bigtexx didnt watch the eagles last season, i guess he thinks Vick played the full 16 games last year lol
Vick didn't sink Reid, the whole team/organization plus himself is what sunk Reid. Vick didn't play well most of the time but again Foles was just as inconsistent and there were other issues. The offensive line was in shambles, by the end of the season there was 1 starter left playing on that line. The defense was horrible. There were coaching shakeups. It was also pretty much established that many in the organization gave up on Reid in the middle of that 8 game losing streak last season. Reid has done great in Kansas City but he has a much better defense down there than he did in Philly. The offense line and offense as a whole is intact. Let's be honest and not to take anything away from what the Chiefs have done because you have to win the games assigned you but if you look at their schedule thus far, they haven't played any top-tier teams this season. I think their schedule so far has included 1 team with a winning record. The Denver games over the next 3 weeks will tell a great deal about how real this team is.
Could not have worded it any more perfectly than this. And yet it ALWAYS happens... ALWAYS!!! I get so tilted still. The Dolphins are sunk until Jeff Ireland is gone. He should've been out the door years ago. I'm debating relinquishing my fandom until this happens. Especially living in the Bay Area and having such a convenient temporary bandwagon available lol.

Fox Sports is reporting that Incognito left racially charged and threatening texts and voicemails to Martin. (according to the Dolphins board)

I remember seeing that because of the fact that racial slurs and death threats were involved, it's a hate crime, therefore criminal charges could definitely be a result of this.
Felt the Incognito-Martin Dolphins story deserved it's own thread. If anyone/mod can take the last few posts on the topic and put it in the new thread that'd be helpful so this topic can get it's own thread away from general NFL week 9 stuff.
