What The Eagles Did Wrong.



First off, Keep Andy, Keep Juan. I liked what I saw in the defense towards later in the year. Marty? Toss his ass. Bring in some fresh meat at offensive coordinator. I want real west coast football played by The Eagles. Marty is a great coach, with a shitty system.

I felt the eagles went too young, too fast. No Vets, no leadership. I laugh all the time on bgn when I see a fan-post about how Coleman is becoming a leader, or how Allen is developing in a leader in a locker room. Honestly no, the team is lost, the team is too young with not enough chemistry. My say on this...patience. Next year is the year baby.

One thing I never got about Marty is the offense we ran. This would be my offense with our skill sets maximizing every ones potential.

Tons of two tight end sets, tons of pounding the rock playing dirty football. Check this out, we pound the ball, then play-action and deep pass. Thats how this offense will work. Desean Jackson numbers would shoot in the air if we ran the ball more. It would open the pass period.

BIGGEST FAILURE WE DID THIS YEAR.

Letting Ryan Grigson go and becoming a General Manager for the Indianapolis Colts. This guy was the shit, I know he was involved in alot of our draft picks, trades, etc. But worst thing we did was not back Grigson our GM back in 2010. Freak Howie.

You say patience...

Then proceed to say “next year is the year baby”? A bit contradicting don’t you think?
Eugh, and I still don’t get how people are STILL sold on Juan Castillo…

Who’s been writing fanposts saying that our safeties are our team leaders? Was that you again DJack? I told you to stop that shit.

You know what’s funny? I searched fanposts for “allen leader” and “coleman leader” and there were no fanposts that called either of them leaders.

How about Safety leader?

Or NA Leader?

And confused Nate Allen w/ Nnamdi Asomugha. Perhaps?

evidence of young eagle players turning into leaders..

btw nate allen, brandon graham, jamar chaney, kurt coleman, possibly brian rolle will all be very good eagle players for years to come. we are young and talented people.. young.. we need to be wise..patience.

I laugh

when I see electricians, financial planners, grocers, WAWA employee’s…etc speak so arrogantly like they are experts over everyone else.

At least one more year of Andy and Juan. If they don't win it all they both better be gone!

No way Eagles draft a LB in the first round 2012.

What the Eagles did wrong?

Simple, they lost games.

"I once had a friend named Charlie, and Charlie was always late to school
He had a black eye one day, but he wouldn’t say just what happened to him
Charlie got mad in class one day, and stood up with a .22 pistol
Told everybody that he couldn’t take it anymore, he was over being the victim"

by Snax on Jan 18, 2012 3:29 PM EST reply actions  

They let Andy hire Marty, Mcdermitt, and Juan.

A rotting corpse would be a better OC than Marty.

by buddyball9 on Jan 18, 2012 4:44 PM EST reply actions  

Juan Castillo is a goddamn disgrace.

And Marty is a drooling moron. And Andy Reid is a mediocre coach at best. That’s three things they did wrong.

God Damn you, Andy Reid.

The fat queen has failed us again. Reid must go.

by EvilBanner on Jan 18, 2012 5:46 PM EST reply actions  

WHY keep Andy?

He has not won a playoff game in three years, only been in two playoff games in three years. Gets crushed in his playoff games. For Example, 16 pts against Packers, 10 pts against Cowboys, 3 pts against Carolina, 10 pts against Bucs, and i can keep going!!!!! That is not always QB’s fault, that is a bad philosophy….time is yours…

by Tydm69 on Jan 18, 2012 6:25 PM EST reply actions  

wait until we miss the playoffs in back to back years. Its never happened under Andy Reid in 13 years, thats pretty damn good

by dstern77 on Jan 18, 2012 10:44 PM EST up reply actions  

Correction: it was 21 – 24 Patriots

I think everyone should be bilateral coordinated.

by BIBTD on Jan 18, 2012 11:41 PM EST up reply actions  

There were many more reasons we lost that game

Than Akers missing two FGs. For one, Jones let a TD slip right through his hands that would have put us in a deep hole…bullet dodged there. Plus, we let their 3rd string RB gash us for about 130 yds. Not to mention a somewhat ill-advised jump ball to Riley when we had more than enough time to drive it closer.

I’m not against Andy as a coach, but he seems to have topped out. He’s good, he seems to be lacking that extra something to get him over the hump. It looks like he’s destined to top out at “very good”. Sometimes, you just gotta move on from that (e.g., Landry, Dungy)

by DLawrence55 on Jan 20, 2012 1:33 PM EST up reply actions  

why keep andy? because hes a damn good football coach surrounded by personnel. get rid of marty..keep juan. bring in a real damn secondary coach, i knew johnny lynn was going to be a bust from the start. i want saints quarterback coach for our offense, or possibly even hue jackson. i think hue jackson could really put some heat in our offense, players would be more open to a cool coach rather than deushy morinweg whos trying to fight the greatest defensive line coach in the game..jim washburn.

pittsburgh?

pound the rock, then playaction to wallace?

Just wait until December..

Doesn’t this

I want real west coast football played by The Eagles

preclude a lot of this

Tons of two tight end sets, tons of pounding the rock playing dirty football

and this

we pound the ball, then play-action and deep pass

or am I thinking of a different “real West Coast type” offense?

1). deciding to retain Andy Reid.
2). deciding to retain Castillo
3). NOT! considering Spaguolo for DC
4). Giving Reid another year
5). Investing Money into Vick
- notice how many negatives?
I suppose LURIE endorses losing.

....Tim Duncan for the three...YES! - Marv Albert.
