Bills 31, Eagles 24
Eagles play terribly, fall to 1-4
Rich Hofmann, Daily News Sports Columnist
BUFFALO -- It was a total team effort, and not in a good way. For three quarters Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium, the Eagles played an abysmal game on offense, an abysmal game on defense and an abysmal game by the coaching staff. Triple Abysmal, then -- and, no, it isn’t the name of an obscure IPA.
Then the Eagles made it interesting in the fourth quarter before losing to the Bills, 31-24. Only the future will tell us if that fourth quarter was meaningful, or just some camouflage for a team that is a lot more capable of playing wretched football than any of us ever suspected.
Trailing by 31-14 after three quarters, on merit, the combination of Mike Vick-to-DeSean Jackson woke them out of a slumber that featured four turnovers and some of the worst run defense, and worst tackling, any of us has seen by the Eagles since, well, since last week.
A 31-yard touchdown, a catch-and-run where Jackson tiptoed in along the sideline, brought the Eagles back to 31-21 with 14:51 left to play. A 26-yard catch by Jackson set up the 35-yard Alex Henery field goal that made it 31-24 with 9:29 left. That one could have been a touchdown, too -- Vick’s rushing score was called back because guard Danny Watkins was called for illegal hands to the face.
After the Eagles’ defense held -- not a misprint -- the Eagles had the ball on their own 20 and marched nicely down the field. With good blocking up front, Vick carved into the Bills’ defense with key completions to Jackson and Jason Avant. Faced with a third-and-3 at the Bills’ 25-yard line with 2 minutes remaining, a pass to Avant that was short of the first down line was intercepted kind of pried away from the Eagles’ receiver and intercepted by the Bills’ Nick Barnett. And that -- the Eagles’ fifth turnover of the day and Vick’s fourth interception -- was that.
Except for this final insult: with the Bills lined up to go for it on fourth-and-inches with 1:23 left, and with the Bills very obviously just calling signals in an attempt to get the Eagles to jump offsides -- a ploy that never works -- the Eagles’ Juqua Parker obliged.
Earlier, there were two memorable symbols of the Eagles’ futility. At the end of the first half, rather than kicking a field goal with 8 seconds remaining and (shockingly) no timeouts remaining, the Eagles decided to run a play instead, with Vick throwing an incompletion into the end zone. Despite their complaints that there should have been 1 second remaining, the officials ruled otherwise. It was a colossal error by Andy Reid.
Then, to open the second half, the Eagles tried a surprise onsides kick. Two things happened: 1) they didn’t recover and, 2) because they hadn’t waited for the referee’s whistle to put the ball in play, it wouldn’t have counted anyway.
What a mess.

Hello Andrew Luck!— Dexter- No, the Eagles will win just enough meaningless games at the end of the year to blow that too. And, Andy will make some lame excuse. He's like a politician just trying to keep his cushy job. — Fritz and Alice
- That's usually what happens. I'm not rooting for them to lose, but let's be honest we aren't going any place. That 8-8 record never does anything but hurt us in the draft. — Badhog
- How embarrassing can it get? Looked like a bad high school game.— Disco Dave
- Hey Egil fans,You take this much too seriously. You have a really fun team to watch. Enjoy! I want to entice a few players to join my team to play the Harlem Globe Trotters this Fall. We have a lot of fun losing every game. The Egils are naturals. Nobody could make up the stuff they do!
Red Klotz, owner— redklotz 
Comment removed.- The Bills went prevent defense, the scores by the Eagles in the 2nd half were meaningless.— JonKap
- Another weekend not wasted on Andy Reid. Just in from a bike ride.
