andy needs to go, end of story. he hasn't done anything at all since 2004 since the 4 NFC championships and the trip to the superbowl. he wants to run the ball in critical situations when 1.) we are not a running team 2.) pro-bowl RG shawn andrews is injured and 3.) he never wanted to pick up a decent full-back to blow it up a little... BUT THEN WANTS TO RUN THE BALL IN THE MOST CRUCIAL OF SITUATIONS. that and like mentioned before..... his offense had 4 CONSECUTIVE mental/stupid penalties resulting in 1st and 25 and ultimately a punt on the first series of OVERTIME. all of our games this season have been lost by 5 points or less. does that not tell you that we have the tools but poor coaching/play calling?
now lets get one thing straight, i love our players. you give mcnabb the right tools and he is going to produce. same with westbrook, and westbrook does it without any tools sometimes. our O-line is huge and our defense is shutdown. there is absolutely no reason why we are in last place with a tie with the 2nd worst team in football. which is the reason why i believe something needs to be done with the staff.
and dont hate on philly fans. we are die-hard for our team. just like any other major sports town, we get frustrated but lincoln financial field is year in and year out, still one of the most toughest tickets out there and according to the Quest for 32.... we are the 2nd most indimidating fans next to Oakland. this comes from 2 guys who have seen em all. why? because our fans are great so fuck off if you want to hate on us. we do what we do and really dont care what ANYONE else thinks.
back to football... its time for the eagles to rebuild... and one more thing, desean jackson is our only deep threat if you can even call him that yet, he makes a lot of rookie mistakes, and is still developing on how to read defense, and if you pay attention, he still isn't on the same page as donovan yet. so yeah i can agree, hes sort of a deep threat, he WILL be a deep threat, he is a great player and i expect him to be with us for a long time, but he's a rookie and he's not there yet, he's not a number 1 receiver... not yet
donovan is also 32, 33 years old? he's got years left in him but he is getting older every season. i love him, he's our guy... but do i see the beginning of the kevin kolb era coming?
