Nov 16th
Philadelphia Eagles superstar quarterback Michael Vick is the main catalyst of his team’s unexpected success in the ongoing National Football League season.
In the recent success of the Eagles, Vick was sensational as he carried his team to the ladder of success in the 2010 NFL season.
Last Monday night, Vick again had a dominant game as he carried the Eagles to a morale boosting 59-28 victory over the home-team Washington Redskins.
Vick was awesome in the game as he scored six touchdowns to lead to his team’s demolition of the tough Redskins.
The win increases the Eagles record to 6-3 win-loss card while dropping the Redskins to a 4-5 record in the current NFL season.
Philadelphia Eagles superstar quarterback Michael Vick is playing superb in the 2010 National Football League season.
The night is also historic for Vick as he became the first player in NFL history with at least 300 yards passing, 50 yards rushing, four passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in a game.
Vick was also 101 focused in the game as he was able to complete his first 10 passes and finished 20 for 28 for 333 yards.
The superstar quarterback also ran eight times for 80 yards and two scores, moving past Steve Young and into second place in NFL history for yards rushing by a quarterback.
Inspired by the huge performance of Vick, the rest of the team also played their hearts out as they were able to set team records for total yards in a game (592), points in a half (45) and had the biggest lead after the first quarter for any NFL road team (28-0) since at least 1950.
The inspiring win place the Eagles into a first-place tie with the New York Giants in the division, with both teams’ two games ahead of the Redskins.

Redskins superstar quarterback Donovan McNabb was overplayed by Vick as the former only finished 17 for 31 for 295 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions; nearly all of the yards coming after the Redskins had dug themselves a five-touchdown hole.
McNabb and his team were however remain confident of their chances in the NFL this year despite their home-loss.
The Redskins believe they can still attain success if they continue to play hard as a team and stay focus at all times.

Oct 16th
The Atlanta Falcons are dead serious in its effort to capture the 2010 National Football League crown.
The Falcons are aiming for its fifth victory in the current NFL season when they visit the Philadelphia Eagles on October 17.
Sporting an impressive 4-1 win-loss record the Falcons are picked to win their game against the Eagles 2-3 record,who is missing the services of its star quarterback Michael Vick and some other important players of the team.
The Falcons have a great NFL season this year due to the impressive performance of its stars quarterback Matt Ryan, running-back Michael Turner and wide receiver Roddy White.
Under the guidance of its coach Mike Smith, the Falcons have an impressive year in the current NFL season due to its superb offence and very tough defense.
In the 2010 NFL season, the Falcons leads in defense,with 10 interceptions while collecting three fumbles and holding opposing QBs to a 72.5 rating.
Smith was able to successfully incorporate to the team the importance of a good offence and reliable defense to get wins in the NFL.
With the odds on its side, the Eagles lead by back-up quarterback Kevin Kolb need to have an A-game if they wish to defeat the Falcons in-front of their fans on Sunday.
Kolb needs to seek ways to score and distribute the ball to his teammates so that they can upset the Falcons.
The Eagles also needs to play tough defense and frustrate Ryan so that he cannot properly orchestrate plays for the Falcons.
Although the underdog, the Eagles can defeat the Falcons if they stay focus and fully motivated to give a win to the franchise and its fans.
A GUILTLESS EAGLE!
Jul 27th
Philadelphia Eagles have been so keen on their famous quarterback, Michael Vick, who was reported to have travel restrictions to Pennsylvania. They are positive and don’t worry about Vick’s travelling with the team during preseason and regular season.
Vick has reported to have been involved in shooting Quanis Phillips (a co-defendant in the dog fighting case against Vick on 2007). The incident happened in Vick’s 30th birthday celebration, 25th June, 2010 at around 2:00 AM outside the Guadalajara nightclub in Virginia Beach. Authorities together with the Philadelphia Eagles initiated the investigation.
In the interview with Vick, the authorities came up with a conclusion that he is not actually the shooter not is he aware that someone’s going to be shoot. He definitely has nothing to do with any of that business. And claims had been said that Vick wasn’t even at the very spot where the shooting occurred. Vick has been very cooperative with the authorities by answering their questions diligently.
Reports and speculation about the Eagles considering releasing Vick from the team are not true and expressed a safe statement “We will continue to gather information and monitor the situation and we will not have any further comment until that process is complete.”
Can Vick’s issue affect the team’s performance over the games scheduled in the NFL? Will Vick still have the trust of his co-players? Can this issue possibly make the Eagles to decide to release him from the team? Will his absence enough to cover the totals and spread set by the sportsbook? Can the sports bettor still trust the Eagles and put wager on them?
The league spokesman, Greg Aiello on Monday told the media that the famous quarterback has no change in his playing status. The NFL never gave Vick any disciplinary action regarding this issue.
Vick showed his guiltless face and showed his willingness to still play and never minding the issue. The Eagles however are very supportive on him by accepting him as if nothing happened.
NFC East Preview and Predictions

Washington Redskins:
After the massive failure of 2009 seasons in NFL championship the team is totally in a scattered situation.
There is no actual hope for the upcoming seasons in 2010 with respect to the analysis based on performance. There is a huge dispute with the new style of defensive scheme by the HC Mike Shanahan 4-3 and Haynesworth does not agree to play with this scheme. That is why he is now against with the team and probably will be cut ties with the Redskins.
The only impressive area is the including of QB Donavan McNabb and the new head coach. McNabb led Philadelphia in the last season and eventually it is an advantage for the Redskins on the 3rd October Crucial match.
The team is now completely formed with the youth member and it look like feeling it can compete. But in real there is not just too much hope for the upcoming season.
Redskins Preview
Dallas Cowboys:
Dallas cowboys have showed smashing success in NFC east. They are a team look like real confident and played like a total team effort. In the coming season the Cowboys are adding some skilled players and it makes the team stronger.
Bryant is the trump card for the team. If he can prove his talent again it would be a simple equation for them to win the championship. The combined effort of Bryant, WR Miles Austin, WR Roy Williams, and TE Jason Witten could be the best offense in the championship.
Their only loss is Adams which cannot be recovered as he was an heir apparent in that position. So, overall we can easily expect they could again hold the NFC east title.
Cowboys Preview
Philadelphia Eagles:
The Eagles had a really good regular season just missed out the title of NFC east very narrowly.
The McNabb tenure is ended with it is now under possession of QB Kolb. Huge expectation is arising based on his performance and fans are expecting a smashing success. Kolb already showed his talents in the absence of McNabb. HC Andy Reid is in under pressure as he selected Kolb and Kolb could make or break end of his coaching career in NFL.
The game after the day of Christmas against Minnesota is really crucial for them otherwise it will create do or die situation with the Cowboys. It is expected the will try their best to get back the playoffs.
Eagles Preview
New York Giants:
In absence of the teams three stars receiving threats, they have played good enough and BIG blues deserved to be praised. But they had all sorts of problem in their defense in the last season. The team suffered injury problems in the last season.
The real admiration goes to QB Eli Manning because he was one of the top signal callers in NFL and is in really good form. With leading by Pap Flaherty their offensive line is quite strong and they have some real talent to show their skills in the upcoming seasons.
With the addition of Pierre-Paul in the defense could make the big difference. If the defense can strike, surely there are some good positive results for the NY Giants. If all goes well this could be a dangerous squad for holding the title in the upcoming season.