Let's start planning all fans go to the Dallas Sunday night game with paper bags on their heads; aka NO Saints style. Maybe they'll get the message while their on national TV.— funlikethewind - not reids fault for int's and fumbles— fman727
Fire the fat man. Four consecutive losses, 52 consecutive scores in the red zone by opposing teams, high school teams tackle better than the Eagles. I don't want to hear that firing a coach this early isn't done in the NFL. Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher and Jeff Fisher are all available. These guys are proven winners. How could the be worse than fat Andy?- What a horrific week of sports in Philly. Feels like the old days again. All hype, no titles.— Lobo19722
- This team has turned into the Daniel Snyder Redskins. Spending big money for free agents doesn't overcome basic fundamentals. If only Andy Reid will do a better job of putting his players in position.— tbone pickins
- This team has to have the worst of luck!!!! I can't take it no more!!! If it's not 1 thing it's another and I gotta here people who haven't watched the game complain about the wrong people. Avant Defense, and stupid key linemen going to get a pass for this lost. I bet not 1 comment is directed to these key embarassments because I'm surrounded by idiots in this world!!!— shaad
- I just hope the idiots surrounding you make more sense than you. Luck has nothing to do with it. Poor coaching and lack of confidence create their "luck". — tfernan303
- Can we please end the O-Line defense now Andy? I think you have proven Castillo's High school defensive plays do not work in the NFL— snyder6557
- there are no words, in ANY dictionary, to describe the way this team is awful.
Awful & terrible just doesn't seem to cut it.— Bonzy22 - Another week of "we are a better team than them, we just didn't play that way"...all the way to 1-15....this team and coaching is just not that good plain and simple.— gob1234
- Eagles’what a joke.— Pc249
- Wide 9 needs to be renamed...Easy 6.— Astro Jones
- 100 Million dollar QB, and no defense is better than a 125 million dollar 1st baseman who chokes and has a torn achillis. Ahh what a wonderful time to be a philly sport fan.— LGbalsac
- Go ahead and blame Michael Vick for this one too. Andy needs to see an exit!!!!!— madaboutit
- DREAM TEAM IS .....1-4 and in LAST PLACE....and Eagles are 1-6 in their last seven games....PATHETIC.— frank105
- If you count the playoff loss to Green Bay, it's 1-7, including 5 straight at home. — thefullmonty
- Send Vick back to prison. Trade Assomugh for McNabb.— comin4ya23
- Wow! Someone needs to put jobs on the line if they want the team to play better. Coaches Jobs especially!!! Castillo is not as good as everyone thinks. Andy has succumb to the antics he said he never do. Become a predictable coach. B4 he love to create plays that no one has seen in yrs. Now everything he does is readable. Thank God hockey season started. More a fan of hockey than any other Philly sports team. Go Flyers!!!— Flyers_70
- Andy Reid is finally exposed. Year after year of blown draft picks have lead to this point. AR is a offensive coordinator at best and anybody who hires an offensive coach to coach the defense is an idiot!— Fritz and Alice
- It is Reids fault we have no defense. Reid didnt even trust his rookie kicker before the half.— epalmer
- Why?????????????????????— shaad
- This season is the culmination of several factors: trading out of the first round two years in a row (how would J. Otah and A. Spenser look at OL and LB?), bringing in small WRs (Jackson and Maclin), a lack of leadership, no running game, J. Castillo at Def. Coor., and not being able to adjust during the game. Sad.— rubicon24
- Gruden and Luck in '12.— snakeplissken
- If Fat Andy is NOT fired today or tomorrow, we'll know for sure he and Lurie are lovers!— Tar Heel 1
- Andy Reid Sucks is a given. When will one writer in Philly mention Vick is not a good QB....yes, blah blah blah, a good athlete, lots of good athletes in flag footballs leagues around town, a terrible QB and once again laughing after the game.— PhillyguyinVA
- Pathetic and embarrassing play and Kolb gets benched too.— Astro Jones
- Sad.— rubicon24
- The team isn't listening to the coaches anymore. If they were, they wouldn't be playing so sloppy. Reid is toast.— cletisvandam
- Laurie is setting this team up for a move to LA.....that is where Laurie wants to be!!!!— STEPHEN1988
- I’ve never seen such coaching mismanagement in my life. It’s so very clear Andy’s poor decisions have finally caught up with him. Anyone with a brain would have assumed starting a rookie DC in the NFL would result in a throw away season. Players will have to make due with the Marx brothers coaching staff.— epalmer
- Get your tissues out! Your season is OVER! First its the Phils and now its the Eagles. Great sports in Philly! Love it!— MRD
- How does Andy survive the season ? The lack of offseason camps has killed this team in particular. Stubhub.. tix are plummeting. Bad investment.— IhateChrisWheeler
- Cowher— CDOcasualty
- Nick Barnett...Still making plays for the Pack!!!— Packerfan
- Everyone on the planet and beyond knew the Bills were trying to get the Pigeons to jump offside at the end of the game. No, they wouldn't do that do that, right?, right?, right? How dumb can this get?— fanup
- Comment removed.
