I think his future is VERY clear. Next year he will surely NOT be with the Eagles. The only UNclear item is whether he will be with another team or out of football completely.

Vick taking a beating each and every game is just a small piece of payback that he deserves. Sweeet!

Vick’s future should be clear, not unclear. Vick will be doing back-up duty next year and probably be out of football the following year. Vick is over-rated as a QB and always has been. Stats dont lie.

Vick has been holding teams back since he entered the league. Given all the credit for wins and none of the blame for losses. Well, now it is coming around to where he is recieving some of the blame for losing. It wont be too long and he will be on the bench in Philly (if Reid is smart enough to see the Eagles have won despite Vick being their QB).

If Andy continues his determination to make Vick a viable option at QB for the Eagles, they will both be packing out thier respective work areas on the same day this coming offseason.

people look at the stat line and defend the pass heavey game plan.

The runs that andy called were at the worst possible times and the most predictible calls.

it’s like he does that on purpose so he can say “we tried to do that, there just wasnt much there for us.”

this man is a joke anymore.

I almost hope that Reid decides to put Foles in, just so all these mouth-breathers can see that Vick is not the whole problem and a few good preseason games doesn’t make you a savior.

The Eagles are 1 game back in the division, to a team they’ve beat. It’s not the end of the world, it just feels like it. So stop calling for a drastic move that WILL be the end of the world just because you’re frustrated and want your pound of flesh.

Yet no one is questioning Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady all with equal or less wins as Vick.

What’s wrong with this picture?

_________________________

Well, for starters, every QB you named (except Vick) has won a SB and have proven they are winners and know how to stage a comeback.

Neither Vick nor Reid have approached that mark, save Reid showing Donovan the way to the conference championships and the one SB appearance.

Let me put it this way, I can see all of the mentioned QB’s staging a run to the playoffs, with maybe the exception of Manning (who I’m convinced is more hurt and affected by the neck injury than has been let on) and Brees. And in Brees’ case, I think it’s more the team than him personally.

I mean, c’mon, who CAN’T see Brady, Brees, or Rogers leading their teams back to a championship in the near future?

Can you really see Vick and Reid doing the same? I can’t, and I’m an Eagles fan…

Reid for years ran a team with an offense that basically had interchangable QB. McNabb, Feely, Kolb, Garcia… none of them had wide outs as good as what Vick has, some had a line as poor as this one but all performed better then Vick has.

Vick tries to do too much, always going for the big play and it seems that Reid has bought into this. Reid needs to switch QBs and tell Foles take what the D gives you the big play will happen on its own.

How anyone can harbor an ounce of confidence in Michael Vick is beyond my ability to comprehend! He has accomplished absolutely nothing worth discussion as a starting quarterback for two franchises other than the distinction of being the most overrated player in the league!

I know how to cut down on Vick’s fumbles, ints and hits: give McCoy the damn ball!

———————————————they gave McCoy the ball 14 times he gained 22 yds. you happy with that ?

at this pt the eagles are not a good football team. if they continue at this level or do worse, both reid and vick are gone. however, if they improve, win more and vick reduces turnovers, both reid and vick get a stay of execution. also now the defense is not playing well, which adds to reid’s precarious situation. but the defense is also ultimately reid’s responsiblity, specifically because he hired castillo as def coor and has the questionable strategy of prioritizing the allocation of resources to DE and CB.

the detroit loss was a brutal one for the eagles, make no mistake. it will add further pressure to what has become a very stressful situation for reid, vick and now the defense.

Don’t worry about it, just take out life insurance because he’s going to get killed behind that offensive line.

I’m not an Eagles fan, but watching them makes me uneasy. Every time Vick has the ball in his hands there is little certainty what he’ll do.

He will not however, do the following:

1) Throw an accurate pass.
2) Run without putting himself in a compromising position to turn the ball over.
3) Be consistent.

Man what haters. Didn’t the Eagles win this past Sunday? Aren’t they 4-2 in a tough division? Get a life and let the man play. Its tough to win in the NFL and so far they’ve done it 4 out of the last 6 weeks.
PS Congrats to Vick getting a new dog and a fat contract.

Both must go…..

Reid has been the greatest Eagles coach in my 41 years of life, but it is time for a change. It is the same story year after year, same mistakes, same flawed gameplans.

Vick is mediocre QB at best. He can be brilliant at times, but in the end will always break your heart. Way too careless with the football, does not read defenses or blitzes well, and holds onto the ball way too long.

