-I'm not usually calling for coaches heads after losses but I've seen enough of Juan Castillo as defensive coordinator. He has a ton of talent to work with yet guys are constantly out of position and receivers are repeatedly left open. How about actually hiring a defensive coach to coach the defense?
-As for Andy Reid, if things continue like this for the rest of the season, he needs to go, too. While he can't be blamed for everything, if you have this much talent to work with yet can't get them to play up to their ability, that has to be a reflection on the coach. If Reid isn't reaching his players, he isn't an effective coach. I would give him the rest of the year to spark something with this team or show him the door.
-Michael Vick had a brutal, brutal game. Sure, he was without DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin for much of the game, but Vick repeatedly made bad decisions with the football and struggled to get anything going through the air and should have been picked off 4 times. He has definitely come back to earth this season; I wonder if the Eagles regret giving him that big contract.
-We have established that LeSean McCoy is a beast. Why isn't he getting more carries in the 4th quarter? That he only had 17 touches in this game is completely the fault of the coaches.
-John Skelton threw for 315 yards against the Eagles "dream" secondary. Yep, that's John Skelton, Kevin Kolb's backup.
This season is definitely over now, Eagles fans. While they still have the talent to beat nearly every team on their schedule, this team just doesn't have the will to get it done.
