'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.

Dream! Weaver Weaver Weaver Weaver Weaver Weaver Weaver Weaver...- mold, AR is def the architect, but he can't play for these guys. They seem to pick when and where they want to play.— Mark1npt
- didn't cowder have kordell stewart?— bag-of-donuts
- What the hell qualifies Roseman to be a GM?— Justaschmuck
- I've been chanting that for years.— Curse of Billy Penn
- Dog-Torturer karma coming home to roost !!— techdiver
- Where do you begin with this abortion of a game? All the 6th and 7th round draft picks (half the Team) sucked. The only player with a heartbeat (McCoy) was shut down by the boneheaded coach who only lives to eat and call pass plays. I agree "FIRE ANDY"!— younged
- Its all summed up by the failure of the coaching staff to feature the teams best player this year in Shady McCoy today. To not handoff the ball to MCCoy and try to control the clock when you are playing without a good defense and your leading pass catcher is just horrendous strategy. Andy, sad to say but the time is yours to leave..— bradco
- Fire Andy Reid now!!!!!!— Northphillydownsouth
- Just give him a cheeseburger and let him go!— greenie
- Even if a miracle takes place and Reid gets fired, Banner will never go, he's Lurie's best friend. Roseman is a junior Banner, so he's safe too.— DONDEN31
- Pretty evident that JJ carried Andy all these years. So the early draft picks that have been busts finally comes back to haunt the Birds. Time to clean house, spend the money on a quality coach and GM, start over. It's vital to draft quality playmakers on defense with SIZE.— beegal99
- I was there. There were at least 10,000 people chanting for Reid's head. He deserved every bit of it tonight and it is 5 years too late.— Bob1
- I could have puked when the camera was on Lurie - his disappointment in failing to turn the Iggs into the Patriots was obvious.— CrotchetyOldMan
