Philadelphia Eagles in 2011

Post by LeonardRachiele »

he firing of Andy Reid  had very little to do with the 2012 season.  I pointed to the four losses in the NFC Title game and playoff losses to New Orleans in 06 and Green Bay in 2010.  The 2011 season also loomed big when we consider the fate of the New York Giants. Tom Coughlin in 2011 was 7-7 after 14 weeks.  The Giants would have fired him if the team had not won the last two games.  NY of course got hot and won the Super Bowl.  The New York Giants with a 9-7 record had the worst regular season of any Super Bowl Champion.  The team broke their record of 10-6 four years earlier.

The Philadelphia Eagles were 4-8 after 12 weeks and we remember easily winning the final four games. The Birds got hot too late.  Of the eight losses only two were lopsided.  Had Philadelphia won just one of those duds, our team would have won  NFC East.  They had a better record within the division.   Maybe that winning streak would have continued a long way in the Post Season.  Allot hangs on every game.  Sometimes a game hangs on one  play.
