'We want Vick' chants start already

Well, that didn't take long.

Apparently some Eagles fans saw enough on five plays from Michael Vick to call for him to replace Donovan McNabb in the third quarter.

The "We want Vick" chants broke out at the Linc and could be heard on the TV broadcast after McNabb threw an interception.

Those of you at the Linc could give a better idea of just how loud they were and how many people were participating.

As always, I assume it was a vocal minority, but again, you could hear the chants on TV. The national media should have a field day with this one.

We knew this would come at some point, but I figured it might wait until at least the regular season started. What happens when Vick is eligible to play and McNabb has a bad game, or a bad quarter, or a bad play?

Dumbest fans in America. This is why Philly doesn't deserve to win a Super Bowl...and never will.

McNabb better get ready to hear we want Vick. He is horrible in the red zone.

We want a guy who hasnt played in 1 months and wasn't even that good at qb before he went to jail...even though we already have a HOF qb in his prime. That makes sense.

On the fumble returned for a TD, most of the people around me were screaming "It's incomplete! Challenge Andy! You're an idiot!". Dumbest fans in America.

sono, are you saying Vick is the better qb? Please explain that to us? Is this based on his 53% completion percentage or the fact that he was almost booed out of Atlanta before the dogfighting stuff with a lot of fans and pundits calling for Matt Schaub to take over the team after the '06 season? Or was it him completing a couple of passes tonight under no pressure because the Jags stayed in their lanes whenever he was in so he couldn't run just like everyone figured out when the Birds shut him down in '05.
