Eagles Fans Have Been Here Before

BigGreek24 — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 12:57:14 +0000

Over the past ten seasons, Eagles fans have become accustomed to their team playing its best during the month of December on its way to the playoffs, and in a few of those seasons either an NFC East Championship (five of them), a first round bye, home field throughout the playoffs or two out of three or all of the above. A win Sunday night gives the Eagles their sixth NFC East title in the Andy Reid era. Did I… Finish Reading

With Vick At Helm, Eagles Are Very Dangerous

BigGreek24 — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 17:49:36 +0000

I know, this was supposed to be Kevin Kolb’s coming out season, and Mike Vick was just supposed to come in here and there, run the wildcat and mentor the Eagles new starting QB if necessary. Nobody could’ve possibly have predicted what was coming.

All that went out the window when Kolb suffered a concussion against the Packers and Vick took over for the rest of that game. Time to fire up the engines on “Starship 7″, and Vick led… Finish Reading

$5000.00 Fine for Kolb Necessary?

The Nonsensical Fines League strikes again!!!! In a league which once fined Micheal Vick, then playing with the Falcons, $15,000 for socks that weren’t right because his out side socks fell down. The fact of the matter was Vick had two pairs of socks on the team socks and one’s underneath for his own comfort. The team socks fell down or were slouched by Vick himself, neither of which is important. He was fined because his socks weren’t pulled… Finish Reading

Who are the Eagles Really????

Marc Fanelle — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 03:24:16 +0000

The Philadelphia Eagles are a marvel in this short start of the NFL season. With a 4 and 2 record, they seem to be in control of the season. There are other questions that arise though. Is it all smoke and mirrors? Is the NFC really a true litmus test? Is the Eagles defense and special teams just young and need time to gel? I remember when Jim Johnson first got here with Andy Reid, Troy Vincent being interviewed and… Finish Reading

Michael Vick to start Sunday

Eric Schwartz — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 22:04:03 +0000

Fans who wanted to see more of Michael Vick will get their wish.

Andy Reid said Vick will be the team’s starting quarterback for this week’s game against Jacksonville and beyond. As it turns out the decision has nothing to do with Kolb’s concussion and everything to do with Vick’s play.

“Kevin is fine. It’s not an injury-related issue,” Reid said during his press conference. “It’s not about judging him. He’s going to be a championship-caliber quarterback.”

Reid’s decision comes… Finish Reading

He still has game

Joseph Birmingham — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 08:00:04 +0000

All right. I am going to come right out and say it. He can still play. MV. Vick’s got game.

For those of you who know, I am a 40 year die hard Eagles fan and not a Vick supporter by any means.

I don’t neccessarily agree with the team’s decision to bring him on, nor did I agree with the team’s decision to let McNabb go.

But it is what it is and with the injury to Kolb, there… Finish Reading

Vick now the man for the Eagles – for a week at least

Eric Schwartz — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 03:24:27 +0000

What should we expect from Michael Vick?

This has been a question asked by Eagles fans since Michael Vick was first acquired by the team last preseason. The question has had different values of significance placed during that time. Last year, fans wondered if Vick would, or should even see the field at all. With Donovan McNabb set as the starter and Kevin Kolb as the backup, fans didn’t have to expect much from Vick.

Now with McNabb in Washington… Finish Reading

Kolb, Bradley fail concussion tests

Eric Schwartz — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 17:16:27 +0000

Kevin Kolb failed his concussion test on Wednesday making it look increasingly likely that Michael Vick will get the start at QB this Sunday at Detroit.

ESPN has a full report here:

Philadelphia quarterback Kevin Kolb and linebacker Stewart Bradley did not pass concussion testing Wednesday. Coach Andy Reid, however, said both players have “made progress” since Monday.

Reid said quarterback Michael Vick will run the offense in practice Wednesday and Thursday and “we’ll take Friday as it comes.”… Finish Reading

Reflections on Eagles Week 1 loss

Eric Schwartz — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 17:47:12 +0000

Now that the Eagles opener against the Green Bay Packers has come and gone it’s time to reflect on what was Sunday and what could be in the future. The Eagles did a few things right and a few more things wrong in a 27-20 loss that leaves the team still searching for answers at several key positions.

Kolb struggles: After starting his career with back-to-back 300-yard passing games last season expectations were high for Kevin Kolb — maybe a… Finish Reading

How Will The Eagles Do In 2010

Doug — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 15:04:18 +0000

Ok, summer is over, the Eagles have made cuts and it’s time to start thinking about football. Not just any old football but EAGLES Football! I’m talking…

E A G L E S

EAGLES

Time to put away the “Honey Do” list. This weekend will start a new era for the eagles. Will it be as successful as the last ten years? (Yes I know don’t even go there but it was successful) Or will we… Finish Reading
