NFL week 10

[17 Seconds]

Wow what is Braylon Edwards' deal?

[Soul]

Edwards has got to be driving Browns fans absolutely batty.

[Soul]

Wait. I blinked. Edwards has 3 INTs in the 1st *quarter*?

[TruffleShuffle]

and brady quinn is a solid 1 for 8

[dew1679666265]

I challenge anyone to name a coach who is worse than Andy Reid. Watching that guy coach a relatively close game is just painful. It's ming boggling that he still has a head coaching job.

 

Far too easy.

 

The answer is Norv Turner.

 

He is also the answer to the question: "Who is the worst head coach currently inexplicably employed in the NFL?"

[dew1679666265]

Wait. I blinked. Edwards has 3 INTs in the 1st *quarter*?

 

Yes, and the Browns only have a 6-0 lead.

 

Sorry Mike Aller, but this is a battle of ineptness right now.

this is giving derwood's "minnesota twins might be the worst organization in pro sports" a run for its money in the "dumbest post of the year" contest.

Either that or you just don't watch Eagles games.

you got me, i am an eagles fan living in a market that shows just about every eagles game, but i don't watch any of their games.

[17 Seconds]

Bill Simmons says is far better than I ever could.

 

Q: On behalf of every Eagle fan, can you please be the one media guy who doesn't suck up to Andy Reid and point out all the reasons why he sucks and needs to either resign or start smoking? The man either needs more oxygen or more nicotine. Thanks in advance.

-- Randy, South Philly

 

SG: I'd be delighted! Reid is like Art Shell with a better PR staff. He makes terrible decisions at the worst possible times. His players make boneheaded mistakes (like the DeSean Jackson spike, or McNabb's pathetic eight-minute drill in Super Bowl XXXIX) and nobody ever blames him. He doesn't seem to understand the strengths and weaknesses of his players even remotely, as we witness every week when poor David Akers is forced to try 50-yard field goals with a 43-yard leg and their crappy offensive line is forced to keep ramming it down someone's throat on third-and-1. His clock management has always been horrendous -- always -- even back when the Eagles were going to the NFC title game every year.

 

Here's how much Reid has slipped as an NFL coach: During the Skins-Eagles game, Antwaan Randle-El threw an option pass TD that Reid challenged even though Randle-El was clearly behind the line. There was no debate. I watched the play live and didn't even know what Reid was challenging until Troy Aikman guessed correct. ("You're exactly right, Troy!") So we wasted two minutes watching replays of Randle-El throwing the pass two yards behind the line of scrimmage, then Philly eventually losing a timeout on one of the five dumbest challenges of this decade. And I was sitting there thinking that we needed some sort of a "Coaching Boners" stat to capture the following things …

 

1. Calling for inane challenges that have no chance of getting overturned.

 

2. Horrendous goal-line plays that cause fans to start booing even as the ball-carrier is getting tackled.

 

3. Egregious and indefensible brainfarts by a player.

 

4. Any needlessly counterproductive decision along the lines of "David Akers couldn't make a field goal of more than 50 yards right now unless we injected him with enough cocaine, Red Bull and HGH to kill a thoroughbred horse, but screw it, we're trying this 52-yarder anyway."

 

5. Screwing up the clock management in the "Two minutes to go and we need two scores" scenario.

 

6. Screwing up your three timeouts when it's less than four minutes, you're trailing and you need to save as many seconds as possible.

 

When you think about it, we could easily keep track of those six categories. And if we did, Andy Reid has doubled the total of any other coach for 2008 coaching boners through five weeks. I am convinced.

 

Simmons pretty much calls out Reid in every article he writes

That makes even more sense then. You're biased and in denial about Andy Reid. There really is no other explanation.

right, or it could be that you're judging a coach solely on his decisions at the end of close games, which is just a small part of being an nfl head coach.

 

my favorite thing is all the bitching about his calls on short-yardage plays on 3rd or 4th down. for years everyone has been whining that the eagles can't get over the hump because they can't run the ball when they need to grind down the clock or convert on short yardage situations. they complain that reid is too pass happy. now this year, he runs the ball on 4th and goal from the 1, or 4th and short from midfield late in the game, and everyone complains that he's going away from the strength of his team. can't have it both ways, idiots.

I'm judging it solely on clock management? Okay. Maybe you should read the Simmons stuff I posted. You sound pretty defensive and angry. Just sayin

[dew1679666265]

I wouldn't put Andy Reid anywhere near even the worst five head coaches, much less the worst.

 

My bottom five coaches off the top of my head (worst = 1):

 

1. Norv Turner

2. Marvin Lewis

3. Jim Haslett

4. Jack Del Rio

5. Brad Childress (Rod Marinelli and Romeo Crennel are close, and perhaps ahead of him)

 

My top five coaches off the top of my head (best = 1):

 

1. Bill Belichick

2. Tony Dungy

3. Jeff Fisher

4. Mike Shanahan

5. Mike Tomlin (Jon Gruden, Ken Whisenhunt and Mike McCarthy are close)

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Andy is fat, terrible father, and his kids are cokeheads.

 

-1 Andy.

[Mark_R]

Ken Whisenhunt?

 

Really?

[Soul]

Ken Whisenhunt?

 

Really?

He is having a pretty good year you know.

[Mark_R]

Ken Whisenhunt?

 

Really?

He is having a pretty good year you know.

 

They got very lucky in that Monday night game. That team still lacks a lot of discipline, too many stupid penalties.

[dew1679666265]

Ken Whisenhunt?

 

Really?

 

He's probably the last of the honorable mentions and I may be putting too much stock into this season, but he made a (fairly) tough choice with Warner over Leinart and he's got a Cardinal team that never wins at 7-3.

 

I'm very fluid with Whisenhunt, but I don't think it's outlandish to have him there.

[dew1679666265]

It's a heck of a rebuilding job.

[Andy]

That was quite a game. Quinn did not play very well, but in the end it goes down as a win and his first (of hopefully many) fourth-quarter comeback win.

[TruffleShuffle]

I'm judging it solely on clock management? Okay. Maybe you should read the Simmons stuff I posted. You sound pretty defensive and angry. Just sayin

 

and you sound pretty wrong. just sayin

 

and i should add that i take reid's entire body of work into perspective, not just the disappointing last season or two. i understand this may be difficult for someone whose outlook on the cubs changed about 55 times this season - or perhaps more accurately, 55 times each game thread - but that's just how i roll. plus, when you are starting out a post with the sentence "I challenge anyone to name a coach who is worse than Andy Reid" when the likes of rod marinelli, romeo crennel, wade phillips, marv lewis and norv turner are employed as head coaches, you have failed.

No he's right. You're an angry, angry man. Defensive too. And you're from Philly to boot, my oh my.

if i want anger, all i need to do is read the most recent bears' game thread.
