'Fire Andy' chants at the Linc
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
Fans in attendance at the Linc Sunday afternoon found a way to voice their frustration with head coach Andy Reid, chanting "Fire Andy" in the third quarter.
The Eagles had a 3rd-and-1 from the Patriots' 2 yard line, but LeSean McCoy got stuffed on a run to the right side. Down 31-13, the Eagles decided to go for it on fourth down. Vince Young faked a handoff and rolled to his right, before throwing incomplete to Brent Celek in the corner of the end zone.
That's when the chants broke out. They did not last long, as the Patriots' offense took over, but they were certainly audible, both at the Linc and on the CBS broadcast.
After the game, Reid said he didn't hear the chants, but allowed that he could understand them, given the way the Eagles played.
The 38-20 loss puts the Eagles at 4-7, three games behind the Cowboys in the NFC East with just five games to go.

- This is without a doubt the worst performance I've seen from the Eagles since the Seattle Monday Night game in 2005. This team has no defense, no heart and is poorly coached. Andy has absolutely lost this team. By the way, how can you only hand the ball off 7 times when you're facing a high powered offense??? Andy Reid is done. Fire him now.— philliesphan79
- I was an Eagles fan for many years, going back to the Shibe Park, Steve VanBuren days. 3 years ago I decided that I would not ever watch or attend another game until they got rid of the Worm Killer and the Fat Man. Half my wish came true; I'm still waiting for the other half. I've still got the Phillies and the Flyers (no one in their right mind follows the Sixers) I'd love to be an Eagles fan again - maybe this is the year! Today's loss should help.— Lance Carver M.D.
- How do Banner and Roseman get passes on this?
— MOJR - You're right, Andy is the front man but Banner and Roseman are just as much to blame — northeagle

- Absolutely pathetic. No intensity. Zone defense all night long against a quarterback who eats zones alive. Going for a low-percentage back of the end zone pass on fourth and inches instead of a quarterback sneak. Completely out-coached every time they play anyone with a brain. Please, Jeffrey, show that you really do want to win and fire him now.— andystimemachine
- If you had even a shred of football knowledge you'd have a job in the game. P.....A.....T.....S.............PATS! — taxmanndumbeth
- what makes this even worse than pathetic is that the patriots defense is awful.— bloodymess

BTW, even the Cardinals are better than the Beagles. LOL!— taxmanndumbeth - Hey you can watch them lose next week in Seattle too! Andy and the whole coaching staff needs to go. Patroits using a WR on defense and he is playing better then our defensive players.— slade1955
- I was watching the game in the Pacific Northwest. CBS pulled the game half way through the 4th quarter. Anouncer said, " we will now take you to a competetive game"
Hey Lurie, what you watched today was Bill and Tom aganist, Andy and Juan, in other words, gold standard aganist tin.— camasbud
