Philadelphia Eagles Coach Andy Reid announced earlier today that Jeff Garcia will start against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night. Lucky for Jeff that this is an away game. I can only imagine what the boo-birds would do if Garcia doesn't come out strong, if this game was in Philly. I am sure talk radio will be interesting the next few days and afterwards.
When Feeley started in six games in the 2002 season he was 5-1, so I thought given that historical statistic that Coach Reid would turn the reins over to AJ.
Garcia looked pretty good the other day when he filled, let's hope that him practicing with the first team this week, will help him get his rhythm and shake some of the cobwebs loose. Garcia is 36 and has a lot of experience with the west coast offense, so I think Reid made the right choice. Feeley is a little younger and has less starting experience but has a lot of time with this team, specifically the offense, and the coaching staff, so he knows the ins and the outs. Both men are certainly qualified to start, but only time will tell.
Hopefully the defense and special teams work extra hard this week and get their head's in the game. The Colt's are a tough team, and the Eagles will be lucky to pull out a win in prime time Sunday Night.
