The Philadelphia Eagles are facing a must win on Monday Night Football when they face the New Orleans Saints. It is that simple. Since they already fired defensive coordinator Juan Castillo, the Eagles are running out of people to blame for the mess once again in Philadelphia. In fact, the center of the blame shifts between Andy Reid and Michael Vick. One could bench the other and see what results come from the move, although that person seems to be resisting making such a move.
It may be most surprising, as the person who should be benched has almost begged for the move to happen.
It is no secret that Reid has not exactly been enamored by the play this season of his quarterback, and Vick has admitted as much. He said he has played poorly and would stand behind whatever decision Reid made. It almost sounds as if he is asking to be benched, knowing that he just can’t get the job done any more.
At least, not this season.
As much as I loathe to even type the following sentence, I will ...

It’s funny: I am not angry over the 30-17 loss the Eagles suffered to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Well, I am upset that the Falcons scored on their first six possessions and held a 24-7 halftime lead. The Eagles made third-down stops, only to be overturned by penalty.
The Eagles could not stop the rain and wind, nor could they stop Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan and the rest...

Reid, Mornhinweg, Vick: What’s Next for the 3-4 Philadelphia Eagles?
The Eagles were embarrassed on Sunday by a very good Atlanta Falcons team after falling 30-17. Kudos to the Falcons having a good game plan and sticking to it. It didn’t take them long to take a 14-point lead and inform the Eagles how this game was going to play out — their way.
There is no easy way to say this, the Philadelphia Eagles are a 3-4 football team after eight weeks...

This season has been a nightmare for Reid and the rest of the Eagles team and organization. The nightmare doesn’t appear to be ending soon, at least not until the end of the regular season.

When you listen to as much Philadelphia sports commentary as I do, you start to hear the same narrative over and over.One of the more common phrases used in reference to Andy Reid’s 14-year tenure is “the definition of insanity: repeating the same experiment over and over again expecting different results.”At a disappointing 3-4, the future seems bleak for die-hard Eagles fans...

The Eagles are in free fall and more changes could be on the way after Reid dropped a game after having the bye week. This just never happens. It was hinted that we could see Nick Foles sooner rather than later this season and we just get him next Sunday. Mike Vick said this after the game.

Eagles must make a move
The time is now for Andy Reid to save what he has left in terms of job security, and even if he makes a move now, there is a good possibility that he will be gone once the season has come to an end.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in the lead up to the season that a .500 team is not acceptable, and one can understand why he feels that way considering the amount that he has invested...
Vick, Romo, Sanchez a trio bland
There was a time not too long ago when having Mike Vick, Tony Romo or Mark Sanchez as your quarterback was considered living well in the NFL. Now it is like the sports version of marry, boff, kill.
If you had to choose one to build your franchise around, one to win a single game and death is not an option (neither is abstaining) whom do you go with?
