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.
A first place showdown with the Dallas Cowboys is looming, but the Eagles continue to field questions about their quarterback situation.
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.
Whether Chip Kelly, Michael Vick or Nick Foles think there is a quarterback controversy with the Philadelphia Eagles is immaterial. There is a quarterback controversy.
While Chip Kelly says Michael Vick is day to day, and Vick says his condition is improving, it still seems unlikely he will start on Sunday against the Bucs. With a capable backup in Nick Foles, and the ability to run a necessity, giving his strained hamstring another week to heal would be the most likely option.
Chris reviews President Obama's interview with local News Anchor Rick Williams, the NFL's announcement they will meet with a Native American group over the name of the Washington Redskins, and the President's appointment of Janet Yellen for the next Chair of the Federal Reserve. He talks to Steve Cordasco on Finance Friday and CBS 3's Beasley Reece.
As the Eagles get ready to face the Buccaneers in Tampa, Vick continues to recover from a hamstring injury. While most believe Vick won't be ready to play on Sunday, he says he is still hopeful he will be able to take the field.
As the quarterback debate (it's short of a controversy right) rages on in Philadelphia, the discussion is regarding whether Nick Foles is better for the Eagles than Michael Vick. Vick was injured in the Eagles 36-21 win over the Giants, and Foles came in and impressed, throwing for two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
Chip Kelly says the starting QB will be determined by "performance."
Nick Foles gets the biggest gold star of the week, for giving us the QB controversy we need.
Eagles fans were breathing a little easier Sunday evening, after the team snapped their three-game losing streak.
The Eagles snapped a three-game losing skid, to improve to 2-3 with their 36-21 victory over the horrible New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
The Eagles and New York Giants will be playing to escape last place when they meet Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
I remember the second half of last season, it was almost impossible to do this column every week. This was because it was almost impossible to find anyone on the Eagles to give a "gold star" to. This week feels like one of those weeks.
The Broncos did what was expected they would do to the woeful Eagles' secondary and slice them up for a 52-20 victory.
Last time the Philadelphia Eagles faced Peyton Manning, Michael Vick was the better quarterback.
The Eagles made many mistakes in Thursday night's loss to the Chiefs, from just about every position on the field. A few of those mistakes seemed to come from center Jason Kelce, who was involved in a few bad snaps, one of them resulting in a fumble and loss of possession.
Chris discusses the latest Republican efforts to repeal Obamacare and the Phillies decision to formally hire Ryne Sandberg as their Manager. He talks to new CBS 3 News Anchor Jessica Dean, Phillies Broadcaster Larry Andersen, Michael Bronstein and Colin Hanna on the Monday Morning Matchup, and Melissa Maerz from Entertainment Weekly.
Whether he's in the pocket or on the move, Michael Vick keeps taking hits.
The Eagles lost a game they could have and should have won last Sunday. They couldn't contain San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers, who threw for 410 yards, completing 36 of 47 passes without an interception. That was their most significant failure. But what the game amounted to was third downs.
Chip Kelly was direct, accountable and right now seems very patient in dealing with the media and something new Kelly very rarely had to deal with at Oregon—losing.
Andy Reid returned to Lincoln Financial Field last night, and brought the 2012 Eagles with him.
The loss wasted an amazing effort by LeSean McCoy, who rushed for a game-high 158 yards rushing on 20 carries, including a 41-yard fourth quarter touchdown that put the Eagles within a score of tying the Chiefs.
Chip Kelly has only been a head coach in the NFL for two games, but Donvovan McNabb has seen enough.
