Posted on 31. Oct, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Another week in the books, and the story remains the same. Michael Vick continues to play poorly but Andy Reid is sticking with him. Even with the team’s struggles, SportsBetting.ag shows the Eagles as just three point underdogs on the road in New Orleans in the always hostile Superdome. The Saints have shown some struggles [...]

Michael Vick’s Turnovers Continue to Hurt Eagles
Posted on 08. Oct, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Another Eagles game is in the books, and so is another close outcome. However, the Eagles ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard this game. For the first time this season, the Eagles came into the game as an underdog. Despite being the dogs, I still felt this was a very winnable game [...]

Thoughts on Eagles After First Two Games
Posted on 17. Sep, 2012 by Mike Burke.
After an interesting preseason, the Eagles first two games looked like a cake walk and then a tough match-up with a team that many believe will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. The cake walk didn’t exactly go as planned but the tough game ended up as advertised. In two short weeks, we’ve learned [...]

In Andy We Trust For Quarterback Situation?
Posted on 21. Aug, 2012 by Mike Burke.
There are still two preseason games to be played, but there are already some legitimate concerns about the Eagles quarterback position this year. Michael Vick has played a total of 12 snaps in two games and has left each of them with an injury. He’s injured his thumb on Jason Kelce’s helmet and took a [...]

Thoughts on Eagles Second Preseason Game with Patriots
Posted on 21. Aug, 2012 by Mike Burke.
For the second preseason game in a row, Michael Vick’s night was ended after six snaps. This time around, Vick took a hard shot to the ribs while trying to scramble away from a defender. The good news is that x-rays turned out to be negative so it looks like he’ll only be experiencing some [...]

Thoughts on Eagles 24-23 Win to Steelers
Posted on 09. Aug, 2012 by Mike Burke.
Well, we have one preseason game in the books. It was a pretty standard preseason game with ups and downs throughout the game. Some players impressed, some didn’t. In any preseason game, you have to take everything with a grain of salt. We see vanilla offenses and some guys who you know will make the [...]

Evaluating Michael Vick’s Performance Against the Dolphins
Posted on 11. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Earlier this week, I wrote that Eagles quarterback Michael Vick needed to have a bounce back against the Dolphins. He didn’t have the kind of game I’d hoped for, but he did walk away with the win. One thing I didn’t take into consideration when talking about Vick having a good game was the play [...]

Michael Vick Needs a Bounce Back Game Against the Dolphins
Posted on 08. Dec, 2011 by Mike Burke.
Last season, we saw two different Michael Vick’s. We saw the Vick that can play like superman, and we saw the Vick that doesn’t make smart decisions with the football. The Eagles had a choice to make at the quarterback position in the offseason, and I think they handled it the right way. Unfortunately, we’re [...]
