Around the NFL...Week 12 Style

I believe there were just a bunch of bad decisions made by the team/Reid over the last few yrs that have put them in the situation they are in now. Injuries? I sit back and think of the Redskins and want to start the list of names that a radio announcer jokingly said they probably could field another team with just the players that have been put on IR this year, so I don't buy the injury issue with the Eagles.

I like Reid and think he will get another chance as long as he "reboots" and starts over somewhere else and don't bring his current coaching staff along with him. Complete start over. Start with the basics, and get back to the plays that made him a great coach and stop trying to come up with some trick play or tweek off of those great plays he had.

Now who goes where?

Eagles- Gruden (perfect for him to start fresh and put his stamp on a team)
Cowboys- Holmgren (or so I believe. JJ and Holmgren had a nice meeting I bet)
Chargers- ?
KC- ?

Norv? lol. I could see him getting picked up by someone as their OC. He's awesome in that position even though he sucks as a HC.

GMen are not in a downward spiral. They have won 2 superbowls in the past 4 years, and are atop of the division, with a clutch ass qb. They are one of the two best teams in the NFC and maybe league. They turn it on when it counts, and their DLine is the best in the league, bar none. Funny thing is, when their season is on the line, their horrid secondary actually performs fairly well too. They are right now the class of the NFCE, while we are still trying to catch up. With one more year in the system, and with the way RG3 is playing, a couple smart acquisitions (upgrades to current OLine and CB's/S's), we should be right in the thick of the chase next year. Maybe even this year. But I don't think we are the better team right now though.

On top of that, Holmgren only had great success in GB and then only for 4 years. His time in Seattle was pretty mediocre but for the one SB season.

...and two NFC championships


Granted all that was back in the mid 90's though....

Then one in Cleveland in 05.

So the Eagles released Jason Babin today. Bit of a shocker. I wonder if Mike Vick and Nnamdi will be released before the season's over?

Vick is owed alot of money. Babin must have been a locker room problem cus he had a pretty good game last nite

[12thMan]

I don't think it's out of the question that Vick and Reid are gone at the end of the season.

Babin to me is a shocker, and (unless a pure cancer for the locker room) is someone I would get, even if just for the last 5 weeks. Maybe it's just a name thing though...

We won't secede if you fire Jerry!

[punch it in]

Apparently eagles can release vick before feb 6 2013 and not be on the hook for money or a cap hit. Huh. Thats crazy. Guess if thats the case he is as good as gone.

[12thMan]

Vick is good as gone, in my opinion.

[CultBrennan59]

Babin needs to be signed by us. Just what we need is a pass rusher.

[FRPLG]

Where would Babin play? He isn't a proto 3-4 DE and we're not signing to him move to OLB for 5 games when he doesn't play the position. Babin makes zero sense for us.

Exactly .

[los panda]

i haven't seen him do anything besides rush the passer, but i'd bring him in for a look to see what he can do at olb.
