Even more reason to let ol'Andy go since he still has a say in personnel decisions. OLine was a problem dating back to last year, and Jason Peters injury in offseason doesn't help... but Eagles have known about the offensive line issues for some time now.

Vick has held onto the ball for too long at times too, and the playcalling has been poor... too many mid to deep routes where u cannot get the ball out quick.

That's what I keep thinking every time I watch the Eagles. Especially with backups up front, why does the coaching staff continue to operate as though they have a good o-line? Why do they expect all these exotic deep routes they have Jackson running to develop when half the time someone is in Vick's face right as he finishes his drop? They are too stubborn for their own good. Instead of fashioning a game plan to fit around the personnel that is on the field, they are setting them up to fail.

That Eagles offensive line has to be one of the worst I've ever seen. I can't blame that on Vick. That line actually stinks worse than Dallas O line. Now that is bad.

Exactly, the first two plays for last night's game were both playaction passes. Really?!? Really Reid.... The league knows you pass in upwards of 65% of the time, and you think that your opponent is going to bite on playaction passes?

I expected to see a couple runs right out the gate, and once I did not and then saw the pass pro breakdown immediately AGAIN... I just threw in the white flag as my initial game posts reflect and went on to something else that would bring me some joy lol.

I'm pretty sure, research done through Madden, if we place a kicker on the line, we may be able to hold off the rush. I mean, what do we have to lose at this point?

Seriously, its almost like they just don't like Vick and want to see him hurt. No way these are NFL linemen.. no way.

*I'm seriously cussing out loud right now thinking about this*

I don't care. You touch the ball you need to catch it. I don't care how difficult it is. Your paid to catch it. That's why they are out there an I'm not. Roddy an Julio drop catches all the time an I get on them. Ima get on Celek when he tips a pass into a defensive touchdown

I just can't blame Vick too much. I seen a stat before this game saying only Peyton Manning has throw less Ints then Vick has since week 3. That's pretty damn good considering how bad the OL is. He's always fumbled the ball but its worse this year because he's constantly under attack.

Sucks for Vick being in such a difficult spot. This team just never seems motivated especially on defense.
