'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 - The Beagles were never going to be competitive in this game.
Here's the bottom line for you Beagles goons. There is the upper echelon of NFL teams that includes the Packers, the Patriots, the Steelers. Then there's the second tier of above average teams which includes the Cowboys, the 49ers, the Ravens, Bears, Giants. Then there's a whole bunch of average teams. Then there's the massively overrated but vastly under-talented teams like the Beagles. The entire Beagles organization and the fanbase suffers from delusions of grandeur. There's this sense of entitlement with Beagles fans. Being a cellar dweller is appropriate for this low class organization with the lowest class of fans in the world. Enjoy losing!— taxmanndumbeth - B-E-A-G-L-E-S! Beagles! Woof! Woof!— Nihilist
- Coaching, specifically Reid and Castillo, are 90% responsible for this mess. This is a team that went 10-6 last year and added half an all star team. How does that compute to 4-7? Coaching.— bobbyd24
- And the truth prevails...nice run eagles, but we knew this was coming— BirdofPray
Comment removed.- The Eagles play like an undisciplined, unruly mob.— Chief_Negotiator
- This is pitiful, a disgrace, reminds me of Rhodes and Kotite's last year in Philly.
Fatty will be fired the day after the season ends? I can't see Lurie
evading it any longer with their definition of insanity over there
at Novacare. Just like at Andy's face, that should sum it up insanity right there!— mikey48 - Comment removed.
- These guys looked like they gave up at halftime, and I wouldn't pay DJax 10 cents after that terrible performance today! Reid must go!!!!!!!!!— madaboutit

- "Patroits using a WR on defense and he is playing better then our defensive players." That quote is hilarious. I thought the exact same thing: he tackles and covers better than all our so called DBs???— mikey48

- Andy outcoached again by Bill Belichick. Just plain ridiculous. You have one of the best running backs in the league and you decide to throw it as usual. I think Belichick probably uses themsame defensive game plan everytime he plays us. The fat man has sung-time to go Andy!!!!— Beefcake2358
- TheCuz TBrad show the Eagles D what a Real QB is. You are a complete fool. My nephew covered the nfl for 9 years and said the most conceited arrogant creep on the face of the earth was your god TBrad. Of course I am sure you love that wonderful god in the White House too.— rich729
