I heard the same thing and it didn't make any sense to me why they would hype that stat all show.#1 in NFL in stats @ 15 stats for the season. 1/4 of 15 is 3.75. 4 sacks in the 4th quarter is not low.Buffalo has 4 sacks for the year. All 4 quarters put together.
question is when will we see them do something about it? 3 straight losses and we are still waiting to hear what the plan is. all we hear is we have to do things 'better' and old andy accepting responsibility. Bunch of BS, I want to hear what they are going to do differently cause right now they are getting punched in the face and they don't even know how to get their hand up.If aren't going to sniff the playoffs, I would rather us lose every game, get that high draft pick and then force a change in the coaching staff. if they scrape together a nice run now, we will probably be a wild card road team and get squashed in round 1 by some team that can run the ball and play defense. not a good situation fo sure.
Silly, there's a plan. Its Andy's responsibility and he's going to get this thing fixed. He's just not going to tell us because he's only going to tell us what he wants to tell us. At least that's what he told us.question is when will we see them do something about it?

I suppose I should have said seen a new plan.Silly, there's a plan. Its Andy's responsibility and he's going to get this thing fixed.

The very sad part is that after all of the purging we did there is simply no leader on D. NONE.
I said it months ago when we didn't hire a guy from the SB to be DC. Reid wants no one who can challenge the throne. Fisher would be just that. NO CHANCE IT HAPPENS.
With so many players with 1 year contracts, you'd expect them to play harder.But if the losses keep coming, they may become more concerned with staying healthy and ease up on their effort to avoid injury.
What happened? He walked out? He didn't? What is almost walked out.
He made a quick statement and said time's yours...a few seconds went by and he got up and took a few steps and said "c'mon, get your stuff together" or something like that and came back.
They are NFL pros. You don't come to the NFL to learn to tackle or the correct way to hold a football. The wide 9 looks to be extremely effective, they just don't have the LB and S personnel to run it at the moment. They will have to fix that in the next offseason or change the scheme.
Well, you can blame the coaches for not drilling into the players heads that they should keep their cool and not jump offsides when it's 4-1 in a critical point in the game.
What happened to this team? 1-7 in their last 8 games. And that one win was against possibly the worst team in the league.
Why ? If you watch the games , you would not bring this up
yeah, he had a bad game, but he is certainly not what is wrong with team.
Bingo , I thought besides that pick vick had a solid game mind you he is running for his life out there thanks to the great protection he recieves
Receivers were kickin balls in the air which were intercepted. Definitely not on Vick. His running skills made the game close.
The coach I think needs to be fired is Castillo, but the D did actually start playing fairly well for him at the end. Had Parker not jumped off sides, we would have likely gotten the ball back and actually had a shot to tie the game. Of course, we wouldn't have been in that position if the D hadn't played so pathetically until the very end. I don't think that should save his job as DC, but honestly who could we bring in at this point that could turn it around in a week?Reid appears to have killed any shot that this team had when he decided to promote JC - clearly, the man is in over his head. I have never been as disgusted by an Eagles Defense as I have been so far this year. Teaching "fundamentals" was supposed to be Juan's strong suit, yet that's their biggest problem - they often can't tackle, can't shed blocks, are out of position and over pursue. I hate that Reid did this to a team with the talent that this one had with his total arrogance
The 2 bolded lines are exactly why this falls on AR. I know the players have to play. I get that. But this is all AR's team. His players, his coaches, his decisions. Last year they cleaned house on the defensive side (they were all his coaches) and now the replacements suck even more. His unwillingness to bring in a young DC (wasn't there a guy from Pittsburgh who was practically throwing himself at Reid?) and go with a guy who has never called an NFL or college play from either side of the ball was inexcusable. And at what point do the players realize this guy has zero experience with turning this around? How can he sell them on believing in his system?? Its not even his system!The coach I think needs to be fired is Castillo, but the D did actually start playing fairly well for him at the end.

Just pointing out that we haven't been getting beaten by schlubs. 49ers and Bills are both MUCH better than expected. Falcons are still a good team with losses to very good teams, and the Giants are a divisional rival with some talent of their own.I'm not happy by any stretch with this start by Philly, but before the season I would have been happy with a 3 - 2 start with so many new parts on defense. I'm not so sure that the Eagles, as bad as they've played to this point, can't turn this around.If a turnaround is going to happen though....next week is a must win against the Redskins.
Not schlubs, but so far we've beaten possibly the worst team in the NFL, lost to another underachieving team, lost to a division opponent (at home) which we had beaten 6? straight times, and 2 upstart teams.At this point in AR's tenure, we should not be blowing the leads we have and losing (at home) to the 49ers who happen to have a rookie HC. Not if you're a true Super Bowl contender - which this team clearly is not. There's no sugar coating how bad this team has played with no indication they can turn it around.
While losing out may be better for us long term (not sure it will be good for the confidence), I don't think I can handle losing much more this season. I agree maybe we should adjust our defense and I think after our washington game would be a good time. We have 14 days off to make some more significant adjustments. Reid is unreal after the bye. If we can go in at 2-4, come out and beat Dallas, we will shockingly be in okay shape to possibly win the div at 3-4. After week 7, Wash will be at 3 (maybe 4) wins, Dallas likely at 3, Giants at 3 (maybe 4). This week is huge.question is when will we see them do something about it? 3 straight losses and we are still waiting to hear what the plan is. all we hear is we have to do things 'better' and old andy accepting responsibility.

I have low expectations from this point forward. With our defense, if they keep the game close I will be surprisedWhile losing out may be better for us long term (not sure it will be good for the confidence), I don't think I can handle losing much more this season.

I know this is an eagles thread, but man what happened to the phillies? no offense at all. not one run?Ryan howard is getting worse every year and cannot hit playoff pitching. bad investment to keep him around for so long. Now hes hurt on top of that. yuck :X
Can't call it all on Vick... Our defense is porous and we can't hold onto the ball.... Never thought it would be Avant though.
