It's not like this part of the schedule is hard I mean the Cowboys then Skins and then the Panthers, I'm sure Lurie thought they would win at least all 3 if not 2 games. It's not just losing either its how they have lost all year.
This team should be 1-9, and its a miracle they are not, the Eagles and the Chiefs right now are the two worst teams in the NFL.
I also think the way Foles played against one of worst defenses in the NFL just goes to show either him and Vick both stink or this whole team just stinks.

Next Monday is really gonna be uncomfortable with Gruden in the box and the fans screaming "fire Andy".
If what happened Sunday happens next Monday for the Eagles, then I don't think Reid coaches another game in Philly after that. It is one thing to get it handed to you on a regional brodcast on early afternoon Sunday but quite another to get it handed to you on MNF with the whole country watching.

There is also a Thursday game looming against the Bengals in the future.

How is any part of a schedule considered easy when a team is 3-7 and lost 6 games in a row? At this point any team can beat you regardless of what their record is this season. I just don't see who they can beat on the schedule from what they have remaining because all the teams have better QB's

RG3
Romo
Dalton
Cam Newton
Eli manning
Josh Freeman

The only possible wins I can see is against the skins and panthers since they are not in playoff contention.

I really would not be surprised or mad if they lose the Monday Night game at this point. Sort of a numbness when watching Eagles games. TBH the aftermath of that game will be a lot more interesting if the eagles lose, see what Lurie does.

I wonder how loud Lurie is going to turn up the sound system when the entire stadium is chanting "fire Andy"? Or how many signs he is going to have taken away and people kicked out of the stadium?

If someone had told me the night they beat the Giants that they would bet me my rent for October and November that the Eagles won't win another game until late Nov or Dec, I would be living in LOVE PARK right now LOL.

I mean who would expected the Eagles to fall to 3-7 after starting 3-1? The last collapse similar to this was in 1994 but I was not living in philly at the time so I don't know how the fans were acting.

At this point idk who I want to coach the Eagles next year. I think Gruden, Cowher and Billick have all been overhyped a bit. Sure they all have a Super Bowl ring but no coach has ever won a Super Bowl with two different teams. Not saying it can't happen I'd just rather see somebody with new ideas. Anyway with that said, since chanting "Fire Andy" is pretty much irrelevant at this point because it's pretty much a forglone conclusion that he's gonna go what if, with Gruden in the box, all the fans start chanting "We want Gruden!!". That would be an interesting situation and I could seriously see it happening.

Gruden is definitely overhyped. When he team won the SB the next year his team missed the playoffs while the team they beat in the NFC Championship was right back there the next year.

So I don't get the Gruden hype
