Reid Dissects Eagles' Season-Ender

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It was more of the same from Eagles' head coach Andy Reid this afternoon as he reviewed the season-ending 21-16 loss in the first round of the playoffs to the Green Bay Packers.

"Obviously, the third-down situation on both sides of the ball was a huge factor," Reid (above) told reporters on Monday.  "We've got to do a better job of getting off the field and staying on the field from an offensive standpoint.  And then special teams were a factor, and we left some plays out on the field in all three phases."

Overall, Reid looked at the glass as half-full for his team.

"We came from a position that most people didn't think we'd be able to do at the beginning of the year," he said, "and that was to make it to the playoffs and win the NFC East.  My hat goes off to the effort of the coaches and the playoffs."

Eagles' quarterback Michael Vick also spoke with reporters and said he definitely wants to be an Eagle again next year.
