01:35 PM ET 10.29 | The Eagles aren't in a good place right now and it all has to do with Michael Vick. The quarterback always gets blamed when things get rough; that comes with the territory, but in Philadelphia, things are getting tense and it seems they're coming to a head. After getting stomped by the Falcons in front of a Philly-friendly crowd, Vick stands firm behind his claim that the loss wasn't his fault, but he's not about to pretend things are gumdrops and lollipops. If Tim Tebow was in Philly backing up Vick, you'd be hard pressed to believe fans wouldn't have rioted by now trying to get him to start. The current backup, Nick Foles, had an impressive preseason, and we may see what he can do in the regular season as soon as next Monday against the Saints.

Why not? Andy Reid's blamed his DC and fired him for it. Now blame Vick. (okay, maybe Vick's tendency to turn the ball over has in fact played a key role in Philly's struggles). Maybe it's time to replace the big guy with headset, the walrus moustache and the blaming complex instead.

"Yeah, I suck" is definitely a unique approach in the NFL.

No starting QB worth 10 cents ever agrees that a change is best. Not a good sign if Vick thinks this !

Not exactly what you want you "leader" telling the papers, right? I can't imagine Brady, Mannings, Roethlisberger, Brees... or 90% of the other starters admitting or accepting a demotion this easily. Bad sign.

Was thinking the same thing. Confidence is something that you want from any athlete. Especially your QB.

Great picture.

You take a photo supplied by the Associated Press. Hand it to a daughter company of Sports Illustrated - who's strength, you'd assume would be their illustrations.

And this is the garbage we get.

No seriously, great picture.
