And thats not going to happen.
I predict about then we'll have some frequent fllyer miles to the playoffs.

[quote:] Regarding Vince Young...nice backup to Vick....since he is another mobile QB..Eagles seem to love those guys...all the way back to Randall Cunningham...if you think about it....it is historically the only formula that makes them win. [unquote]

The Eagles do seem to love the playground type QB's....Could that be one of the reasons why the big one has always seemed to elude them?

I'd say closer to two than three.

people think that all teams FU like we have. Its a 5 yr deal for only 25 mil. We signed them at age 30 to a 3 yr deal with the first yr worth about half that.

id take a 2-3 year window with 1/2 of their squad than a 20 year window with our squad.

sorry, but the eagles will be ridiculous this year. u can chalk up two losses for us already.

Yep the eagles are going to destroy us, remember last year on Monday night, wow.

I don't know why... but I don't see this going well in Philadelphia this year. They're certainly going to be the favorites in the division and probably the NFC... but we know better than anyone what winning the off season Super Bowl is like, and it never seems to work out... I think Andy Reid is starting to get a little bit desperate to win a Super Bow as I've heard he's thinking about retirement soon, so like others have said, they may be going all in for 2 years...

Have they even addressed their OL issues from last year besides their 1st round pick? That line was horrible to say the least, and a primary reason Kolb looked like garbage at the beginning of the year. I have a feeling they are doing exactly the same thing the Cowboys did. Load up on skills positions and fall hard due to OL issues.

[Ruhskins]

I wonder if Andy Reid will hire someone to manage the clock for him.

Eagles are really making a big push for Reid in his final contract year it seems. The irony of all this is you could argue this began when McNabb convinced Vick and Reid they'd be a good fit together (or was convinced...or was convinced to convince them). Anyhow, now after the success the two had together last year guys are willing to forgo money to play with Vick and for Reid...while McNabb is two teams away from the Eagles already

If Reid is gone can you see Vick back in Philly? Who would be favorite to coach? Fisher? Gets to make decision on VY.. Castillo? Jk

Yes. And of course DMac likely had no idea that things would work out this way. He likely was just charitably looking out for Vick. So the story is another example where no good deed goes unpunished.

Let them over pay of an injury prone 30 year old DE.

I have to disagree. Unlike us they have not spent stupid money to get these people and from what I have heard they can dump most of these signings after the first year without a big hit. Our free agent signings have mostly been bad because of the stupid money we gave them.
