Andy Reid sucks. And is really, really fat.
By the middle of the second quarter I knew this game was lost. I knew then that the offense would be lucky to score another point and it was just a matter of time for the Redskins to take the lead and keep it permanently. What, you think Andy Reid would out coach a rookie and make better second half adjustments and the Eagles would regain control of the game?
Good one.
The offense had a great first drive and a half then basically nothing for the rest of the entire game. Nothing but a Brown catch and run when the Redskins stupidly failed to touch him down when he was laying on the ground. Then laughably, once again the Eagles couldn't gain a yard once inside the 5.
The wet, green tissue paper defense actually managed to prevent the opposition from scoring points on its first drive of the game but then got pushed around like a bunch of little girls the rest of the game. They made no plays at all, no stops, no nothing. They were completely outplayed and manhandled.
So calls for Andy Reid's firing should resume in earnest. The theory that he got fat (figuratively, not literally in this case) on a weak NFC East for all those years gains credence with each passing season. Of course he never won anything during those years. The Giants have won a Super Bowl since, Dallass is probably next or maybe even the Redskins. The Eagles, a big fat zero like their big fat coach. Against talent and good coaching "suddenly" Reid loses far more than he wins. Also notice, even though down 14-0, Zorn continued to run the ball and stick with the game plan. So by the end of the game the Eagles defensive line wouldn't have even been able to stop an Eagles' offensive goal line running play.
Other notes:
- Although the block was stupid and totally unnecessary, it still was a legitimate block in the back by sTank Daniels and I don't understand why the refs picked up the flag. I guess sometimes they can suck in our favor once.
- Akers can't make crap from over 40, and especially from 50. The Eagles fans know it, fans of other teams know it, everyone knows it. Everyone but the idiot Andy Reid. And of course the Redskins took that miss, the short field and the momentum and went down the field and scored their first points. It was the turning point of the game. That or the Greg Lewis drop the play before that set up Aker's miss.
- Can Rocca learn to kick field goals? Sure he'll be mediocre this year but next year...
- Pathetic effort by the offense before the half after getting the ball on the 40. But how else are you going to allow the defense to allow the opposition to kick a 50 yard FG right before the half for the third time this year?
- Are the Coors Lite commercials among the worst of all-time?
- Nice challenge Reid. Damn, you're stupid. It's like you did it just to piss off the fans even more.
- I got nothing to say about the effort at the 3 yard line.
- I got nothing to say about the defense allowing the Redskins to eat up the last 7:12 of the game.
- Unlike the Eagles previous losses, the Redskins deserved to win and kicked the Eagles collective ass.
- Redskins have all their remaining NFC East games at home.
