How is it that the helmet mic's ever stop working. The fact that there is ever technical difficulties with them when Dan invests so much money into this team is shocking to me.
You've got thousands of people working for you. You are a billionaire. Why don't you spend a little cash, and order the system re-built ground up with new state of the art equipment.
Is all of his money tied up in labor?

Not only that but our mics seem to stop working at the worse times (last year against Carolina??)

Aren't the radios provided by the league?

Well, then we have more(32 owners) money from which to pool to get a decent system in place. Just a little consistency in this cheater's world, that's all.

The reason that he sent the FG team on w/ 14 seconds left was b/c the coaches thought that the ref's would run off 10 seconds b/c of the penalty. It turns out they didn't run off the 10 seconds b/c of the False start which of course left 14 seconds. So...they really thought there would be only 4 seconds left therefore just allowing time enough to kick a FG. When Reid called time out they realized that there was time to try one more pass into the endzone....thank god.
Didn't the Eagles only have like 9 players on the field or something like that for that near field goal attempt? Why aren't we questioning Reid's coaching skills there? And to think there are people here who call him one of the five greatest coaches of all time.

I guess im more of a family minded sports fan. And I coach little league baseball. And i think that if you can't parent, you can't coach. So I don't put him even close to the top 5 of coaches. Family first.

I don't think it's his parenting skills at this point. His kids are "big boys" they can make their own decisions. Obviously they are making the right ones. Not Andy Reid's fault.

I think the delay of game was just a minor coaching mistake along with having a new QB at the helm. However I think the over all issue of "managing" the game goes farther.
It seems to happen all the time: we are making a drive down the field and its like we enter the red zone allmost unexpectedly. Instead of continueing the drive and getting a TD we call a time out to mull things over. It drives me nuts, why cant we finish a drive without getting flusterd?

In all seriousness, since the whole spying thing happened, alot of teams have reported that their communications go out at the worst times when they're in someone else's stadium. Is that a coincidence? I doubt it.
