Posted on 31. Oct, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Michael Vick has struggled this season. I think it’s pretty fair to say that. However, when the Eagles needed him most, in a must win divisional game against the Cowboys, Vick brought his A-game.

There’s no denying the fact that the majority of the Eagles struggles have come on the defensive side of the ball this year. The offense hasn’t been stellar, but the defense has been far worse.

Posted on 25. Sep, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Let me preface this whole piece by saying that I’ve never been this upset by an Eagles loss in a long time. Last week was the kind of game that I could have seen the Eagles losing and I wouldn’t have been super upset. This game is the opposite. I’ve spoken to people on the [...]
