A long time ago, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie should have parted ways with embattled coach Andy Reid. A long time ago, the Eagles should have moved in another direction for the betterment of their team. The level of tension and criticism, which coaches and pro athletes commonly tolerates on the east coast, is anything but respectful and kind to Mr. Reid.
That might be east coast bias? Um, no east coast bias here.
No one is kidding when they say the Philadelphia Eagles are an absolute mess, amid a publicity outcry as ineptitude and struggles from quarterback Mike Vick creates a ruckus in the City of Brotherly Love. It’s anything but lovely in Philly, and more than ever, it’s becoming hell on earth every week for a team that seems to be in a state of confusion, not sure which direction to take to resolve these repeated letdowns. The endless uproar of a quarterback controversy is taking away from what could and should have been an efficient season, with all the Eagles’ ingredients, posse...

Andy Reid is fat and his son was a junkie. That’s pretty much the gist of these tweets from angry Eagles bros after last night’s 28-13 loss to the Saints. It was a pretty ugly game from the start so you know frustrations were running high from Philly fans. After Vick’s fifth or sixth sack it got really bad. @jojobasedraichu dropped this gem: “If I catch that f*ck ***** Andy...

Eagles in four-game skid, as season slips away
Coach Andy Reid says he still believes the Philadelphia Eagles can turn their season around.
The Eagles (3-5) have given him little reason to truly think that, though. They were sloppy and battered in a 28-13 loss to New Orleans on Monday night. They failed to score a touchdown in five trips inside the red zone and Michael Vick was sacked seven times.
Reid says the Eagles are only...
