the eagles out thought themselves; they completely blew up a team and tried to reconstitute one in less than two years and remain a playoff competitor. vick as talented as he is in still only two seasons into this offense, he has never been a playbook qb, he's a playmaker, kolb would have had 6 seasons reading that playbook, thats a vast amount of experience gapped. im not a kolb fan but for the talent level on the outside and rb, his style would have been a better fit. the eagles bought too many players in at the same time at critical positions and expected there to be be no drop off. what vick and the eagles offense need to run is a no huddle offense, let vick and the speed of the offense be a variable that it hasn't been.
i still think the eagles have a chance to make a run vick just has to take some of the pressure off his shoulder, and realize that its a game, have fun, play and play to win. i've learned that we have to appreciate the pressure we face, because thats how much potential our actions can inversely reward us with; he has to embrace this moment, this is the defining moment in his career, show the world what you can do!

The problem with this team is what it has always been, and always will be, under the present coaching regime: They're too small, too weak, and too soft.

As if there is only ONE real problem.


coaching
play-calling
poor QB play
injuries (OL)
poor drafting
etc.

True....and the only thing I'd add is "especially from the top down".
