    Let’s go Vick, please please don’t suck this week… We don’t need a QB controversy this year.

  2. 2 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:04 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    lets go birds!

  3. 3 Corry Henry said at 1:04 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    We have 3 active running backs on the roster. Let’s let them do something other than hold the turf down.

  4. 4 Corry Henry said at 1:08 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    If Vick can keep throwing like this, then by all means, throw all day.

  5. 5 SteveH said at 1:09 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I like this Vick.

  6. 6 Corry Henry said at 1:10 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Face. Palm.

  7. 7 DamonL86 said at 1:10 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    unreal

  8. 8 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:10 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    THROW IT AWAY!!!!

  9. 9 SteveH said at 1:10 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Sorry guys I jinxed it.

  10. 10 DamonL86 said at 1:11 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    nothing has changed move the ball right down the field and turn it over

  11. 11 bdbd20 said at 1:12 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    This crap is getting old really fast. No more excuses.

    If he can’t comprehend ball security, get rid of him.

  12. 12 ACViking said at 1:12 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    T – E -R -R – I – B – L -E.

    Vick is NOT seeing the field.

    Dear Eagles Supporters,

    Thank you for all your suggestions and constructive critiques. We have considered them all quite carefully and decided we are going to throw the ball.

    Andy and Marty

  14. 14 ben said at 1:12 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Reid/MM couldn’t have planned that drive any better…til Vick gave it away at the end

  15. 15 MatthewBryan said at 1:12 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Here we go again…

  16. 16 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:12 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    i gotta give them credit for moving the ball down the field so well, but the turnovers are going to kill us if they keep it up.

  17. 17 Corry Henry said at 1:13 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Defense bailing out the Offense!

  18. 18 Scott Buchanan said at 1:13 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Foles please

  19. 19 DamonL86 said at 1:14 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    COLE!

  20. 20 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:14 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    awesome stuff!

  21. 21 TommyLawlor said at 1:18 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Landri drove the C back, meaning Flacco couldn’t step up in the pocket. Then Trent got the strip sack off the edge. Great teamwork.

  22. 22 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:15 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    aaaaaaaaaaaaand here come the flags

  23. 23 DamonL86 said at 1:15 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    holding go figure on a run

  24. 24 Corry Henry said at 1:15 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    McCoy is going to lead the league in good runs nullified by penalty.

  25. 25 TommyLawlor said at 1:17 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Sadly, you might be right.

  26. 26 TommyLawlor said at 1:16 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    So…Juan Castillo > Michael Vick?

  27. 27 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:18 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    lol its amazing how many hits vick is taking. i think ive seen maybe 2 passes where he has not been hit… i hope that body armor is some good stuff

  28. 28 ACViking said at 1:18 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    A sad and scary thought.

  29. 29 Eric Weaver said at 1:19 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    If we hit a QB like Vick was hit that’d be a roughing the passer penalty.

  30. 30 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:19 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    holy crap. mccoy had to work for that 1 yard there

  31. 31 iskar36 said at 1:20 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    We got the first but was that a wise decision to go for it?

  32. 32 aub32 said at 1:24 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    if it works then it was the right and therefore wise decision

  33. 33 iskar36 said at 1:27 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I generally don’t view it that way. I think the decision and the execution are two separate things. We executed the play, but tht doesn’t make the decision wise.

  34. 34 ACViking said at 1:21 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Love Mudd.

    But his small, fast, athletic lines are tough to watch at the goal line — sometimes.

  35. 35 Corry Henry said at 1:23 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    That blocking was horrendous, but McCoy is tough to stop on goal to go situations.

  36. 36 Corry Henry said at 1:23 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Eddie Money looks terrible.

  37. 37 phillychuck said at 1:26 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Where is the kick coverage team? We looked bad there last week, too.

  38. 38 TommyLawlor said at 1:27 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Definitely needs to get better. Can’t give BAL good field position.

  39. 39 ACViking said at 1:26 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Colt Anderson is NOT yet Colt Anderson. Ugh

  40. 40 Corry Henry said at 1:27 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Looks like he got blocked in the back

  41. 41 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:28 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    nice throw-catch there. nate allen was right on him.

  42. 42 ACViking said at 1:30 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I’ll be very disappointed if various Eagles aren’t “Hurt” from time to time.

  43. 43 DamonL86 said at 1:31 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    That didnt take long to tie it up

  44. 44 ACViking said at 1:32 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    The Ravens just PUNCHED the Eagles’ defensive front 7 in the mouth.

    Let’s see how the Eagles defense reacts to that.

  45. 45 iskar36 said at 1:34 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Yea, we got outmatched on that drive. Not good to see after a td but hopefully the d responds well on the next drive.

  46. 46 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:33 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    whats the best way to fight the no-huddle offense?

  47. 47 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:36 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    haha brent knows how to work the crowd

  48. 48 Corry Henry said at 1:36 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Celek is TOUGH.

  49. 49 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:38 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    huge miscommunication between watkins and herremans there. plus another rusher from the other side…

  50. 50 iskar36 said at 1:39 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    That seems to be a new wrinkle in our offense. I don’t remember ever having the FB run this often.

