Philadelphia Eagles: Super Bowl Frontrunners?

So the Eagles last night destroyed the Washington Redskins, 59-28 putting up the most points in Monday Night Football history, but that wasn't the most impressive thing. No, that was the fact that the Eagles were up 35-0 after five possessions, and just nine seconds into the second quarter. It was a whooping, and it was a whooping because of Michael Vick. Vick's statline was incredible with over 330 yards passing, 80 yards rushing, and a total of six (yes, six) touchdowns.

But that was not the most amazing part, it was the precision and unstoppable nature that Vick played with. Look no further than the first play of the game with his pass to DeSean Jackson to score 17 seconds in:

Vick was unstoppable, going 10-10 with a three touchdowns before there was any sort of small mishap, an incompletion that occurred only because of a missed assignment by the line. Vick is making a case for being the league MVP, even though he was not the opening day starter, and with injury has only started five out of nine games.

Though the Eagles do no have the best record in the NFL, or the NFC for that matter, they have to be in the discussion as a Super Bowl favorite, but they should probably be leading it. All you have to do is simply look at the games in which Vick has started and played the whole game. They are 4-0 and outscoring their opponents 188-87. Not to mention wins over the Colts with Vick and even a win against NFC-leading Falcons without him.

Just look at the roster besides Vick, they have a shifty running back that can catch balls out of the backfield in LeSean McCoy. They have two of the fastest receivers that Vick has at his disposal with Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, with Brent Celek in the middle of the field drawing attention away from them.

Then on defense they have an elite pass rusher in Trent Cole, Stewart Bradley to stop the run on the second level with Ernie Sims able to rush the passer extremely well with his speed at the linebacker position, and then finally Asante Samuel shutting down one side of the field in the secondary. They seem to have every facet covered for the most part.

Vick and Jackson seem to be an unstoppable force together too. In the games that Vick has played the majority of Jackson has averaged 115 yards receiving, and caught four touchdowns.

The Eagles have the parts to win the Super Bowl, and the way Vick is playing and has looked thus far this year, you have to put them at the top of the list. At the very least as the NFC leader. I mean, do you want to play against Vick and the Eagles?
