What to make of the Eagles?

Welcome, Philadelphia Eagles fans.

What do we know about the 2012 Philadephia Eagles?  On the plus side for them, they're coming off a solid win against the New York Giants.  

Philadelphia's defense is good, very good, with a high-pressure pass rush and a tight-covering, ball-hawking secondary.  Edge: Eagles.

Their top running back, LeSean "Shady" McCoy is also very effective.  Their special teams are well-coached (Bobby April), so they may have an edge over the Steelers in that department.

Coda is watching.

On the negative side, however, their "field general" remains the over-hyped, over-rated Michael "Dog Killer" Vick, who is a convicted felon attempting to impersonate an NFL quarterback.

Setting aside the fact that Vick, at 32 years of age, is  still not a consistently good quarterback, Vick retains the image of a reptilean cretin; a slimy, self-centered, remorseless, loathsome blockhead without conscience; and an overpaid whiner.  

More relevant to Sunday's game at Heinz Field is this:  After approximately 10 years in the NFL and nearly two years in the federal prison system, Vick is simply not a particularly good quarterback.  Which is worse?  His inaccurate passing?  Or, the fact that he is skittish, brittle and turnover-prone?  Yeah.

What?  For Vick, you expected roses, bon-bons and bon mots from a blog named Joey Porter's Pit Bulls?
