Reid must sleep in messy bed he's created
— Firing defensive coordinator Juan Castillo was just the beginning. To paraphrase the revelation of Sergeant Elias (Willem Dafoe) to soldier Chris (Charlie Sheen) in the most meaningful scene of the movie Platoon, the Philadelphia Eagles are gonna...

Monday Morning Quarterback: Nowhere to go from here but down
Eagles InsidersConfusion reigns for the Philadelphia Eagles these days. From their play calling to their game management to their communication to their hopeless predicament, nobody knows what's next. The only step left is for nobody to care. Even the players know...... -
Heads keep rolling at Eagles headquarters
Eagles InsidersMaybe that wasn't quite the peaceful transfer of a baton it was advertised to be when the Philadelphia Eagles announced earlier this year that Howie Roseman had assumed complete control of the football side of outgoing president Joe Banner's powers....... -
Film breakdown: The good and bad of Bryce Brown
Eagles InsidersIn an otherwise horrific season, Eagles fans finally had something to be encouraged by in last Monday's game against the Panthers. That would of course be Bryce Brown, who ran for 178 yards and two TDs on 19 carries. Brown...... -
Eagles defensive mess the result of years of neglect
Eagles InsidersThat Andy Reid had no experience as a coordinator before being hired to run the Philadelphia Eagles turned out not to matter when it came to building a consistent championship contender. That he had no experience whatsoever playing or coaching...... -
Unprecedented failures should end Reid's reign
— Never before have we seen this kind of entropic adversity under Andy Reid, the NFL's longest current tenured coach.
Not in his first season of 1999, when he was trying to rebuild the Eagles; not in 2005, when Terrell Owens went bad and Donovan...Tags: New England Patriots, Jeff Garcia, Football, Donovan McNabb, Arizona Cardinals

Spags to the Eagles? Connect the dots
Eagles InsidersWhether you believe the original report from the San Diego Union-Tribune yesterday connecting the dots between San Diego, St. Louis and Philadelphia, everything would seem to make sense. Reporter Kevin Acee has learned that Chargers general manager A.J.... -
Eagles Press Conference, January 10th
!["Okay, we'll talk about yesterday to start with here. I mentioned that there were some good things and there were some things we need to work on. Obviously the third down situation on both sides of the ball was a huge factor and we have to do a better job of getting off the field and staying on the field from an offensive standpoint. And special teams were a factor. We left some plays out on the field on all three phases. Not one person in particular, but when you add up the penalties and the efficiency on third down and you're playing a playoff game against a good football team, you obviously can't do that. Overall with the season, I thought there were some real positives we can take out of it. We were able to play some young players that I think were able to get valuable experience that will help us. Not only help their careers down the road, but also help us as a football team. We've seen some great leadership out of some of the young players. We came from a position that most people didn't think we'd be able to do at the beginning of the year and that was to make it to the playoffs and to win the NFC East. My hat goes off to the effort of the coaches and the players. We were all greedy at the end, which you have to be, and we wanted to advance and we just didn't play well enough there to do that. We gave ourselves a chance right down to the last play of it. We weren't able to finish it off. The offseason is important. It's important for the coaches and it's important for the players. The obvious, we know we need to get better in the red zone on both sides of the football. We know we need to do better on third down on both sides of the football and we need to eliminate the penalties that we've had over the last few years. People were disciplined in that area. As coaches and as players, as coaches we'll go back and we'll dissect everything starting with ourselves and then our schemes and then personnel. I expect the players to do the same. I expect them to go back and be real with themselves and be critical; be critical of themselves. We work on their weaknesses and turn those into strengths just like I'm asking the coaches and I'm asking myself to do the same thing."
