Time for Change

There's a time to be reasonable, but this isn't one of those times.

Today's brutal 38-20 loss to the New England Bradys is one of the very worst Eagles games we can remember. It is certainly the worst loss in the Andy Reid Era, and one that makes clear the need for this franchise to start over with a new head coach in 2012.

(CSN just now aired a rare Eagles PR spot. It ended with "HEART" in all caps. Think Jeff Lurie is feeling some heat? The Eagles NEVER buy air time.)

It has been 14 years and it is time. There were on-field disasters. There were sideline disasters, as CSN's Derrick Gunn reported that OC Marty Morningweg and D-line coach Jim Washburn got into a verbal altercation during the game (The Daily News' Les Bowen corroborated Gunn's report).

Vince Young was okay with his performance. Reid said for the thousandth time that he has "to do a better job." This team is coming apart at the seams and Reid is right - he is the one responsible. It is now time for Lurie to do the responsible thing and remove the coach who has occupied the top job since the tail end of the 20th century.

All things must end. Good, bad or otherwise. Losing eight of their last nine home games isn't just bad, it's ugly. The fans deserve better than this.
