As a long suffering Eagles Fan, I liked Andy Reid but absolutely agreed with his firing in Philly. Two reasons - 1) When 70,000+ fans, the opposing defense and coaching staff, the Fox announcers, and just about everyone in America watching - the Eagles play calling of Short Pass, Short Pass, Run, Punt. Follow up with repeat play call set #1, substitute long bomb on third series for opening play... got a LOT old - and Andy wouldn't change his ways. 2) When Andy drafted McNabb - he HAD to succeed with him! So to make up for Donovan's lack of arm strength and accuracy every receiver the Eagles had sacrificed Y.A.C. and their bodies from McNabb throwing at their feet to avoid interceptions!!! While the current Eagles coach Doug Pederson definitely mixes it up and keeps a nearly 50-50 run/pass mix and uses trick plays, his one saving grace is he Won the Super Bowl (and beat the Patriots doing it!) to relieve the stress <grin>
