The curse of Vick continues. They have had nothing but bad luck since the Eagles sold their soul to the devil for a few more wins.

if your whole offense unravels because of the loss of one o-lineman, then how good were you in the 1st place? drives you crazy, but life continues. dude, stop thinking about sacking vick so much. kinda g*y...

This was the first time in my 41 years of life that I truly felt that the Eagles were positioned to win it all...Now it's over.
I can only hope that the Eagles brain trust who really had an A+ off season can pull one more rabbit out of a hat.
The loss of Jason Peters is as profound as losing Vick, DJax, Nnamdi, and TCole all at once.
What kind of "practice" was held to allow for this insurmountable loss to occur..? It's still March!
People who understand the game know that the O-line and specifically LT MUST be great to win.
Think D.Ware, JPP, and orakpo (6 games)..??
Solution: Trade for a disgruntled JAKE LONG Now!
or, Go birds 2014?!?

The Eagles were going nowhere with Lurie, Reid and Vick anyway. This just moves the inevitable key loss closer to the beginning of the season.

Big time loss! No way he should consider returning this year.

I have been critical of thier decisions until they grabbed Ryans, a great move. Let's give them some slack, believe they will make the right move without over-reacting and wasting the #15th spot and/or loosing an opportunity to get a top Dtackle or even Barron as a premier safety.

Does anyone know how the salary cap is handled with a player that goes on injured reserve and is out for the season? Would the Birds be allotted the equivalent of his salary back to their cap since Peters has a big number?
