What happenned to the "NEW ANDY REID"?? SOS
I felt like Randy Quaid in Major League, screaming at Dawg Vick.
Next week against Ray Lewis, call the Coroner for Vick. His last game of the year.

While a win is a win it was more of the same old same old for the Eagles. Once again, Andy Reid has a game plan predicated on the pass and a horrible pass-run ratio. You would think with starting Vick who only took 12 snaps in the preseason that the game plan would use McCoy more; especially since he was effective early.

Same old Eagles. Turnovers, bad play calling, no discipline, If the line blocked like that against the Browns I expect Vick to be knocked out of the game midway through the 2nd quarter against a significantly better Ravens defense.

I was at huge game and it was worse than described. Add poor play calling to poor performance with exceptions as noted. The dawgs almost killed Vick, not the other way around. Fun being at the stadium, but a total disappointment. And against the BROWNS???

Sorry, was at the game (not huge in any way). Was clammoring for Foles by 3rd quarter. Pathetic.

This looked like the same old pathetic Philadelphia Eagles team under Andy Reid. Way too many mistakes by the offense.. Defense, however, did OK. I really think Andy should consider taking Vick out and using either of his backups. Perhaps the score would have been much higher and there would have been much fewer incompletes or turnovers. Eagles will have to play a whole lot better next Sunday, and from hereon in if they are to be this year's Super Bowl contenders.

The Eagles traditionally play down to the level of their opponent. Their performance should not have been a surprise to anyone.

If the Browns had any offence at all the blow out would have been against the Eagles! Tell me why Colt McCoy wasn't in there by the third quarter? Actually, both teams should have had backups in after halftime the way the starters performed.

as long as you have the reid & vick show their superbowl dreams will never happen.
a lot of other teams are improving and the Eagles are the same.13 years under the same coach but no superbowl victory.I'm hoping for a 8 & 8 season,cause lurie said that will be unacceptable.
what's the line on when vick will get injured and miss the rest of the season.

Why should this have been a blowout? Is this based on the game they played in the pre-season?? It is comments like these that get the Eagles and their fans in hot water.

As far as the game went, I agree it should have been a better performance. But it wasn't. There is now film on what they did wrong, what they did right and now need to do their homework and prepare for next week.

Monday morning quarterbacks yawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a Win is a Win!

Lurie had a chance to get rid of Reid at the end of last season and chose to take the easy way out and kept him. Reid has continued to be the same lack luster, poor decision maker he has always been. This will be another mediocre season, but as long as people keep paying to see this team nothing will change.

Not a good headline. They won so they deserve it. The Lansdale Patch better watch their words around here or people will start removing them. Lansdale bleeds green as much as Philly bleeds green. Give Vick a chance to get back into the swing of things. He's a good QB and if he doesn't turn it around we've got one hell of a back up.

WHO CARES!!!! The bEagles don't - why should you!

People crack me up...If they had lost people would be counting them out for the rest of the season and it is only the first game. They win and people still seem to have no faith in the team. Yes, Vick looked rusty and I would have liked to have seen Foles put in but we all know that Reid was not going to do that. The defense did their job and held the Browns. They won the game, that is all that matters!!! I for one would rather be 1-0 than 0-1...Go Eagles!

I turned it off when it was 10 t0 9. Why spend all that time watching a boring game. I have to agreegood season. with John's comment, they do play down to their comp. Get Grudden and bring in Foles and then they'll have a good season.

Andy reid couldn't have scripted this game any better. Baltimore Ravens will look at this game, let their guard down and get their asses wiped. --- Wow, I just had the most amazing dream!

A few observations:

1) A win is a win, no matter how ugly. The Eagles played well enough to win, as is reflected by the final score.

2) Regarding penalties, there were at least three or four tick-tack holding calls against the Eagles that negated runs by McCoy and ended drives. Real refs would never call those penalties, especially when they occur on the other side of the field and away from the play (Maclin "holding", anyone?).

You can call holding on every play in the NFL, but professional refs know when to let things slide and when to toss the flag. The replacement refs have obviously not learned that lesson.

