The Daily Numbers (Eagles Edition): 56 pass attempts for Michael Vick yesterday.
4 interceptions. And a 5th that would have sealed a loss in final minute was dropped by Browns.
17-16 win for the Birds, despite playing a butt-ugly game.
1-0 record for the Eagles. Hey, a win is a win is a win.
91 yards, how far Vick marched the Eagles for the winning score in the 4th quarter.
12 snaps, how much Vick played in the preseason.
4 interceptions for Browns rookie QB Brandon Weeden, who may have actually been worse than Vick.
4 field goals for Browns kicker Phil Dawson; 1 miss for Eagles kicker Alex Henery, who made one from 42, missed from 45.
0 carries for LeSean McCoy in 3rd quarter.
110 yards on 20 carries for McCoy.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.I’m still waiting for Andy Reid to explain how he could have Michael Vick make 56 pass attempts yesterday. Time’s yours, Andy.

I Don’t Get It: Like I said, 56 pass attempts. After Vick played 12 snaps in the preseason. I guess yesterday’s game was Vick’s preseason. At least we better hope so.

Today’s Upper: Hey, they managed to win. We’ve seen lots of games where they did not. And how about the Phillies. They’re just 6 games out of the Wild Car.
