Ok, but I wasn't the one coming on here two hours after the game bringing it up.

Sure, he can take a victory lap here if he wants...gotta be better than eating horse doody. Doesn't really have anything to do with the original conversation though.

Philly fans have a tough reputation, yes, but people should understand this is exactly why he was let go despite a winning record. He’s an NFL football coach you want in September, not January. He charts everything and I mean everything. But once he’s off script or an opposing coach throws wrinkles at him, he freezes. By the time playoffs roll around, other teams are playing chess and the Big Cheeseburger is playing checkers.
He's obviously got his faults, but he's a really good coach. Remind me how much success the Eagles have had since letting him go?
Well they are the 1 seed in the NFC currently
Thanks.

It’s all about what an ownership and a fan base wants. Andy Reid is Mr. October for the wrong sport.
If an ownership wants 10 wins a season after starting 6-0 or 6-1, the Big Cheeseburger is your man. Nobody works harder. He’s the student who spends every weekend in Tilton Library and earns every B he gets but no matter what, he’ll never be Phi Beta Kappa.

I knew you’d be back. :lol: I was the first to congratulate him on the KC thread.

Hey, I'm nothing if not consistent. Sorry about the time elapsed there, if Dee Ford wouldn't have been offsides it would have been a year earlier.
