I hope he gets hot! He needs to end Eli’s season so we don’t have to spend the post season hearing about a possible Manning bowl in New Orleans…
======================================

Now I am pulling for the Giants. What better city for these 2 bothers to play against each other in the Sb then the city their father played and never even saw the SB. Talk About irony

Foles was hit repeatedly..it wasn’t just one lineman letting a guy get by, it was the entire pocket collapsing. I don’t know how Foles lasted as long as he did and he deserves props for playing the 2nd half with a broken hand…no wonder his passes looked a little wobbly..should have tied the game if Evan Moore doesn’t drop a pass.

And yet, Vick will still be released because him and Andy Reid are the scapegoats for a joke of a season.
The Eagles have 4 wins, and 3 of them are come from behind victories led by Michael Vick, playing behind one of the worst offensive lines in NFL history, and an atrocious defence.

The eagles would be incredibly ignorant to let this guy go, but they will. And a team like the Jets or Cardinals (both teams with good defences) will scoop a quarterback who has a career winning percentage of over 70%, with Brian Finneran being the best receiver he has ever had.

Oh, and lets not forget Vick dismantled this league not even 2 years ago… His health is a question mark (mainly concussions). But if he plays for a team with a decent defence and has longer than 0.6 seconds in the pocket, that team is in the playoffs guaranteed.

Last two weeks has shown that a number of guys have reached the end of their careers. You get old fast in this game and once it’s gone, it ain’t coming back. Giants needs to let a number of guys whose contracts are up go and bring in new blood. It’s rebuilding time. They’re good enough to win a big game here and there, but too many guys are too old to make a run like last year. O-line is basically a year away from a full collapse and JPP is the only stud left on the D-line. Two Super Bowls in five years is a damn good run, but it’s time to get younger.

Give me a second.

You mean Nick Foles, the guy who is 6’6, 240 pounds. The guy who is 10x more durable than Vick, gets rid of the ball quicker because of his incredible football IQ, started five games and is now injured and out for the rest of the season?? If Vick is injury prone, what is the great Nick Foles?

There is 1 game left in the “rest of the season” there genius. It’t not like Foles is out for a month or 2

He’s Bobby Hoying all over again, and it will be interesting to see if they pull the trigger on another young QB at the top of the draft again.

redskins arent any better, teams will expose rg3 like they did cam this year, and at least the eagles have their 1st round picks the next few years too

_________________________________

And yet, theyre both putting up far better numbers than Luck. Cam has been killing it the last 6 weeks.

We’re really worried about 2 draft picks. Remember who got Cousins in the 4th and Morris in the 6th? Yawn.
