Good news for Philadelphia Eagles fans across the country and bad news for the rest of the league. Michael Vick is looking like the Michael Vick we used to watch in Atlanta.

Boy oh boy, Monday Night’s performance against the Washington Redskins was not expected. I didn’t watch the game but I was on Twitter and kept seeing comments about the game. I finally checked ESPN’s website and seen that the Eagles were leading the Redskins 21-7 at halftime.

The score was a little surprising to me but I wasn’t sure what to actually think about it. It’s almost like this is an early sign of what’s to come now that Chip Kelly is the shot caller in Philadelphia.

Kelly said after the game that the team looked slow, which had most of us asking the question, When?

Phillip Rivers and the Chargers looked like they were going to pull off an upset against the Houston Texans. But that didn’t really go as planned. Rivers and the Chargers blew the lead against the Texans and lost to by a field goal with only five seconds left to go in the game.

Pretty disappointing but what can you do.

Vick used both of his abilities to beat the Redskins. He picked up 54 yards on 9 carries with 1 touchdown and completed 15 of 25 passing attempts for 203 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions , while McCoy took off for a league leading 184 yards on 31 attempts.

So can Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles look to continue their fast paced offense against the San Diego Chargers?
