when vick was behind center everything was his fault in the new orleans game the interception pick six off of the hand of celek was his fault the fumble for a touchdown in the arizona game as he was sacked and james sanders scored a 93 yd td was blamed on vick now that foles is in the game throwing behind jackson for a pick six getting another int reversed because of a holding penalty away from the play getting sacked and fumbling for another td essentially having the same fate losing the lead and eventually the game the excuses of oline protection horrible defense play bad play calling etc are the reasons

The Eagles don’t have their long-term answer at QB, they only have Vick and Foles. I HIGHLY doubt they think for a second that Foles (a 3rd round rookie) will be their answer at QB for the next 15 years. They’ll likely need to spend a high first round pick on a QB.

So I don’t understand the sentiment they should cut Vick. Vick is still a very productive player, and could offer them a solid starter for the next few years. Let Foles continue to develop. I feel strongly that many of the problems are because of the O-line and poor play calling. They took away what makes Vick so special, his ability to run the ball.

If they get rid of Vick, then ALL they have is Foles. Not something I’d be very excited about as the GM or potential head coach. At least with Vick, you still have some options.

Pulled for the Cowboys last night for the first time in my life ! The largest Blue City in America VS a Red city run by the Blank Panthers. It was a no braner !

Offensive line looked much different with Foles. Foles showed promise of a future. Vick showed nothing from his past.

I can’t stand either team, but at least the lesser of two evils won this time. I’d rather see the Cowbutts in the playoffs than Sick Vick.

Don’t get why people say Foles played well. He had 2 turnovers for scores and should have had a third if Claiborne could catch. Sorry, I’ve been here for many a Great White Hope (Hoying, Detmer, Kolb) and I won’t be falling for the fools gold again. It’s time for a complete flush of the whole mess top to bottom in 2013.

Are u dove fans serious?? Wat did Foles do that Vick didn’t do??? Foles got strip sacked, threw pics..(only one counted) & couldn’t hit open receivers…sounds a lot like a Vick game to me! Being in philly & a faithful fan of 97.5 the fanatic, I hear the gripes about benching Vick..but what will that help?? There is no qb on ur roster that can save u!! Foles looked sharp only in preseason & Trent Edwards sux!!

But I’m sure you’ll say, its on Reid too..which I agree 100%, but can a new coach come in and teach ASS-umugha how to tackle or play coverage?? Can a new coach make King Dunlap or Demetrius Bell good?? I keep seeing excuses about the oline ravaged with injuries..ummm Peters & Herrimans played last season..and they sucked too smh

I honestly believe Vick has been playing through these “concussion symptoms” since he got his bell seriously rung in that pre-season game. He just hasn’t been right all year but he is too stubborn/afraid to sit down because he doesnt want to lose the starting QB job.

Yes, they might as well start Foles next week, Vicks time in Philly is over, Reid’s too.

People are falling all over themselves to forgive Foles’ mistakes. “Oh, the pass bounced off DeSean’s hands!” Yeah, well last week when that happened on Vick’s pick six, it was just that “he couldn’t read the defense”. People are even saying the offensive line looked better when Foles was in, which is an absolute steaming pile. Foles is getting the benefit of all the excuses no one was willing to give Vick. There’s nothing Philly likes better than a white quarterback.

It doesn’t look good at all for Reid. Losing to Dallas will not go over at all with the fan base.

The walrus (aka Andy Reid) is like an old carton of milk that should’ve been thrown out a long time ago. Now it’s a big stinkin’ mess.

Foles played pretty well, besides one INT on a screen pass and a couple of other questionable decisions. The pick that was returned for a TD was thrown behind the receiver but really was some rather bad luck. He should have had another TD and the Eagles offensive line penalties cost the Eagles from getting more points.

Vick is not the future. The Eagles are not making the playoffs. Washington has a soft defense and no pass rush. There is ZERO reason not to start Foles next week.

Anyone else notice the O-line looked much better when Foles came into the game. Maybe we had a QB that could read defenses and blitzes better. Maybe the O-line plays better when they knew the QB is not running all over the place.

I hope vick will recover, but he may check out for rest of season with that bad line…it’s just not worth it to come back and get abused time after time from opposing defenses

I love the way the same people that gave Vick years of chances are now saying see I told you so about Foles after two quarters! D. Sanders did it already on NFL channel, sure Wilbon will do it on PTI tomorrow.

The ‘bad’ offensive line excuse is just that – more excuses for Vick lovers. He’s not a franchise QB anymore. Period. Sure, the O line is injured and subpar. But Vick has always been sacked more than other QB’s. He can’t read blitz packages and misses his quick read, which looks like an offensive line failure when it is actually a QB read failure.
People are hanging on to him like they held on to Mike Tyson. Tyson never came back after Buster Douglass. Neither is Vick.

The only thing in doubt about Reid and Vick is the exact date and time of their firings.

@deangleo23

the guy who said this is the “dream team” played one year and was never a significant player.

And 4/5 o-line starters out is a bigger deal than any injury on the redskins.

How come Tony Romo has more turnover than Michael Vick but no one is talking about benching Tony Romo?
=====================================

Maybe because he has the third highest passer rating of all time.

vstyle23 I agree. If there’s another city dumb enough to embrace Michael Vick, it’s NYC.

Reid will probably end up in Cleveland next year? Don’t know what to think of that!
————————————
Hasn’t Reid suffered enough?

In Cleveland he’ll either get hit by a beer bottle or a dog bone by an idiot fan throwing something on the field.

You people criticizing Foles for being behind on some throws fail to remember, timing is a big thing. When you don’t get to run with the 1′s, you don’t develop that timing and that showed.

Should Foles start next week, and he should, he will have a week of running with the 1′s, and his timing should be better. This will be an all around better test. Defense gets to prep for him so they are not caught off guard, and Foles has practiced with the players he is working with, not the scout team talent.

Next week could be a good gauge if Reid lets him play. I look for Vick to take 2-3 week to “recover” from his concussion.

Just me, or did the o-line play better AFTER Foles came in? Almost like they wanted Vick gone.

O-line was ok, except King “of penalties” Dunlap, I think he may have ultimately cost us the game. His crap killed us at all the wrong times.

foles no first team reps since pre-season can’t be judged on that play. Vick is probably the back-up the rest of the year before departing for Buffalo. and to the Chagrin of the writers on this blog and the many fans who so desire a change. Andy will be mentoring Mr. foles next season
