OK Philly fans: you need a new coach...!
The dumbest play calling I ever witnessed outside of GB last week.

The Eagles run right through the opposition's defense, get inside the 30 and the 20 and the coaches call for a pass from a hurt quaterback?
Someone please explain this to me. Then they turn around and call the same stupid shit with the replacement quaterback who had moved the ball inside the 20 with 5 mins to go.

And McNabb was hit late on three occassions and I never saw a coach so much as spit on the ground. What is wrong with this picture?

1. Agreed
That was a dumb call. (I'm an Eagles fan, BTW. I'd actually rather replace our pathetic wide receiving corps - with the exception of Freddie Mitchell - than dump Reid.)

I'm not an Eagles fan, but this is a man who took an Eagles team to the championship game that had no business being there. They had too many injuries, and lost too many good players to free agency.

Last year, he got them to the championship game DESPITE losing his top two quarterbacks during the regular season.

The Eagles did not lose that game because of that play. They lost it because they never should have been there, and one of their two miracle workers (the other being Reid) got injured.

I would take Andy Reid over ANY OTHER COACH in the league. If the Eagles front office spends some money and gives him a real team, they'll be Super Bowl Champions someday.
