Mike Vicks brother, Marcus is on the most epic, weed induced, heavy drinking Twitter rant tonight. I'll try and get a link. Too many to quotes to post.
He's very well spoken.
Thanks. I have no idea how to tell if it's really him. It sure reads like Marcus Vick though.
New Orleans still scares the heck out of me because of how they can move the ball and score points. I was not surprised at all that they beat the Eagles. That team is in a serious tailspin and along with Dallas they have to be the most disappointing team in the league.

Vick drops his head?!?!?! WTF is a d-lineman supposed to do?
This. What a farce. Too bad that won't work for Rodgers. But seriously, how the hell is someone supposed to tackle a player these days?
For all the grief people give the arena league, I've seen harder hits in there that weren't called penalties. Good grief. It isn't even fun to watch anymore unless the Packers are playing--and even then it is hard to stomach some of these bogus calls.

That was five minutes I wish I had back. Is that marcus vick or mongo?
My favorite: "they smoking mirrors to me".
Nice red zone production by Vick and company.
5 Possessions, 0 TD, 2 FG, 2 TO, 1 loss on downs. 6 points.
As a Packer fan I would expect 27 points out of those 5 red zone possessions - 3 TD's and 2 FG.

New Orleans's defense is on pace to shatter all of the bad marks the Packers set last year, only without the huge number of takeaways. When that's the best Vick can do against that rotten unit, his days as an NFL starter are numbered.
A lot of Vick's "problems" have to do with a putrid offensive line. They are beyond horrible up front.
Was Vick running for his life last night? Yes. Does the Eagles OL stink? Yes. Did Vick make some horrible throws when he did have time? Yes.
Did Reid dial up 41 pass attempts and 23 rushing plays even though his two backs ran for almost 180 yards last night? Yes. The Eagles ran for 220 yards when you include Vicks 53 yards on 6 carries. McCoy had 100 yards in the 1st half alone.
But instead of leaning on what was working he kept asking a shaky QB try and make plays in front of constant pressure.
5 Red Zone trips:
1st - 2 plays. 1 Run. 1 Pass. Pick 6.
2nd - 3 plays. 1 run. 2 incomplete passes. FG
3rd - 3 plays. 3 passes. 2 incomplete and 1 sack. FG
4th - 7 plays. 1 run. 6 passes. 1 pass completed. Fumble.
5th - 3 plays. 3 passes. All incomplete. (althought this was trash time)
That's Andy Reid refusing to see what was unfolding right in front of him.

Ya think Reid makes it through the season with a job?
The Eagles just extended their GM, Howie Roseman
So it won't be a complete housecleaning, but I suspect Reid is done before the season is over

Although it is fun watching King Dunlap, all 6'10" of him. Every other player looks like a small boy next to him, especially when they are running by him on the way to Vick.

Yes... really makes no sense to fire a guy during the season unless he is insubordinate some how. Terrible move by the Eagles to go with Vick.
Andy's going to make it through the season. He should have never fired Castillo while playing up "we're making changes" and then leaving Vick in at QB though. Then again he never should have never made Castillo D coordinator in the first place. Vick has personally accounted for 15 of the teams 20 turnovers.
I couldn't decide if the look on Andy's face over the final 2 minutes last night was "why am I putting myself through this" or "12pc bucket, extra crispy tonight!"

I think Andy and Marty Mornhinweg are eating at the same buffet.
