A move like that makes you think maybe they won't fire Reid. What a total train wreck.

They have to fire Reid. How can they not? If they don't they will be missing an awful lot of butts in the seats next season.

Reid won't be fired. This is what Lurie meant about 8-8 being unacceptable

So 3-13 is acceptable? It's not likely the Eagles will win another game this season.

This is just my opinion, but when he said 8-8 or worst won't be acceptable, I think he means that if that tuned out to be the final result then

Players will be released
Assistant coaches fired
Other staff fired


I don't believe it has anything to do with Andy reid

Was just listening to ESPN SportsCenter and Babin stated that Reid released him as a favor so he could catch on with another team that might need him for a post-season run. I did not know this, but Babin is only in the second year of a six year contract.

When you think about it, however, in these terms, then why isn't someone like Demeco Ryans also getting released?

Because it was a BS reason. This is the NFL. They don't release highly paid veteran players in mid season as a "favor".

It wasn't that long ago you said it was only going to be players based on an article. You seemed to have changed your mind.
