Around the NFL ... Week 13 edition

JoeRedskin · 12-03-2012, 02:41 PM

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.

Reid's had a bad couple of years in just about every way possible. I think he maybe should have taken a break to get his life and family back in order. They had it going on there for a while but getting Banner run out of town and then all the extracurricular stuff has them listing hard. They are the very definition of hot mess.

Reid was the best coach in the division for the first half of last decade. The Eagles were a very good team at that time. Since then they've drafted pretty well and still made playoff runs. I don't know what happened to them this year. Aging roster? Players just not executing? Bad coaching? Regardless I never thought I'd see what I'm seeing this year out of an Andy Reid coached team.

Philly has become the Redskins of Vinny Cerrato. Really, really bad decisions being made there.

I wonder if it's the Philly owners or GMs fault.

Doesn't Andy Reid have a lot saying on personnel moves?

Andy Reid has had final say for a while, but he had Joe Banner around to play "bad cop" Reid isn't able to effectively be both and it's affected his hold on the team...from what I've been told

I heard last night that Stallworth was returning to NE, but not totally sure

Starting to get sense that the Redskins/Giants/Cowboys/Bucs may be cursing the replacement refs in Seattle as much as Packers did.

I can't remember where I saw the RG3 stats but he's should be getting close to getting his 1,000 rushing and 3,000 passing right?
