Reid: 'We'll be ready'
The Eagles are heading back to Dallas next weekend after getting blanked 24-0 by the Cowboys and squandering their chance to win the NFC East and earn a first-round bye.
The Cowboys won the division, earned the third seed and will host the Eagles in a rematch.
"We’ll be ready," a terse coach Andy Reid said after the game.
"They were a better football team all the way around, offense, defense and special teams … We have to go back to the drawing board and make sure we get things right for this next game here."
"I didn’t think it was a lack of effort. It goes back to putting the players in the right position and when they are in the right positions to make the plays. Maybe a little bit too much effort, maybe to relax a little bit."
Reid said the Eagles were going to try to "learn from their mistakes and do better the next time."
The coach was asked about going for a David Akers field goal, trailing by 17-0.
"I would like to have gotten some points there."
On the injury front, Reid said DeSean Jackson tweaked his groin but was "feeling all right."
Michael Vick was again inactive with a quad strain, but Reid said he did not have any setback leading into the game.
"We had a couple of things with him this week and decided to pull back there," Reid said.
What happened to Comcast's post game show? Very disappointed that in the most important game of the year, Comcast screwed up.— fischman- Sounds like the team was content on losing this game and didn't prepare to win, just maybe not lose. I don't get it.— awl
- Nobody is saying it yet, but next week is probably McNabb and Westbrook's last game as Eagles. The end of an era. Welcome Kevin KOLB.— Corey301
- Pathetic, again.— rebekah
- Reid: 'We'll be ready'..ahhhahhhahhh— easy
- Corey301: McNabb's last game as an Eagle is next week? Apparently you don't know what's going on around here.— p-diddy
- Vick time in Dallas!!!— gffius
- Pew.— Manny-Mann
Comment removed.- Learn from the mistakes like clock management, timeout usage; oh wait, I guess we're just slow learners.
- Once again the "Big Game" Reid and McNabb come up short! They had a chance to earn a bye and a 2nd round home playoff game and screwed it up yet again...Mr Laurie and Mr Banner better realize that the Eagles loss just cost them millions in revenue for a home playoff game. I think by hitting them in the pocket, is the only way they'll make any chances around that place! Laurie and Banner ALWAYS make decisions based on $$$$, make one know and give McNabb the boot!— TheFirstStateVinman
Horrible McNabb showed up this week. Hope the good one shows up next week.— Richard Saunders- Always the same Andy Reid: blah blah blah & promises, then keeps screwing up. Not that it's entirely his fault. Eagles did seem content to lose, awl.— Joyful
- Sean McDermott is wayyyy over his head!!!!!!!!!!1— Jazz607
- 5...3.....3.....0, what is more likely this year #6 for the girls or #1 for the Eagles...Catchers and pitchers in a month.— zonaindie2