3) Vick was rusty, period. Lots of people are blaming the o-line, but outside of a few bad plays, Vick was simply holding onto the ball too long. Watch his feet. During his 3-5-7 step drops, he was planting his feet, but was slow on his reads. He then got happy feet, which more than likely lead to a few of the interceptions.

On the bright side, Vick is a pro, and considering he only took 12 snaps in the preseason, he didn't look THAT bad. With a full game under his belt, expect him to rebound next week.

4) The defense looked GREAT! They played the pass well, and they held a good running back to nearly two yards per carry.

5) If you look at Cleveland's roster, from coaches to players, there are many former Eagles. They know Reid's system. They know his tendencies, and they have familiarity with many of the players on the Philadelphia squad.

At least we can stop talking about how bad the secondary and linebackers will be, right?

the Eagles don't deserve this victory? They played just as well (or bad) as the Browns and the Eagles won. What do you think they're going to do...give it back? No matter how good or how bad they play each week, if they win, its a win whether by 1 point or a hundred.

Horrible headline who are you people

Shush it now. Everyone always got something negative to say only after the 1st game. He was out the whole pre-season and this is his 1st game coming back. If you all can do such a better job why are you sitting at the other end of the screen. Back-up QB did great but don't let that fool you either. Can they play a couple more games before you judge, lol.

Goooo Facoons!

GO BIRDS!

Lot of people drinking the kool aide the green variety , we shall see in December

Will the Eagles fail to cover the spread again?

Maybe the Eagles will follow last year's record at covering the point spread.

1960...people who are 52 years old have never seen a championship. People who are in their 60's vaguely remember. Why anyone invests their hopes and dreams in this franchise is beyond me? We should not have to talk about football championships in terms of centuries in this city. Its pathetic.

Umm...call me crazy but winning a championship is supposed to be the goal right? I think waiting 52 years and still filling a stadium every Sunday without a championship makes us all pretty good fans. We reserve the right to complain after watching our division rivals the Giants win 4 super bowls, the Cowboys have won 5 and the Redskins have won 3 in that same time span. The eagles...a huge goose egg. So yeah...I love my hometown team but I can be critical too. They deserve criticism.

You can boil it down to this ... Yes, it was a butt ugly win. But it looks like a solid W in the standings nonetheless. As good as the defense looked against an admittedly weak offense, the Eagles could have killed the Browns by simply limiting the amazing number of mistakes they made. The real key as the season unfolds will be whether the offense can hold it together enough to give the defense a chance to win a few more games.

And let's not forget those replacement refs ... Well, maybe we should forget them.

probally one of the ulgiest wins we ever had. just think if were already doing this bad just think how bad we will be if Vick gets injured, after that we will be in HUGE trouble, it still shocks me that some people beleive that the eagles have a chance of making it to the supper bowl, we need to rethink our stragdies and call better plays if we even want a chance at the playoffs, as of now i dont think we have a chance. looks like one bad season after another. one last thing dont get all hyped up that we were 4-0 in the pre season tht just means bad luck to some people ( remember the lions in 2008 ). looks like we canolny hope for the best.

How can anyone say it was an ugly win? If you want see something ugly take a look at Joan Rivers, Chelsea Clinton, and Howard Stern? lol.

A win is a win! Gotta love them Eagles!

I could care less if it's an ugly win. Any day that the Birds pull it out is a happy day for me

It's nice to support the Eagles by paying for "their" stadium every time I use a Delaware River Port Authority bridge, and pay PA income taxes.

And it goes without saying. To quote Andy Reid, "We have to do better",,,"We have to do better",,,"We have to do better",,,Maybe this time they will.?? It's only the first game. That being said, the back up quarterbacks are much more exciting to watch!

The Eagles will NEVER win the Super Bowl with Mike Vick at QB and Andy as head coach. Period. Vick is a duck and chuck QB who can't read a defense pre snap nor find secondary receivers unless he is running for his life. Reid refuses to run the ball and has proven to be below average when it comes to in game adjustments and time management. These are not opinions. These are facts. Our best chance will come in 2013 when Foles is the QB and a new coach (maybe Jon Gruden) is on the sidelines. Until then, look for more of the same...

That said, I like them this week. Vegas making them 3 point favorites after what happened last week tells me to take the Birds as it looks way too easy to take the Ravens +3.
