2012 was anything but a season where Spags had an honest shot with a full season that is normal by NFL standards.

Spags just didn't spend a season with a team having a normal season with a present and accounted for Head Coach, General Manager.

I'm no Spags fan, I don't think our players were smart enough to pull his scheme off anyway.

Just saying he wasn't fired because it didn't work, he was fired because when the worst defense in history finishes a season, regardless of circumstances, someone's head has to roll.

Disagree completely. The entire scheme placed square pegs in round holes. It wasn't just that it was a complicated scheme.

Place Troy Polamalu in a Tampa-2 and he's freaking abused all game long. Let him play his traditional SS role near the LOS and he's a hall of famer, likely 1st ballot.

Nnamdi Asomugha's was one of the best man-to-man CB's in the entire league, but when placed in the Eagles mostly zone schemes he flat out sucked. They're ready to run him out of Philly as much as we wanted Jason David gone.
