Why do I get the feeling we just bought ourselves another year of Andy Reid.
For those of you who, like me, were long gone by the time the Vince Young found Riley Cooper in the back of the end zone to lift the Birds to a 17-10 win, brace yourself.
I will never root against the Eagles. It’s not in my makeup. But I also believe it is time for the Andy Reid era to come to a close.
But last night’s win in the Meadowlands just might have bought Reid another year.
The Eagles managed to beat the NFC East-leading Giants without Michael Vick. Yes, that was Vince Young who engineered that winning drive, something Vick has been unable to do as the Eagles managed to blow a series of fourth-quarter leads this year. Sure, Young also threw three interceptions. But when he had to deliver, he did. And the Eagles got a big win.
There is part of me that, for all their other problems this year, believes that if if Vick simply doesn’t turn the ball over this team is leading the division.
Right now the Eagles are two games back of the Giants.
If they had lost last night, the season would have been over. But they didn’t. Weirder things have happened. Remember last year? The Eagles face a big test Sunday against the Patriots (who play tonight and will be operating on a short week, although they don’t have to travel).
Win that game and anything is possible.
And yes, that includes the return of Andy Reid.
Time’s apparently still yours, coach.
