Even if Vick does play at a much improved level, it seems impossible to think he would suddenly turn into a guy who doesn't miss any time. Even the Falcons had a developing Schaub behind him.

What kind of return would Kolb have to bring to make him worth giving up? Something like McNabb brought, at least, I would think. And who would do that in the same year that McNabb set the market?

So I'm guessing you would have gone back to Kolb?

Do you think this was really Reid's call? I'm kinda thinking it wasn't. Along the lines of dealing away #5.

2 years' rest or 2 years' setback from being out of the game? Could go either way.

We'll find out soon...the Lions aren't a big test.

I'm thinking it was what they'll get from Vick...AND an upgrade over Kolb.

Maybe we bring Kolb here to back up #5?

When he's humiliated 3 years from now and Sexy Rexy retires after getting his ring.

If Kolb gets traded, Kolb will feel like that average-looking chick who thought she found a character guy(she's known him for many years) to marry only to find out he's been banging a hot girl the week before they are wed.

THE ABOVE STATEMENT DOES NOT APPLY IF REID IS NOT TRYING TO TRADE HIM.

Kolb tossed his 300+ yard games against New Orleans and Kansas City, defenses that were soft against the pass.

Eagles' O-line is in shambles. Vick helps them out because the rushers won't go hyper-aggressive on him.

It was obvious the decision came from above reid since the decision to start Vick came so quickly.

Who woulda thunk the McNabb trade would open the door for Michael the Vick Experience?

I have no clue on how our d is going to contain him next week. None at all.

They won't contain him if they couldn't contain Sam Bradford

Plus Vick's receivers are far more explosive than Bradford's. It could be a very long day.

When I looked at the schedule in the summer I actually thought the Eagles woul be 1-2 and the Skins would be 3-0 heading into that 10/3/10 matchup.

In the next three games I am less scared of Vick and more scared of Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning. The next three games should be brutal for our reeling secondary.

SouperMeister · 09-26-2010, 08:09 PM

Andy Reid caught lightning in a bottle. Vick is playing like a top-5 QB. I dread facing him with our pathetic D.

chewman · 09-26-2010, 09:44 PM

We are screwed. Man it sucks to be a skins fan.

We always play good in Philly. They really aren't that good. Funny thing is, if we win we are #1 in the East....lol
