Unwatchable
It
is time to move on from Andy Reid. Long past time.
Yesterday’s
de-activation of DeSean Jackson for missing a meeting, though completely
justified, was a harbinger of things to come. I’ll admit I saw very little of
the loss to Arizona because I’d rather watch decent football around the NFL on
RedZone, but what I saw was flat out ugly.
Mike
Vick threw another terrible interception. I know he was missing Jackson and,
for portions of the game, Jeremy Maclin, but that had little to do with the interception.
Whatever magic he found for 10 games last season is gone along with the myth that
Philadelphia is where quarterbacks come to learn under Reid. Arizona is one of
the worst defenses in the league, and held Vick to 128 yards passing.
As
much as the offense isn’t getting it done, 5 of the Eagles 6 losses have come when
they started the fourth quarter with the lead. If anyone thinks that doesn’t go
back to hiring the offensive line coach to run the defense, they’re just not
paying attention. And, of course, Arizona was playing with a rookie quarterback
who may have just supplanted another guy from Reid’s so-called quarterback
factory, Kevin Kolb.
Reid
lost the fans long ago. Now, the problem with Jackson strongly suggests he’s
losing the team after a season of smaller signs of that possibility popping up.
The only question seems to be when will he lose his job.
The
dream is now 3-6 and even more done.
