    The Philadelphia Eagles will never win a Super Bowl with Andy Reid and Mcnabb. They are not winners, Mc Nabb is a good QB, but not a great QB. I believe his stats, team records fool the average fan. When it counts most he fails every time. Examples, look back to the Super Bowl he lost and the many over-throws during last years NFC Championship game. McNabb is not a winner, he has no heart. Andy Reid allows McNabb to think otherwise. Reids play calling for years has been horrible. He needs to go. I say again "THE EAGLES WILL NEVER WIN A SUPERBOWL WITH REID AND MCNABB!!!!!". Put Kolb and Vick in the game sit Mcnabb the rest of the year and let him go after the season. One other thing the Eagles have got to stop doing, Stop trading/releasing our top LB's, CB's, we suck in those areas this year and it will show the rest of the season.

    This team looks like it is waiting for its O-Line to get together. Hope they don't wait too long, because with the pick up of Witherspoon, this defense is much better and our special teams are pretty darn good too. This could be the year if the O_line can get more consistent.

    andy said he challenges based on information provided to him by his staff...well, based on the 2 challenges and waste of 2 time-outs, he may want to reconsider who is providing him with information.

    QB accuracy, a game plan that is adjustable, a sepa.rate offensive coordinator, and a Coach that manage the game time so we don't run out of time outs when they are neeeded.

    Don't worry, everyone. Andy Reid will do a better job because he accepts full responsibility for that.

    Typical performance from the team that says they are the "gold standard". Seems to me the only thing the Eagles have in common with gold is that their pricing keeps going up and they are as hard headed as ever! Reminded me of the Kotite days: beginning of the fourth quarter and not a single time out left! At least those teams knew how to tackle!

    More of the same old story and I am sure Andy will accept blame for this as he always did in the past.

    Bad game plan, bad time management and I am tired of Reid taking the responsibility and not taking any actions on Fokou and Andy and McNabb lousy performance.

    Well I am very critical about a lot of things from Sunday night but the reality is that we have a young team and a lot of injuries. They committed some really stupid penalties, did a horrible job in deciding plays to challenge and really didn't seem to have a good game plan from the start. I blame a good majority of these issues on coaching. Andy Reid and his cronies should be on the hot seat...

    I see a team that is having growing pains an O-line that had Herramans at Tackle,Cole Guard other side Andrews guard(stacy),and Justice right Tacle.On D I saw Foukou Seventh Round rookie starting,Witherspoon three weeks in the system at MLB and Safety position not solidified.Now add no Westbrook and skill players of age 21,21,20,24,26 We were ahead 13-10 and lost 20-16. Held a guy that had 482 yds in three games to one catch and Witten and the running game of dallas to not much and the coach and cronies have to go.If the O-line was who we anticipated playing and the defense was totally intact I'd say yes.But right now we can get better and healthy and go on a run for the playoffs.Iwould like to see Kolb with intact line and these weopons.#00 yds passing would be nice again.

About Rich Hofmann
Rich Hofmann arrived at the Daily News in 1980 for a job whose status was officially designated as "full-time, temporary." A senior at Penn at the time, he was hired to fill in on the copy desk during a staff illness. The notion of him covering the Eagles or being a columnist did not exist in anyone's imagination. It was supposed to be six weeks and out, but he never left. It is only one of the reasons why so many people have concerns about him as a potential house guest. Rich has blogged the postseasons of the Flyers and Eagles. E-mail Rich at hofmanr@phillynews.com
