He seemed very resolved about starting Kevin Kolb against Jacksonville,” said NFL on FOX analyst Brian Billick. “It seems like these conversations should have gone on within the Eagles organization before Reid said anything publicly about starting Kolb and Vick. Vick’s a dynamic player and it looks like he’s able to operate within the pocket now, but I’m a little surprised Andy Reid made the choice to go with him this week.”BILLICK: FALCONS HAVE LEGIT SHOT TO UPSET SUPER BOWL CHAMP THIS WEEKEND — “Atlanta is coming off a really solid performance against Arizona where they found that they have a great one-two punch with Michael Turner and Jason Snelling,” said NFL on FOX analyst Brian Billick. “Drew Brees continues to play at a high level each and every week so it’s important that Atlanta protect the ball and avoid turnovers. If they can do that, we’re going to have an exciting game in New Orleans and the Falcons will have a shot to pull off the upset over the Saints.”
And we are finished.
