So far for the Philadelphia Eagles the 2007 season is not looking bright. Siting at 2-4 after week 7, is not what the Eagles nor the Fans expected. After last weeks dismal 19-16 loss to pathetic Chicago Bears the season is looking short for the Eagles and Andy Reid. Is it time for Any Reid to go? The fans in Philadelphia are not patient we all know that. They are already calling for his departure.
Andy Reid has been with the Eagles since 1999. His 9 years with Eagles has been highly successful. With 82-52 record in his 9 years carrier he has managed his team to a 8 post season wins and 6 post season losses including Super bowl loss to Patriots in 2004.
The Eagles are off to their worst start since Andy Reid's first season as the head coach (1999), and with the other three NFC East teams off to strong starts, it might be too much to climb out of. Is Andy Reid to be blamed for the worst start? I think Andy Reid is not the only person to be blamed. I was looking at the tapes for past 2 games and I think he has been calling some good plays but the players are not executing. The red zone offense is terrible and Donovan McNabb is not getting to his receivers quickly. Offensive line needs to wake up and do better job. Receivers need to run better routs and catch the ball. Only thing I can blame Andy Reid is on Team Management. He has to get his player prepared mentally. On the field execution is all on players. The play calling on Sunday against Bears I thought was good. It was balance calling.
After seeing the success of Reid with this team for 9 years I am not ready to give up on him yet. I think the team will bounce back and will perform well. Even though NFC east is getting stronger I believe Dallas is the only threat. Lets wait and see after Dallas game and make decision on Reid. I would love to hear your feedback on Reid.

J,
Very good analysis of Reid situation. I agree with you after reading your blog that it is too early for Reid to say goodbye. We can not forget how well he has performed through out the years. But one thing I do want to say is that he should only handle coaching not player personal. He is GM and coach so I think he is better coach. He should say goodbye to GM job not coaching. Keep up the good blogs. I love some good NFL talks.
Kay,
Thanks for your comment. One thing Reid is not the GM. He is VP player personal. Tom Heckert is the GM of the Eagles. But I do agree with you that Reid should just be a coach not have any other responsibilities.
Good post.
