Now This...This is Awkward

Over the last few weeks Eagles fans have managed to put the 30 minute Kevin Kolb era in the rearview mirror and fall in love with the infamous Michael Vick. Spurred by his flashy play making ability, and immediate gridiron success, Michael Vick is no longer an evil dog torturer in the likes of Broad and Cottman but the messiah, a god send to a football Franchise appearing more desperate than it needs to be.

While Vick may be Philly's "messiah" he is far from Superman, and last week against Washington that showed when Vick injured his ribs on a 30 yard scramble that was getting called back by holding from the start. Funny how that works. This week the Birds are marching into San Fran for a Sunday Night bout and Kevin Kolb is leading the pack; now what do the fans want? If Kolb dazzles the Niners the case will be made that he should have the ball even when Vick recovers from his rib injury. If Kolb stumbles and falls like in his debut; it will be just another reminder of the rocky road that lies ahead, and that the excitement of the Kolb-era was ill fated and ill advised.
