4/12/12 The 2011 NFL season was a roller coaster ride for the Philadelphia Eagles. The self-proclaimed "Dream Team" was the talk of the league during the offseason with free agent acquisitions that included Asante Samuel, Cullen Jenkins and Vince Young, among others. However, they failed to live up to their billing during the regular season, getting off to a rocky 1-4 start and sputtering to a disappointing 8-8 finish and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2007. In 2012, the Eagles hope to avoid the injuries and disappointment that plagued their 2011 campaign and return to glory once again.

The Eagles - Season Preview

After finishing the 2010-11 NFL season 10-6 and first in the Eastern division of the National Football Conference, the Philadelphia Eaglesselected Baylor offensive guard Danny Watkins with the No. 23 overallpick in the 2011 NFL entry draft.

2011 Off Season

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking for a big season out of Michael Vick. Last year he made his debut and proved he is just as, if not more, explosive than he was before his hiatus. There are rumors about Favre coming out of retirement again and signing with the Eagles to be Vick's back up but Favre's agent denies these claims. The Eagles finished first in their division last year after the Giants' blunder punting to Desean Jackson. This gave them the tie breaker. The Eagles have signed Nnamdi Asomugha giving them a deep rotation at the cornerback position. They have also signed Vince Young as a back up to Vick. Young has the same skill set just not nearly as refined. We'll see if Vick can turn Young into a successful scramble, run and gun type quarterback. Look again for an exciting season in the NFC East as the Eagles try to take first place is one of the toughest divisions in the NFL.
