Michael Vick had just finished one of his more disappointing outings as a starter for the Philadelphia Eagles, if he suffers another loss in one of these "must win" games, he will probably lose his job. The last thing Vick probably expected to answer questions about at that point were tweets that his brother, Marcus, wrote, welcome to 2012. Marcus blamed the Eagles' offensive line for his brother's troubles and asked for the Eagles to trade Michael before deleting the tweet. (Among other things.) Michael clearly was unhappy to hear it after the Eagles' 28-13 loss Monday to the New Orleans Saints. "He tweeted that during the game? I'm sorry. I'm unaware of that," Michael Vick told reporters before pausing with disappointment, via CSNPhilly.com. "That's something I'm really going to have to address once I leave here. We're out there fighting as hard as we can, giving it everything we've got, and that's certainly not the case. I love each and every guy in that locker room, and if I could make every play right I would. I know they would do the same, so that's certainly not the case." Source: NFL.com
Watching that game last night, I actually felt a little bad for Vick. Last night wasn't really his fault. That INT, Celek has to see that ball coming, his arm was held...not Vick's fault. Vick was out there fighting and basically was getting no help. When McCoy was running the way he was last night, 94 yards in the first half and only winds up with 19 carries and 119 yards? McCoy should've run the ball 30 times last night...last night was all about poor coaching IMO. Then what was with Reid's comment about Castillo? Miscalculation?!? Why? Firing him? Making the OLine coach and making him a DC? Making him the scapegoat? I don't get it...
yep, the coaching is horrible right now, most of the players aren't playing well, vick is not playing well ............... it is a big mess and if the rest of season plays out like this, we should see a massive house cleaning with reid fired, vick and many other expensive free agents released, roseman put back into personnel, a g.m. brought in, a new h.c. hired, and start re-grouping.
Last night was different than most of the other games this year. Last night was not on Vick. The line was absolute dogcrap, and the pick was more on Celek than Vick. The playcalling was lousy and unbalanced once again. However, it doesn't change the fact that he is still unable to audible for protection on a blindside rusher coming unguarded off the edge, or locate the hot route and getting the ball out faster. I mean I really don't care if Foles starts. If we think he is the QB of the future, get the man some playing time. And pick a favorable scheme that has him throwing the ball within three seconds.
I disagree, Ben Roethlisberger as an example. Sure he was getting sacked, but he was still winning. Aaron Rodgers this season. Getting killed, but playing well. I would begin with a QB and then O-Line after that.
nah, ben and aaron never, ever had it this bad. that said the line was "fine" last year and the team's record was what again ?
