A Philadelphia Eagles Thanksgiving: What We Can Be Thankful For

Found November 22, 2012 on Eagles Addict: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: LeSean McCoy,  Andy Reid
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
It’s true that this 2012 Philadelphia Eagles team has played more like the prey, rather than birds of prey, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving I thought it would be better to take a look at the positive side of things. There hasn’t been much to cheer about this season, unfortunately.  And, we’re facing a future with the most uncertainty since after the 1998 season.  However, if we really really try, we can come up with some things to be thankful for about this team and our situation going forward (or at least putting a positive spin on some things)… Players that are performing well: DeMeco Ryans hasn’t been exceptional, but he’s been a significant improvement at the middle linebacker position.  Ryans has played very well this year and he’s certainly been worth the price we paid in the trade (a 4th round pick and swap of 3rd-rounders). In fact, Pro Football Focus has him as their 4th-best inside linebacker so far this year. LeSean McCoy is easily the Eagles’ best player and is an elit...

Jeffrey Lurie Should End The Suffering And Fire Andy Reid, Now

Via GCobb.com  |  November 21, 2012
Categories: BREAKING NEWS Coaching Staff Eagles NewsTags: Andy ReidPhiladelphia EaglesI have to compliment Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie for his discipline and consistency in staying out of his coach’s way.  He doesn’t meddle and that’s what you want out of an owner, but he should fire Andy Reid now and not wait for another six weeks. Firing Reid now would put an end to...

The Eagles are awesome at firing the wrong people

Via Philly Sports Muse  |  November 21, 2012
You’re Fired! Even though I unclear as to the reason why… A strange story out of the Novacare seems to point to a Philadelphia Eagles organization that, both on and off the field, simply doesn’t have a clue. News of a firing by the Eagles broke overnight. If you’re wondering why there’s no hubbub over it, it’s because it was of someone who has nothing to do with the mess...

Injury SPIN: Reid Finds Another Way to Limit McCoy…Get Him Concussed

Via Fantasy Football SPIN  |  November 20, 2012
Andy Reid is awful. I will never understand the national perception that this guy is great. There was one point in the game on Sunday where the Eagles rookie QB had passed the ball 17 times and McCoy had rushed only 5 times. When asked why he didn't run more he replied by claiming the Redskins would be expecting the run. Really, Andy! There are a few things you can rest...

Cal (Finally) Fires Jeff Tedford

Via Double Coverage Football  |  November 23, 2012
Two weeks ago I called Cal coach Jeff Tedford the "Andy Reid of college football" as both mens' coaching careers hung in the balance. While Reid still clings to life in Philadelphia, Cal has let Tedford go after nearly eleven seasons in Berkeley. Like Reid, Tedford brought his team to an unprecedented level of sustained success, but like Reid, it was time for him to...

Jeff Lurie Should Fire Andy Reid Now if He Insists on Going Back to Vick

Via Eagles Addict  |  November 23, 2012
Ever since Michael Vick went down with his concussion, I’ve been pounding the drum that Nick Foles should remain the Eagles’ starting QB for the rest of the season, regardless of how he or the team performs. I even went so far as to say that Andy Reid would be selfish not do so. Before all the Vick lovers come crying, this is not about him.  My reasoning for starting Foles is...

Philadelphia Eagles: 15 Players Who Won't Return In 2013

Via Football Nation  |  November 23, 2012
The Philadelphia Eagles are in the middle of their worst season to date since 1999. With a combination of poor play and poor coaching, the Eagles find themselves at 3-7, by far the worst in the NFC East, and just about the league as well.While head coach Andy Reid will most likely go down, there is no doubt much of the 2012 Philadelphia Eagles team will go down with him.With the...

Fear and Loathing on the Philadelphia Eagles

Via The Penalty Flag  |  November 21, 2012
At 3-7, the Philadelphia Eagles’ owner Jeffrey Lurie and the Philly fan base are afraid and disgusted with the result of the 2012 season. Afraid because of the constant possibility of making the wrong decision in firing longtime head coach Andy Reid and disgusted with how often Reid has let everyone down season after season. Whenever you make a change at Head Coach, it’s a lot...

Panthers-Eagles Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  November 21, 2012
Not that the woes of Andy Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles have been flying under the radar, but now things could turn uglier as they come under the national spotlight. A potentially hostile home crowd awaits them Monday night with the Eagles mired in the longest losing streak of Reid's tenure - which appears to be nearing an end - as they face the Carolina Panthers in a matchup...

Hey Lurie…It’s Time to File Now

Via Philly Sports Nut  |  November 22, 2012
Jeffrey Lurie must do what’s best for business Owning an NFL franchise is a very profitable business. Jeffrey Lurie has profited immensely since purchasing the Philadelphia Eagles back in 1994. He bought his new toy with $195 million, mostly provided by his mother. So when it comes to being a hardcore, shrewd businessman, Lurie can’t take the moniker of being a self-made billionaire...

What’s Left For The Eagles In 2012?

Via BirdsFan.com - A Philadelphia Eagles Blog  |  November 21, 2012
The saying “the season is over” is a common one in football. It comes out when a key player goes down or when a team knows they have little to no playoff hopes. I think “the season is over” is a common mindset among Eagles fans right now. However, there are still six games remaining. So what can we learn during those six games? At this point, it seems that Andy Reid is...

Eagles Odds and Ends: McCoy, Brown, Foles, MNF

Via Philly Sports World  |  November 22, 2012
The look into the future will most likely continue this week on MNF as LeSean McCoy is still in stage 1 of his recovery from a concussion. Filling in will be Bryce Brown the rookie who in limited action has shown he is worthy of the start. Brown who has gained over 4 yards a carry should get the majority if not all of McCoy’s workload will get the chance to showcase his talent...

That Taylor Swift/Andy Reid Parody Song Is Pretty Good

Via Ride The Pine  |  November 21, 2012
I can’t explain it but when this Taylor Swift parody song about Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid called – We Are Never Ever Gonna Win With Andy – I didn’t think I would like it.  In fact, I waited a couple of days before I even watched the video.  Maybe because it was using a Swift song, I thought it would be cheesy or another YouTubers failed attempt at humor. You know...

It's Time for Reid and Turner To Be Relieved as Head Coaches

When it comes to finding out whether or not head coaches are getting through to their teams, the biggest indication is if the team is giving their maximum effort. Looking at the performances of the Philadelphia Eagles and San Diego Chargers last Sunday, it appears the respective coaches have lost their team. The Eagles lost 31-6 to the Washington Redskins, which drops the team to...
