I do think that the eagles will make the playoffs. We are truly confident now and with a fresh rookie quarterback under center I see the eagles winning the NFC east at 10-6

Dude, the problrm what vick has amd nick foles not is a terrible o-line. The o-line got atleast five men blitzing when vick is under center, and u saw against the cowboys they couldnt even handle a 3 mrn rush. Beside that, vick is hit like he is a runningback, and still manage to make some big plays. He stays in the pocket knowing he is getting hit amd hit hard. I know that foles cant handle the pressure and hits like vick gets it. And if the o-line is decent, the eagles are a playoff team.

1. Get a better camera, 2. Actually show highlight clips that aren't negated by penalties.

Vick the most late hit QB in NFL. Vick don't get penalty flags like other QBs .

Mike Vick's career been going downhill ever since Vick been told not to run and scramble anymore. Vick is best at extending plays . Vick NOT a system guy! Articles on internet like " Why don't Vick run anymore " 2010 Vick took Kevin Kolb's job cuz offensive line could not protect Kolb . Vick's good scrambling ability hid some OL problems .Eagles OL still lousy but he's not scrambling anymore.

We never cut Dawkins................... we just never resigned him to a new contract.

Yea like the time that Brian Dawkins wanted to take a pay cut and retire as an Eagle. Then we cut him and he still went to the pro bowl. I miss big BDawk =[