  51. 51 nicolajNN said at 1:39 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Not sure this often, but Weaver did a fair bit of running and receiving

  52. 52 phillychuck said at 1:40 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Let’s remove that wrinkle and give it to Shady, please.

  53. 53 iskar36 said at 1:41 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Lol. I said new wrinkle, not a good wrinkle.

  54. 54 ian_no_2 said at 1:41 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Havili didn’t run much in college. They have three guys that can run suited up

  55. 55 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:40 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    we keep splitting a back out wide. i would imagine that later in the game we are going to throw it to the back

  56. 56 ACViking said at 1:41 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Sack on Vick . . . Eagles using man-to-man pass-blocking.

    Saw that problem last week against the Browns — especially on Dunlap’s side.

    I don’t know if Mudd teaches Zone pass-blocking concepts. But something needs to be done to protect the QB.

    (1980 Super Bowl, the Raiders used zone pass blocking to completely shut down the Eagles pass rush. In the teams’ regular season game, won 10-7 by the Eagles, the Raiders used man-to-man pass blocking . . . and the Eagles had 8 sacks.)

  57. 57 Corry Henry said at 1:45 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Considine is still in the NFL???

  58. 58 bdbd20 said at 1:45 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Damn I love Harbaugh. Gamble didn’t work, but I love the call.

  59. 59 ian_no_2 said at 1:45 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    We finally figured out what to do with Sean Considine. Special teams on the other team.

  60. 60 ian_no_2 said at 1:47 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    If he learned anything from Andy, Harbaugh’ll say about that fourth down play in the press conference “I saw something.”

  61. 61 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:46 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    some pretty interesting coaching going on here. reid goes for it on 4th & short in the 1st quarter, JH calls for a fake punt. cool stuff. fun game.

  62. 62 Corry Henry said at 1:48 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Lots of pushing and shoving for a game between non-rivals.

  63. 63 phillychuck said at 1:48 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Replacement officials have to take control of the game.

  64. 64 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:50 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    jackson needs to get his head in the game. i like the way he’s playing, but he’s a little too fired up right now. i dont want him taking a stupid penalty

  65. 65 Scott Buchanan said at 1:51 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Vick and the penalties…ugh

  66. 66 Corry Henry said at 1:52 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    You’ve got to be kidding me.

  67. 67 SteveH said at 1:52 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I love how McCoy can make people miss in small spaces.

  68. 68 TheRogerPodacter said at 1:53 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    what….the….fuck……..

  69. 69 iskar36 said at 1:53 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Are you fucking kidding me!

  70. 70 DamonL86 said at 1:54 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    wont be seeing brown carrying the ball again

  71. 71 ACViking said at 1:54 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    RE: Bryce Brown

    In the immortal words of Capo Pete Clemenza . . . “won’t see him no more.”

  72. 72 TommyLawlor said at 1:55 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Good reference. Wish you didn’t have to use it.

  73. 73 ian_no_2 said at 1:54 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Chris Polk doesn’t fumble. People don’t take fumbling stats seriously enough.

  74. 74 phillychuck said at 1:54 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    That was a lousy exchange–Vick didn’t get the ball into Browns body on the handoff, and Brown didn’t react well to the low hand-off.

  75. 75 ben said at 1:55 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Brown has so little experience…

  76. 76 DamonL86 said at 1:55 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    good to see we have not fixed our turnover problems

  77. 77 ben said at 1:55 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Yikes

  78. 78 ACViking said at 1:59 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Eagles’ run-defense is soft today. Straight-ahead plays hurting them . . . just like last year.

    (Rice’s long run . . . close to a hold, if not a hold, on Landri)

  79. 79 ben said at 2:01 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    The throw Weeden couldn’t complete…

  80. 80 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:01 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    looked like coleman was also beat underneath when he stumbled. they were getting that td either way. : (

  81. 81 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:04 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    nevermind, don’t think that was coleman. maybe boykin?

  82. 82 phillychuck said at 2:01 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Nnamdi sure looks like a below average corner these days.

  83. 83 SteveH said at 2:01 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Mmm, that stings.

  84. 84 Scott Buchanan said at 2:01 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Tommy I would have to say its chicken shit so far…

  85. 85 DamonL86 said at 2:02 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    More points off turnovers

  86. 86 Crus57 said at 2:03 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Yeah but if the Eagles turn it over basically every drive, all their points are off turnovers.

  87. 87 ACViking said at 2:03 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    T-Law:

    You can pull out your DGR from the 4th Q of the SF game last year and change the names. Or pretty close.

  88. 88 ACViking said at 2:05 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Vick looking like it’s “Hero Time”.

    Too early for that.

  89. 89 ACViking said at 2:06 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    3rd & 1.

    A truly LOUSY call.

  90. 90 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:06 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    i was hoping it was a designed qb draw or something. nope.

  91. 91 phillychuck said at 2:06 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    He had the first down and dropped the ball. So that makes it a lousy call, right? Sometimes it’s on the players.

