Hopes are high for the 09' Eagles. With the acquisition of Michael Vick, the Eagles fans should expect some wild cat offense perhaps - if Vick doesn't amount to much then he wasn't worth the headache.
Vick could be a distraction and not worth the trouble. Until Vick does something on the field he isn't worth talking about. I think he has potential to get back to a stud QB, but it's going to take time and a lot of hard work.
The Eagles will have to worry about staying healthy all season. Donovan McNabb played all 16 games in 08' but has been injury prone the last 5 season or so.
Unfortunately, McNabb suffered an injury during the course of the game. Such has been the case on many occasions in recent years, as McNabb is often criticized for being prone to injury. While most injuries usually involve his knees, this time McNabb's ribs took their toll, as he cracked a rib during the game against the Panthers.
The Eagles have a good running game with Brain Westbrook and LeSean McCoy with average receivers. The Eagles never had a really number one receiver since Terrell Owens, that didn't end well as we all know.
The Eagles defense is doing fairly well holding their opponents to a limited amount of yards. The Eagles were torched against the New Orleans Saints for 48 points, thankfully the Eagles won't play the Saints offense every week.
Eagles fans are tired of being the brides maid and want to be the bride for once. The Eagles may not have too many opportunities left, McNabb is in his 30s and isn't getting any younger. In 08', McNabb started all 16 games, the first time since the 03' season.
The team should be lucky to have such an opponent in week 3, for a game they couldn't win would present serious challenges down the road. Will we see more of Michael Vick or will they continue with Kolb? I'd imagine Kolb continues as Vick's probably still a bit rusty. - 30542
