not sure why your looking for someone to blame though. anyone could say the same thing about a lot of teams. philly gets so much garbage year to year.. dont see why people just dish on "overrated chokers" a lot. i have one or two players from the past seasons playoffs in mind who could have been classified as an "overrated choker". but, seriously tho, we should have made it and won it more often in his tenure. i dont see why next year we will have any less of a chance. and for the record, your thread has been more coplimenting than garbage in many ways with regards to the crap that philly fans had to hear consistantly for years now.
imo, i think hes a great coach, and philly and their fans appreciate him for doing what he has done in the time he had given to him. I hope his family issues have been as well as possible for him too btw.

You know I was listening to the radio this morning and they were talking about a subject that is the direct reason I started this thread. So I would like to appologize to all Eagles fans... I gave you this thread from a Cowboy fans perscpective. We see things through our Cowboy glasses, if he would have dominated the NFC and lost in 3 championship games here we would have thrown him to the wolves... but as I look back in Cowboy's history before we got as spoiled as we are now, Landry had the same problem. We lost championships we should have won. It is hard for us/me to understand how you lose those games and not fire the coach, because the Bar is that high in Dallas and it's what we expect. But any coach that wins as many games as Reid has can not be labeled overrated.
*by the way MS if you read this... yes I threw in a cheap shot at Mac Brown... did ya catch it?*
