Just as I told Ross months ago...who cares about the regular season, they'll make the playoffs no problem.

I respected Whitlock for that at the time, I just wish he would be consistent. He flip flops on the issues so much that I can't take him seriously. It always appears to me that it depends on how much he likes/dislikes the person as to which side he takes.

Conlin's pretty awful, especially cuz he's a local guy so I read him more than Bayless et. al. But I have to see Screamin' A. and Bayless on TV, which makes it worse. As for Whitlock, I'd say I like him more than I don't. He was the only one not screaming for Don Imus' blood, and I really respected that.

I like Easterbrook and I am not so sure he can be considered a sports journalist. As for Bayless, Scott, Screamin A. and Bill Conlin...I am not sure I can pick the biggest moron. Well, Whitlock and Conlin are the "biggest," but you know what I mean.

Whitlock could never be the biggest moron in sports journalism when names like Skip Bayless, Gregg Easterbrook, and Stuart Scott still run amok.

OK, even though this article seems to support your points about Andy Reid, I think it proves mine instead: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8789616/The-10-best-and-10-worst-NFL-coaches Yes, they went there and named Andy Reid the worst coach in the NFL. But look at the source. "Big Sexy"* is the biggest moron in the sports journalism business. And if you agree with him, just remember, this is a man that actively campaigns every year for a team to sign Jeff George, believing he can still be a starter in the NFL. I rest my case. *Yes, Whitlock calls himself "Big Sexy"

I actually think it's a Chinese Food menu and not a play chart, but that's just me.

The question isn't whether he's better than anyone the Eagles have had before, because that's a no-brainer. The real issue is whether he's the best that the Eagles can do right now. Sadly, I suspect that the answer is yes, but I'm not going to give the guy a free pass just because we've done better than we had been doing before he arrived. And I'm not going to cease screaming for Marty Mornhinweg to snatch that laminated play chart out of Andy's hands and beat him over the head with it.

Not being able to get over the hump to a championship is frustrating but I disagree with getting rid of Reid. I lived through the years of Kotite, Rhodes and of course the Swamp Fox. I'd rather have Reid's 10 years of winning than a return to that mess. Reid has the highest winning percentage of any Eagles coach that coached more than 2 games.* Sorry, I realize he is frustrating at times, but he has brought more success to the franchise than anyone else ever has. *If you advocate the return of Bo McMillin or Fred Bruney, I can't argue with you.

Totally with you, Ross. I say they were shitty calls because of the evidence they were based on and the rules for overturning a play. That said, they lost that game because Reid mismanaged it again and the D-Line got molested. That "Aw Shucks" look kills me too. The Phillies World Championship grace period does not extend to Reid and McNabb.

How Long Have We Been Saying "GET RID OF REID'

It's hard to believe that the Eagles can't trust their passing game. Desean, Hank "Put the Lotion in the" Baskett and Curtis are more than reliable. Is it their lack of faith in Donovan McNabb to be able to actually throw the ball at the hands of these receivers? The game was a sloppy mess and yet another loss this season that could have easily been a win.
