@drunkenagitator:

I think you described not only Vick, but maybe Romo too.

It’s probably obvious by now, but these Eagles were never as good as expectations. Their “magic” season last year was 10-6, losing their final 3 games and flaming out in their first playoff game, which they only made it into by a highly unlikely collapse by a division-leading rival.

Put simply, the Vick Eagles have performed dramatically worse than the McNabb Eagles did. It’s not even close.

If Andy starts Kafka. Keep him. If Andy starts Vince. Fire him.

Lost in all this is the fact that the idiot Vick again got hurt because he refuses to slide at the end of a run.

Vick or Yofka? I’ll take the two-headed monster of adequacy-at-best Youfka.

I have no problem tilting the odds to make it easier. They maybe down, but they can explode at any time with Vick.

Vick was never any good in the NFL. The guy has a few great games, tears off a few unbelievable plays and everyone assumes he’ll be doing it every week forever more. It was that way before he killed those dogs and went to prison and it’s the same way now. But for some odd reason, no one remembers this.

Now watch: Vince Young will have a career game this week and everyone will be frothing at the mouth about how awesome he is, then some team will break the bank in the off-season to acquire him, believing he’ll play that way every week. And onward goes the NFL hype machine.

At this point can Vince Young play any worse than the 100 million dollar mistake also known as Mike Vick. The Eagles will be road kill for the Giants.

Oh wait, I hate the Eagles and Vick, this is good news.

He won’t play, Giants will knock Young out of the game early, and Kafka comes in and has the game of his life and Philly trades Kafka for two number ones and the guy never plays a decent game again. It kills me, but no team plays worse against backups and guys who you never hear from again than the Giants. We’ll make Kafka a star for one day and Philly will reap the draft picks. I really hope Coughlin is right on this one.

One can only hope that Kafka has benefited from Reid’s Super Genius Quarterback Development Academy as much as Kolb has.

Mike always gets hurt and the eagles paid him all of that money. Someone needs to get fired.

By: kevpft

Seems kind of pointless, all this nonsense from Reid and Vick. The Giants don’t exactly need to spend a lot of time prepping for either of the Eagles’ backups. As Coughlin implies, they’ll be preparing for Vick, simple as that. It all reeks of self-preservation smokescreening, on the parts of everyone.

Who’d have thought a bunch of selfish me-firsters wouldn’t gel into a one-for-all supportive team?

Seems to me he could have gotten hurt on the play they say he did, but it didn’t start bothering him until later.

All I know is this royally screws both my fantasy teams.

I can’t wait until Kafka has a good game(s) and there’s a QB controversy to add to the circus that is the 2011 Philadelphia Eagles.

You all know it’s coming.

Oh boy, it’s the Vince Young Flying Circus coming to prime time.

Why do I envision the loser horn from the price is right (they won’t let me post a link to the horn) playing in the head of every Eagles fan when they heard this?

Maybe NBC can cue up some circus music to play when showing Eagles offense “highlights”.

Eagles fans may not be at rock bottom yet, but they can see it from here.

Concussion… Let him play
Broken Ribs…Sit him down

Not so sure that the NFL is really upholding its policies on concussion…at least not for a few privileged teams

Maybe Vince Young will get the opportunity to complete a pass to an Eagle this time. I’m interested to see how he handles adversity when the Philly fans let him have it if need be. Luckily for him, the game is in NY.
