Well the Philadelphia Eagles fell short Saturday night. So, the championship drought continues. Now, I am no expert in football by any means. But, I really thought that they should have gone for it on one of the final plays of the night. Down by a field goal, I figured they had nothing to lose when it was 4th and 15. Now normally you wouldn't do that but the amount of time left, wouldnt give them much of a shot to stop the running game of NO and run down the field again. I mean, yeah they may not have been able to get the first down, but at that point they had a better shot of that than preventing the Saints from cutting their throats altogether. I don't know.
I would like my readers that know a bit more about football to weigh in on what they think Andy Reid should have done.
Its over now, but at least they made it interesting. As they say around here. There is always next year! Bring on the phils.

Andy Reid should...
1. Take a class on clock management with his QBs.
2. Become a little less predictable/draw up some new plays. I correctly called 90% of the plays he ran on Saturday. Yes, the punt on 4th & 15 too.
3. Send his receivers and running backs to a football camp to learn how to catch a football.
4. Get some height at wide receiver. We're not going to get anywhere if all of our receivers are as tall as the opponents' defensive backs.
5. Get some linebackers who can shed a block and tackle someone. Brian Dawkins won't be around forever.
6. Tell McNabb to improvise when he has to. If Peyton Manning can run 7-8 yards for a 1st down without getting killed, what is McNabb afraid of?
7. Teach your cornerbacks how to properly attack a running play - outside in. There is never a reason for a running back to run around a cornerback.
That's all... for now.
