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.
Things did not start off well but the Eagles put together the so-called full team effort. The offense started slowly but ended up having a really good game. The defense took their lumps but got past them to do their part as well.
Nick Foles' third touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter sealed what had been a taut game in an Eagles' 31-20 victory over the winless Buccaneers on Sunday.
The 94WIP Morning Show named their Winners and Weasels for the week of October 11th, 2013.
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.
Vick was limited in practices all week, but head coach Chip Kelly has decided to hold off on making a call on his starting quarterback. It is likely Nick Foles will get the start against the Bucs, after replacing the injured Vick in the win over the Giants.
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.
Mike Vick is listed as day-to-day, the team confirmed Monday, but having an option like Foles ready to go shows why the Eagles did not feel a need to make any trades during the preseason involving the loser of the quarterback competition.
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."
The Eagles should not get too carried away with picking up their second win in a game that saw the Giants drop to 0-5 on the season, but the defense made plays, special teams did their part and Nick Foles proved why the Eagles felt a need to keep him on the roster despite using Mike Vick as the starter.
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 bad news is each loss seems to have gotten worse by the week for the Philadelphia Eagles. The good news is it cannot get much worse than their 52-20 loss against the Denver Broncos. Can it?
Coach Chip Kelly talked to both quarterbacks Monday morning and informed them of his decision. For Vick, the decision served as a validation for his decision to remain with the Eagles this season.
Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said Michael Vick will be the team's starter for the regular season opener against the Redskins.
When Chip Kelly showed up, Michael Vick stuck around, and the rejuvenated QB has never looked better than he has in the first two preseason games.
Nick Foles or Michael Vick? It's the question we have been asking for months now. Well, last night, we may have finally gotten our answer.
This is the part of the Eagles preseason that is usually pretty tough to get through. It's like coming down off of a caffeine high. When training camp starts, everyone is so fired up. Then there's the first preseason game, and everyone's fired up. And then we have to wait an entire month through terrible football and lesser storylines until we get an actual game.
After one preseason game we are really no closer to projecting a winner in the quarterback competition.
A new coach, a new system, a new attitude, a new excitement. It didn't matter. One of the most anticipated preseason games in over a decade for the Eagles resulted in a carryover of the same old problems.
So it begins tonight. The great experiment on whether Chip Kelly is as adept to getting an NFL team to think and react like him as he did college programs. We'll get to see the visionary's lab work out in the open, as the arduous process starts in getting the Eagles back on track again.
