'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.

Report card: Grade the Eagles' performance
Buy Eagles tickets - Can't see where you would call Avant a real pro. He dropped several balls today as well. Guess he was still thinking about all the bandwagon jumpers he didn't want around.Jackson gets some blame, but, face it, Reid lied to him about redoing his contract. Not sure if I'd want to give my all for a coach who didn't keep his word and can't copach anyway.
— mike l - I am appalled and bereft. But this is a team of mercenaries, not men. And it is a sport whre you have to play for more than yourself to truly succeed. So, after eleven games, this team is truly done. We are the new deadskins.— barcelona fan
Comment removed.- pack a suitcase of cheesesteaks for Andy, Juan, Howie & Joe Banner and BRING IN BILL COWDER for NEXT YEAR— bag-of-donuts
Right now I would welcome the sight of Donny Mac puking all over the field...
I still think the Birds will make the playoffs!- Andy didn't drop the 2 TDs in the end zone...DeStupid did.....Andy didn't blow all those tackles...the LBs and the secondary did....Andy didn't overthrow or underthrow wide open receivers, VY did. I hate his playcalling, his clock management and his inability to adapt on the fly when other teams make changes to counter his gameplan, but AR didn't lose this game today. For the life of me, I just can't figure out how WRs keep getting downfield past our stellar secondary.— Mark1npt
- Reid is the architect. These are his players and they are in his system. — mold1103

- Andy and his staff have to go. They do not know how to fix this team and it is time for someone else to coach this team. Howie needs to go also. Two bad drafts in a row. We need people who can find talent. All Howie does is trade down. We have no impact players from his 2 drafts.— zeke128
- as of right now can do no worst then 14th pick in the draft! Can probably flip that for an extra #2 and two #6 to build depth in the secondary and o-line!— Phred615
- Sackbutt says its time for Lardbutt to go.— Sackbutt
- Not so fast "bag-of-donuts"
One of the requirements for Cowher to coach a team is an elite QB.
Who would that be? Kafka?
- Please, no more articles about how we're technically and mathmatically still alive to make the playoffs! Thank You!!— Geno D
- The worst part of this latest loss was having to listen to Andy say once again that he needs to do a better job. Face it Mr. Lurie he doesn't know how!— fanup
