Those who blame the offensive line needs to go back and watch the highlights of all of Vicks interceptions. He had great protection on every single interception play. The first half the line was suspect, but the second half they played much better. Vick made poor throws, that’s it. And I’m a Vick/Eagles fan. And any O-Line looks bad when a QB holds on to the ball too long. After 3 seconds, its the QB, not the line.
====================================

Vick’s 2nd pick came when he was flushed from the pocket because King Dunlap got beat inside. Immediately one play after a big gain by LeSean McCoy was negated by a Dunlap holding penalty. Not saying that Vick isn’t responsible for his poor decision making, just that his O-line did not play that well. He had time when they kept extra blockers in, but then whichever receivers were left were not getting open.

HE calls the plays, not Andy. They couldn’t stop McCoy! They were the worst team in the NFL last year against the rush, yet we ony had 14 rushing attempts by the time we had 45 passing attempts. Nothing else from this game matters, not the turnovers, not the horrendous officitiating, nothing! Play calling caused all the other problems. Anyone who doesn’t get that doesn’t understand football.

Any mediocre QB wins against the Eagles today. Fortunately for the Eagles, they played against quite possibly one of the worst I’ve ever seen throw as a starter in this league.

Weeden, go to the Arena league where you belong.

This game was supposed to be an automatic win and they got it. It was ugly! Though they should have won by 3-4 touchdowns, the bottom line is, they won.

Brandon weeden is the only reason the horrible eagles won…COLT MCCOY
————————————————————
You cannot make that as an excuse because I could of said the only reason why the Eagles barely won is because of Vick…NICK FOLES

Maybe they run in the same circles. I’m not a betting man myself, but for those of you who are, do you know how prevalent organized crime is in America? I would learn the lesson and not gamble.

second, the D played well against a young O. D. Ryans and the ” weak” back 7 in particular.
third, ST looked good and even saved the day on many occasions.
fourth, this is the FIRST game of the year.
fifth, AR is DONE.

You act like the browns were some division four college team out there. Anyone that watched the game would realize that they were literally one play away from putting a win in the books.

These are the first-round picks who were supposed to jump-start our offense?

After awhile you have to wonder if there’s something in the water in Cleveland … guys who could play in college seem to be wandering around in a daze once they put on that Browns jersey.

He actually said that he felt like he was. But I would have him on a pretty quick hook next week if he throws into triple coverage again.

Today was a different story, it would not have been a bad idea to give Foles the ball. It was obvious that Jauron and the Eagles of Ohio schemed for Vick. I still don’t understand why Reid and Marty don’t feed the rock more to McCoy. They do NOT run a west coast offense in my opinion. It’s the Andy Reid offense……

If you are a young (lousy) team, you have to pull out all of the stops. The way Weeden was playing, you had to figure they weren’t going to score again. This one’s on Shurmur. Oh by the way, Brandon Weeden looked like he was lost. Great job keeping him out of the 4th pre-season game.

None of it matters. The Eagles got the W and not a single turnover or penalty gets carried over to next week.

Each game is its own, and your performance in one doesnt dictate how you’ll play in another. If it did we would all know by 12 o’ clock Monday night who was going to win each fantasy leagues.

The NFL doesnt work that way so everyone needs to keep their complaining or gloating in perspective.