- Time for your 100 million dollar dogkiller to take a seat on the bench and cry!— MRD
- @fman727,
Reid picked the o-line, and Vick was hit on almost every pick he threw. And the last pick was Avantes fault.
— r_u_kidding_me - Comment removed.
- I feel sad.— Fritz and Alice
- Comment removed.
- Thank God I live in the South and don't have to suffer through watching the game. Just finished playing disney princess app with my daughter.— Fritz and Alice
- I get my comedy by watching this team now. Awful in every aspect of the game. They do things that only they can do they're that bad. The Parker Penalty to end the game was hysterical.— gordon7
- Good to see you back on the Birds as you nothing about baseball. Truth is Rich, you and your former co-employee Ray completely over-rated this group. They're not that good- plain & simple. Either you don't the game or your hyping your product- which is it??— Northcountry
- Comment removed.

- With the talent on defense I say Jeff Fischer, he would know what to do with it.
— jim10350 - The Eagles are not a well coached team - all that talent and 1-4. Great plays by some and stupid mistakes that negate all the good things. Reminder - the Eagles broke a short Training Camp early because "they accomplished everything they needed to accomplish". That must have been a very short list which didn't include tackling. Get rid of Reid now so someone else can come in and be better prepared for next season before this team is totally ruined.— lanert
- such is the life of a philly sports fan— franknbeans
- Turned it off early as the tackling was abysmal, and the passing and catching was abysmal, as stated above. Watched a Tivo recording of a cop show, then napped a while. Turned it on as they scored the 21st point, only to watch Avant cough up his secod strip away of the game.
There oughta be a law against putting fans through this kind of play.— ngfs66 - Vick sucks...$100 million for this scum bag and is 1-6 in Eagles last seven games...LOL.— frank105
- Vick sucks...$100 million for this scum bag and is 1-6 in Eagles last seven games...LOL.— frank105
- 3 int's... not good! However, you can't blame this loss on him alone. Jaworski is NOT coming back! Detmer is NOT coming back! B Hoying is NOT coming back! K. Kolb is NOT coming back.... get the point? Idiot! — madaboutit
- No team can win consistantly by turning the ball over like the Beagles do. Avant looses the ball twice in critical situations and the team will loose. Not Vick's fault. However, this defense is really realy bad. No ability to stop the run..none..nada. If you can't stop the run on a consistant basis, you will loose football games. All the skill positions in the world won't get you the ability to stop the run. The GM tried a RAJ with this team and boom...it went bust.— drhoffman
- Actually it is time for Andy Reid to fire himself as coach and to fire Castillo. The Casstillo experiment is over.
With Jim Johnson the players knew that if they didn't perform their fundamentals well, they would not play, regardless of their contract, or their flash. The Castillo experiment has been too costly already. Put him back in charge of the O line where he belongs. They seem to be lost without him.
