinion matters to anyone this is what we do ASAP
We pull a Penn State and completely cut our losses (obviously different situation). This means, fire Andy, Marty, and the Jaun and only. Bring in someone who will crack the whip on this team. Everything get in there face and scream at them, nothing will be given to you. THat is what has hurt this team, for weeks it was were gonna turn it around, like it was just going to drop in there lap.
IMO: bring in Gruden in the off season to change the mentality of this team.
Some Immediate off season moves include:
Pay Desean- It is obvious how important he is to our team in more then one part of the game. Sign him up for 6-8 million a year and I am cool with that.
Resign Mathis-He has been pretty good, and probably cheap.
Cut Steve Smith- I really don’t have to get into this do I? FIGHT FOR A FIRST DOWN>>>>
CUT Jason Babin- One dimensional and really hasn’t been nearly as good as his sack totals suggest. Was completely exposed when Cole wasn’t in and in the bears game.
CUT Vince Young- No need for him and his retardedness
CUT Ronnie Brown- 49er’s game, enough said
Bring in either Johnson or V.Jackson if desean is asking for to much money,
Look into signing Mathis from the colts or Mario Williams if salary space allows, either of them with cole would be incredible.
Bring in Dawkins if he hangs it up: Let him play a Duce role, if anyone knows JJ D it’s him.
Please let me know about anyone else you would like to see cut or come in.
Stats won't get you in the playoffs. Winning will get you in the playoffs

Seriously it can suck being a fan here during the bad times.
Every time a Cowboy hates, an Eagle gets his wings.
Has any one ever seen
A corner back line up off sides?!?!?!? Gotta love a rookie in his first start ever covering a hall of famer in the prime of his career with the game on the line. Sean McDermott is laughing his ass off rite now Wtf wtf wtf wtf!!!

I don't think McDermott is laughing too hard
I don’t know if you’ve seen his defense in Carolina…
He might be available next year!

How did our passing game look so bad today! I just dont get it!!!!!?

lol?
just wait til defenses figure out he can’t play anymore. This whole Deep Safeties thing will disapear. we lost today because we refused. REFUSED to run the ball when it was the only thing working. We took the ball out of our best player’s hands over and over again in a close game. THATS why our offense looked like shit. Don’t glorfy this soft ass, brick hands, Devin Hester wannabe please.

I think players are really gonna start lashing out soon and saying what they really think of the coaching. Andy is losing the team.

This might be the most humane way......
….to end our season. A loss to the CRADS is like a quick shot to the head, rather than letting us hang in there watching our teams’ playoff hopes slowly die!
I got all my mad out of me last week! So disappointing!

i love how people think
that the reason we lost is because we didn’t run the ball enough lololol… Get a clue please…..
JoeD AKA The Voice Of Reason
the run game worked today, Vick was awful. Sometimes people go overboard wanting to run the ball, but today they would be right.
lol come on man
i love how after every loss, people think if we ran the ball more we would’ve easily won….. It doesn’t work that way… If our WRs didn’t drop easy passes or Vick throws more accurately/doesn’t turn it over in the red zone our offnese would’ve been OK….furthermore, the defense was just dreadful thanks to Juan ( i bet no one would care about another mexican joke today)…. i mean there were just so many reasons why we lost…running the ball more would not have changed a damn thing
JoeD AKA The Voice Of Reason
Running the ball more would have taken the ball out of Vick’s hands since he was having an off day. Our receivers wouldn’t have dropped as many balls because they wouldn’t have as many balls to drop. The only thing that worked consistently today was McCoy and we took the ball out of his hands.
we ran the ball A LOT against the Giants and still lost
The same thing applies here. There were so many more things wrong than the play calling…..
JoeD AKA The Voice Of Reason
You’re crazy. McCoy gets the most runs of his career in back to back games and the Eagles win both games. Then he proceeds to get 14 and 16 runs (or something of the sort) and the Eagles lose both games.
The Jruth shall be told.
defense and passing game worked really well for Dallas....
and come on, we played the Skins… you cant just bust out little stats here
JoeD AKA The Voice Of Reason
It was so obvious that the passing game wasn’t working at all today.
One instance comes to mind after SS caught a 3 yard pass on a first and 10. Next play, Vick kills and goes to a run, but Andy calls timeout right before he’s going to snap the ball. 2nd and 7, McCoy averaging nearly 6 yards per carry against a horrible run defense. Pass, Pass, Punt. When you go 3/15 on third down you know your passing game is garbage. Time to run the football.
The Jruth shall be told.

