Mclane=Spadaro: The ship is sinking...Tell the band to keep playing!— outta work- Are You Sure This Is A Site For Eagles Fans It Sure Seems Nobody Backs The Team Just Alot Of Whining And Complaining Like You Can Do Better.....smh— PayBizzy
- @chucksf the d did let us down we did have 4th q leads that disappeared faster than you could blink. But i still agree with you eliminating turnovers would've increased the win total by 2-3— PayBizzy
- Does everyone now understand why we need new ownership? Lurie is an idiot to allow this to go on and on.
Until we have a new owner it's groundhog day.— Lil Ratman - If we could have just eliminated turnovers...if we could have just made better draft pics...if Henery didn't miss those field goals...if Maclin didn't drop that pass...
Stop people! This was an "all-in" season and they went out and went 4-8 (in the worst division in football) when the games mattered. Stop making excuses for this regime! Get real! This team would lose 10 out of 10 times to the Patriots and 9 out of 10 times to the Packers and you excuse makers are okay with status quo. How brainwashed are you?— guyguy4 - I will comment on the article and not rehash the drivel of most of the negative burger flippers on this site....Good move--shows a willingness to bring in an outside perspective to improve an area that should have been a strength. Address the deficiencies at Linebacker and Safety and the Defense will be excellent. The Defense did not commit 38 turnovers and put the offense in untenable situations or take a sure 3 points off the board (10 times by my count) in the red zone. Are you fans or meat puppets for 97.5 and WIP? Shady will get 25 touches a game, the Iggles will go 13-3, and finally win the Super Bowl 31-17 over the Texans. As Donald Sutherland's character, Oddball, in Kelly's Heroes said: "Have a little faith baby, have a little faith!"— IdahoMoose
- status quo, thats Reids way, you had to know this was comin, one more yesr and thats it. Pray for a bad year and we will finally see some changes.— krautmef1
- I don't blame Juan. If you give a monkey a gun, and the monkey shoots someone, you don't blame the monkey. At this point, it's all on FatAndy.— techdiver
- Hey PayBizzy, At least you are a real Eagles fan and give reasonable comments. Yes, the Eagles lost 4 forth quarter leads, but in all of those games the offense did not score any TDs to help out the team. Either the offense could not move the ball or they lost it on turnovers. I still say that Vick and the offense were the real problems and the real reason that the Birds did not make the playoffs, and are not in the SB. All the dummys are just blamng the Defense and making stupid comments. I actually think, that all the dumb guys that comment about Andy's weight, are really FAT!— chucksf
- The only reason Juan is back is because no other quality D coordinator would take the job knowing Andy will surely be fired after next season.— vinnybravo
- Actually... no other D coordinator would be "willing" to come work at Anger Management University. They'd be crazy to agree deal with laugh track that presents its self as passionate fan base. HA - delusional bile!
"Monkeys and Fat Boy...", how about you kids hop down out of your high chairs and ask Mommy for your Sippy cup!
Haters Hate, that's what they do. That's all that they do!— Laughingaloud123 - a bill dollar business allowed a DC TO OJT--AND THEN EXPECT TO WIN IT ALL LAST YEAR--THEY ARE ALL A BUNCH OF COOL AIDE DRINKERS--IT DID NOT PASS THE COMMON SENSE TEST...— carmen2
- No problem giving JC another chance. Never thought he was getting axed and said so. This will either work and all the haters will eat crow or it won't and Reid will be gone which is what most of you want anyway. Doesn't make sense to get another DC at this point anyway. Another system, more learning curve, more upheaval, lost season anyway perhaps...so in the end it really makes no difference...at least to me. Seems to me I recall lots of jealous screaming on this site when Dallas hired Rob Ryan, a thoroughly qualified DC who really excelled in Dallas...oh wait...so even that route is no gaurantee.— tpizza
- "...Haters Hate, that's what they do. That's all that they do!"Laughingaloud123
Yup. We hate the Fat Guys arrogance. We hate the years of excuses. The thirteen years of this regime without a S.B. win. We hate not winning a playoff game in how many years now ? We hate paying a mediocre Q.B.(AT HIS BEST)that's too stupid to even know how to slide one hundred million dollars. Yeah, it's not my money, but it keeps the Eagles from spending it on someone decent. Like maybe a linebacker, safety or O-lineman. I could go on, but why ? Oh yeah, what else do we hate ? We hate a-holes like Laughingaloud123.

Castillo should have been offered a HC spot somewhere after leading his D to a TOP 8 ranking on the other side of 38 turnovers. Morningweg should be FIRED!— Dallasrulez
