We loved the Vet
To me, the real Philadelphia Eagles (and fans) died when they left the Vet. I miss it so much. The Linc is soulless. It's not the same.

What a dump, but it was ours. Grew up walking those concourses and outside ramps.
Bring back the kelly green and hard-hitting defense. The Linc is soulless. Still feels like an opposing stadium.

As bad of a baseball park as it was, it was that awesome of a football stadium.

I wish they would tear down the Linc and rebuild the Vet. The place is a morgue.

See ya, Juan
Here's a sampling of fan reaction to the firing of defensive coordinator Juan Castillo.
Castillo is class act. As far as him feeling like he let people down - meh, it's football.
There are bigger things in
life. And he'll resurface in the league soon enough.

It's not Juan's fault that Andy Reid made him defensive coordinator on a whim. All the best to him.

Wait. Reid fired the defensive coordinator of the 12th-best defense in the league and kept the offensive coordinator of the league's worst offense?
All because of one player's [Nnamdi Asomugha's] comments?
The same player who should not be playing as a starter because he's been burned by every offense that he's played this season?
Unbelievable.

I never wanted Castillo as defensive coordinator. It didn't make sense.
You have to spend a lifetime eating and sleeping your job to make it as one of the best of the best in the NFL. Juan did that in offense. You just can't switch to defense.
I was in favor of letting him go when the experiment bombed at the end of the first year. Now I actually think he is doing a good job, and now Andy fires him.
I do not care what Reid's winning record states, I can't stand Reid any longer.
If he had any class at all, he would have resigned, not fired Castillo.
