Reid puts Eagles jobs on the line
Andy Reid lit into the Eagles Wednesday at the morning meeting and let everyone know that not only was the season on the line, there were jobs on the line. Unspoken, of course, is that his will eventually be one of them if this sort of play keeps up. Long before he goes, however, a whole lot of players who disappoint him will find the door. Reid's address to the team was followed quickly by a players-only meeting called by safety Brian Dawkins, who is the team leader by default, even though his place on the field isn't as dominant as it once was. "Hopefully, everything got through," said Dawkins, who has been around too long to think meetings are a silver bullet. "We'll see. Talking only goes so far." It might be too little, too late, and it might be - here's the ugliest thought - that the Eagles are playing as well as they can with the talent they have. Reid doesn't buy it, though, and he put the hay down where the cows could get it, as Buddy Ryan liked to say.

Sad to say it because I have been an Andy fan since the beginning, but he has lost this team, It isn't Andy Reids problem to solve anymore, it's Jeffrey Luries problem to solve.

The biggest problem is playcalling, especially on offense. I don't care what Andy Reid has done for the team in the past. He's not guiding us in the right direction now, so fire him.

The team is better when Westbrook is healthy. You would think Reid would get a big back to share the load with Westbrook. So every year it seems Westbrook has an injury and offensive productivity slips.

Play calling is as much an art as it is a analytical process. It appears andy Reid has last both. And when McNabb is feeling good and is on, he is one of the best. When he is down, he lookks like a HS JV QB. And you never know who is showing up on any Sunday- witness the Dallas game versus the Cinn. game. As much as I reeally like both Andy and McNabb, I think it may be time for a change.

Okay, so players should blame other players and coaches should blame other coaches, or should everyone just blame the owner? LOL

So sick of Andy Reid's playcalling!!! I am somewhat torn of wanting them to win games, but that might just keep him around for another year and if they lose games, that will add more fuel to the fire of getting rid of him. His lack of committment to the running game and not using Buckhalter, as well as all the way to him of not being creative and using Donovan's ability to run with the ball is pitiful!! Give Donovan another year with a "play calling balanced coach" and you will see a difference.

Sounds like they need to clean house and retool the whole operation.

If it was a Mcnabb vs. Reid choice that would be a no brainer...Mcnabb goes or both. I vote McNabb goes and they start rebuilding the offense from there.

Brian Dawkins not dominant? This article is clearly to be taken with a grain of salt.

The players jobs are on the line? What about Reid's job? It should be put up or shut up time for him as well....This team was put together by Reid....if he's overevaluating the talent he's put on this team, then someone else has to evaluate the talent that is brought in....His version of the west coast offense isn't working because the players. Andy should NO longer be GM....and GET RID OF THE DINNER MENU he hold in front of his face during games....that script has run its course and has become VERY stale in the NFL....Where's our "Jason Garrett"-type offensive play caller? This team needs a facelift in the playbook and in the way it's run.

But the Eagles are the "Gold Standard" of NFL teams...the model for the rest of the league. Does this mean we'll have to wait for another regime to come in, rebuild, and then attempt to win a Super Bowl? Last year we had to watch the Giants win another one...who's next to win one before the birds? 'Skins? 'Boys? Cards? 5 is fat anyway.
