Unfair in my opinion. he led the team to the best record in NFL (14-2). He wasn't the one on the field screwing up in the playoffs... what ever i wonder where he will go next

He is just very unlucky come playoff time :-s

-EaglesFan

Well, I really don't think "luck" has much to do with it

. Maybe losing once or twice in the playoff is just bad luck, be he loses consistently. If you can't get it done in the playoffs, when it matters, then people don't want you. Your regular season record is rather irrelevant when you lose your very first playoff game anyway. Sure he wasn't on the field playing, but that's beside the point. Coaches don't play the game, they coach it. If you watched the game, you would see that he didn't do much to win the game. He's had more than one chance to prove himself and he hasn't. If I were the Chargers, I'd be more worried about losing my coordinators than losing Marty.

Well they just hired Norv Turner for Head Coach. I see 9-7 or worse in the Chargers Future

-EaglesFan

I'll bet against you on that. They'll go at least 10-6.

! I really hope they don't draft another wide receiver

. They need quite a bit of help, it'll be interesting to see what they do in the draft.

Eagles acquire LB Spikes from Bills

Quote:

PHILADELPHIA (March 26, 2007) -- The Philadelphia Eagles acquired Pro Bowl linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb from the Buffalo Bills for defensive tackle Darwin Walker and a conditional draft pick in 2008.

"This is something that has been brewing," Bills general manager Marv Levy said. "Takeo is a good person, but we wanted to strengthen our defensive tackles. They've been looking for a linebacker and I think they wanted an experienced backup quarterback."

A nine-year NFL veteran, Spikes was slow recovering last year from a right Achilles' tendon torn in Week 3 of the 2005 season.

Spikes played his first five seasons with Cincinnati and had been seeking a contract extension with Buffalo. But he grew increasingly frustrated playing for a Bills team that's constantly shuffling its roster and coaching staff, and has gone seven seasons since last making the playoffs.

Spikes, a former first-round pick, is a big upgrade at linebacker for the Eagles, who have struggled at that spot the past few seasons.

Holcomb has made 21 starts over an 11-year career. He joins A.J. Feeley on the quarterback depth chart behind Donovan McNabb.

Saints-Colts to open 2007 NFL season

Quote:

PHOENIX (March 26, 2007) -- The NFL announced its 2007 Kickoff Weekend national television schedule -- including a Monday night doubleheader -- and its Thanksgiving Day national TV tripleheader.

In a tradition that began in 2004, the Super Bowl champion annually hosts the NFL Thursday night season kickoff the following year. Sept. 6 at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC, the Super Bowl XLI champion Colts will welcome the New Orleans Saints to Indianapolis. The game will have an "All-Star" flavor, featuring the starting quarterbacks from the 2007 Pro Bowl -- Indianapolis' Peyton Manning and the Saints' Drew Brees.

On Sunday, Sept. 9, the FOX national doubleheader game at 4:15 p.m. ET will send the defending NFC champion Chicago Bears to visit the AFC West champion San Diego Chargers, led by reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson and new head coach Norv Turner. San Diego (14-2) and Chicago (13-3) led their respective conferences in regular-season wins in '06.

The Sunday night primetime game (8:15 p.m. ET) on NBC will feature the NFC Wild Card Playoff teams of last season, as the New York Giants visit the Dallas Cowboys, led by new head coach Wade Phillips.

Monday night, Sept. 10, ESPN will host a Monday Night Football doubleheader featuring two critical division matchups. The first game (7 p.m. ET) will send the AFC North titlist Baltimore Ravens to Cincinnati to battle the Bengals. The MNF nightcap (10:15 p.m. ET) will be an NFC West matchup, as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The game will showcase talented young quarterbacks -- Arizona's Matt Leinart (No. 10 overall selection in last year's draft) and the 49ers' Alex Smith (No. 1 overall pick in '05).

On Sunday, Sept. 9, CBS, which has U.S. Open tennis in the late afternoon slot, will carry a lineup of early regional NFL games. CBS will televise the NFL national doubleheader late game in Week 2.

Continuing an innovation introduced last season, the NFL will serve up three nationally-televised games on Thanksgiving Day, including the first of NFL Network's late-season primetime offerings of 2007.

The early game (FOX, 12:30 p.m. ET) will be an NFC North meeting of the Green Bay Packers at the Detroit Lions. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, the second game (CBS, 4:15 p.m. ET) will be a family affair when the New York Jets travel to the Dallas Cowboys. It will be a matchup of running back brothers -- 28-year-old Thomas Jones, recently acquired by the Jets in a trade, against his sibling, 25-year-old Julius of the Cowboys. This will be the second meeting of their professional careers -- Julius (150 yards, two touchdowns) got the better of Thomas' Bears on Thanksgiving Day in 2004 in a 21-7 Cowboys' victory.

The Thanksgiving tripleheader continues at 8:15 p.m. ET on NFL Network when the Colts visit the Atlanta Falcons, led by new head coach Bobby Petrino.

The announcement of these national TV games was made March 26 by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at the NFL Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona.

The rest of the 2007 regular-season schedule will be completed and announced in April.

I don't think you guys lost much with Joe Horn leaving. The Saints have one the best chances of making it in the NFC

The Saints defiantly have a good chance.

But Reggie Bush... C'mon. The guy had a crappy rookie year, and people still say he's the second coming of Barry Sanders. One of the most overrated players in pro sports. :-s

I have to disagree, Bush is a great player. It's not like the Saints had an outstanding offensive line last season. Granted, he sure as hell shouldn't be be compared to Hall of Famers, he's still a stand out guy (minus the whole USC incident). The Saints should be better this season and so should Bush. He's better than most backs when it comes to recieving and he can return kicks. With Deuce pounding and Reggie taking the lighter runs, the Saints should do well on the ground. :wink:

Well I guess you're right, but I was still totally unimpressed for when he did get touches. Too much hype, too little production. :-s
