Eagles Downfall

This year the Philadelphia Eagles are not doing so good. Before the pre-season everyone thought the Eagles were going to be very good this year since they have gotten new good players on the team. The Eagles are one of the week's biggest fallers, and have dropped to their lowest point of the season. After 13 seasons under Andy Reid without a Super Bowl victory, the eagles brass must decide whether it's time for a change. It's really over for the Eagles. I believe that Andy Reid will be back next season, ready to go to the Super Bowl. After all the money the Eagles spent, it’s funny that their best signing came at the veteran minimum came from Evan Mathis. Mathis has combined with our top ranked LT on the year to form the best left side of a line in the league, while after some early season shuffles, the rest of the line has come together. Andy Reid's day of reckoning will come a month from now, when he sits down with his bosses and sifts through the carnage and explains to them what happened here, and what, if anything, he can correct so it won't happen again. And they decide whether that's good enough to bring him back. The coaches say players are trying real hard, are giving it their all, even as the evidence suggests the opposite. The players say they haven't quit on the coaches, not even beleaguered defensive coordinator Juan Castillo, who sounds more perplexed and saddened as he takes the podium each Thursday and tries to explain why his game plan which he continually calls "good" works out so badly most weeks.
