Eagles Wake-Up Call: Lurie, Listen To the Linc

Much of the focus has been on the win/loss record.

Jeffrey Lurie said 8-8 would not be good enough for Andy Reid to keep his job. At 3-4, the head coach is not on a track towards “substantial improvement.” As the weeks peel off the calendar, we keep our eyes on the standings, and wonder what the owner thinks of it all.

We should be using our ears as well.

Eagles Wake-Up Call: A Franchise Seeking Stability

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy ReidSometimes, it’s important to take a step back and look at the big picture.

After the Eagles’ 30-17 loss to the Falcons Sunday, I was thinking about the state of the franchise. From 1999-2009, the first 11 years of Andy Reid’s tenure here, you often heard the word “stability” associated with the Eagles.

A team in contention pretty much every season. Eight playoff berths. Six division titles. Five NFC title games. And one Super Bowl appearance. An established record of consistency and winning, even if they never quite brought the Lombardi Trophy home.

The results in those 11 years make what’s happened in the past two rather remarkable.

Vick Not Ready To Concede the Starting Job

Some took Michael Vick‘s statements to the media following Sunday’s loss as a concession speech.

“Obviously he’s thinking about making a  change at the quarterback position,” said Vick of Andy Reid.  “If that’s the decision the coach wants to make, then I’ll support it.”

Mix those comments with a report that Reid is leaning towards starting Nick Foles in New Orleans, and you can gather that Vick has learned his fate and is resigned to take a seat on the bench. But that conclusion seems premature.
