eagles games are sold out.. every which one even if Rock Hard Ten was named starting QB

Good to see common sense prevailing with the Birds' coaching staff on this one


"One dimensional" ... are you joking, slot???

Mike has like the fourth or fifth highest passer rating in the league so far … not to mention what he can do with his legs.

This guy is hungry, confident, and clearly ready to lead this offense.

agreed. He played extremely well in both games.

If Detroit looked like the '85 Bears, I don't think the Eagles would have put 35 on the board the other day.

I'll always contend that a team that wants to win won't have Michael Vick as their starting quarterback. It didn't work in Atlanta, and it won't work in Philly. This is a 6-10 team waiting to happen.

P.S. - the Lions have the worst secondary - nay, the worst defense overall - in the entire league. If not for LeSean McCoy having the best game of his career, you're talking about an Eagles loss to the woeful Lions and an 0-2 start. Anybody who actually watched the game the other day (I'm presuming only AntiTrust and myself did based on comments here) would realize that Vick was hardly the reason the Eagles won the game. This isn't baseball; stats can definitely lie.

Want to wager on the 6-10 thing?

It didn't "work" in atlanta? Didnt they make it to the NFC Title game? Is that not working?

He got sacked 6 times and there was pressure all day. Hence the 85 bears comment. And if you indeed watched the game you would see that they sent blitz after blitz against them all day long. You did watch the game didnt you?

Now I know you didn't watch the game. Blitz after blitz? Really? If they were blitzing so much, wouldn't more than one of the five Detroit sacks or three of the 11 QB hits have been from a non-defensive lineman? Detroit is hardly a blitzing team.

they were throwing zero blitzes out there (blitz more than can be blocked)

You guys could have rushed 3 guys the whole game and still had 5/6 sacks.

No especially with a guy like Vick. Vick was making the bandits miss. He was getting hit by the collapsing pressure. But you knew that.

Regardless, either way, despite the protection issues he played superbly.

Contend away!

I guess maybe that 6-10 thing might be out the window there sparky?

Reid has done great things with Vick but Morris in Tampa has to be coach of the year unless they implode the rest of they way.
