Give it up Jeff. We all watch the game. The only people you are convincing are the people who want Vick win or lose. If the Eagles keep scoring 14 to 16 points a game, they will lose a lot more games. If you don't know that, you're in the wrong business. Switch to the garden section.— mario1239- Reid is being outcoached? Against the Giants, it was the Giants who were outcoached.— p-diddy
- we are 3 and 2 anyone notice vick went 20 for 30 last game and no interceptions the past 2 games. If anyone is to blame its andy reid why is he having vick run on a goaline play should give it to mccoy. our 3 wins that we have are with 2 minute drills from vick anyother qb we have had in the past chokes. also it was pouring as well not the easiest to old on to the ball. when it comes down to it we were winning 14 to 13 deep in there zone are d has to make a stop. As for foles hes going to be a great QB but can we not rush him can we give him time to learn the offense grow as a overall QB and when his ready put him in. green bay didnt rush aaron rodgers and look and him now. and we are 3 and 2 with having to play pittsburgh new york and baltimore ill take it. This is the first time we have a winning record and everyones whining.Just let them work it out he also had no turnovers vs new york he has 2 fumbles in pittsburgh in pouring and everyone jumps ship again. lets not bail on vick and in a year or 2 give the ball to foles— hockey_player_always
- Everyone shut up about Foles. He looked good in a couple preseason games against 2nd string players. He might be good. He's a rookie. Let's see how this season plays out and go from there. But to call for Vick to benched right now is insane. The Eagles look playoff bound, and they've been very competitive with some of the best teams in the league.— p-diddy
- The Eagles had no balance or continuity on offense against the Steelers. If this continues the eagles will be 8-8 again this year. The Eagles should win this week. The Lions have no balance on offense either.— Realtor in Orlando
- I'm a NEW Eagles fan, transplanted from Atlanta, now living in Jersey. I am amazed at how fickle you Philly fans are. Your team is tied for first, haven't played their best football yet, and you're calling for the coach to be fired and for the starting QB to be benched in favor of an UNPROVEN ROOKIE!! Foles was a 3rd round pick for a reason folks. Do you think he's going to be the next Tom Brady? Did 31 other GM's goof and let him slip by. I think not! You guys need to relax and wait on the team to catch fire and make a deep run in the playoffs. Focus on the positives. Mike has shown he has the clutch gene to get it done in the 4th qtr. The same people calling for Vick to be benched, were declaring Kolb as the next savior. I'm beginning to notice with Philly fans that the old cliche is true. The backup QB is always the most polular guy in town.— idolovegolf
- lol @ the dude that said Foles is our only chance for the super-bowl !!!! Man this is the deal, the team is out of order top to bottom Coach Reid- dumb play calls & and bad time management, Vick- neglect to read the defense pre-snap and take off when it's there, Offensive line- is just horrible, Wide receivers- are small & afraid of contact (I don't blame them lol!!), Lastly the defense- is mediocre at best, don't really cause turnovers, don't get constant pressure, don't strike fear in opponents with heavy hitters, & can't stop the run consistently. For those who think this defense is great are out of your minds this defense is good enough if the offense is good as everyone thinks it can be. In all that for some reason this team has captured my attention and my patience at least for this season I'm ride or die for whole season, at least to it's officially over!!!! Go EAGLES!!!!— shaad
- Not sure where the Eagles fit in .. In the NFC. Atlanta and San Fran are clearly the best early on. The Giants and Bears both look like they're going to be very strong....then you have teams like Minnesota and Arizona who are much improved....and despite Green Bays record right now, this team was the best in the NFL for most of last season. You have to think that they'll be right there in the end......Philly to me seems like a middle of the pack team. Certainly capable of getting in the playoffs but not a team that will do much more than win one playoff game.....I don't see Philly as anything more than a Wildcard.....same end to the season...same team ..same coach— klew
- Hey golf lover, welcome to town. You should know that most posters here are long-time Eagle fans, and not new to the teams' strengths and weaknesses.
See the comments from 'klew' above for a reality check...— Mr. Magee 
Vick is never going to fix his problem with fumbling. He needs to sat for a series or two after every fumble. Maybe then he will carry the ball differently when he is running. Blind side hits are a different story - even the best fumble then. The fumbles when he gets hit after a scramble are a direct result of the way he is loose with the ball. It's more of a muscle memory thing because that is the way he has always carried the ball. Until he fixes that...— bigcityballer- @dundermiffin, Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson are great because they were ON SB TEAMS but Dan Marino sucks because he was not? Only a racist hater would make a idiotic post like yours. I guess Iverson, Barkley and Malone suck too because they won no NBA titles. What a biased dope! TEAMS WIN SBs not single players you fool! Fake Philly fans SUCK and they always will, especially the closet "sheet wearers"!— allworld2
