Eagles fans are likely to be pretty riled up on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, with the team having won two straight games, and the Cowboys in town with the division lead on the line. But it won't just be Eagles fans who will be ready for the game.
Michael Vick announced on Thurday, while standing next to Nick Foles, that he would not be playing in Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Vick says that while he heals from a hamstring injury, the team is in good hands with Foles.
Earlier this week, DeMarcus Ware seemed like he was definitely out of this Sunday's game with the Eagles; but that was not according to DeMarcus Ware.
There have only been five teams in the league you can count on for survival. And I mean really count on. They rarely make you sweat, and when they do it's only a temporary perspiration until they regain control of the game. These teams are the Broncos, Chiefs, Patriots, Seahawks and Saints.
Michael Vick and Nick Foles were side-by-side as the met with the media together on Thursday at the NovaCare Complex.
Hearing the name "Dallas Cowboys" is enough to boil the blood of most Eagles fans, but many of the current players are taking the high road.
Could a system using both Nick Foles and Michael Vick in the same game work for the Eagles?
Last week, it was a quarterback conversation. This week, after Nick Foles' performance in Tampa, it's a full-fledged quarterback controversy. This thing is still gaining speed. If Foles has another big-time game against the Cowboys, look out.
The Eagles just made it two in a row.
If you believe a player should not lose a job due to injury, then Mike Vick should be the starting quarterback if ready. Generally that is a good rule to live by, but in this particular case it may not be the best decision.
A first place showdown with the Dallas Cowboys is looming, but the Eagles continue to field questions about their quarterback situation.
While this may be Chip Kelly's first rodeo with the Cowboys, there are enough players on the roster who should know what is at stake when the star comes to town. The Eagles look to have the kind of offense that can cause some problems for Dallas, especially if the Cowboys fail to bring any sort of pass rush with the possible absence of DeMarcus Ware.
The division lead will be on the line Sunday, when the Cowboys visit Lincoln Financial Field to face the Eagles. They may be doing so without two of their biggest weapons.
Chip Kelly was noncommittal Monday at his day-after press conference as to who would be the Eagles' starting quarterback against visiting Dallas this Sunday in a NFC East battle for first place at Lincoln Financial Field.
