I agree, it's time for Reid to step aside. He's doing the same thing he's been doing since 03 - 04, but it's not new and other teams expect it now. The team needs to spend money and go after players they need, not busts.

And Ryan, why are you looking forward to a higher draft pick? They'll only blow it like every other time.

Keep #5, fire Reid, and pick up a receiver worth a damn!!!!
I was waiting for this

Ken - you know I'm a 5 hater so my comments are very skewed. But throwing two INT's directly into a defenders hand...thought I was watching Favre play

When you're only rushing 4 people because there is no running game going on, there isn't much a receiver can do to get open. Plus, why is LJ Smith still starting? Play calling blows, for sure, but McNabb could always check of the calls at the line. Right?

We have one of the best receiving cores this team has had since McNabb got here. Fact is, Iggles given their talent should be 7 wins right now and they aren't. Kinda feels like Dallas syndrome

Oh and true, we will piss away a draft pick as usual. We pick up Kolb only to let him sit on the bench to be traded away later. Hey...btw...when can we fire Shawn Andrews?

MD, a great summation of the Detriot Lions

As far as McNabb goes, once in a (long) while he looks & does great, but all too often it's followed by outings where he looks worse than a rookie with ADD - he's proven he can do it, but he can't do it with any consistancy (anymore?) - Philly deserves better

Got a hilarious email:

All the ties in the NFL since McNabb was born.. Most of which happened while he was playing ball.. Maybe he didn't watch the NFL because he was never great enough to make it... At least know the history of your team who apparently loves to tie at least once in each decade

2002 Atlanta 34, Pittsburgh 34
1997 N.Y. Giants 7, Washington 7

I heard that on espn last night... the thing about not knowing it could end in a tie. COME ON DONOVAN!?!?!? REALLY?!?!?!? He should be slapped upside the head for that.

Can he check the calls at the line, yes. Problem is, he's the only one on the team that probably respects Reid cause he's the kind of person that wants to make everyone happy. News flash... the fans are NOT happy.

No, there is no excuse for 2 INTs right to defenders, but I think this is one of those times where you can actually look at the coach on this one and not the players.

As for Andrews, get over it, everyone has issues. Strap the damn pads on and play football like you're paid to do. He's a good lineman too.

I think Vince Young and Shawn Andrews should go on DR PHIL.

I don't think it's been said any better....
Quote:
Longtime quarterback Donovan McNabb, Reid's first draft pick, will be headed out of town as the scapegoat for the Birds' failure.

And while McNabb's recent struggles have been detrimental to the cause, removing him won't dramatically improve things.

The Eagles' downfall is due to a system that has never respected the running game, even though history shows that is the way to Super Bowl titles.

The McNabb era failed to deliver a title because management thought it was terrific to draft a quarterback with the second overall pick, then refused to surround him with the superior skill players who would have helped him develop into a championship quarterback.

If Reid's philosophies remain the same, I can't see how heir apparent Kevin Kolb can succeed any more than McNabb.

I'd agree with most of that. The iggles are desperately in need of a real fullback and a REAL thunder running back. The team could also use a serious TE. I think the O-line and D-!!! are fine.

Also, Dawk needs to retire and become a secondary D coach.
