The Eagles have since lost six in a row -- the last four by at least 13 points.
"I don't know how it can get much worse," tight end Brent Celek said. "It makes me sick."
Now, they get to play without their top RB.
McCoy sitting out will give Bryce Brown his first start since his senior year of high school in 2009, and fellow rookie Nick Foles will make a second straight start in place of Vick, concussed in the loss to Dallas.
Foles threw interceptions on Philadelphia's first two possessions last Sunday and finished 21 of 46 for 204 yards. He was sacked four times behind an injury-plagued offensive line which has surrendered 33, third-most in the NFL entering Week 12.
QB Nick Foles has been even worse in the passing game, averaging just 4.6 yards per pass play (against teams that would allow 6.4 yppp to an average team).
Its not all his fault, nor was it all Vick's, but a 40 QB rating last week against one of the worst 3 secondaries in the NFL doesnt inspire me.
I love home underdogs. I love points.
I also love a 2 win team laying points on the road in late November.
The Eagles are starting seven rookies tonight. My cat's name is Mittens and Ive never seen the Jersey Shore. Probably not playing a side tonight. GL with your gift.
