I'm not able to see the actual game, just the NFL.com Game center
highlights..down 24-0 with less than 5 minutes in regulation it's obvious
that there's no way in hell that the Eagles are going to win, so why would
Reid have the starters out on the field? Is he really that stupid?
Playoffs begins next week so why risk an injury at this point?

They will beat the Cowboys in Dallas.
They just had one of those days last weekend.
I'm not a big fan of Ried, but I think they have enough character on
that team to rebound and beat those fucks next weekend.

They had all the ducks in a row to get a bye and not have to play this
weekend and they simply blew it. Now they have a very long road to haul
with little room for rest or mistakes.

How can you not be? He's not perfect but he's a pretty damn good
coach. Losing Bradley was *huge* for this team... and despite all
the other injuries, they've kept chugging along.

In a way, I was actually glad the Eagles lost this one. If the law of
average is going to bite them, let it do so in the post-season. Now
time for another 4-game run.

Reminds me of a team, not too long ago, who could have had home ice
advantage in the playoffs *and* a franchise record for not allowing
one shorthanded goal in a complete season...

But, I'm less worried about the Iggles. They took a week off, but
they should be humming nicely for the game. My only gripe is the game
the week before the Dallas game where they really had to push to get a
win vs a mostly mediocre team. Here's hoping that this is not the
downward slide it appears to be.

It's easy when you watch the games. He makes the most idiotic decisions
and after ten years as the HC, he still doesn't understand clock
management. How many NFL coaches that you know would go for it on 4th and
1 on their own 30 yard line in the 1st quarter? Or punt the ball away
with less than 3 minutes to go with no time-outs remaining instead of going
for the first down? I could go on and on. As a players coach who protects
his players and refuses to diss them during interviews and who manages very
good practices, he's tops in the NFL.

If they won, they could've taken a game off and rested. There's nothing
good from losing that game. Good news though, the reported on Philly.com
the Tony Romo has a new distraction by the name of Candice Crawford.
