Let’s take a trip down memory lane today, shall we?

Before Sunday, the last time the Eagles faced the Ravens was on Nov. 23, 2008.

The game is less remembered for its result – a 36-7 Baltimore victory – than what happened when Andy Reid’s offense took the field in the second half.

Donovan McNabb was in his 10th season with the Eagles, ninth as a full-time starter. From the moment he took over as a rookie until that day at M&T Bank Stadium, he had never been pulled because of performance. But with the Eagles trailing 10-7 at halftime and McNabb struggling (8-for-18 for 59 yards and a pair of interceptions), Reid decided to go with Kevin Kolb.

Mike Freeman of CBS Sports, after talking to various assistants and scouts around the league, draws the conclusion that the book is out on Michael Vick. 

One unnamed scout supposedly told him: “No one is scared of Mike Vick anymore.”

Andy Reid on Wednesday was asked to clear up a gray area when it comes to this Eagles offense. Once and for all, who is calling the plays?

“Marty [Mornhinweg] does,” said Reid. “He does a good with that. The thing we have is have great communication during the game. We keep things wide open.”

There you go. If you are looking to assign blame for the decision to throw the ball 56 times against the Browns, the offensive coordinator owns a good chunk of that.

Michael Vick was asked about the aerial show on Sunday, and whether he prefers it that way or would like the running backs to carry more of the load.

“I think we could balance it out a little bit,” said Vick.

Jeremy Maclin’s status for Sunday’s home opener against the Ravens is up in the air, but he won’t practice today, Andy Reid said.

“He’s actually made progress here over the last couple days so that’s a good thing,” Reid said. “He’s feeling better. I wouldn’t list him as out today. That’s now how I’d list him, but he’s not going to practice.”

Time to check in on what the national media are saying about the Eagles this week. You probably could have guessed, but Michael Vick and Andy Reid are the focus of criticism around the country. Here’s the roundup.

Andy Reid asserted Monday that Michael Vick doesn’t get hit in the pocket any more than most NFL quarterbacks. So we did a little digging.

In the end, Michael Vick was able to laugh about his awful performance in Sunday’s uninspiring 17-16 win over the inept Cleveland Browns. “I gotta […]

Andy Reid has answered the question many times during his 13-plus years as the Eagles head coach: Why didn’t he run the ball more?

Sometimes the question is unfair. As any analyst worth his pocket-square will tell you, this is a passing league. If you can’t move the football through the air, chances are, you’re not competing for a playoff spot, let alone a Lombardi Trophy.

But other times, the question has merit. Today was one of those times. Michael Vick was in a funk, making mistake after mistake, going 29-for-56 (51.8 percent) and tossing four interceptions. He was sacked twice and hit 11 times, as the offensive line struggled throughout.

With the opener just two days away, it’s time for some predictions that we’ll likely look back and laugh at a few months from now.

We came up with 10 questions that focus on the Eagles’ 2012 season. Here’s how we see things playing out.

Football returned Wednesday night as the Dallas Cowboys went into MetLife Stadium and handed the defending Super Bowl champion Giants a 24-17 loss.

Some quick takeaways from that game, with an Eagles slant.

Bovada released  a list of Eagles props Tuesday, which includes the chances of Michael Vick staying healthy and Andy Reid getting fired in-season.

Take a look:

With national predictions rolling in fast and furious, it’s time to once again round up what people are saying about the Eagles.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has stated publicly on two different occasions now that last season was unacceptable and a repeat performance would not be tolerated. On Thursday, during his annual state-of-the-team address, he said that he needs to see “substantial improvement” in 2012.

Michael Vick was asked what that means to him.

“It means he wants to see significant improvement,” said Vick with a laugh. “I didn’t need to hear that because I know exactly what we’re facing, what we want to accomplish this season. If that’s not the goal, then what is it?”

After more than a decade of driving Philadelphia fans to distraction by not quite getting over the hump, Super Bowl-wise, quarterback Donovan McNabb is apparently […]

If NFL personnel people were starting a franchise and had their pick of any coach in America, who would they choose?

That was one of the questions Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com (a former scout for the Eagles) posed to 20 personnel people, and none of them chose Andy Reid.