Cox’s punch, Nnamdi Asomugha questioning play calling and andy reid’s “I need to do a better job” 3 minute press conference after the game shows you that 2012 Philadelphia Eagles has turned back into 2011 Philadelphia Eagles.

As an Eagles fan I am just tired of Andy Reid. I’m tired of the same old mistakes every season with tons of penalties, turnovers, an offensive line coach as a defensive cordinator, the refusal to run the ball in a balanced attack. Our special teams hasn’t been good in years. Andy Reid has not fixed the problems he was supposed to. I think Andy Reid is a good coach in many ways, but after 15 years I am ready for a big change with this team. Every game watching the same old mistakes and excuses has become so frustrating that it kills my excitement for this team. I really hope this is Andy Reid’s last season, because I am convinced he won’t ever get the Eagles to the promise land.

Think its time the eagles go the titans way and part ways with their long time coach! Start fresh! New coach new scheme new qb in foles. Dont start him under reid then reid gets fired and the kid has to learn a new offense. Fire reid right after the season hire a new coach asap n let the kid learn the new offense in the offseason. As for vick if somehow fat mouth rex ryan keeps his job and the clown show continues under tannebum and krusty the clown vick will be wearing a jets jersey! Vick n diesel jesus will make a awesome clown show qb tandem and get the jets to the top…of every newspaper and sporting outlet just like they want and are good for

We Falcon fans know exactly what you are talking about. Vick swears he is reformed, but he now has a dog, or he likes Milk Bone treats. His playing has regressed. He never committed that many turnovers per game.
I’d probably give him one more game, and then bench him. It is hard enough to win games without giving up the ball 3, 4 or 5 times a game.

Vick is a warrior. I don’t know how he is still on his feet after the pounding he takes.

The Eagles will work out the kinks and make the playoffs.

two playoff teams with losing records, coming off a bye week against an eagles team that has had hard fought emotional games 3 weeks in a row?

both the lions and Steelers had more to time to prepare, and had more to win for. of course it isn’t good that the eagles lost but they are atleast .500 and already beat the defending superbowl champs. if any of you are intelligent eagles fans like you claim, you’ll back of the edge and realize the eagles are a second half team. if they make it October 4-3 they will win the division and make noise in the post season.

I would have serious reservation too if i was Vick playing in front of a O-LINE that will get him killed, They consistently got blown up at the line where McCoy had to eat the ball in the backfield for no gains.

Once again Vick left the field with a 10 POINT lead with 5 minutes to play and the DEFENSE cough it up again, Mind you they are sackless in the past 3 games poor Jim johnson is turning in his grave.

Look at the playoffs, at least from this early vantage point: Giants, 49ers, Falcons, Seahawks, Packers, Bears, at the least, with a host of other teams pretty much at the Eagles’ level (Cowboys, Cardinals, Lions, Redskins, Saints, Vikings). They aren’t getting far, if they even reach the playoffs, with that many better teams in the mix.

And which likely AFC contender could they beat in a SB?

This is not going to be a banner year for the Eagles, so look to plan B, Philly.

I see alot of vick hatred up here but he didint give up 250 yards and 17 points in the fourth. He is not the one calling the plays. When you have a ten point lead with 3:45 left you run the ball. He played a good game and gave his team the lead as he has done all 6 games they have had a lead in the fourth and thats what you want your qb to do. So stop with all the vick hate, cause its not all on vick. Who is the o line coach he need to be fire now, this is a true eagles fan not someone who say that look at one person and try to put the blame on him. The whole team as a whole need to get better

52 years and counting. I’m only slightly older than that, and I’m starting to doubt we will ever have a SB trophy in my lifetime.

So I say stop buying jerseys and t-shirts, forget about the $10 beers, have a tailgate party at the Linc but don’t go in the stadium — heck, don’t even show up.

In the meantime, root for the Falcons. Matty Ice is a Chester County kid, and deserves the support.

One or two weeks of a partially filled stadium, and Lurie will get the message.

I think Reid’s broom-stache has grown into his brain. McCoy is a freakin machine, yet he’s perfectly fine with Vick dropping back 30-40 times a game. Letting Vick throw that many times is a sure recipe for disaster. Up 10 points in the 4th qtr, it should have been the McCoy & Brown ground show, with some screens and short passes mixed in – keep the chains & clock moving.