What a debacle of Mongolian proportions!— ngfs66 - This is as bad as it gets. There is no way to describe how inept this team is. It starts at the top. Reid has got to go.— Big_Omar
- I thought this was the year--or was it last year--5 turnovers. Guess that 100 mil demoralized the team.— RRynalds
- ...i love this game!
- Comment removed.
- Well, at least I can jump on the Lions bandwagon up here in Michigan. I can't believe I just typed that. Glad I didn't watch that fiasco; Luck be an Eagle next year!— peteinmich
- The Eagles are now 1-6 for Michael Pick’s last 7 starts. In those games Michael Pick has turned the ball over an unbelievable FOURTEEN TIMES.— Eaglesblowallday
- Jeffrie fat, stupid and egotist in a headcoach is no way to run your team oh yeah dont forget the defensive coordinator- can he clean your office?— eagle stuck in dc
Really, jumping offsides when you know they're trying to pull you offsides.— verve- Yes !!!!! Only 11 games to go, and the Fat Man goes !— Potstirrer
- I love this Eagles Team.... They may be the best one yet. Even Jimmy Johnson at halftime was calling out Reid for having Casillo as the Defensive Coordinator. I hope we go 1 and 15. Get a great pick and hopefully snap Lurie out of his coma. Sack Reid, Castillo, Roseman, Banner. Jeffy Jeffy Jeffy!!! This is not the team you said you wanted when you bought it. We know you are the only one that can turn it around. Think about it. Seriously.— truthfirst
- For all you Idiots calling for Andrew Luck. Enough Already! If you think an unproven Andrew Luck playing in the weak PAC-10 can play better than Vick behind a one dimensional offense with no real running game, no pass protection, and receivers that don't protect the football, YOU'RE CRAZY!! What the Eagles need to do is fire the D-Coord and get some proven offensive linemen that can run and pass block!— Minnesota VICKings
- ...phillies sign lebron james
- So Andy the QB coach from GB is finally being exposed for whay he is..A FRAUD !!! He benefited from Ray Rhodes' draft picks n JJ's defensive scheme...But now that he doesnt have JJ and those other great coords and continues to draft soft midgets we have the 2012 Eagles !!! Soft n small n will wear down by the end of the season like they always do...4-12 ppl book it !!!— diehardeagle
- This has been going on for YEARS with Andy at the helm. Somehow they have always managed to dodge the big bullet. Complete lack of discipline on the field and a clear lack of leadership on the sideline.— TVGuy22
- No number 1 draft pick. Andy will pull an Uncle Cholly and win the lasat couple of game that don't mean diddly!— slade1955
- the iggles are the best flag football— bag-of-donuts
- they really might not win 6 games...— soalivetoday
- there is NO way they win 6. — DallasEagle
- This team is like every other Reid built team, a team built on finesse, and built for WARM weather. They are so bad now they can't even win in warm weather. Another time management gaff by Reid at the end of the half. LURIE DO YOUR JOB!— Carlos2
- Too bad the sheep will still go to home games. Lurie just cares about money, and as long as the sheep keep buying in, he'll keep Reid.— gordon7
- Andy Reid and Charlie Manuel could trade places and the outcome would be the same. Both should go with all their awful coaching staffs.— Phil Lee
- A team in your dreams,only. How could the reporters, not ask about the failure to try a field goal at the end of first half. Suck ups.— markacin
- It defies logic why Parker would jump offsides. A clueless "veteran" in crunchtime.— ghost722

- Got Gruden?— rubicon24
- Hello 3-13. One of the worst teams in the NFL. We are back to the 70s. Mike Vick - 1-6 in last 7 games. You can count on one hand the number of NFL quarterbacks who you wouldn't rather have than him. Now we can just play out the string and go through the motions for the rest of the year? O-fer in NFC East a real possibility. Time for huge changes. We are among the worst teams in the NFL. We are the worst team in the NFL over the last 8 games.— DallasEagle
- It's about time for Andy Reid to resign.— numberthree
