Chip Kelly says it's a combination of "the little things" that caused Sunday's offensive ineptness.
Everything is on track for Michael Vick to return to the starting lineup for the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend as the New York Giants come to town. Second-year quarterback Nick Foles is out after not practicing all week due to a concussion, so Vick's return is quite timely for the Eagles.
What a disappointing offensive show the Birds put on at The Linc on Sunday. As some headlines said, it looked like Foles folded. As a result, Dallas leads the NFC East today with the Eagles second.
Michael Vick has been listed as probable and is expected to start when the Philadelphia Eagles host the New York Giants on Sunday.
Almost everyone believes Michael Vick will start at quarterback for the Eagles on Sunday, but Chip Kelly isn't ready to say it yet.
Many have said that the quarterback of the future for the Eagles is not currently on the roster. Nick Foles' performance against the Cowboys may have driven that point home even further. The official odds agree with the public sentiment.
The struggles on Sunday have once again sparked the debate on where the quarterback situation is heading in Philadelphia. Vick is certainly not going to be a part of the long-term equation as he ages and continues to show he cannot play a full season. The one name that pops up often is Texas A&M's Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Johnny Manziel. I am here to tell you to just stop considering that option, because it is not going to be worth it with a high draft pick.
While all signs point towards Michael Vick starting against the Giants on Sunday, the Eagles quarterback wasn't about to make any guarantees.
The quarterback wheel goes round and round, and will apparently land on Michael Vick on Sunday.
Short on healthy quarterbacks, the Eagles are bringing back a familiar face. Well, sort of familiar.
Most of the talk about the Eagles ugly, 17-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, has been about the quarterback. Nick Foles was by all accounts, terrible, missing receivers, and often times holding the ball far too long. Foles was inaccurate and ineffective.
With 6 down and a bunch to go, here's the way the NFL is shaping up.
Chip Kelly announces that Nick Foles has a concussion.
After Nick Foles' atrocious 11-29, 80 yard passing performance in Sunday's 17-3 Eagles loss to the Cowboys, the WIP Morning Show wanted to see if you have seen enough to count Foles out as the future Eagles starting quarterback.
This one stings. The Eagles offense folded against a Cowboys defense that was vulnerable and incapable of taking advantage of a nice game put in by the defense.
Let's have a moment of silence for the Quarterback Controversy Era. It was a fun two weeks.
If there was any debate as to who should be the Eagles' starting quarterback now, Nick Foles helped answer it on Sunday.
The distorted reflection the Eagles projected as an NFC East contender came thundering down in a dusty heap by the handicapped Dallas Cowboys in a woeful offensive performance that spelled a 17-3 Dallas victory.
Both teams are 3-3 and tied for first place in the NFC East entering Sunday's game at the Linc.
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.
Michael Vick and Nick Foles were side-by-side as the met with the media together on Thursday at the NovaCare Complex.
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.
