Fired Washburn had become a 'cancer' in Philly

This year, Santa is going to sit in the stands and throw batteries at the team with the fans.

I think the problem in Philly is just a wee bit deeper than the DL Coach....just a thought

Could have been a good move. Last night's game showed the Eagles can score but they can't stop anyone. Why teams draft running backs in the first round when there are players like Bryce Brown out there just waiting to be discovered is still beyond me.

Santa is a smart old dude

All according to Big Red's master plan... Start firing his staff in Philly before he gets the axe himself... This way he'll be able to put the band back together in Cleveland...

Andy is starting to sound like obama--- blame everyone but yourself....

The biggest positive takeaway, in my opinion: Maybe they have some potential at QB. The kid didn't play badly at all.

Agreed. Looks like Foles has gotten over his rookie jitters and is playing relaxed and with confidence. That should mean adios to Vick. But it probably also means a tougher game at the end of the season for my Giants.

Put Jackson and McCoy back in the mix along with a healthy o-line and the Eagles offense is pretty solid. Their o-line was pretty good last season when they were all healthy. This job should be enticing for any upper tier coaching candidate. There's a ton of talent in Philly, the biggest challenge is to get them all back on the same page. Right now, I'm not even sure they are reading the same book.

Castillo is gone, Washburn is gone, Mudd is retiring, Big Red is at the buffet having his last meal, April is a goner as is Bowles, Morninweg and most of the rest of the coaching staff. The biggest mistake the Eagles made last year was not hiring Steve Spagnolo as DC when he was available.

Andy has been and is taking the blame. The order to fire Washburn came from up above. Maybe you should listen to Reid's press conferences instead of posting random nonsense.

Reid bringing his felon addict son to NFL camp was his worst move ever, Andy should have been fired this past training camp after the heroin overdose and death of his son in the NFL camp's dorm room.

In your rush to judge, did you ever think perhaps he brought his son there to try to keep an eye on him ?

What do you expect from someone who claims to be from "Ghettomania, DC"??? I just hope for the sake of mikeMack that he never has to bury his child then return to his high pressure job under a microscope...

Is anybody else getting tired of Andy Reid's act? This nasty arrogant guy keeps firing other people in a pitiful attempt at saving his job. Rumor has it that he may be headed to Dallas, which would be another in the long line of stupid moves by Jerry Jones if it happens.

They're coming for you Andy. You are the ultimate firing, coming at years end, if they can even wait that long.

Firing Big Red before season's end is pointless. And I really can't see Jeff Lurie dumping Reid before the end of the year. It's unlikely that Reid's successor is on the current staff and with all that he's been through this year, firing him before the end of the season serves no purpose.

Reid is gone at the end of the season and he knows it. I can see Lurie allowing Reid to resign rather than fire him. It would be a forced resignation if it were to happen that way, but a resignation none the less. If Reid refuses to resign, then Lurie will fire him. Either way, there will be a new Head Coach in Philly for 2013.

Well, if you root for the Eagles and Reid is a terrible coach, then Reid going to the Cowboys should be a good thing, shouldn't it?? Just askin'.

Reid is running out of scapegoats

They will wait he has earned that, its just a shame they have been so bad. Also if he goes now its Marty Morningway and he sticks too.

Spags wouldn't come here because of the stupid wide 9 defense thats why Catsillo got the job. I mean hell Dick Jaron who has done a good job in Houston (I believe) was here he didn't want the job and why you ask? The Wide 9!