- Injuries - "I could have done a better job" the time's your's. Reid should just make a tape, sit in the post game room and have someone replay it every week. Nothing changes— thomasg
- Anyone thinking Andrew Luck, forget it. He's a white Quarterback— thomasg
- Can anyone spell B-I-L-L C-O-W-H-E-R ??!!!— johnnyk3
- Andy Reid is the most overrated coach in the NFL. He's terrible at game day adjustments, terrible at clock management, and can't judge line talent. Shady's getting 7.3 a rush, but CheesesteakBoy only dials his number 11 times because he would rather have Dog Murderer throw 40 for 4 picks. What a joke. Go Flyers.— catfishhunters99
- Without a doubt, the Eagles are a poorly coached team right now. I used to believe in Reid, but there is just too much talent on this team for them to be 1-4. Jeff Lurie, please do something!— bigphilphan
- Andy Reid has made two intelligent decisions in all the years he has coached this team. 1.He hired Jim Johnson as defensive coordinator. 2.He drafted Donovan McNabb. Between the two of them, they made Reid look much better than he ever was. Johnson's excellence was obvious. You can say what you want about Donovan, but in his prime, his arm won a lot of games in spite of the fact that everybody in the stadium knew he was going to pass due to fat boy's pathetic, predictable, no-run play-calling. Now, Johnson and McNabb are gone and people are starting to see Reid for the overrated incompetent that he is and always was. THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES!— Bud Dry
- These dudes couldn't beat Archbishop Wood. Really.— Disco Dave
- hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahah. I used to love everything about the Eagles. Since Reid sold his sole and hire Vick I haven't watched a game but that doesn't mean I don't hope for their failure and removal.— KINGOFZED
- Forget A. Luck. We need some linebackers who can hit. On Fitzpatrick's run up the middle, the camera showed no linebackers over center at all.— BigLadd
- ...anybody who blames the last 2weeks on vick is clueless. the defense is a joke. and our small recs are little blanks afriad of contact. "we just need to put it all together" right.....
- We win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes! Wait, what, oh. Well maybe we can trade the pick for Roy Hinson!— Relocator
- Lets face it. Were a town of losers. The rest of America laughs at us. We have a dog killer at QB that is the pride of all black america. We live in the worst city in the United States. The only thing we have pride in is cheese steaks and Rocky. We cant even buy a baseball team.— phil loserville
- I think the Klan rally is tomorrow pal, you speak for black America now? FOH The city is great without idiots like you so why don't you do all of us a favor and get lost, take Andy, Vick and Juan with you...CLOWN.
- Nothing more satisfying than seeing a bully get beat. I hope Vick serves up 5 more turnovers next week.— Zach_76
- ...vick ain't perfect but the dude is playing well. go giants?? that's funny
- ...vick ain't perfect but the dude is playing well. go giants?? that's funny
- Where are all the Reid supporters who usually come on here? You know, the ones who always ask if we want to go back to 3-13 or hire Rich Kotite? Where are they now? What do they have to say about their leader. The way this team is going, the Eagles could end up 3-13 and that would be with Reid. So who do they worship then?— mike l
- phil loserville, just change your name to loser. The only team anyone is laughing at is the Birds. And you.— mike l
- Vick is awful...Vick threw FOUR INTERCEPTIONS today...Vick has thrown SEVEN INTERCEPTIONS in the last three games...WOW...plus Vick has many fumbles and WAS DUMB to let let the clock run out before the half....oh yeah, the $100 million QB Vick is 1-6 in Eagles last seven games..PATHETIC.— frank105
- funlikethewind, It's a good idea. I remember the days of Joe Kuharik, when banners stating "JOE MUST GO" flew over Franklin Field during the game. A national broadcast would be a great place to let the owners know how fans feel about Andy.
