Is Reid done after Eagles loss?

The Eagles season is over.
Will Andy Reid's tenure in Philadelphia be next?
The Eagles reached rock bottom with an utterly uninspiring 21-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in which they failed to hold onto a fourth quarter lead for the fifth time this season. They now own a 3-6 record and have almost no shot of reaching the playoffs.
Based on the way Reid's team has played for mos of the season they have no shot. Quarterback Michael Vick was wretched for the second straight game. Juan Castillo's defense was soft. DeSean Jackson was benched for missing a team meeting on Saturday.
Has there ever been a team with so many expectations that failed to live up to them?

So true, Vick is an embarrassment to Philadelphia - bad, bad kharma. Why did we hire a dog killer anyway? Oh, yeah, I forgot, we just don't understand the culture.— amyphilly- Way to go, Dream Team!! You will never learn, you build through the Draft.— ssmith996
- Over 300 yards passing by Arizona. It's hard to believe the Eagles D could be swoooooooo bad!— 4thand10
- Fire Reid and Castillo now! We can't get any worse.— jojo57
- Djax caused his own benching by breaking team rules. Marty forgot how to use Shady. That is a failing philosophy.— palmyra21
- Amyphilly, you're a dog killer.— phillyinATL
- Funny - ha, ha. — amyphilly
- One word : Pathetic !— byrdwoman
- please let him go before the next draft— boppa2
- Tebow is a better QB than Vick. Hilarious.— 2smart4philly
- KEEP MCCOY, FIND 3 LINEBACKERS WHO CAN ACTUALLY TACKLE, FIND A QB WHO CAN SEE HIS RECEIVERS AND START THE BLEEP OVER WITH NEW COACHING STAFF
— DONDEN31 - Ah, the banshee wails from the east, do I hear 'em once again? Yes, I do! Gang, like it or not, Reid is not going to be fired; I really don't see it. Possibly Castillo will be relieved of some of his duties, i.e., play-calling. Johnny Lynn, ex-Def. Coord. is on the staff, why not?
But this is Andy Reid's World, so don't expect changes, don't expect firings and don't expect Lurie to do anything either.— MidStaterUXB - AMYPHILLY, GET OVER IT. GIVEN A CHOICE BETWEEN VICK OR SANDUSKY, I'LL TAKE VICK EVERY DAY, AT LEAST HE DIDN'T HURT PEOPLE— DONDEN31
- Vick vs. Tebow. Tebow has won as many games as the Eagles have all season. At least Big Red thinks that Castillo is a fine DC. Absolutely horrendous.— yooble
- turn out the light,the season's oh-verr!!!this game was atrocious and unbearable to watch..no fire,no urgency,no nothing against a team they should annilhate??? this is all about the coach,he sets the tempo and todays tempo was f flat...will someone,anyone give me a cogent reason why reid shouldn't be fired monday??? any reason at all??? wake the eff up lurie and do what you have to do..this season has been a total and absolute disgrace and no matter where you point the finger it all comes back to reid..— jabac
