Andy wants Vick to start final game vs. Giants...and Jimmy Kempski breaks down a breakdown...

Found December 26, 2012 on Eagles Eye:
PLAYERS: Andy Reid,  Michael Vick,  Trent Edwards,  Bill Belichick,  Mike Tomlin,  Tony Dungy,  Sean Payton,  Alfred Morris,  Phillip Hunt,  Cedric Thornton,  Derek Landri,  Vinny Curry,  DeMeco Ryans,  Mychal Kendricks,  Colt Anderson,  Kurt Coleman,  Maurice Hurt,  Chris Chester,  Kory Lichtensteiger,  Logan Paulsen,  Will Montgomery,  Trent Williams,  Santana Moss,  Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  New England Patriots,  Pittsburgh Steelers,  New Orleans Saints,  Washington Redskins

New York (8-7) is still alive in the playoff mathematics, but only by the slimmest of algebraic margins. Meanwhile, this is the ultimate U-Haul game for the Birds.           I want to be respectful to Mr. Reid this week.  He's at the end of an epic run with the Eagles. But I don't get the decision to start Vick... Is he trying to give Vick some bonus game tape to sell to the rest of the league? If so, why? The rest of the league already knows what they would get with signing the erratic veteran Vick. Why not showcase Trent Edwards as a rehab project instead? That said, let's give Andy Reid his due. As it is, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg believes that his boss will be enshrined in Canton. "Andy's got Hall-of-Fame numbers, an...

As if we needed another reason to hate the Eagles

There is nothing likable about the Philadelphia Eagles. Well, except maybe Andy Reid. I mean, the guy is a walking talking walrus who seems to be a pretty decent dude. But he is about to make an exit stage left, and that means there really isn’t a darn thing to like about that organization. They [...]

How Eagles of Them!

Via Chicks in the Huddle  |  December 24, 2012
Eagles v. Redskins, Sunday, December 23, 2012 I was in two minds about this game. On the one hand, it’s clear this was Andy Reid’s last home game, and I was hoping the team could send him on his way with a win. On the other hand, top 5 pick! And on the third hand, if I may borrow one of yours, of the remaining choices to win the division, I’d most like to see it go to...
