Random Observations in Eagles Horrific Loss to Patriots
Posted on 28. Nov, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Many people probably put this game down as a loss when they tried to predict the Eagles schedule in the beginning of the year. What they probably didn’t predict is that they’d enter that game with a record of 4-6. It’s been a very rough season and yesterday was a very rough game. Here are [...]

Throughout the Season, Eagles Have Lacked a Killer Instinct
Posted on 15. Nov, 2011 by Mike Burke.
8-1. That would be the Eagles record if games stopped after three quarters. Unfortunately, they don’t and if they did they wouldn’t call them quarters. That’s not the point though. The point is that the Eagles are 3-6 right now and can’t finish what they start. You have to question why, but it can’t be [...]

Evaluating Michael Vick’s Performance Against the Cowboys
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. Without a question, this was by far Vick’s best game of the season. Statistically, he completed 75% of his passes, while [...]
