-The Patriots have a world-class offense but the Eagles defense was nothing short of terrible today. From botched coverage to bad play-calls to undisciplined penalties, the defense wasn't even close to slowing down the Patriots attack. It all starts with Juan Castillo, who somehow forget to come up with a game plan to stop Wes Welker, or any other Pats receiver for that matter. Castillo is in over his head and completely overmatched by opposing offensive minds and needs to be fired ASAP. Who would have thought that an offensive line coach wouldn't make a good coordinator?
-On that note, it's beyond clear that Castillo never should have been moved to the defensive coordinator spot. The man responsible for that hiring has to be held accountable, as well, so it's finally time for Andy Reid to go. Reid might yet be a great coach again but this team needs a fresh voice in the locker room. They also need someone who will make a better play call on a 4th and 1 at the goal line.
-DeSean Jackson played yet another terrible game, dropping at least two touchdowns and failing to make big plays in big spots. Jackson has cost himself millions of dollars with his terrible play and has basically played his way out of town. He simply doesn't do enough on the field to be worth the headache.
-Vince Young was actually pretty respectable, throwing 400 yards as the Eagles went into catch-up mode in the second half. He did have a few bad throws and an interception but Young filled in admirably for Michael Vick. There is definitely no quarterback controversy, however, as this is Vick's team when he is healthy.
-Only 14 touches for LeSean McCoy? Come on, Andy!
-The season is now over for the Birds. No miracle Wild Card birth. No miracle playoff run. It's time to face reality, this team needs to hit the reset button.
