THE STINK AT THE LINC: Vikes Bag Birds 24-14

THE EAGLETARIAN: Eagles coach Andy Reid pulled no punches after his team’s shocking, 24-14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday night at Lincoln Financial Field.  “It was a pathetic job. It was a complete tail-whipping” Reid said. “Terrible, terrible job. It wasn’t only the players. It was the coaches. It was me. It was terrible, in every phase. It was terrible. The whole offense was awful.  “They [Vikings] came to play. We didn’t come to play. You gotta play, at all positions. You gotta play. [We had] penalties, missed assignments, too many people on the field, missed substitutions. Terrible. Absolutely terrible.” The loss locked the Eagles into the third seed in the NFC playoffs. They will host either the Giants, Bucs or Packers on Jan. 8 or 9. MORE
