Heckert Promoted to Eagles GM

[SD_Eagle5]

Haha, I love the Clash. 

[rjs246]

Try getting this shank out of your neck.

[QB Eagles]

Sal Pal advocates bringing in outside football operations guy. I disagree with him, I don't think the team is an echo chamber of poor decision-making.

[MURP]

Remember: The collapse of the 2005 Eagles has been historic

Sal Pal couldnt be more dramatic if his hair was on fire in that picture.   Yeah, some bad moves were made.  That doesnt mean that every move from now on will be terrible.   Dont years of good personel moves account for anything now?   please.   If anything, Reid needs help calling some FRICKEN RUN PLAYS.

And the clock.  Don't forget the clock.  Motherfarger needs to get the goddamned plays into the huddle sometime before 10 seconds left on the play clock.  God damn it!

oh and that challenge on sunday

[QB Eagles]

Poor Management Decision I: Letting defensive end Derrick Burgess sign with the Oakland Raiders.

The team was high on Burgess, but the guy was practically injured his whole career and got a ridiculous sum of money from Oakland. Wasn't exactly a boneheaded move, no one predicted he would be the league leader.

Poor Management Decision II: Bringing in Mike McMahon to back up McNabb.

Sounds like a reason for outside guys like Marty to NOT join the team's staff.

Poor Management Decision III: Releasing defensive tackle Corey Simon.

Simon still wasn't worth what he was asking for.

Poor Management Decision IV: Allowing Terrell Owens to poison the season.

There was no good decision to be made about TO. It was lose-lose from the second he hired Rosenhaus.

Of course management mistakes have been made, but I don't see evidence of any historic collapse in those examples Sal Pal gives.

And the clock.  Don't forget the clock.  Motherfarger needs to get the goddamned plays into the huddle sometime before 10 seconds left on the play clock.  God damn it!

Amen. The pathetic clock stupidity demonstrated by both Reid and McNabb on countless occasions needs to go away. They should think up every possible clock scenario and practice the hell out of all of them. Practice the playing, practice the coaching. That shtein should be second nature before they take one damn snap next year.

As I asked in another thread...

#4 The clock management at the end of the 1st half by PSU was sweet, great job by the staff being aware of their situation.

If a 79 year old coach and a bunch of college kids can pull off a 2 minute drill, why can't the Eagles?

[MURP]

true true... the clock management has been an issue since day 1.  I remember back in '99 chalking it up to a rookie head coach.  ha. 

[General_Failure]

Hopefully with Childress leaving and Morningwood being shunned Reid won't play telephone with the calls anymore.

[Wingspan]

historic?

1989 - Denver Broncos lose Superbowl
1990 - 5-11

1998 - Atlanta Falcons lose superbowl
1999 - 5-11

1998 - Denver Broncos won 2nd superbowl
1999 - 6-10

2002 - Oakland Raiders lose superbowl
2003 - 4-12

yeah it's absolutely historic...fargnut

[methdeez]

Thank you.
Historically above average!

[hunt]

from 1st place in the division to last place in the division.
from 6-0 in divisional games to 0-6 in divisional games...the worst divisional record in team history.

yes, it was a historic collapse...admit it.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Who cares if it was historic or not?  It sucked hard either way.
