- What did Greg Lewis do to Andy Reid to stay on this team? He may be the worst R in the league and he continues to pull a pay check from this team!— Barndog
- Did Juqua Thomas change his name to Parker or is this a different Juqua?— bcsk
same juqua- Hey fudgy if you think that this not news then why comment? By commenting and saying its keeping people stupid then you must be stupid by nature to keep commenting. How can they not keep McDougle when two DE's are hurt? And I agree with Barndog how is Greg Lewis still on this team? Must have pictures or something on Andy.— lcd24
- McDougle hasn't done anything in his time here, even with the year off when he was shot. He was another high Reid draft pick who didn't pan out. Aside from McNabb, Reid's better at picking later in the draft.— mike l
- G Loo made the team because he continues to make plays on the field. People can say what they want about G loo not being good but the guy catches pretty much everything thrown his way.— Phillydave
- Looks about right. One of the fullbacks will make the practice squad. The Birds are locked and loaded Karma wise, no players cut should have made the squad. Can they actually start the season strong this year? The T Blow year is the only year I remember them winning the first game or starting the season on a roll except Pickle juice year. Andy, lose some weight dude, we want to keep you around. 3 bills you weighing now?— MidGreen

- Five years if McDoug was enough. What is Considine doing on the team still, just for the entertainment value of watching him get run over by everybody, including punters?— fmandy

- Sean Considine? I know the team needs special teams players but, really, Sean Considine? Again?— 5280philly

- Just wanted to comment on some things. McDougle didn't contribute anything the last several years. It was time for him to move on. As for comments about Greg Lewis, he always made BIG catches, albeit, few catches. Remember the Superbowl? Also, this coaching staff underuses Hank Baskett. He can go up and get the ball and needs to be in there in the Red Zone. Give him a chance.— Southern0160
