Eagles QB Michael Vick Says "Dream Team" Label "Is Dead"

Quarterback Michael Vick said Wednesday that the "dream team" label no longer applies to the Philadelphia Eagles. "The dream team ... that word is dead now," Vick said. "Can't talk dream team anymore. Maybe it put pressure on some players, maybe it didn't, but I think just the fact that it was lingering around and people were talking about it creates a sense of pressure. "So it's over with. We're just one of the teams that's got to scratch and claw from the bottom." The comments Vick made Wednesday echoed those he made Tuesday to the team's official website. "The dream team thing is over. Now we just have to forget about everything that's happened and take it one game at a time. That's what I've sensed in the locker room. I sense change. Nobody's happy about this," Vick told PhiladelphiaEagles.com. Backup quarterback Vince Young had dubbed the 2011 Eagles the "dream team" after Philadelphia collected a bevy of stars -- including cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, defensive end Jason Babin, defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins and Young -- in a frenzied offseason splurge, but the Eagles have dropped three consecutive games, blowing fourth-quarter leads in each, and at 1-3 sit in last place in the NFC East. In their Week 4 loss at home to the San Francisco 49ers, the Eagles squandered a 20-point lead. The Eagles visit Buffalo Sunday to face the Bills, who at 3-1 are tied for the AFC East lead.

No crap...........

If the Eagles lose to the Bills Sunday.........they're finished.

 

It should of never been "alive" VY should of kept his non-playing mouth shut.

 

If I could get on that Make-A-Wish list, my wish would be to put Vince Young in a batting cage wearing only his football helmet and some shorts and hit golf balls at that douche. He was an Eagle what, 3 days when he said that crap? The Eagles have always been the ultimate underdog and need to leave it that way.....AAAAAAND get rid of Juan Castillo on defense.

 

You GOT to let it go, Duke.

 

The dream is dead!

 

no kidding vick

 

I'm with Duke on this. Screw VY.

 

Never did buy into what VY and ESPN was selling.

 

Was dead as soon as it came out of his mouth...

 

After losing to the niners definitely.

 

Much like their playoff hopes.

 

I'll wait until this week to say what happens with the rest of the year. I'm not very hopeful but I think the scaling down of the wide 9 and such might help a bit. We can still bull rush Babin and eventually Cole but help the LB's over the middle. Maybe he'll let freaking Aso cover someone as well. Freaking A! Play to the strength's of your players.

 

heck that. join the andrew luck sweptstakes while getting that fat heck of a coach out here.

 

They just gave Vick 100 million dollars. They're not getting Luck.

 

:gtfo:

 

The Eagles FO has to do something, because it seems that the players have tuned Andy out.

 

my point being heck winning this season get in the running for the #1 pick while sending reid to the land of mormons.

besides, why not get luck ? there are clauses in vicks contract where the eagles can get out of the deal in two more years.