  92. 92 DamonL86 said at 2:06 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    you have to catch that

  93. 93 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:06 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    ugh. shady…. you GOTTA catch that one…

  94. 94 DamonL86 said at 2:07 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    and terrible punt

  95. 95 Corry Henry said at 2:07 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    If i’m John Harbaugh, I come out in the no huddle and put my foot on Philadelphia’s throat.

  96. 96 DamonL86 said at 2:07 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    defense needs to make a stand here

  97. 97 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:09 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    nice pressure from graham.

  98. 98 Corry Henry said at 2:09 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Always good to see that.

  99. 99 ACViking said at 2:10 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    3rd & 2 for Ravens . . . Brandon Graham just got a “Mamula”.

  100. 100 TommyLawlor said at 2:13 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Nice play by BG.

  101. 101 Corry Henry said at 2:12 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    McPhee got airborne courtesy of the ToddFather.

    Bryce Brown is no Paulie Gatto

  103. 103 DamonL86 said at 2:15 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    unreal

  104. 104 Corry Henry said at 2:15 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    REALLY?!

  105. 105 phillychuck said at 2:15 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Un-freaking-believable.

  106. 106 DamonL86 said at 2:15 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    This is a joke

  107. 107 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:15 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    another fumble?!?! you have got to be shitting me.

  108. 108 TommyLawlor said at 2:15 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I am in a state of shock.

  109. 109 iskar36 said at 2:17 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Really? This is the same team we have watched for over a year.

  110. 110 Scott Buchanan said at 2:20 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I agree 100%

  111. 111 Scott Buchanan said at 2:16 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Same team different year..

  112. 112 SteveH said at 2:17 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Wow.

  113. 113 bdbd20 said at 2:17 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I would be shocked, but we saw the same thing last year. Several times. Thanks for the memories Andy.

  114. 114 phillychuck said at 2:17 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    With the rate we’re fumbling the ball and committing penalties on run plays, we need to pass way more. Just sayin’.

  115. 115 Crus57 said at 2:18 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    They do know that the other team only gets the ball after you score and kick off, right? not before then.

  116. 116 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:18 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    how many RZ turnovers now?

  117. 117 Corry Henry said at 2:18 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I think all 3 today have been in the red zone.

  118. 118 phillychuck said at 2:20 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Now getting gashed on run plays, too. Deja vu.

  119. 119 ACViking said at 2:21 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Re: Eagles’ 3rd & 1 pass missed by McCoy

    I thought it was a bad call because McCoy is MONEY on short yardage. Run the ball and keep the clock running. Low risk play.

    Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes used to say 3 things can happen on a passing play and 2 of them are bad.

    That’s why I thought it was a lousy call.

    Yes . . . execution was worse.

  120. 120 phillychuck said at 2:24 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    How many NFL games did Woody Hayes win?

    Honestly, that kind of analysis is really wrong. Four things can happen on a run play, and three of them are bad–fumble, penalty, loss of yardage.

  121. 121 iskar36 said at 2:25 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I prefer to run on 3rd and short, but in the context of a whole game, you have to make sure to keep the defense guessing. You can’t run on every 3rd and short.

  122. 122 ACViking said at 2:26 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    TONGUE IN CHEEK!!!

  123. 123 ArnoMaris said at 2:23 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Our RB’s fumbling is one we didn’t see before.

  124. 124 Scott Buchanan said at 2:23 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Defense looking tired

  125. 125 bdbd20 said at 2:25 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Mike Zimmer, Dean Pees, Spags.

    Just throwing a few names out there in case……….

  126. 126 iskar36 said at 2:28 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Johnson can’t catch that punt at the 2. Dumb decision.

  127. 127 iskar36 said at 2:29 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Needed a better punt.

  128. 128 DamonL86 said at 2:29 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Nice punt

  129. 129 Corry Henry said at 2:30 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    going for a personal career best, he’ll make it.

  130. 130 DamonL86 said at 2:30 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    you know they will hit this fg

  131. 131 Corry Henry said at 2:31 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Seriously, Philly has to lead the league in having career long field goals kicked against them.

  132. 132 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:33 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    now we are down by 10 points, i dont think we will see much more running game today.

  133. 133 J. Brian Anderson said at 2:35 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Yeah this is pretty bad – it’s clear that Andy Reid et al can find talent what is not clear is that he can get them ready to play (gameplan aside) this team has looked VERY sloppy for 3 years. The offense is perennially ‘out-of-sync.’ How could you consider the Kolb-to-Vick transition anything other than a fluke?

  134. 134 DarthBanner said at 2:38 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    Some terrible football being played by the Eagles so far in the the first 2 games. 8 turnovers already? just brutal

  135. 135 TheRogerPodacter said at 2:41 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    looking at the replays of the first half… on the RZ INT, had the TE in the endzone (harbor?) come back to vick on the play, it was an easy TD. instead, he stayed near the back of the endzone.

  136. 136 dropscience said at 2:44 PM on September 16th, 2012:

    I’m usually far more doom and gloom, but I don’t feel horrible about them “only” being down two scores after that mess of a half.
