Reid: 'I did a terrible job'
Daily News staff
Eagles coach Andy Reid took responsibility for his team's 27-6 loss Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals.
"They played better than we did," Reid said. "Clearly better. Coached better, they played better. That’s my responsibility.
"I didn’t have my football team ready to play. They did. My hat’s off to them.
"I have to get my football team ready to play. I did a terrible job this week."

Last year of hearing that same excuse. If I said that at my job every time I fail, would not have a job.— SuperJ- After reading these responses, I'm starting to believe that Philly fans are educated.
Reid is a QB Killer who sets up his QB for failure, with his play calling. He is the ONLY coach who is known for defenses bragging that they knew what specific plays he'd call at any given time.
Even last season, Belichick refused to go into a goal-line stand on 1st and goal inside the 5-yard line, because he knew Reid would pass, and of course, they stopped the Eagles from scoring.
Reid (to his credit) came to the Eagles ahead of the curve on the passing frenzy. He was playing against a weak NFC East, bent on stopping the run. Reid's passing game took advantage of the rule changes.
He also had some leftover talent from Rhodes and got lucky with McNabb, Westbrook and Jim Johnson's bend-but-don't break, goal-line-strong defense.
He threw more passes than even Air Coryell, but used mediocre receivers for 5 years. Coryell, of course, had John Jefferson, Kellen Winslow & Co.
After finally getting a No. 1, breaking records and going to the SB, Reid went RIGHT BACK to using mediocre receivers for 2 additional years. He traded out of the 1st repeatedly and drafted Kolb while we were in SB contention. Why didn’t we go all in when the window was open?
Drafting Kolb, alone, set the franchise back at least 5 years. Okay, we’ve a couple of players for Kolb, but are we in SB contention? So, what good was it?
Well, Reid’s about to go "all-out!" GOOD RIDDANCE! 
Andy is a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— shawnmac- Fat boy had a terrible game plan— Jay Grace 69
- The fish stinks from the head down. What could Andy possibly have been thinking @ first half 0:06 to not elect to take the sure 3 points? Stupid beyond understanding.
'Terrible job?' No. A job no longer worthy of keeping. Hit the road, Andy & take Vick with you.— narkose3535 - hahaha gota love Andy. Can't wait til he gets fired after this season.— power808
- Remember when that used to be the exception rather than the rule?— banned
- How could they go into this season knowing that a couple of injuries would devistate the ol. Reid has got to go— ziller0604
- Are you serious...when you only use McCoy to run the ball when your behind is ridiculous...no balance what so ever...no offensive line means Vick is gonna get killed...so run the ball...you deserve to be fire Andy Reid— philly19

- Kind of Hard to run the ball when you get nowhere when you do!!! Being down 17 doesn't help either!!— Rick SP 4 LIFE
- Big surprise- He lets Kolb beat him- pathetic. btw great playcalling right before the half— psychockey
- Same ole, same ole. This act has to get canceled. And/Marty/Vick now canceled. Theater is now closed.
- You got one thing right today Andy, you did a terrible job.— CAKALAK MA
- Bad play-calling. Too pass heavy against constant all-out blitzing. Anyone on the coaching staff ever heard of a draw play or screen pass? How about a 3 step drop instead of constant deep drop plays for Vick against the blitz? Horrible blitz pick-up blocking schemes as well. The offense didn't play well or execute, but they were out-coached too.— JimG