— jerseyshorefan - Avant has girl arms. He needs to hit the gym.— fmMD
- I wish like everyone else that there is some kind of coaching change coming soon but today was on the PLAYERS FOR ALL OF THOSE FREAKIN TURNOVERS. The coaches are responsible for alot but not the fumbles, miss tackles, and Ints. Were a real bad team at this point and the only good thing to look forward too is the draft picks we'll have next year lol..I say that sarcasticlly becuase its really hurts to lose these games to teams we should be killin.....— DCSBE
- i love the bozos who try to mix their foot cmmts with other non sense when their is no reason to. stick to football. tell me what qb wins a sb title with this defense. with this d-fensive coord with this head coach. with this o-line. tom brady?? they went 14-2 last year and lost. not even the GREAT PACKERS QB!
- Go andy and cry in another hoagie— stoky
- The people blaming this on Vick obviously did not watch the game and have no business commenting.— Penfold18
- ...curse of vick?? this bs has been going since jaws.
- Not surprised and I expected it. You have a disgusting owner, a horrible human waste of scum for a QB and also a fat idiot whos own sons are criminals. Eagles need to get a new owner who has some sense od decency. When you sign scum you get what you deserve. Now they are screwed for years with all of these stupid contracts. I am loving every minute of it.— west1459
- Andy Reid threw 4 picks, had the costly fumble deep in his own end, jumped offsides at the end of the game and missed tackles that would have prevented several Bills' scoring drives from ending in punts. Good job, Andy Reid. You really are showing why you belong on the sidelines and not playing.— Clt Philly Fan
- Fire Andy!!— camtheman
- Andy's Bad Circus continues its tour. Lurie needs a big top at the Linc.— s
- The scum bag Vick threw FOUR INTERCEPTIONS today...one interception was returned for a Bills touchdown.....Vick has now thrown SEVEN INTERCEPTIONS in the last three games..WOW, that's awful...and oh yeah, Vick is now 1-6 in the Eagles last seven games...pathetic.— frank105
- Where is the "All in Man" Banner? I want to see him try to explain whats going on. After what happened to the Phils, I wish this game was played at the Linc so the Faithful could have let them have it, because right now the Philly sports fans are in a foul mood. And did I expect them to lose? yes, because Buffalo has a good running back. Any team playing the Eagles would be foolish not to run the ball.— watsonmr
- This just in - Reid fires Castillo and replaces him with ...... Tito Francona!— frustrated1
- he drafted this team the team sucks.
he picked the coaches the team sucks.
he runs this team and the team sucks.
he sucks.
and last but not least Lurie sucks.
put this all together for how many years and
you get a team that sucks.— boppa2 - Give a man a 100 Millon dollars and all he does is throw picks!!!!! Go back to dog fighting! Maybe Andy Reid could help you not get caught!!!!!! I hate vick and reid! what has either one of them done besides CHOKE!!!!!!! I'm done with them! Today i turned 44 years young and am still disappointed! Life as an eagles fan is not easy. I keep giving them my dedication and all they ever gave me was CHOKING when it counted! I will not watch any more games until we get a real DEFENSIVE COACH and or REAL COACH!!!!!!!!! Signed by TIRED OF LOSING!!! Mark.— SPEEDY1
- Vick is a convict, Vick threw four interceptions, Vick is 1-6 in his past seven starts...blah, blah, blah. Who has been coaching for over the past decade? Do you want Kolb back? I guess you haven't been watching the Cardinals! Remember how Vick became the starter in the first place? KOLB WAS KNOCKED THE F OUT BEHIND A COVER YOUR EYES HORRIBLE O LINE PUT TOGETHER BY ANDY REID!
Heck the other week Brady threw four INTs against the SAME BUFFALO DEFENSE under far less duress than Vick was under today. Outside of going back to prison for fighting dogs, what more do u want Vick to do? The guy is putting up 400 yds. of total offense a week behind a matador o-line, a matador defense on the other side, and WRs with fumbleitis in the last minute of the game driving for winning or tying scores.— CapDickComin - where to begin? idiotic play calling, joke of a d-coordinator, an accountant for a gm who has completely whiffed the last two drafts, a turnover machine for a qb, no LBs, no Safeties and a too small, overmatched o-line. does that about cover it?— snakeplissken
- who is the defensive coordinator Juan Can"t tackle?— dslword
THE EAGLES ARE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE NFL. THEY ARE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THEIR BANKS!
