Reid: 'I did a terrible job'
Daily News staff
Eagles coach Andy Reid took responsibility for his team's 27-6 loss Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals.
"They played better than we did," Reid said. "Clearly better. Coached better, they played better. That’s my responsibility.
"I didn’t have my football team ready to play. They did. My hat’s off to them.
"I have to get my football team ready to play. I did a terrible job this week."

Ray Horton was like Jim Johnson reborn. Miss those JJ "blitz the hll out of the other team and leave them in a shambles" defensive plans something awful.— Grazman- This is a bad, bad football team. Barely beat an NCAA team week 1 and got absolutely pulverized by a seemingly innocuous Arizona team today. I guess they showed some semblance of being a competitive team last week but let's face it: they barely beat a Baltimore team coming off a Monday Night game in our home opener if not for a bad officiating call.
Our offense is totally inept with against a defense that has speed and linebackers/safeties that can cover the middle of the field. Our 6 foot nothing QB and midget WRs stand no chance of maintaining consistent drives.
To add insult to injury we were completely out-maneuvered by D-coordinator Ray Horton today. Oh yeah, the guy who was hired a week after we hired an offensive line coach to be our D-Coordinator. This would all be funny if it weren't revolving around the laughing stock of the NFC East - the only one that has never sniffed a Lombardi Trophy.
I'm sure the lapdogs such as TNEaglesFan and his brethren will tell us how this is just one loss and the 49ers lost to a bad Vikings team and on any given Sunday...yadda yadda yadda.
But I guess when your franchise is the epitome of NFL mediocrity the only thing you can grasp onto is rationalizations and excuses as a replacement for actual consistent results and progress.
Sadly there are still people in this town who are afraid to lose Andy Reid and Howie Roseman because they don't think they can be adequately replaced. LOL.
By the way, none of our rookies would even sniff the top 12 in NFL Rookie of the Year so far through the first 20% of the season - especially after their dreadful performance today.— guyguy4 - ah dont be so hard yourself andy! it was the usual— stayoutofphilly
Man that Cards D is no joke...that being said, another early season game that leaves ya scratching your head.
Anyways; we're now 2-1, got NY at home next week, and have a real opportunity to send an early-season statement to the rest of the NFC East in that giant's game...AR, time yours.- a couple of things..when i saw on the first series they were three straight pass plays..first thing out my mouth its back to being pass heavy and this is a game we are gonna lose. did anyone notice the cardinals linebackers playing and cheating inside which gave them the edge..and they didnt figure that out until the 4th quarter and started running on the edge..while the game is out of reach i might add. u saw the cardinals strength is against the pass when they played the patriots yet they passed almost every down..while vick is turnover prone u saw the great tom brady get hammered..did the coaching staff even look at that game..i mean sheesh..u have to have balance..notice all of reids qbs get hurt alot. mcnabb, kolb, vick. he is a qb killer i swear..its time for reid to go its tiring seeing a pass happy offense..if ur qb is off and ur receivers arent getting open why do u keep calling pass? i agree with a article jason whitlock wrote about reid on fox sports. reid is a moron..i dont care how many playoff and regular season games he won. he is the weak link. one play in particular made me decide that reid is a idiot. it was a penalty on the cardinals for holding and there was a sack on the play..if the penalty was declined it would have been 3rd and 24..dummy accepted the penalty and it was 2nd and 26..why would u give a team two cracks at picking up the first down for 2 freaking yards! smh..and fitzgerald almost got it too. this coach is clueless. i dont think this team is going to be bad..the players will win more games in spite of reid not because of him, i really hope this is his last year..i cant take this bad coaching anymore..i understand players are the ones that play the game and have to execute, but when u have a clueless set of offensive coaches, they doom the players. i used to back reid but not anymore..i never seen such bad coaching like this in quite awhile.— bigjay215

P-H-I-L-L-I_E_S! PHILLIES!
- Why the heck is Vick under center for the 3 plays at the end of the half, especially after you chose not to run on the first play. After that EVERYONE knows the next play will be a pass so put him in the shotgun so that he doesn't have to waste time backpeddling. Wow, Reid was back to his old self today.— firegreggross
- How come this keeps happening? When there are six seconds left in the half, you have to throw a slant or fade, and you have to do it right away of throw the ball away. Why does our QB always hold the ball as if he has all the time in the world? I mean, what happened down there has happened so many times over the last 10 years I've lost count. This is about as fundamental a football play as there is.— dblankj
Comment removed.- Let's just call it like it is, Andy. The game has passed you by. The band shifted tempo a while back but you're still hearing and dancing a waltz tempo. Sorry but you and your staff are not even close to being on the beat.— Claudio Vernight
- Time for the hook. There is absolutely no excuse for bad preparation - and this isn't the first time. As for in game decisions, I am convinced that Reid may be the only coach who OUTSMARTS himself time and time again. I really believe the guy is stupid. He makes the same mistakes over and over again expecting different results. By some lights that is a definition of insanity.— ADever
- The combination of a coach who is horrible at play calling and time management, paired with a QB who is too dumb to read a defense or recognize a blitz is not a good one. When I see Manning throw an INT (or even a TD) he goes to the sidelines and studies photos of what the defense was showing him to LEARN for next time. Vick goes back and sits on the bench with a blank stare on his face. I have had enough of both of these fools.— sdoc
- YES YOU DID, PLEASE BENCH YOURSELF! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE OF A GAME
- Every human being is entitled to make a mistake..that's acceptable.
What seperates the intelligent and smart from the moronic, stupid and unexecusable is those that continue to make the same mistake over and over thinking they will get a different result.
So it is with Vick, Reid and Marty.
Vick himself has said he needs to throw the ball away more when it's not there. He also said he needs to slide more and stop taking hits.
Well you saw it now for 3 weeks in a row. Put Vick squarely in the same mistake over and over category..unintelligent and just plain dumb.
He may win a game with his feet..he may even win you a game with his arm..but Vick will never, ever, win you a game with his head.
Reid and Marty.. well, they've been in that category for years.
predictable, inflexible, unadaptable and have kept their jobs despite underperforming for years. Wish I could get away with that.
12 T.O.'s and the 2nd most penalized team in the league tells you
just how undiciplined this team really is. And that my friends is squarely on the coaches. (BTW, the same with Laviolette. over rated, over paid underperformer)
All 3 need to go..the sooner the better..— dedhed - Laviolette isn't over rated, they obviously made a mistake handing the LA Kings the cup through bartering their own talent....two finesse teams the Niners and Rams win with the West Coast Passing...ALL the others play power football. The West Coast offense only works with heady QB's. — John Dealoni
