Kolb out for the game, latest piece of bad news
Jonathan Tamari
Kevin Kolb's debut lasted all of a half. He did not come back to start the second half and Mike Vick is starting out under center.
Kolb is out with a concussion and so is Stewart Bradley, who also has a concussion. Neither will be back today.
It's the latest piece of bad news from what so far has been a bad news start of the season for Philadelphia.
There were injuries, offensive ineptness and two long Packers drives to mark he first half.
After two quarters, the Packers have gained 174 yards to 49 for the Eagles. They're averaging 4.5 yards per play, while the Eagles are gaining 2.2.
Kolb was nearly been intercepted three times -- all on throws where he stared down DeSean Jackson and tried to force the ball into his receiver. (The first Kolb boos audible in the press box came with 10:51 left in the second quarter, less than 20 minutes into the Kolb era).
Mike McGlynn has one catch, which is one more than either Jackson or Brent Celek.
And then there are the injuries, which could have much larger ramifications than any single half. The worst of them appeared to be a knee injury to Leonard Weaver. His knee got bent back badly by a tackle, and from the reaction of his teammates and coaches -- Andy Reid went onto the field to check on his fullback -- it looked very worrisome.
Jamaal Jackson has also left the game, with what the team said was an elbow injury and is not expected back.
warbird get a life!!you act like he killed ur dog..focus on kolb the season killer— gamechanger.mpeg- Lonewolf was all over the live chat, saying how bad Kolb was, and I guess he is now sniffing Vick's jock. What a troll.— OldWhiteandRich
- Hmmmm, only about 20 or 30 of us here predicted this OL was gonna get Kolb killed. Being right sucks.— jimmyj
panpizza..uncle is crying in cheap beer but will get behind vick as he flip flops more than a politician running for election..more than anything..he wanted to catch kolbs balls...2012-JOB..wolf.— wolf 4- 1. We either fill the roster with weak players, don't condition correctly, or have the worst luck over the last 10 years. 2. Retooling or rebuilding? 3. Football is won at the line. The D line looks great. The O blows. Either use Vick or have a balanced game plan with shorter routes. 4. DMac will have beat Kolb tonight and have more than 20 yards passing...— flyers0wn3d
- Excuse me but am I the only one that saw Andy oxyman Reed intentionally blow the game in the 4th quarter? How stupid do you have to be to call those three time outs within a minute and then call that incredibly inane 4th and 1 play? He blew the game on purpose just like the Chicago-Detroit game. The whole world is fixed. Go Phillies— cupper
- defense played well enough to win.. with mcnabb we would have won easily..way to go we r now buffalo denver miami and every other team that lost a franchise qb only diff their greats rired with em we rans ours away for nothin inexcusable— gamechanger.mpeg
the eagles and phillies both have kk's that stink......- Poor Jamaal out for the year in the first game almost exactly as predicted!— jimmyj
- Vick gives Eagles best chance to win...he keeps the D off balance which will open up things for others. Hope Kolb is OK.
- "Bad Newz Kennels" gets the starting nod next week- Love the timeout the Eagles took when the refs stopped the clock for the measurement in the 4th quarter. The special teams looked great too- team is really poorly coached-— klbloom1
- I wish Ray Lewis could fly in on his Raven and help us.— flyers0wn3d
Kolb's out? How's that bad news????- Go Phillies - go to baseball forum and post that. Go Jeff Gordon!— flyers0wn3d
- Same old Andy Reid. Kolb is the second coming of David Klingler. Put the Jarvic 7 in this team because it has no heart. This team sucks! Go Washington— antoine
