Philadelphia Eagles: How To Fix This Sad Excuse for an Organization

We all know the story: The Eagles tied the 1-8 Bengals, Andy Reid didn't seem to care again, and Donovan McNabb didn't know that there were ties in football.

Watching these three things has just become the life of an Eagles fan. The team continuously disappoints on field, Andy Reid just cannot coach, and there aren't enough tissues in the world for Donovan McNabb.

So, instead of adding a list of my complaints like my fellow Eagles fans, I'm going to actually do something about it. I'm going to make a list of how to save this franchise.

Here it is. My 10 ways to fix the Philadelphia Eagles.

 

10. Let Al Davis buy the team. He will finally go out and get top-salary free agents every year like we want. Who said they had to actually be good?

 

9. Jeff Garcia anyone? Am I the only one seeing this?

 

8. Go out and get another small, no-hands receiver. Seriously, a receiver with no-hands should catch better than these guys.

 

7. Hold open-tryouts, like the Eagles 30 years ago. This time, it's for coaches.

 

6. Pull a Chase Utley. Go ahead, say some profanity on television. We'll love you for that.

 

5. Tell Andy Reid to have his own postgame rant. This way, we can have a funny Coors Light commercial, too.

 

4. Seriously, Jeff Garcia anyone? Is this thing on?

 

3. Move to Arizona. Those fans didn't know there were ties either.

 

2. A.J. Feeley then? And Bill Cowher while we're at it.

 

1. Hire me as coach, make me quarterback, and let me buy the team. I'm a Philly fan. I know everything. Period.

    Really funny. Nice work. I just hope this doesn't move you up to #2 in Philadelphia Eagles.

    Har Har, well thought out waste of time. Try sitting McNabb and bringing Kolb in, maybe have a little training class on the game and rules of football, and begin hunting for a new head coach. Sounds like a smarter approach to a slumping team.

      Thanks for the well thought out response. If you have seen my articles, or the end of the article, you would see I said all the things you did.
