Eagles Loss to Giants

Man, i have never screamed at the TV harder in my life, watching the Eagles last drive against the Giants tonight. I mean come on, Andy Reid has lost his edge. how the hell do you decide to run the ball on two consecutive downs (3rd and 4th) with Brian Westbrook who was struggling all game long, with 26 yards on 13 carries. I would have liked to see the ball in McNabb's hands, especially after having success in the air in the previous series. When is Andy Reid gonna wake up and Smell the roses, stick with what you are good at, pass the ball! The run didn't work in the Bears or the Redskins games, why the hell would it work now. Trust your QB and let him make a play! Teams have a game plan for WestBrook in short yardage situations...find alternatives.

Sure, McNabb wasn't sharp in the beginning and the birds turn the ball over a few times. Sure, the defense has always been suspect and it showed tonight with their inability to stop the run when it mattered, giving up 36 points. But when it comes down to it, a head couch should know the strengths and weaknesses of his team, enough to make the right calls and that, Andy Reid did not do. Its frustrating.
