The End of an Era

Monday night signaled the end of the Andy Reid era in Philadelphia.  The game featured a little bit of everything that those calling for Reid's head could have wanted: turnovers, poor tackling, lack of quality depth apparent from the poor drafts, and a team that appears to have given up. The 2012 incarnation of the Philadelphia Eagles is simply not fun to watch. 

Owner Jeffrey Lurie said 8-8 was not acceptable.  What if the Eagles get to 8 losses before the season ends?  Given the length of the relationship between owner and coach, I fully anticipate Lurie allowing Andy to coach out the rest of the season.  What if, given everything Andy has been through personally and on the field, he actually resigns?  I believe that is a more likely scenario then an in-season firing.  Either way, only time will tell.
