I hope Philly fans force McNabb out of there so that the Titans can go after him.

 

might happen next year or the year after, and it might have even happened if tampa hadn't crapped the bed against oakland, but it's not going to happen this offseason.

Yeah, you're probably right. And even if he became a free agent, I doubt the Titans would sign him.

Jeff Fisher is pissed about the non-call on the delay of game Saturday.

 

"I've always maintained that there's a human element in the game as far as officiating is concerned. [They're] going to make mistakes; it is part of our game,'' Fisher said, according to The Tennessean. "But this particular mistake was unacceptable. There is no excuse for it, it was a mistake, and it was a costly mistake. It was not the reason we lost the game, but it was a mistake, an error.''

 

He's on the competition committee, so hopefully he'll help make delay of game calls reviewable (much like 12 men on the field and whatnot are).

It's funny to see an Eagles fan on here defending Andy Reid. Eagles fans absolutely hate the guy. They passionately hate Andy Reid and McNabb. They bitch about them both at every opportunity, whether it's during an NFC championship losing season, or a non-playoff season. I'm talking blue collar sports talk radio types, white collar wall street types, male, female (especially female), young, old, etc. They hate Andy Reid and McNabb. 3 non-playoff seasons in 10 years (compared to Lovie missing 3 of 5), 6 double digit victory seasons, 10 postseason victories. He may screw up the occasional call, but his team wins and has enjoyed terrific success. They've operated with an injury plagued RB and no receiving threats, and win year after year.

I'd take it.

a lot of the morons certainly do hate andy reid. i talked to several friends about the eagles the last time i was back in south jersey, which was when we were going into week 17. their opinions ranged from lukewarm support to a position similar to mine, which was "don't fire the coach unless you're replacing him with someone better" (i.e. bill cowher and that's probably about it). so i think you're overstating it in saying (or at least seeing to say) that almost every eagles fan hates andy reid. fortunately the eagles don't listen to the idiot fans - i remember back when they let troy vincent and bobby taylor (starting CBs) go, everyone was up in arms. i'm pretty sure those guys were out of the league in less than 3 years, and lito sheppard established themselves as very good, borderline pro-bowl players.

 

there are some things that andy reid isn't really good at. he's terrible at clock management. he becomes too pass-happy at times, and sometimes the play-calling gets too predictable. probably his biggest flaws come in coaching during the game; this is the easiest thing for people sitting on their couch to see, so they jump to stupid conclusions. but the eagles generally draft well, make smart free-agent signings, get their young players to improve, cut the right guys loose when their ability no longer matches their salary, prepare well for games... reid has a hand in all of this, as the coach and executive vp. i'm willing to accept some poor in-game decisions in exchange for a team that is competing for the division and conference title almost every year.
