Andy is an ignorant person who works in an organization that is very disliked and not respected by the fans— shawnmac- Disliked? They sell out every game! Andy Reid wins every year. If you really hate them as much as you always say, there are plenty of other teams in the league. Carolina or the Browns would love to have you in their fan base.
— dapmman - Thank heavens we have shawnmac to speak for the entire fan base.— incinerator
- yes, truly, another breath of fresh manure...— eagledon
- I quote Mr. Banner.....if you keep doing the same thing year after year and expect a different result...you are....FIRED....
- ....and the media loves Andy....including Mr. Hayes and Mr. Ford..they can't get enough GO PHILLIES...at least they won a championship..
- The eagles will never win anything until Reid is gone. Lurie doesn't care about winning as long as he's making millions off us sheep. They are my 4th favorite team in the city (yes, the sixers are ahead of them) and even though I hate soccer I might like the union better than the eagles. It's sad what this once proud franchise has become.
- I'm sure Lurie cares about winning---who would actually WANT to lose?---but yes, making money is his number one priority. And why shouldn't it be? He's a businessman, he bought the Eagles as a business to grow, make profits and make him richer than he ever was. What would you care more about if you were the owner? — Eilex826
- Winning. But thats because I'm a fan of the team. He's from Hollywood, he doesn't have a personal stake in the team. If I had enough money already....enough to buy a team....winning would be my priority. Instead he stands behind a guy who thinks he knows more than anybody else and couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag.
- That's all fine and good to say as a fan but I doubt you'd follow through if you actually did own the team. Why? Because if you or I came into enough money to buy the Eagles it would be done through either hard work or inheritance---coming into that much money cannot be attributed to luck. If you worked that hard to make a Billion dollars you wouldn't sacrifice it just to win. And you don't know that spending more money and turning your franchise into a loser (financially) would turn it into a winner. YOu don't know that firing Andy Reid and bringing in a new coach would translate into a SB. Who would you bring in? Cowher? His record is worse than Andy's...what's got 15 years coaching in the league with one title, one in his next-to-last year? Gruden? The guy who couldn't get over the hump in Oakland, then inherited Tony Dungy's defense in Tampa and then beat his former team when he knew the playbook? And hasn't won anything since? Two winners there.
If you're so sick of losing now and think Andy Reid is the worst coach in football...do you remember what it was like before he got here? Do you remember Rich Kotite, Ray Rhoades and company?— Eilex826 - If that's what you think Mr. Sheep. Don't go to the bloody games. — pigsofsunday
- The 2011 season: lose last two reg season games, finish 10-6, make the playoffs, lose in the first game by not running the football, passing 90% of the time in a close game while the defense gets hammered - all of this for a thrid straight year!!! Fat Boy is then rewarded with a 5 year contract extension, and Lurie and Banner raise tix prices!!!— MrBigDizzle
- The real question is: will the
Birds and Andy make the correct choices in the draft? Coaches are fine and changes are weird and fun but...if you do not have the skilled great players, no coach will help a team. We need good draft and trade choices to make the team great. Can Andy still do that???— Koons - Just curious...
When do we start signing our own free agents now that Vick is in the barn...I especially care about Jerome Harrison...and wonder who the Free agents are that we will actively go after— Bigmike 34 - It doesn't matter who the defensive coordinator is, until the players on defense are upgraded through drafting or free agency, there will not be a measurable improvement from the defense's results. The fans have grown weary of Reid and Banner because they keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Good offense sells tickets, but good defense wins championships. Until the Eagles defense improves, a Super Bowl coming to Philly isn't happening anytime soon.— RunningTheBases
