They got 2 lucky plays and scored 10 points on offense, it’s gonna be a cake walk game.

I don’t think Vick is a good QB, sorry, he is a good athlete, but has never been a good QB, I don’t expect him to become one now. And his only 4 years younger than McNabb. Ironically, he is only 3 years older than Kolb, so I guess age isn’t too much of an issue with Vick though.

I need to know if Kolb is any good, if not, we need to extend McNabb, I’m fine with Kolb as a backup.

gonna be afforded the appropriate opportunity to be a starter. He has got to take advantage of his moments. This is his moment, I know that most QB are given a grace period. But Kolb doesn’t have that. He’s gotta play well, not perfect, but good enough to see progress. He can’t be flat and be a turn over machine. He is competing for a starting QB position with McNabb, arguably the best QB in Philly history. Thats a rough gig. He he falters, Eagles fans will call for another Back up like Garcia. I hate that the fans don’t give Kolb a chance. He may be a really good QB (which I think he is), or he can be an average backup. Unfortunately for him, he’s got Vick breathing down his neck as well.

Some players never get a shot, imagine if Bledsoe would have never gotten hurt, Brady would have been a career back up, if even that. He got his 1 shot to prove it, and he did. Kolb is on that same boat.

Most of the Lions points came thanks to turnovers or a short field. Only one score came off a drive that started deep in NO territory and even that one was extended thanks to a bogus unnecessary roughness call (would have been a field goal instead of TD). 231 total yards is not that much to give up and when Calvin Johnson is the opposing WR, you’re gonna give up some yardage in the air regardless of who is throwing him the ball.

I watched the game. Their D looked light years better than last year. Even if it is mostly the same players, they made a couple upgrades in the secondary and they are using a much better scheme. I don’t think they are a pushover D any longer. They are certainly beatable, but with their offense, they only need a D that can stop the run early (which they can) and stop a few drives a game (which they can). Last year they couldn’t stop anybody because their starting FS (Josh Bullocks) was so bad they would have been better off starting 10 guys on defense. Kaesviharn wasn’t much better (and he was injured anyway). Darren Sharper is a big, big step up there. Jason David was a terrible CB and Tracy Porter should have started much sooner than he did. McKenzie wasn’t a terrible corner, but he wasn’t great either. Jabari Greer is a step up there too. The D-line underachieved last year. If they play like they should, they would be a good line. All-in-all I think this will be an OK defense in general, but relative to what the Saints offense needs, it will be great.

Not a pushover D…that’s funny.

If Smith and Grant are suspended, we shouldn’t have too much trouble. But that isn’t a guarantee so far. They were originally supposed to be suspended starting yesterday, but they weren’t. I’m not saying they are a good defense, but they are definitely better than last year and they have a much better scheme. The two worst players on the D were in the secondary and both players have been replaced by capable players. These guys might not start on an Eagles D, but they aren’t terrible players either. They really did play with a different attitude and I don’t think we should be so cocky as to assume we will blow them out of the water. Especially since 1) if McNabb plays hurt he could be less than effective and 2) if it’s Kolb, we aren’t really sure what he can do yet. And considering what their offense is capable of, their defense might only need one or two stops. I know it was the Lions D, but Brees was incredible. I don’t care who’s in the secondary, his passes are gonna find their mark.

I’m confident we can win, but this is not gonna be some cakewalk. You will all be in for a rude awakening if you’re not expecting a shootout.

But I can guarantee you, we do not cut any WRs. That is a bargaining chip for Andy.

I have a hard time cutting a player for 1 week. Knowing Andy, he may decide to go into the game with just Kolb and McNabb. I’m just saying, Andy is wierd like that.

McNabb can play if in desperate situation. If we sign Feeley, its only for a week.
