Passing Him By

i think the Eagles problems now go far deeper than just Andy Reid's mediocre player personnel moves.

An 80/20 pass-run ratio is absurd and insane in the nfl. but that is exactly what andy reid did today. what were he and Marty thinking?

TV said the wind was blowing at 17 mph with gusts of 30 mph. And this is the weather - to say nothing of the cold - that Reid decided to pass in all day long.

i'm not sure which is worse, the ridiculously unbalanced pass/run ratio or the fact that the Eagles didn't call a running play in the 4th quarter until their final drive. Put another way, the Eagles had 4 offensive series in the 4th quarter where they didn't call a single running play.

And this  pass-happy offense was missing two of its starting WRs in Kevin Curtis and Hank Baskett.

Reid's obsession with the pass is pathological. Today it couldn't have been more clear. And really, a new QB next year isn't going to change that bottom line.
