Things that Bother Me...The 2011 Philadelphia Eagles
Don't get me wrong I have been an Eagles fan my entire life. I have been through the hardships of having Bobby Hoying as a quarterback in the late 90's, going to the NFC championship a bunch of times winning only once under the direction of D-Mac. This year however is an absolute disgrace. Everyone predicted the Eagles to be some kind of "dream team," but this dream is only a nightmare. First off when your backup quarterback aka Vince Young, who might I add hasn't taken a snap in the regular season dubbed this team the "dream team," you know you have problems. The Eagles signed everyone and their brother this off season, yet they can't find a way to function with them. Babbin, has been an absolute animal and has proven to be a huge pick up, but what pisses me off to no end is Nnamdi Asomugha. Not going to lie, before the Eagles signed him I had no idea who he was, apparently he was the next best thing to Revis, but from what I can see, I can play corner back better than him. In Asomugha's defense, the Eagles have really screwed him up. Their defense since Johnson's passing has not been up to par, but that doesn't mean it should be this bad. Asomugha, played a man to man coverage while with Oakland, and had a shit load of interceptions, so the question is why don't the Eagles play man to man coverage to maximize the talent they have on the field. The answer is, Andy Reid and his coaching staff are just idiots, who need to realize what they have. The offense has been decent, but they need to hold on to the ball and learn when and when not to run out of bounds. Once Jeff Lourie gets rid of Reid, the Eagles will finally become a threat in the NFl and this supposed "Dream Team," can finally emerge
