Lincoln Finacial's Bad Investment

They Keep chasing me!!!

The Eagles had a very eventful off season with the signing of some so called big name free agents and the re-signing of the franchises best player, Michael Vick. With the money that was invested in DE Jason Babin, overrated, DT Cullen Jenkins, earning his pay, CB Nnamdi Asomugha, Jury still out, they could have maybe cut back on them and signed some vets for their sorry excuse for an offensive line and a LB that can play in space and make a tackle for their young and talentless Linebacking core. Oh yea, I forgot to mention they gave the often injured Mike Vick $100 Million in his re-signing. Now I'm no GM but I think I understand a little bit of how you show build a team and with no protection for your All Pro QB and no solid LB's how can you contend for a championship?

 I say Championship because the birds always go to the playoffs, somehow, but what they can't do is win the big one, the Superbowl. They are suppose to be in contention this season with all the acquisitions they made in the off season but a slow 1-2 start is raising some eyebrows. They lost a shootout with the Falcons who, I think man for man is not as talented as the "Seagulls" and then they comeback the next week and take a dominating loss to the G-Men. These two games showed not only do they need help, but the coaching on both sides of the ball is erratic. They did the right thing for once and spent a couple dollars but on the wrong personnel. This could backfire because next season they will not only be hesitant in spending for these names they might also be close to the Salary Cap.
