I think it will be close but have a feeling the Ravens will win (On the positive side everytime i think we will lose we usually win )

I have a feeling we'll be seeing Nick Foles at some point today. Vick should have thought about being the old Mike Vick next week. The Ravens def isn't what it once was but there still good. 24-17 Ravens i'm thinking but i wouldn't be shocked if we won either.

Pretty impressive win. Besides the TOs, of course, I thought the team played great. Lot of heart and a great game for Vick. Glad I was wrong this week.
Next week will get beat in the 4th quarter because Kolb will tell his D all the plays that we still probably haven't changed.

thoughts on today before i head down to the linc....
people tend to overreact to week 1 results in the nfl. the ravens are pretty damn good football team but they are coming off a short week, tend to lose week 2 a lot, and have the pats to look forward to next week. vick certainly is not a great passer, but he's not nearly as bad as last week (of course we all know the play calling didn't help him). not having a preseason played a factor too.
both teams are vegas favorites to make deep runs in the post season. birds are at home. add all this up, that is why the line is what it is.
when reid gets overly drunk with the passing game, he usually gets back on the wagon and reigns it in... for at least a week or two before going on another bender. i think we will see some more balance today. need to see some more 3 step drops to just prevent vick from wanting to hold onto the ball too long. bengals had good success with screens on monday. we barely used them last week. look for this today. and they gotta mix in the long ball with djack and maclin to open up running lanes for shhhhhhhhhhhhady. also--i've ready multiple stuff this week about the birds completely trying something new...no huddle? sal pal was hinting that might be the reason for the closed practices this week. we'll see.
i'm really concerned about ngata going up against the fireman all day.
really interested to see how the defense does against a legit nfl offense. one who operates out of the no huddle a lot too. i don't think we can make a real judgement from what we saw last week. let's go juuuuuuan. he's a defensive guy.
i think the birds can win. i don't think they will. andy reid's record vs afc playoff teams (which the ravens should be) is 2-15. that is not a typo. i'm saying 27-20 ravens. hope i'm wrong.
GO BIRDS!!!!!
more balanced attack....check
no huddle....check
balanced attack leading to much improved play by vick...check
2nd 4th quarter come back in a row....check
an impressive performance by the defense against a quality opponent...check
ugly game but a good win against a good team none the less.
losing kelce for a significant amount of time is obviously going to hurt them. let's hope it's not as bad as we think it is.
ravens inexplicably got away from the run game in the 2nd half and it bit them in the ass. teams must have switched offensive play books at half time. fine by me!
the arizona kolbers next week. please don't do the typical eagles thing and lose a game you should win after winning a game you should lose. this has trap written all over it.
I wonder how many times a team has won its first two games of the season by one point each.
I hate playing the Cardinals. They're the Eagles' equivalent of playing the Astros. :evil:

definitely wouldn't call it a great game for vick. it was a typical vick performance...make some unorthodox plays (that maclin TD was a pretty shitty throw considering how wide open he was), miss some easy plays, hold ball too long, unnecessarily run around, turn ball over.
overall that was a great game though. outside of the QB I really like this eagles squad. even desean strapped a pair on for this one
somehow 2-0. hopefully they can keep it going vs the cards

you need to give credit where credit is due once in a while or you lose credibility. dude completed 72% of his passes, threw for 371 yards, and accounted for 2 touchdowns including the game winning drive for the 2nd week in row....all with two fifths of his o line down with injury. he was terrible last week, but pretty solid yesterday. without him, i don't think they win and that is really the bottom line.
reid and marty called a great balanced game and it did wonders for the qb. he's not arron rogers. he shouldn't be required to drop back and pass 55+ times a game.

I can't see Lurie allowing Chad to play here. He took a big enough PR hit with Vick.
Kelce is on IR for the year. That sucks but every team loses a few guys a year and overcomes it. Just look at the Packers and Giants from the last 2 years.
Alright, alright, alright!

We need a guy like #58. He was all over the place and basically took that game over. We don't have a player like that. We have some very good D players but no one a team has to key on. Kendricks got schooled yesterday by some veteran TE's. Did we blitz any DB's throughout the game? I didn't notice but it could've happened while I was throwing up from the play calling. A "D" turnover would've been nice. I hope the Dawkins ceremony game turns out better than Reggie's.

I was at the game yesterday. I'm neither a Eagle or Cards fan, but a buddy had an extra ticket so I decided why not?
Lots of Eagle fans there. Was pretty surprised how much green was spotted in the ocean of red.
What seemed clear to me as a non-fan and outside observer of that game outside of the fact that they were just out played...
Vick had so many terrible reads. Yeah, I know it's easy to see from the stands, but I was amazed at how long he held on to the ball. He had guys open on check downs on almost every play he was scrambling. He missed a number of one on one matchups as well. D. Jackson looked as if he couldn't give a shit about the game. For a guy who is as fast as he is, it was crazy to see him almost jogging on routes and never making an attempt to help Vick out when he was scrambling. It seemed like he felt the play was over so he'd just rely on Vick to come up with something. Someone really needs to put a boot up that guy's ass! For as much money as he's making to put forth that kind of effort?!?! If I was an Eagles fan I'd be PISSED!
Anyways...I was hoping and thought the game would have been a lot closer. Either way, I had a good time.
