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.

- "MJPD345 The uniforms look great. Reminds me of the Buddy Ryan era.Ohh I wish for those days." Yeah all those playoff losses were thrilling.— bobbyd24
- I hate to tell ya but Andy Reid and Kevin Kolb won't get it done. At least Buddy Ryan's teams made it interesting.— MJPD345
Where wolf? Oh, I just had to.— tpizza- They'll comeback and lose in OT. Thanks Andy and Joe! At least the pitbull king will keep us in the game. Woof.— warbird
- Is it safe to assume the 300 yard streak is over now?— tpizza
- no howling today? I guess he turned into Lone Mouse. Mr. Vick is our QB for the year 2010.— momzer
- You mean Mr. Dog Killer?— warbird
- 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
- Reid and Kolb look like Fat Man and Little Boy: two bombs!— Don Cornelius
- Woof!— Don Cornelius
- LoneWolf....were U at??? McNabb wants his apology!!!!! = P— tonygreeneagle5
- mr conVick played well in his back up performance,,just think if BIG RED had the b**** to put conVick in the last two games against dallas last season,maybe we would have had a better chance at beating dallas...as long as Kevin Kolb is healthy he will start against the lions next week with abig win,, concussions has effected other QB's like kurt warner troy aikman and steve young,hopefully this isn't a career problem for kevin kolb he's the future of this team...2012-SB.....wolf.— wolf 4
- Wolf 4 and 11 are idiots. He has nothing to say. He's just copying and pasting the same comments on every Philly.com Eagles article. Kolb is a noodle armed sissy. He has the QB talk and glare all figured out. Shame he has a candy arm and no athletic ability. Some people asked for this. Kevin kolb=Bobby Hoying. Who couldn't see this?? Every pass was underthrown. At least 4 passes should've been picks by GB. 25 yds passing before the concussion?? I think he was concussed in the tunnel before the game. Maybe 5's air guitar got to him. He sucks. You hear me!! He Sucks!! Maclin and Jackson both know he sucks too. How could Jackson or Celek for that matter not catch a pass in the 1st half? The worst part is just wait until teams get game film on Kolb, lmfao!! Kiss his forehead Wolf 4 and 11, BOTH of his foreheads!!— Facts before ignorance
- LoneWolf Sucks, just like the CowPukes, the PinkSkins and the MidGets!!!!— tonygreeneagle5
- At least we know now that McNabb wasn't the problem!!!— 517wildwood
- who couldn't have predicted this outcome? kolb and that offense couldn't score touchdowns in preseason against predictable defenses..makes u think he can do it in a REAL game!! this guy sucks and andy still cant call a game..goes to show u mcnabb was not the problem..how do u have 24 yards passing in the first half? guess the comparison to rodgers can be put to rest now..vick had more yards passing after two possesions then kolb had all game..cant blame the o-line for this one. best thing in this game is that kolb got injured or this would have been an embarassing loss. good job andy!! smh— bigjay215
- Andy HAS to start Kolb next week. Detroit might be the most winnable game on the schedule. If Vick starts and wins, the Kolb era never gets off the ground.— jimmyj
