Michael Vick of Philaelphia Eagles leaves after breaking right hand - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7019207/michael-vick-philaelphia-eagles-leaves-breaking-right-hand)
"Looking at the replays, I'm on the ground every time, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't frustrated," Vick said in his postgame news conference. "The refs have got to do their jobs. And I mentioned it to the refs in training camp when I talked to them. I'm on the ground constantly, all the time. Every time I throw the ball, I'm on the ground. And I don't know why I don't get the 15-yard flags like everybody else does."
That's right Vick, rip the refs. They'll surely listen to you now. And I'm sure the lack of flags has something to do with the fact that Vick is not your normal qb.

The Eagles being 1-2 just doesn't surprise me. You can't buy team chemistry and they have none...at least on defense. They can't stop the run. Cullen Jenkins and Babin haven't done anything. And the last two weeks their corners have looked average. Plus they have their o-line coach running the defense. To me they really miss Jim Johnson and since he's passed their defense just hasn't been the same.

I saw the hit that gave Vick his broken hand and honestly that's a typical play in the NFL. If it was blatantly late I'd support his argument but come on, he had just gotten rid of the ball. There was nothing late about it, and clearly Vick is just pissed that that his offensive line can't protect him.

Through the first three games, I don't see anything special about the Eagles secondary either. None of them. Lots of arm tackles, blown coverages, and deep throws.

These late games are a bust except for Oakland-New York. Washington-Dallas is the next interesting game.

Their corners are straight. It's their line backers and safety positions that are lacking a bit. LBs are the guys that end up getting the tackles which is exactly why people can run on the Eagles. Whoever came up with the brilliant idea of making the OL the defensive coordinator is probably going to be looking a job next year. (bye Reid)

That running game with Run DMC is ridiculous.
Fun fact - McFadden is averaging twice as many yards per rushing attempt then Campbell is per pass attempt. (10.3 to 5.1)
