The E-mails have continued. This is the angriest I've seen Eagles fans in a long time. They''re having trouble letting go of the fact that they Birds gave that game to the Packers.
From Tom McGee,
Garry: I have been on your web site for two days reading all the responses to this dismal loss. All of the comments have validity, but no one has gotten to the root of the problem. Here it is, and you can post it!!! Andy Reid. Andy, Big Red, Coach, whatever you want to call him can't think and did not think to put Brian Westbrook in the game in a crucial situation because if he's human, his family problems have overwhelmed him. Is it not time for the MAN to say, enough is enough and I need to spend time with my family?
You, or noonelse can convince me his family problems are not affecting his coaching. I can almost see it on his face at the conference yesterday when Howard Eskin asked the crucial question. It was if he was saying…Damn Howard what do you expect from me. I also heard Hugh Douglas on 610 setting up a lame ridiculous excuse that Andy had a lot to consider in Sundays game and that is why he did not think of Westbrook. Crap! He is getting paid millions to remember.
Just do the right thing Andy, Big red, Coach, and step down. Let marty, or me coach. I am tired of everyone making excuses for Andy Reid. He has sucked for a long time and it is time to fess up and move on. tom mcgee
From Fred Pagani,
G:
Did Tony Hunt even sniff the field on Sunday?
All preseason, they used him on short down yardage and in goal line. I didn't see him on the field at all.
How many times are we going to have to watch that same play action pass on 3rd and one? Sick of it. Just once in a while can we put some faith in the guys up front and run the ball (with Hunt, not Buckhalter) on third and one?

Gary Warren,
Mr.G, As a casual fan ( not technically astute) I noticed , besides the obvious problems, that there is nothing terribly new in the Eagles scheme ( aka: Playbook) I found myself calling the next offensive play time after time …" 2nd and 9, run Westbrook up the middle for 1 0r 2 yds." this, in the 4th quarter when you haven't been able to do it for the previous 3…..they are so predictable it is sad. There isn't an imaginitive thought anywhere on that sideline…as much as I guess Reid is a good coach, I think a less complicated playbook with more room for adjustments would do wonders for what is a pretty talented group of offensive players.

These fans are some of the most whiny, ridiculus girls I've ever had the misfortune to listen to. The Eagles are a quality organization (the only one in Philly), with a quality veteran staff and a quality roster which will bounce back and have a sccessful season. One game does not a season make. Grow up and enjoy the season and the playoffs. Sixers won't get there, Phillies won't get there, and I doubt the Flyers will either. If all you want is a Super Bowl victory, and nothing short will do, turn off the TV, don't buy tix and wait until Feb to see if they make it. That way you won't have to make reservations at the nut house between now and then. Have a Great Day!
