#CardsGoHard Great W, Az is now 10-2 in their last 12 contest and finally this week they will begin garnering national respect and attention. I don’t think we want any respect or attention at this point. Dr. Horton said in camp that he had studied each offense we would face this season and boy can you tell? Whiz is playing to Kolbs abilities. And who is talking about that O Line now? Hall of Famer Russ Grimm has that line overacheiving and as long as Kolb is not turning the ball over this Arizona Cardinal Team will be very hard to beat!

The Eagles are who we thought they were

After 3 games? And you are exactly as you come off… foolish. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to check out our news thread. Eagles will be fine folks, let the haters hate. However Vick needs to hit the bench sooner then later after these highschool QB performances.

It appears as though the eagles traded the wrong QB

You people are so arrogant. “you traded the wrong QB”. Yeah? The one you were complaining about and saying we “ripped you off” in a trade for? It just goes to show a haters are gonna hate. Yeah we got beat by a good Cardinals team, but to say we traded the wrong QB is foolish. I’m glad we traded him or we may not have drafted our starter next year Nick Foles. The majority of you people are bandwagon posters.

What a shocker, this team is overrated, underachieving, making excuses, and arrogant as all hell..

Sounds like every other year in Philadelphia.

Let’s talk more about the trade. I liked when DRC got owned by Michael Floyd at the line of scrimmage. A rookie knocked DRC on his butt, and got him to shove back. Kept a nice drive alive with a bonehead penalty by DRC. See why Cardinals fans don’t miss DRC? Eagles fans better hang there hat on the 2nd round pick they got, as it appears that will be the only thing of value for them in the trade.

And, if AW was in the game yesterday, Vick would have been carted off.

Let’s see…Eagles got manhandled by the Cards, Steelers lost, Pats lost, Niners lost. It was football heaven yesterday.

“The Eagles will always be the underachieving enigma of the NFL.”

Sorry, the Cowboys have laid permanent claim to that title. I say this as a Dallas fan.

A lot of real good comments here. While it is still a young season, I believe it is hardest to turn one around in the NFL. And they can, but it will take a whole lot of work. Vick cannot take constant hits like those he got yesterday from the Cards D on a weekly basis. I am not a fan, but his health is more important than the game. What was the coaches thinking? It obviously did not work in the first half, why keep going with it on the second?

Yesterday’s pounding by AZ kind of puts into light the first two near losses by Philly. And I’m sorry, the way things look down there in PA, this team neither looks like a “dynasty” nor a “contender” even. I’m not even going to talk about the media who have picked the Eagles to go, not only in the playoffs but, to the SB. The (big name) players they signed look like they will be one of those that will eventually, after all the failures, sign with other teams in the twilight of their careers.

What I find funny is, the Eagles could very easily be 0-3 right now, yet most of the “experts” still refer to this team as a serious contender. I see an 8-8 year in the making. Again.

Yea, what’s with the Eagles’ coaches. They ran the ball 5 times in the first half when they were still in the game. Vick has 9 turnovers in 3 games. He looks like the Vick of last year. And Capt. Andy and Marty look like last year, not good.

Where are all the Andy Reid apologists right now, the ones that haven’t watched him make the same mistakes over and over again for 14 years?

To paraphrase the first sentence of an article about Bill Giles and the Phillies years ago,

“The Philadelphia Eagles are a bleep sandwich of a football team and everyday Jeffrey Lurie/Andy Reid (name your villain) asks you to take a bite”.

As a falcon fan this is nothing new with vick. Is it a coincidence that every where mike played he had a bad oline? No its not dude cant read blitzes holds the ball too long. The packers,,falcons,colts(when manning was there) had awful olines the QBs are smart and release the ball quick. It also doesnt help that Marty is a moron and cant realize that deep passes wont work cause of the protection. The blame is 50/50 in vick n the eagles coaching staff

QB’s like Brady and Manning, have a 3-5 second count in the pocket. Vick had less than 1 second, on most snaps.

No QB in the history of the league can be successful behind that Philly line, that provides no protection.

No one person can win a team game.

That Cardinal defense is good, and it was great seeing Vick get beaten to a pulp.

“Omg… Did that eagle fan really think the eagles beat themselves and the cards didnt own them all game? Amazing!”

Didn’t you hear? They won 9 games in a row if you count preseason. It’s actually 74 wins in a row, if you dont count games where the Eagles beat themselves.

The Eagles looked absolutely terrible but next week the game starts 0-0.

I’ve been saying it for a while now. The NFC West will not be the weakest division in the league this season. It just might be the strongest. With the exception of the Rams what team is really looking forward to playing an NFC West team on their schedule this season?

If the Eagles beat Eli next week all the fans will be back on the bandwagon. This was one game. Kudos to Kevin Kolb. Always a class act.

Wow, Vick this Vick that…what happened to running the ball in the Frist quarter 2nd quarter? Playcalling was horrendous, O-line was disgusting…yet all I here is Vick this and Vick That…..

Great analysis…..

Vick just can’t read defenses. He’s not that smart. His success has almost always been on broken plays.

Good NFL QBs do not hold the ball for 5-7 seconds. They read the defense, get their hot routes or progressions ready & the ball is out.

Vick holds the ball so long out of confusion/non-recognition. He tries to wait for the defense to “break down”. In his youth, his legs & speed helped him wait for defensive break downs & he would run or dump to Crumpler. He no longer has those same athletic abilities but it’s obvious he still can’t read defenses pre-snap.

He keeps holding the ball just like he used to but now he gets hit a whole lot more & has become a turnover machine.

The eagles just signed Vick to a $100 million deal, what the hell has he ever won??? Nothing and all he does is get hurt and turn the ball over. Talk about a terrible contract.

Going into the first week of the season, something like 17% of players in one of my fantasy leagues had the Cardinals D. Going into this weekend’s games, it had climbed into the 30′s. I suspect after this game that they are being snapped up like crazy. Ladies and gents, the Cardinals have quietly assembled one of the elite D’s in the league, and they really proved it today. If the offense continues to grow and improve, watch out – the Cards will be in the hunt in January.
