    Regardless if its Tampa, foles played great. Tampa still has a top defense let's not forget. Chip made adjustments which was also a breathe of fresh air to see.

    Defense gonna need some turnovers next week to have any chance. They are going to get scored on a lot by Dallas, but if they can get a couple key picks or fumbles ... who knows.

    Well fortunately Romo still plays for the Cowboys so the Eagles defense is going to have a great day.

    They both do different things at QB. Like I said, let's see Chip call this sort of game for Vick ... he hasn't necessarily given him the best game plans to work with. Foles was granted the best Chip called game of the season.
    C'mon man!

    If it was Vick back there getting hit/hurried a dozen times, you know what that's going to be. 2 crazy highlights for ESPN, a couple big sacks, and probably a couple turnovers. Foles played like a stud!

    The team won't let Foles be the starter because he is a whitey. Doesn't matter who is better, can't let a whitey take Vick's job. Teammates are probably already talking shit because Riley Cooper had over 100 yards and a TD.

    Kermit makes a very good point Michael Vick controls the locker room although foles has to start against Dallas

    The decision is easy because Vic will not be 100%

    It's a good set-up to start Foles. You give Vick another week to get fully healthy. You're playing @ home. I still will be surprised if he keeps Foles as the starter when Vick is healthy. Doing that admits you are a shitty judge of talent because you gave Vick the nod based on what you saw in the preseason/practice. Although certainly if he is the best person for your offense now, it's your job to know that as well I suppose.

    I still think Foles looking good is a small product of Chip calling a better game plan as well. He obviously played well and made smart decisions mostly, but Chip put him in good positions. Vick hasn't always been afforded the best play calling at times.

    When Vick is healthy again they will use Vick for 1st downs and Foles for 2nd and 3rd downs just like they do in college with a two QB sets. It will be revolutionary for the NFL but it can work.

    Chippy said this AM on his weekly radio interview that yesterday's play calling was much better than when Vick played the 1st 3 games
    At least he admitted it

    Not sure what he means. Isn't the play calling called from upstairs to the QB's helmet?

    Yeah is not like the QB comes up with the plays. So the guy who is calling the plays says his play calling is much better now. Seems like he is a quick learner in the NFL.

    Some so called NFL experts still think Phila more productive with Vick at the helm

    Ride the hot qb and see what happens is safe way for Chipper

    I think they would be equally productive with either. It comes down to play calling and then red zone execution. Foles maybe has done a bit better in the red zone, but some of that could be the product of better play calling also. If Vick gets back in, would like to see Chip giving Vick some of the straight passes out of the gun that Foles gets without having to pull the read option BS where I think the team struggles some for sure.

    Either way, Philly is in a good situation at QB. We joke here and there about it, but Foles look like he could be a starter in this league, not just a fill-in ... so they may have at least a guy who can play QB when Vick leaves for a few years.
