I think people are making a huge mistake comparing themselves to these two teams. They aren’t even in the same league. The first thing that separates them is coaching. It’s literally amazing that Tom Coughlin is always on the hot seat and Andy Reid gets a pass. Reid can’t hold a candle to him in a few important areas. He just cannot make adjustments on the fly. He refuses to admit or address his obvious weaknesses and just has a terrible record at choosing personnel.
The next area is the quarterback. Both Manning and Brady are true pocket passers. Vick does not make as good as decisions on the fly and is not even close in accuracy. He hasn’t demonstrated he can take a team on his back and win one in the clutch. The Giants defense has size, the Eagles defense has speed. The Eagles wide receivers have speed, the Giant wideouts have size. We all see what advances in January.
Again as I said the more things change the more they stay the same. As every team is making announcements everyday making changes to improve. The Eagles sit stubborn and quiet. With Marty Mornhinweg possibly headed to the Colts, Spagnola to New Orleans, seems like they have a different idea of where the gold standard is. They need to go through the motions the next 12 months as I expect they will. They will have trouble winning 8 games ( you heard it here first) Then blow this team up and get Bigger and Stronger.
And I hate to say it Vick lovers but find someone even dumber than them to take him off their hands. They will NEVER win with him or this coach. So I think it’s time everyone in Philly joins me in the real world. This will get real bad next year. I will be shocked to see Reid make it to Thanksgiving. Again you heard it here first.
