Pretty amazing, right? Tell me you haven't had similar thoughts for the last 11 seasons. Negative atmosphere? Smart-aleck articles? Running the coach and the team down when things don't go exactly right? Mercy. It's as if he looked inside your soul.
Let's be honest: When things don't go well, this city can't wait to rip you. We love to make fun of the way you struggle with clock management and challenge flags, and especially of your untreated allergy to the running game. Then you went out and got Michael Vick and put together this whole Wildcat package thing, which was a pretty bad move if you were hoping people would ease up.
But, hey, this West character is onto something. He's tired of sarcastic stories (these tabloids today, you know?) and he wants journos to call and ask how they can help.
Sadly, you don't pick up the phone anymore when Page 2 is on the line, but we want to aid you, anyway.
Your Eagles are 5-3 and still have a good shot to win the division and make a deep push in the playoffs. Five friendly suggestions, then, to help your team do just that:
1. Put the Wildcat down for good. It's time to put the beast out of its misery.
2. Run the ball. Please.
3. Use DeSean Jackson more. You remember him, don't you? Small guy with crazy speed? Dallas did a good job taking him away - but so did you. Only five targets, Andy? That's all? He's your best offensive weapon. If he isn't getting double-digit touches, something's wrong. Besides, he just hired Drew Rosenhaus. It's in your best interest to keep him happy. No one wants another driveway workout/news conference.
4. Teach Asante Samuel how to wrap up people. Every time he waves at a receiver and misses an arm tackle, an angel dies.
