Considering we routinely agree on most things I'd say you have some soul searching to do there, Igster.

So: win over the Giants + team rallies around Andy + finishes 8-8 or 7-9 = at least two more years of Reid football.

Sigh.

I'm not right very often, but I hate being right about this. Ugh...

[ice grillin you]

i started to almost sympathize with andy because of what appeared to be sincere contrition....until the end where he became a stubborn dick again...

Andy Reid said that he "goofed" when he didn't have the proper personnel in the middle of his defense to contend with the Eagles' new wide-nine scheme up front last season.

The Eagles defense was torched early last year on the ground when a group of young linebackers and safeties -- led by first-year defensive coordinator Juan Castillo -- had difficulty adjusting to a scheme that spread out the defensive ends and had the defensive tackles focused on the pass rush. The Eagles opened the season 1-4 and never recovered from the slow start.

"We had young guys there, and so I knew that going in," Reid said Wednesday at the start of an hour-long interview at the NFL owners meetings. "The plan that I had I didn't execute it very well. Right? Thaty's my responsibility. I goofed on that one, right? I expected the young guys on defense to get where they're getting by the end of the season sooner, particularly the middle of the defense -- linebackers and safeties.

"I expected the offense to carry it through. So that part didn't take place. But to tell you, yeah, your linebackers -- the more gaps you open up, the more physical they have to be. That's how it is."

Reid has often been criticized for what some have called his devaluing of the linebacker and safety positions. He was asked if it was a blindspot that contributed to not having the right players in place at the start of last season.

"Well, we ended up being OK," Reid said. "Now we mixed and matched and did that whole deal. So it ended up working out OK at the end."

Viva mediocrity!

[Sgt PSN]

It worked out ok in the end?  Did I miss the part where the Eagles won the SB last year because I could have sworn it was the Giants. 

[MDS]

after years of winning regular season titles, they won the offseason title, which actually is more prestigious. 

[Feva]

That is exactly why this fat farg can't connect with his fanbase. There wasn't one Eagle fan who gives a shtein about this team that thinks things "worked out OK in the end".

The fanbase is farging starving for a Super Bowl win and he's ok with 8-8.

for get the meaningless wins by the team...it doesnt even make sense from a player performance standpoint...if by the end of the year he thought all his misaktes erased themselves and worked out then why did they feel the need to trade for meeko

[Drunkmasterflex]

Its what he has to say and thats his personality he always covers for his players.

I don't doubt his wanting to win....What I doubt more than anything is his gameday coaching ability.
