NFL flms yesterday had a special on Andy reid, and most of it about how he avoids the media, how he clears his throat when asked dumb or baiting questions and never answers them- and he and sabol talking about how its kept him emplaoyed in philly so long because he has the the "art of saying nothing" down to perfection

Yeah his froggy throat has him there, not the fact he's been to a bazillion NFC Championship games and up around the playoffs every year.

So as long as Lovie plays it cool and perhaps learns to emphatically clear his throat, we're stuck with him.

you really have lost it..

after the bye beat the ginats 38-20, the rams 42-27, tampa 34-31 and niners 41-10 for games were the "O" not "D" were the highlight- you really have lost any objectivity

Ahhhh........excuse me DB. My bad......

I was under the impression that the Quarterback was considered part of the Offense.

Silly me.


GOOD REX ~ TRAIN WRECKS - GOOD REX ~ TRAIN WRECKS ~ GOOD REX ~ TRAIN WRECKS........right to the very end were he finally, and forever, morphed into TRAIN WRECKS.

And, I'm sorry......but our DEFENSE is what carried us to the Super Bowl........not WRECKS GROSSTESQUEMAN and the Offense.


The offense still wasn't bad, but our DEFENSE is what got us there. THEY were just eating teams alive. And if I remember correctly, it was the GIANTS that said it was the "fastest Defense they had ever seen".

and getting himself dragged into and down goes his career- he by avoiding it,, and saying the same thing.. Keep's his job unlike a "diddly Poo" or a " you know crap" that take down coachs like a mora, ditka, denny green etcetc

I don't know the stats but were any of those coaches in control of a winning team when they were let go?

PLAYOFFS?!?!?!?!

If you win you stay, I'm from PA know a ton of Eagles fans and they're split 50/50 some like the winning and some think he will never get them to the promised land so although nice to be in contention every year it's time to blow the thing up.

You should really be re-evaluating hOW great THE 2010 "d" IS THAT ONLY GIVING UP 1/2 that many points , don't ya think?? I mean if gicing up 27+ points a game 'eating teams alive".. what is giving up on;y 16.. ?

jsut saying

Time to calm down and just be "slightly" more realistic,,

ummmmmmm ...... I would call that fantastic.....but, I really don't recall saying ANYTHING negative about our 2010 Defense......could you point that out for me?


Incidentally.......

"The bears "D" gave up 31 points,20,27,31,21 and 26 points is now "eating teams alive"??"

yeah.......when they're also responsible for dam near putting that many ON THE BOARD.

Ok you've shown me 2 bad or "subpar" seasons he's had, don't think they quite offset all the good ones, jeez he's had more NFC Championship appearances than losing seasons??

Get outta here.
