Talk About It ...
Negadelphia's Next Target: Andy Reid You know it's coming. Unless, by some miracle T.O. stays and the Eagles beat the Giants on Sunday. (I know. Stop laughing.) Initially, most of the toxic talk was aimed at T.O.'s antics. Lately, the ire has shifted toward McNabb, who self-destructed on a lame-brained/lame-armed pass, costing the team the Dallas game. But with Donovan likely to be shelved for surgery, guess who'll next have his every flaw turned into evidence for the Philly prosecution? The head coach, of course. After all, isn't he the guy who ... had final say on T.O.'s ouster ... . called the play that resulted in Dallas' gimme touchdown ... feeds fans malarkey like that was a low-risk play ... let a clearly injured McNabb put himself back in the game ... let a wounded David Akers try a game-ending no-chance 61-yard field goal into the wind ... keeps mismanaging timeouts and time-expiring situations ... let proven players go without replacing them with proven talent ... failed to upgrade a team that fell short (see cliches, horseshoes) ... has been coming up short against coaches who have won Super Bowls (Parcells, Shanahan, Gibbs and almost Vermeil) ... and more? Then again, no coach is perfect, many are worse, and the guy's won more regular season games than any other NFC coach in recent years, more playoff games than any Eagles coach ever. So what's fair? If you're ready to let loose, feel free to comment here.
