there are many things.

It's hard to be a fan of another team in many cities with teams - NY of which is one. Anyway, I am losing faith that they are as good or coached as well as last year. Even after the fluke win against San Diego, I had confidence (not smugness.) I never thought that Reid is a genius, but now maybe teams are onto him. Losing Simon and other players on defense hurt. I think players aren't coming together as a team. And as much of a warrior as McNabb has been, I said at the beginning that he should have surgery for that sports hernia.

4. 28 - 21
maybe they were calmly waiting for the second half, knowing the Broncos had blown a big early lead last week as well?

10. As a Giants fan
I love this. I live in the Phila area and get abused by these assholes constantly. How about Tiki-compare to TO a class act.

12. Andy Reid is coaching like a moron
Edited on Sun Oct-30-05 08:36 PM by Awsi Dooger
With additional commendation to offensive coordinator Brad Childress.

Like I wrote a month ago here, any coach who thinks he can reinvent the game will be sadly mistaken in the form of repeated losses. It's the Vince Lombardi Trophy, not the Don Coryell Trophy. Today the Eagles had exactly one rushing attempt when the score was 21-0. It's very hard to sustain a comeback when you never hit the other team once all game. Philly is now a tickle team on offense, no drive blocking at all. That team is extremely fortunate it is not 2-5. Kansas City donated two turnovers for TDs at the end of the first half against Philly, and San Diego blew multiple opportunities including a blocked FG for the winning TD.

At least I'm making great money betting against the pantyhose Eagles. One of the most reliable betting trends is to wager against an NFL team the week after they won a game with 25 or fewer rushing attempts. A win like that is essentially a fluke. When the number is below 20, the percentage soars the following week. Philly beat Kansas City and San Diego with less than 20 rushing attempts, in the 15 range both times. So it's hardly a coincidence they were massacred from the outset in the games that followed, at Dallas and at Denver.

Keep it up, Andy. I'm counting on you for my Roth IRA maximum annual allotment. So far, so good.
