    Kinda like what the Yucs did to the Beagles when they opened their new stadium hahahaha. Worse yet, the Yucs closed out the Vet and opened the Clinc with a victory. That is really sad LOL
  • As a Cowboys fan, there is nothing worse where I live than a weekend with a Saints win and a Cowboys loss. However, the fact that the Saints beat the Beagles made it a little easier to take.

    EDIT: Didn't even read Matt's reply before I started typing. We both said Beagles!

    I hate the Eagles as much as I hate the Phillies.


    Oh and the Philadelphia mint sucks too.

    Good for you.
  • The Eagles don't have their priorities straight. I predict many more losses for them this season and rightfully so.

  • The Eagles will be just fine. Get that stinkhole of a game out of the way and head down the road.

    Any team in the league would love to have half the weapons and four QBs of that caliber at the ready.

    There are many options to come that will befuddle opposing defenses. We saw just a taste of it yesterday.

    Unfortunately the defense played a crap game against one of the NFC's best QBs, and the special teams gave the Saints good field position too often.

    They'll put this one in the crapper and make sure it doesn't happen again.

    As soon as McNadd is back, Garcia will be cut.

    The Eagles are obviously planning on using the wildcat just like every other team. If they do, McNadd is worthless for half the offensive plays.

    Vick is only about half the player he used to be. Desean Jackson would be the best QB option for the wildcat formation but he is also the teams best ST's guy and one of the best receivers.

    Kolb obviously likes throwing the ball to the other team.

    If I was an Eagles fan, I would be worried.

    BTW, how is Brian Westbrook this year? Broken down after 2 games.

    They ran nine Wildcat plays out of 75 total on offense. Not close to half and I see them running it less when McNabb is in.

    No one has really seen Vick enough yet to evaluate where he is. I wouldn't bank on his throwing ability anyway. He'll be used more for the run.

    Westbrook will become a situational guy, ripping off good yardage at the right time. They have other RBs now to fill in.

    Whether McNabb likes it or not, Vick will be in there on some, if not many, third and long situations, whereby a QB run for a first down would be an option - this forces at least one player on D to spot Vick, opening up a lane for a receiver...now hopefully Vick will be up to speed enough to accurately throw the ball because for sure, opposing D's in the beginning are gonna force Vick to beat them with the pass.
