Around the NFL ... Week 13 edition

[JoeRedskin]

Regardless of how our season ends, I am enjoying the heck out of the hot mess that Philly has become. It seems as soon as Reid went out to try and assemble the "Dream Team", the wheels came off the bus.

For years, they had had success adding a piece or two but never overcommitting (Javon "The Freak" Kearse being the exception) - essentially, being the anti-Vinny's. Then, I think out of a little desperation by Reid, and in an attempt to retool post McNabb, they blow wads of cash for parts that don't quite fit together.

Reid probably should have "taken a break" after the McNabb trade and walked away a winner who set the team up for future success. Instead, he is looking desparate and not particularly like the "Stand up guy" on which he has built his reputation.