- In a word: Kotitesque.— Bruce87036
- Looks like vick was running for his life so that if he turned his back a rabid dog wouldnt bite him in his arse. Oops, thats probably why he threw 4 interceptions!— Zuzka55
- Vick stinks...the $100 million leader of the LAST PLACE Dream Team...LOL.— frank105
- I'm in the Fire Reid camp but Fisher is Andy Reid redux, Cowher is Andy Reid with a hot playoff run and Gruden won with someone elses players. Tony Dungy folks.— albertpa
- Kotitesque really says it all. 3 picks, no tackling, excellent clock management as always....boy its. Gonna be a long fall.....can we trade djax for some worthy dl position players? We d better think about another qb too.— joeyrofrano
- Keep your heads up Eagles fans, all is not lost. At leats we'll get high drafts next year, just need to get rid of Reid because he'll blow them once again.— dapmman
- Until Lurie sees empty seats, this won't change.— p-diddy
- This has to be the worst month of all time in Philly sports..to go from the team with promise to win the Super Bowl and the team to beat for the World Series, wow...pathetic!!— johnnyb85
- Having watched that sorry display of football, it's hard to win when you only field 10 men on defense. Page looked like a matador out there. I have never seen so many misssed tackles in all my life. I wasted my afternoon watching this and all I could do, during this time, was chuckle because of the absurdity of the season.— prop-er
- How can you possibly not blame the coach at this point? This team stinks and is poorly coached, who else are you going to blame? Bill Cowher or some other big name coach with a proven track record may be able to turn this team around. Andy Reid, not so much. He has peaked and become irrelevant. Talent evaluation and subsequent drat picks have been terrible for over the last 9 years. Game management skills are non existent on this coaching staff. I always stuck with Andy based on his track record until now. I can't do it anymore there are lots of better coaches and talent evalualers out there that can help us win. Time to move on.— JimSeitz
- At least Kolb isn't lighting it up in Arizona, that would make Andy 12 for 12 with bad decisions this offsaeson— lunch
- Commenters keepaaying all that talent ,what talent?One running back ,nobody can tackle,no beef up frontnad probaly the dumbest team in football on the field and sidelines.
most plays on ofense are helter skelter with Vick running for his life . It has been pointed out by commentaters on TV how careless the Eagles are in protecting the balland you would think the coaches would pick up on this and rectify it.
Both Reid and Manuel are the two dumbest game day "managers " in sports.— gardner - If Reid wants to save his job, then I suggest trading one of his 3 star cornerbacks for a first-rate linebacker. They must get good value for the trade though. I've given up on this year for the Eagles and I'm hoping for a new coach like Bill Cowher of Jon Gruden in 2012!— MUADDIB
- If you're thinking Vick is bad, imagine where the Eagles would be with Kevin Kolb playing here last year and this year delivering the same performance he's demonstrating out in Arizona with Larry Fitzgerald, and a real pass catching Tight End at his disposal.
If the Eagles do something as simple as make half those tackles they missed at key times in all four games, the Eagles are 5-0 with out a doubt. Let's not mention when Vick was out hurt he left those games with comfortable leads despite the dropped touchdowns by his Jackson, Celek, and the critical fumbles on keep drives at crunch time by Maclin and Avant.
Sure blame the Quarterback.
— Dexter - At least for Philly, The "Professional" Football Team playing in Chester to another packed stadium is in 1st place and headed for the playoffs with a great coach.— bfritzpa
- Look at the bright side! At least the D didn't collapse in the fourth quarter!— dick k
