Finally, my last complaint towards Andy Reid is his inability to win.
Apparently, Andy has never heard the saying "Just win, baby!"
This team has gone from a team full of potential to a team with very little hopes of making the playoffs. Sure, you can blame the players for part of it, but a ton of blame has to be put on Reid. He just doesn't know how to win those big games.
He's lost three straight to the Giants, lost a huge game to the Cowboys earlier this season, lost another huge game to the Redskins earlier this season, and lost yet another huge game to the Bears earlier this season.
We can even move back to the Patriots game last year that the Eagles should have won. Another game is the Bears game last year when the Eagles let the Bears make an impossible comeback drive to win the game.
In all of those big time games, the Eagles were ahead and should have won, but bad play-calling and poor leadership from Reid let this team down.
All of these losses just aren't coincidences.
When you have this many big impact games, it's suggested you win a couple. Reid hasn't even been able to win one lately. The last prime-time game the Eagles won was in 2006 against the Green Bay Packers in Week Four. That's seven prime-time games ago. Seven.
When you have Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, DeSean Jackson, Kevin Curtis, a good offensive line, Asante Samuel, Sheldon Brown, Trent Cole, Quintin Mikell, and a good line backing core, why should you lose all of those games? This team is better than this. Way better than this.
The major excuse for this team's misery is coaching in my mind.
It's time for change.
Change the coach. Hey, even change the quarterback. We just need change.
Anybody seen Bill Cowher lately?
