On Sunday night,the Eagles will retire the number belonging to the legendary Brian Dawkins. He is the best free safety if Eagles franchise history and a fan favorite of many. The only thing that could ruin this historic night is if the Eagles come out and play the way they did a couple years ago when they retired Reggie White's number. They got blownout by Seattle in a primetime game just like tonight's game is. Michael Vick has to wake up and play to his potential or he will not be the starting quarterback for long. Many fans, including myself, believe that we have to go to Foles if Vick continues to turn the ball over. Michael Vick has turned the ball over (9) more than any other team on the league. The Eagles cannot sit back and watch this unravel any longer, they have too much talent and potential. This could very well be the biggest game of Michael Vick's career.

After a burtal start to the 2012 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles followed up their mediocre performance with a big win over won of the best teams in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens. Despite 4 more turnovers including 2 picks for Michael Vick, there were a lot more positives to take from this game than in week 1. The offense moved up and down the field almost at will against one of the most feared defenses in the league. If it wasn't for the 4 turnovers this one might not even have been close considering 3 of 4 came in the redzone. Another encouraging thing to see was another long game winning drive orchestrated by Michael Vick for the second week in a row. The defense also came up in a big way by shutting down Joe Flacco for almost the entire second half. They came up huge at the end of the game when Baltimore got the ball back with a chance to go down the field and kick a field goal to win the game. If the Eagles can eliminate the turnovers, there's no telling what they are capable of.
