Ok….ive heard enough. I am a dedicated, bleed green since Randall Cunningham came outta UNLV, EAGLES FAN. I was at phoenix stadium when philly had a chance at another Super bowl visit and failed and it broke my heart. I walked outta that stadium like a man and rocked my “Westbrook” jersey all the way back to my hotel with a smile on my face because im a true fan who does not bark hard when we win and call for Andy’s head on a plate when we lose. Trust me eagles family, we are not better without our coach. Just need one quality transaction for a QB that can read defense pre-snap and an offensive coordinator that can read our QB and make in-game adjustments to what the defense is doing. Mornigweg is the problem!!!!!!!

Umm? Didn’t Vick state a few weeks ago that mistakes were essentially predestined and were meant to happen if they were meant to happen.

Here is an idea…use reverse psychology and tell him to make mistakes and maybe he will stop making mistakes.

“I sure wish they’d play Foles….he can’t be worse”

Maybe he can’t be worse, but even if he’s only “as bad” as Vick that will be enough to destroy his confidence and ruin his career.

Is it just me, or does Marty Mornhinweg look just like the crazy Andy Andy character from “Cheers”? Come on, I can’t take that guy seriously!

Round and round the eagles go with vick…”play fearless” next game – 3 INTs….then “play smart”…next game 0 INTs but no offence…”play fearless”

This article has to be a joke…. lol

Anyway, its important for a qb to take risks to have success, just not every down.
vick doesnt have the smarts to pick and choose when to be conservative, and when to let it all fly. Thats why he racks up turnovers, and his OL struggles, he stretches everything out and the whole play implodes. Every once in awhile he is successful, but mostly not. (sound like the eagle games you have been watching?) YEP!

Eagles need a NEW QB… oh and a different walrus!

Against ATL. Vick had guys running free in the secondary, was looking right at them, was NOT under pressure…and did not throw the ball.

He missed at least 2 TD’s…

I think this is what Marty and the Eagles coaches are talking about.

So, he’s saying “take the over” on MNF, right?

Saints have worst defense in league.

Vick gives up more turnovers than any other player in league.

Somethings gotta give.

I love my Saints but, yeah, he really doesn’t have anything to worry about this week.

Real QBs make ‘mistakes’.

With Ron Mexico you have what has always been the case: a RB with a cannon arm who was too lazy to learn how to be a legit QB.

So what is a ‘mistake’ to a real QB comes natural to a player like Vick.

We’ll see what Andy and Marty have to say when Vick turns the ball over 4 times on Monday night and the Eagles get blown out.

Does anybody care what Marty Mornhinweg thinks?

Hypocrisy. Reid probably hopes he’ll have a five fumble game so the politics of benching him becomes easy.

Vick has never been afraid to turn the ball over. He averages just over one turnover to every TD over his career. Actually, his career stats are right at average, or about 50% on everything. Kinda strange really. Couldnt even hope to plan it that way.

And, enough about the O-line. Vick is responsible for calling protections and shouldnt expect to get more time in the pocket than anyone else. His O-line is 0% responsible for Vick taking hits outside the pocket. Vick likes to run with the ball – always has. That means he has never read past the first couple routes before taking off. Always has, always will. That is just how he learned to, and currently plays.

Vick has never been a pocket passer, ever. His passing stats are less than spectacular if you look at them over his career. I have no clue where the delusion among fans came from. Somehow Vick ended up in the “great” catagory, when he is average. I guess that is why people are so critical of the man. If you Judge Vick against his statistics, he has actually been playing like he normally does. Is that good enough? Probably not, but time will tell.

WOW…..I cannot wait to watch an eagles game where Vick is playing more reckless than usual…..this should be one for the ages.

Well, they script the first 15 plays … I’d slide a ‘Hail Mary’ into the first 5.

2 turnovers and injured by 3rd quarter

the line isn’t good but they are huge think all 6’4 an up. need to pound teams more 3 and outs all day lead to fresh lineman rushing QB all day. don’t even think Vick can see over them without 7 step drop. Can’t do that every play in the NFL

The Eagles would be much better with Matt Leinart leading the way – The man has 2 national championships and a Heisman Trophy – I think he would be the best person to lead the Eagles a Super Bowl championship

Guess the coaching staff is hoping Vick is making mistakes to offset the multitude of mistakes they will make on Monday night. Sigh, can we please end the season and blow this team up already?
