IMO Reid is overrated, honestly, Has that fat slob ever won a big game, no. Tice is a fat slob too but as of right now if Minny doesnt turn the ball over they could spell trouble. Best of luck to you this weekend
Have to disagree here Rex. The guy reached 50 wins faster than anyone in team history and among active NFL coaches in their first five full NFL seasons, Reid's 51-29 (.638) mark is ranked 4th behind Joe Gibbs (51-22, .699 from 1981-85), Mike Shanahan (54-26, .675 in 1988 and from 1995-98), and Bill Cowher (53-27, .663 from 1992-96). (stolen from the Eagle team site) He's 11-1 in primetime games and has won coach of the year twice. I've seen my share of crappy coaches in Philly and he's not one of them.
I know you will bring up that he hasn't won in the NFC title game, but against the Rams they were ten point underdogs, and against the Panthers they played without their starting RB, without their whole starting DL, and lost McNabb half way through the game. While they lost the "big one", it can be argued that they had no business even being in that game last year.
Will give it to you they should have beat the Bucs in 2003, that game still makes me sick. If they lose this year he can be questioned for resting everyone the last two weeks of the season, which will be fair. Hopefully that will not be an issue.
Don't mean to jump down your throat but I've watched Reid build this team from the scrap heap in the late 90's and keep it at a high level for a while now, and I appreciate what he's done for the franchise.
Best of luck to the guys playing Philly, god knows I'll be rooting for you.
