Eagles Owner Jeff Lurie To Speak Tomorrow At 2:30

The Eagles have announced that owner Jeff Lurie will hold a press conference tomorrow. He will be the first member of the Eagles organization to speak since the end of the season.

There aren't expected to be any surprises, but let's open it up to predictions. Will Lurie do anything more than say sorry to the fans and say Andy Reid will be back for another year?

What are we going to find out?

I’m thinking that all he will do is say whether or not Reid will be back. All of the other stuff will come later. Even there is a condition say, that Reid can only stay if Castillo is fired, I would think that you would hear that from Reid. If Spags is hired, I would think that you would hear that from Reid.

I’m really, REALLY anxious to here what Lurie has to say. I don’t think this will be a cookie cutter, procedural press conference where he talks about the “gold standard” or “doing a better job”. What is the point of calling a press conference to acknowledge that you failed? What good does it do to come out and officially announce that this season was a disappointment? There is no point, everybody already knows these things.

Lurie hasn’t ever done this before, that is what makes this so intriguing IMO. Lurie has always been hands-off and calling a press conference simply to rehash the failures of the Eagles is very Jerry Jones-ish.

You assume that he cares what the fans think

There are plenty of people that will still buy merch and game tickets regardless of what happens this offseason. He can do pretty much whatever he likes, and of he feels like talking to the press about a disappointing season then he has no reason to do anything different.

I, like so many others, get pretty annoyed with Banner at times. But if a guy is willing to publicly admit he made a d-bag comment, don’t we owe it to him to let it go?

*Note Bold are playoff seasons. Also note that in 13 seasons as a head coach he’s made the post season 9 times.

Now lets forget the frustration that was this season and, remember that Andy has one of the best winning % in the regular seasons of ANY head coach in the NFL and add in the fact that your last 7 posts have read something along the lines of “Fire Andy Reid”. If you’re not going to add anything constructive to the blog I know most of the community here would love to just see you go away.

I agree Andy is a good coach. We’ve all been lulled to sleep with JUST making the playoffs. However, the overall numbers equal about 10-6; this level of mediocrity is why we accept just making the playoffs AND the tired “delusional” Cowboy philosophy: next year. I am ready for new blood AND a new direction. One of the longest tenured coaches has ONLY 1 Super Bowl appearance (not win..lol) in 13 years.

And to win the Super Bowl you have to get into the playoffs. It hasn’t happened yet, but that doesn’t mean it will never happen.

Two Sides To This Story

2000-2004: 59-21 (12-4 record on average), made playoffs every year, 1 SB appearance.
Perhaps not gold standard (only 1 SB appearance), but damn close.
2005: OK – a mulligan, but we haven’t been the same since.
2006-2011: 56-39-1 (9.5 wins on average), made playoffs 4 out of 6 years, but really should throw out 2008, as we were gifted that one, so really 3 out of 6 years. So, 9.5 wins, 50% playoffs, best year was actually that fluky 2008. Smells like a bronze standard, which doesn’t cut it in a gold medal sport.
Yes, you can say that AR was a great coach, but the operative word here is “was.”
Time for new, younger blood.

Andy Reid Is A Fraud

but really should throw out 2008, as we were gifted that one,

Sure is easy to make an argument when you choose to ignore facts that contradict your argument.

We made the playoffs, and won 2 playoff games that year.

See me go away? Lol

All of those high win teams were largely defensive teams. Other than that it was screen right, screen left, repeat. Nothing super special with Andy Reid, look at his recent record, it isnt all that. And it especially bad because the last 2 years teams have been pretty talented, and all of that has been wasted because of inconsistant coaching.

You can get all the statistics, and beat off to them if you want because that’s what everyone here loves to do. But I ain’t. Those advanced metrics are pretty cool and all that but it all comes down to who plays cleaner, and who makes the least amount of mistakes. I have been watching the Eagles since he got here and before, and it seems to me that we don’t play the kind of football you need to win championships.

Little things are really important. For instance when Washburn was flipping out at Morningwig on the sideline during the 1st quarter of the NE game. Why in the world would you have your teaming bombs away against the Patriots? Especially because our defense has been consistently inconsistant. It makes no sense, add to that the fact that Shady McCoy has been a star… Blowing leads; poor coaching; no existent tackling; train rec of clock management throughout his tenure; not paying DJAX and then signing Vince young, Ronnie brown, Steve Smith for more than enough to give DJAX. These are the little things, and frankly AR doesn’t
Do enough in these areas to make himself a better coach. I know this to be true because every year the same shit happens over and over, and the teams that stick with the little things and do them better beat us.

Look at the 49ers, same team, better coach and they are doing really good playing traditional football. The pats won all their championships and the Steelers and the Colts, won by doing traditional stuff. Running the ball, no mistakes, making some big plays, being balanced shit like that. Stuff we don’t do here.

I swear all of you are AR family members because all of my friends from Philly that I know don’t want no more seasons with this clown. It must be something in that natural spring well water in the suburbs that make you guys get all hit and bothered about advanced statistics and AR.

by topcat6 on Jan 3, 2012 2:24 AM EST up reply actions  

But in todays NFL, defense isn’t quite as important if you have a great offense. Look at the Packers and Patriots. Honestly, if the Eagles didn’t have 37 turnovers, this team would be in the playoffs, even with their defense.

Why would you throw bombs away against the Patriots? Because their defense is HORRIBLE, and they have Tom Brady. Enough said. The Pats haven’t won it since 2004, and the Colts had Manning.

And it sounds like you need new friends.

here's what Lurie's gonna say:

"I’ve learned what it’s like to be alone and…I think I’m in love with you." She says this last part quickly, forcing it out…
…a flood of reality. I get an odd feeling that this is a crucial moment in my life and I’m startled by the suddenness of what I guess passes for an epiphany. There is nothing of value I can offer her. For the first time I see Juan as uninhabited; he seems stronger, less controllable, wanting to take me into a new and unfamiliar land – the dreaded uncertainty of a totally different world. I sense she wants to rearrange my life in a significant way – his eyes tell me this and though I see truth in them, I also know that one day, sometime very soon, she too will be locked in the rhythm of my insanity. All I have to do is keep silent about this and not bring it up – yet he weakens me, it’s almost as if he’s making the decision about who I am, and in my own stubborn, willful way I can admit to feeling a pang, something tightening inside, and before I can stop it I find myself almost dazzled and moved that I might have the capacity to accept, though not return, his love. I wonder if even now, right here in the Novacare Complex, he can see the darkening clouds behind my eyes lifting. And though the coldness I have always felt leaves me, the numbness doesn’t and probably never will. This relationship will probably lead to nothing…this didn’t change anything. I imagine him smelling clean, like tea…
When I find the strength to look back at him, it strikes me how useless, boring, physically beautiful he really is, and the question Why not end up with him? floats into my vision.

The first Drauschak.

How could a team be in the top ten for ALL OFFENSIVE CATEGORIES and only have a .500 season? Either we need some major drafting help on “D” or Juan Castillo needs to leave.

37 Turnovers. That’s it. Turnovers are the biggest differential in the NFL.

laurie doesn't sound happy though

he clearly stated his dissatisfaction with the results of the season. i think juan is getting demoted for sure from what everything sounded like, even if he did say he’s leaving it up to andy he used some context clues pointing in that direction. he clearly brought up playing weak competition the last 4 games and that they didn’t mean much.

by phillyfan330 on Jan 3, 2012 3:03 PM EST up reply actions  

I noticed that too

And I also feel that we will be having a new d-coordinator next year.