I thought I saw that...
I think you might be correct, Reid actually called a timeout there because he saw that Vick audibled to rushing play and Andy wanted no part of it…
That was un-fuckin-believable.
we would have lost to the skins
If they didn’t keep feeding Shady in the fourth quarter.
i would care about another mexican joke. douche.

McCoy in the second half had 2 carries that went for less than 4 yards. Vick was having a terrible game. I’d say giving the ball to McCoy a few more times would be pretty useful. He averaged 5.7 ypc
I’d say it is one of the reasons the Eagles lost. Reid’s refusal to run has doomed this team far more than once. When your QB is having a bad game, Reid’s answer is to throw more—it is completely illogical but I guess Reid “outsmarts” himself.
It’s a joke with this guy. The first guy that needs to go is Castillo, who has no business coaching in this league, but I honestly don’t think Reid is too far behind anymore.
You can say what you want over the last decade, sometimes it is just time to go in a different direction. I hardly see Reid as being the answer anymore.
I love how you’re still clueless about how this game works. I can’t repeat this enough. LeSean McCoy who was averaging nearly 7 ypc compared to Vick’s 3.5 ypa didn’t touch the ball for TWELVE minutes after a 29 yard run late in the third. That might not be the only reason they lost but it’s a huge reason. With no Jackson, Maclin injured, Smith and Cooper dropping balls like it’s hot, and Vick being inaccurate, you’re going to keep passing? McCoy is the best 4th quarter runner in football(and arguably best overall) but he didn’t get the ball when they had a 7 point lead in the 4th. So ridiculous that even you can’t defend Reid at this point.

and at 3-13 thats probably the 5th-6th pick this year and at that point not a ton of talent needed there that we couldn’t get at 12 or 13

I still think Andy is a good coach and maybe he will do well somewhere else. It is time to switch it up though. He has been here to long and has lost the teams support I feel. I really would like to see them keep Andy to the end of the year and then pay Gruden whatever he wants to come here.
by Eaglesarelosingforluck on Nov 13, 2011 6:13 PM EST reply actions
It has gotten so bad, I just laugh when the Eagles do something stupid. I think it is a popular sentiment around here to be beyond the point of anger. At this point, I just don’t even understand why things are unfolding why they are.
Why is Juan still in charge of the defense? What else can he do to prove his incompetence? Why does he keep making the same decisions despite evidence to the contrary? Does he understand football at all? Does he even have a brain?
There’s no amount of words to explain or justify what is happening. You could tell no one cared to win today, for whatever reason. All I know is, it is time for a change. A big change.
There are different QBs and Vick can't do it.
Marty M. should draw some plays thinking Vick’s abilities….and i think that he didn’t it so well. Because the routes are just too long for him. I think Marty M. should use more combo routes in a range of 6-7 yards. Short – intermediate routes. My opinions…now I am ready to be criticized :D

They Need to Fire Reid, that I don’t know shit about Offence Co., and that NON Defensive Co.
I wasn't even a year old but I stayed up to be outside the Vet with my Dad and Mom when the Phillies won the World Series 1980.
Front office did their job. They got the players. Reid needs to go because he is not looking at the talent he has and adjusting his offensive and defensive policy to utilize the players the best. What I don’t get is he has done this in the past. The offense needs to flow thru McCoy. On defense Asmougha needs to be in solo press coverage on the best receiver. Two glaring points, I’m sure their are more. Kinda confused why Dunlap was at guard today? Why not move the Tod father back to guard and have Winston Justice at right tackle. Ughhhh things just suck and I feel he won’t adjust to what he has.

Im a cowboys fan
And let me start by saying, I know the feeling… It gets better. The cowboys had all of the same hype and preseason praise last season that was dawned on the eagles this year. If you ask me, I believe it is the coaching. After a certain time, veteran coaches simply have their scheming figured out. That was the case for us with wade Phillips, and I think that’s the case with Andy Reid and castillo.
