The Eagles easily handled the Kansas City Chiefs and are now back on track at 2-1.  They need to be with the Giants 3-0 and Cowboys 2-1.  It is early in the season to say this, but it is true, the Redskins are at 1-2 and will remain the the second tier of nfl teams until they get an experienced quarterback.

Back to the Eagles and quarterbacks, Michael Vick played but was not noticeable.  He is in great shape but is not used to the game time speed of the action and is not used to working with his teammates.  It was a good pick up for the Eagles as insurance but will take Vick several more weeks before he is game day ready as a quarterback and will only be effective for a quarter or half.  McNabb will heal and Kolb seems to be holding down the fort for now and Garcia is in the wings.  Look for Garcia to get released here soon.  I predict Vick will stay in Philly next year as he learns this offense and that Kolb will be released unless he shows more consistency.  But he needs reps and he is now getting them.  Who knows?  McNabb could retire after the Eagles win the Superbowl this year and this becomes Vick's team with Kolb as his back up.   Can't wait for the next Eagles/Giants match up. 

OK, so the Giants pulled it out against the Cowboys and are now 2-0.  It was a close game and the rematch in NY will be all Cowboys.  Romo is passing for 300 yards now and the defense will continue to improve and expect the Cowboys to run off at least 3 straight wins.  The Panthers will be the first to go down as the Cowboys rebound and get their first home win of the season.

Surprised the Eagles were handled by the Saints, but Drew Brees is for real and Kolb is not.  Kolb is a good solid NFL caliber quarterback but is not a guy that will lead a team to the playoffs.  With McNabb, the game would be higher scoring and an Eagle victory.  Expect Kolb to get the start this Sunday against the Chiefs at Home.  With the Chiefs' struggles this season thus far, Kolb will lead the team to a fourth quarter lead but I would not be surprised to see Vick or Garcia step in for a few series.  If Kolb gets off to a shaky start, he will most likely get to play the half but would have to get the hook.  You cannot let a Vick and Garcia sit down and watch the game get away from you when both are experienced, healthy and available.

The Redskins pulled it out but can't afford to go to the wire every week.  Too many good teams have the ability to score in a hurry. Even though they play the Lions next, they are playing in Detroit and the Lions are playing hard this year. I am picking the upset.  Lions by 10.

Eagles 24 Chiefs 10

Cowboys 31 Panthers 17

Lions 27 Redskins 23
