The Philadelphia Eagles are 3-3 heading into a bye week. Coming out of the bye week on October 28th, they will face the undefeated Atlanta Falcons a team that's 6-0. Defensive backs coach Todd Bowles will replace fired Juan Castillo has defensive coordinator. Philadelphia is riding a two game losing streak after the defense couldn't hold a 1 point 4th quarter lead late in Pittsburgh. That last defensive sequence included a 3rd and 12 which Philadelphia gave up a 1st down to Pittsburgh. That was many of several plays that set up a game winning field goal for the Steelers in their 16-14 victory. Philadelphia lead Detroit 23-13 Sunday with about 5 minutes left to play. The Lions forced overtime and eventually won 26-23 in the extra period. Why did Andy Reid fire Castillo ? Why did Andy Reid hire Castillo ? Juan Castillo is a hard worker yet he comes from the offensive side of the football as an offensive line coach. Prior to the 2011 season Reid hired Castillo as defensive coordinator...go figure, 22 games later it's over.
