Birds Gettin’ It Goin’ Again

Well, the Eagles looked pretty good again tonight. I’m very pleasently surprised to see new quarterback Nick Foles play with a LOT of poise in the pocket tonight. He’s made a lot of smart plays and really looks like a seasoned veteran tonight. I wouldn’t change a whole lot that has gone on. The team looks pretty solid. The offensive line is holding their own against a Cowboys defense that doesn’t rush the quarterback all that much, but keep in mind that DeMarcus Ware is still on that defense.

You are never safe on offense with THAT guy on the defense coming to find you.

The Eagles defense looks weak once again. It’s a disgrace. Tonight, however, the problem isn’t Nnamdi Asomugha or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The problem with the passing defense is the zone defense calls and the safeties Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman. These two are complete garbage. To be honest, I’m in complete shock that Coleman has a job. He doesn’t look to be good enough to play for a Pop Warner team. He goes for the big hits and 9 times out of 10 he misses. He’s a disgrace. I’m not as hard on Allen. He has played well for a long time but is completely overshadowed by the disgusting play of Coleman. Kurt Coleman is a big guy but at this point, I’d rather have Gary Coleman over Kurt.

No, there’s no relation.

While the outcome was not a victory, there were some highlights.

Minus his fumble resulting in a Dallas touchdown, Bryce Brown had a flawless night in LeSean McCoy’s absence. We now know that we have two running backs worth playing and third option, Dion Lewis, that could be used in specific situations. We knew coming into the season that the running back core was going to be deep. But we were never certain as to how well Bryce was going to play.

So far so good for the rookie.

Another big play was when another rookie, Damaris Johnson, took a punt all the way to the house. A 98 yard return from a rookie is something I haven’t seen the Eagles do since DeSean’s rookie season.

It was a good night for the most part. Only thing missing was the win. But we will get back at it next year. I only have to bare through four more Eagles games.

Hopefully, next season will be without that fat sack o’ losses we call Andy Reid.

Worst Person #13-Jeff Lurie

Ya, ok another one about the Eagles. I bet you guys are starting to wonder why I even like this team. I can’t help it. Eagles till the day I die. But man, this just gets frustrating.

Since Steve Spagnuolo was fired from his job as the Rams head coach a few weeks ago, Eagles fans young and old were waiting to hear if he would be hired by the Philadelphia Eagles to coach the defense. However, last night, these same fans came across some very sad news pertaining to the highly popular coach.

Steve Spagnuolo signed a deal with the Saints.

Then why, might you ask, do I blame the Eagles’ owner?

Maybe because he had the power to stop this from happening!

Not only did the Eagles not get Spags (which I thought was wishful thinking from the start) BUT JUAN CASTILLO STILL HAS A FRICKIN’ JOB!!!!

I don’t get how that’s possible. He’s the worst coordinator the Eagles have had since long before Jim Johnson. I don’t know why this team continues to screw their fans. We just want to win a Super Bowl. Is that so much to ask?

I’ve seen them win a division. I’ve seen them win a conference championship. But I have yet to see them win a Super Bowl. I saw them lose one. And I’ll be honest, my story isn’t even the saddest one. My father was born in 1962. He hasn’t seen the Eagles win anything. The last time the Eagles won a league championship was in 1960, before the Super Bowl was born and before my dad was born. My dad will be 50 years old in October, and they still have no championships to show for 46 years of the Super Bowl.

WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE OUR TURN LURIE?!?!?!? SPAGNUOLO COULD HAVE HELPED US GET BACK ON TRACK! WHY DIDN’T YOU WANT TO PAY HIM?

There’s a long offseason to go. Alot of things can happen. But, I came up with a 6 step scheme that could win the Eagles a championship. FIRING CASTILLO WAS ONE OF THE STEPS!!! DON’T SCREW US LURIE!!!!
