I don't know why you randomly picked the last seven years as if it's going to make the argument for Del Rio any stronger. If we say eight years he's in the Super Bowl, followed by three straight conference titles games before that. In any case how many times have the Jaguars made the playoffs in the last seven years compared to the Eagles? I don't have the numbers in front of me, but seeing as Del Rio has made it twice in 9 years I bet it favors Philadelphia.
Kind of agree. This is also a game where there is TONS of physical contact. Shannon Sharpe was saying it best on the CBS pregame show. There are a LOT of dirty players that are way worse than Suh in the past, and probably present. Players at the bottom of piles stepping on fingers, poking people in the eyes, stepping on wrists, etc.
It's football. American football. Not lets all sit around in a circle and sing songs together. Players are paid to hit people and make it hurt. To take them out of the game or end their career? No. But a lot of those players who take the field know the dangers. The dude needs to control himself, no doubt, but if I'm his coach I tell him to use that aggression to sack the damn quarterback instead of trying to push some lineman's head into the ground after the whistle is blown.
No I'm very aware of Reid's accomplishments as the Eagles head coach but I've been saying for while, they weren't going to go all the way with him or McNabb. And now given, his results this year, I wouldn't be surprised if he went.
Exactly. I can already see Eagles fans whining and begging for Andy Reid back when their first new head coach has two straight losing seasons.
