City of Pain

Couple a knee-jerk reaction city with inconsistent performance out of it’s football team and you’re bound to feel a few tremors every couple of Monday mornings. 95% of the fans are level headed enough to see through ridiculous claims made by the other 5% and stay mildly optimistic. Well, I’m here to say this morning that I am 100% officially turning a new leaf and calling for people’s heads. I’ve had enough of this bullshit. Any Eagle fan who doesn’t see this is living a fucking lie. I’m tired of the poor game management, the obvious inability to make half-time adjustments, the disgraceful wastes of challenges and time outs, and a team that is incapable of winning a close game. I’m sorry, but enough is enough.

At this point, anyone who does not see a major problem with the Eagles organization must be fucking crazy. No one is saying they suck, and no one is saying they are the worst team in the NFC. What they are is a team that has become average and stale, and the last time I checked, fans don’t accept average teams. Fans also don’t accept the same mistakes being repeated over and over each week without any explanation from the coach. Translation: When bad shit happens, we want explanations as to why they happened and a game plan to ensure they don’t happen anymore. It’s pretty simple actually, yet the Eagles haven’t seemed to figure this out, and it’s time to move on. Please, for us fans who actually care, remove yourself Andy. You’re not cutting it anymore and the improvement is just not there at this point. You’re getting beat by teams that are better prepared, and that’s when you know it’s over.

The Eagles are 1-10 in their last 11 games decided by seven points or less. Think about that. How can a coach possibly retain his job with a record like that? How can you possibly reward a coach who doesn’t have a fullback going into the season, and then get absolutely exposed for it in almost every game? How can you remain faithful to a guy who can’t win a divisional game anymore? Why is it acceptable to have one of the best running backs in football and still throw the ball 65% of the time? I don’t get any of this. Football is about balance Andy, and the game is passing you by. You are getting beat by a team like the NY Giants who run the ball down your throat all night (having a wide receiver in Plaxico who is far and away better than anything you have by the way) and then beat you with the pass because they have you on your toes trying to stop the run. You’re getting beat by teams that don’t waste challenges, and ultimately precious timeouts, like you do. I’d like to personally challenge the fact that you are our coach. Why does everyone but you realize our best receiver is a rookie who can stretch the field, yet you never send him deep. How’d that work against Dallas when he was 4 steps beyond the defender? How can you get a delay of game penalty inside the ten yard line needing to score in the 4th quarter? You throw the ball all goddam game, and then when you have a 3rd and short for the game, you run twice. I mean Jesus Christ Andy.

Try fucking up at your job and telling your boss that you ‘need to do a better job with things” every day. How would that go over? I mean this is a joke. On the NBC post game show, Tiki Barber, WHO DOESN’T EVEN PLAY FOOTBALL ANYMORE, knew what the Eagles were going to run on 4th down. It’s a disgrace and I’m fucking embarrassed that America watched my team perform like that. It was like getting kicked in the balls by some neo-Nazi with steel-toed Doc Martins.
