Why Your Team Sucks: Philadelphia Eagles

[mix]

3. Their active roster might be fucked up. Peter King made a good point today. Stunning, but true. If the Eagles want to use Michael Vick in the WildDog formation this fall, they have to either make him the true backup QB, or they have to have four quarterbacks on their active game day roster. All game day rosters are allowed one extra slot for an emergency third-string QB. Once the third stringer comes in, the two QB's ahead of him can't retake the field. So if the Eagles want to play Vick but want to keep Kevin Kolb as the backup (not that it would be a tragedy if Kolb were demoted), then they'd have to carry four QB's on the roster and drop a possibly important special teamer or kicking specialist. It's one of those little details that always ends up fucking a team. And with Reid in charge, those little details are often glanced over, not unlike a smack rig stashed in the upstairs toilet tank.

1. My prediction: The Wildcat/Dog will surprise very few this year.

5. You lost me at "Peter King made a good point".

6. The problem is, that this is a "giant's" blogger paraphrasing what

Peter King (not the congressman-rethug from NY) is saying.

7. Gotcha. Didn't realize it was a Giants fan distorting dimwits views...

...sounds like six degrees of bacon.

8. In Andy's "defense"...

He works a lot and there's all sorts of things that can go on, or be stashed in one's house when they're not home. BUT, Andy had his guys running down the clock for a fuckin' "2nd overtime" against the Bungles because he didn't know a game could end it a tie. A much better example of a "little detail" that snuck past Reid. How the fuck can you be a head coach, assemble a coaching staff of other professionals, and not have a single guy on the sidelines know this. Hell, Brian Dawkins PLAYED in a tie game before, but apparently it was still news to him that there was no second overtime.
