After limping to a 3-3 record, the Eagles decided someone had to go -- and chose defensive coordinator Juan Castillo. Was a change needed after Philly blew a 10-point lead at home in the fourth quarter of Sunday's OT loss to the Lions? Or was Castillo the fall guy for a team that has as many interceptions (eight) as TD passes and is ranked 31st in points per game (17.2) and turnover ratio (minus-9)? Discuss and vote below.

• Phillies113: "He wasn't the only reason the Eagles have underperformed; he's just the first casualty."
• SRT469: "It looks like the the end of the line for Reid. He's the guy that thought it was a good idea to hire Castillo as defensive coordinator in the first place. He's running out of scapegoats for the Eagles annual failures."
• BrooklynsFinest21: "This decision didn't come from Reid. If it did, he wouldn't have "backed up" Castillo yesterday. Reid's days in Philly are numbered, because you can sense power being taken away from him by his bosses."
• pittpanthers2008: "The Eagles are still throwing the ball 50 times a game. Put the ball in Vick's hands that many times, and you're gonna have a defense that suffers. Feed McCoy more, and you'll a big difference."
• eagletones2005: "The day Todd Bowles was signed, the writing was on the wall. Why even start the season with Castillo? This organization is frustrating to say the least."
• Achak32090: "14th in defense in ppg despite constantly having to pick up the slack from the offense. 31st in offense based on ppg. Wait, who got fired?"
